In a move that could only be described as “Goslingesque,” Keanu Reeves channeled the spirit of Baby Goose recently, vacating his seat on the subway to make way for a woman holding a bag — even though Keanu was holding a bag himself! It’s like he doesn’t even think of himself, only others! Seriously though, the YouTube video is entitled Keanu Reeves: Gentleman or Douche?, and I can’t imagine how that’s even in question. The fact that he’s even riding the subway in the first place means he’s a pretty down-to-Earth guy. He’s a multi-millionaire movie star. I can barely stand to be around those scuzz-toting peons myself, and I’m not even a ten thousandaire. If I was Keanu Reeves, there’s no way you’d catch me on public transportation without a gas mask and at least three bodyguards carrying crossbows. I rode those subways for three years, and if there’s one thing I learned, it’s that breathing poor people air makes you ugly.

He loves the subway. A pack of wyld stallyns couldn’t pull him away.
Keanu was just relieved the fucking cunt wasn’t handcuffed to the rail.
That Keanu is a stand up guy.
This video must have been shot in China, since Keanu leaves.
He still looks sad, though. You can practically feel the weight of the world on his shoulders as he ponders, “Are there enough good deeds out there to make up for Johnny Mnemonic?”
What an amazingly well centered, lit and focused surreptitious video of a movie star being humble and gracious to a stranger. Thank goodness I’m not they cynical type or I’d be accusing him of setting that up and filming it for his own good publicity.
Keanu can be Gosling’s new tag team partner in “Adopting Out Abandoned Puppies Championship”! :D Qaplah!
Worst. Stripclub. Ever.
I vote part gentleman, part awesome.
Noticed he only offered his seat after a black guy sat next to him. I’m on to you, sir!
@Stinky Keanu doesn’t really need the positive PR since he knows his band will reshape the fucking future.
Whoa girl, you could probably use a sit-down after hard day of cleaning up after the Schwarzeneggers.
This exchange was so terrifying, Brett had to get up and change seats.
There is a bomb on this subway…
canadians. they are among you.
Hey girl bro, take this seat. It’s warm, like my heart.
No way Christopher Reeves would’ve given that seat up
haha…. People think he’s a douche because they assume the reason he got up was because a black guy sat down beside him. RACISM LIVES!
I wanna give Keanu a boner-free hug.
The real heroics behind this act are that he did this despite the fact that she didn’t think that San Dimas Highschool football ruled
If Keanu was homeless I don’t think he would have made all those movies. The homeless don’t test well.
you can take the movie star out of Canada, but you can’t take the Canada out of the movie star…
I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that cocaine can indeed take the Canada out of the movie star.
Hey girl, there is no spoon.
