Fame and money can get to anybody’s head, making them think that because of the acknowledgement and material goods, they are better than anyone else. And we’ve seen numerous examples of celebrities being not very nice towards their colleagues, their staff and even their fans.
But do you know who isn’t like that? Everyone knows that it’s Keanu Reeves. The actor is considered to be of the nicest if not the nicest celebrity out there—generous and understanding, compassionate and considerate. He is the one that inspired so many wholesome memes and encouraged people to call one another ‘breathtaking.’
Well, he has done it again. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone, but he once again showed what a warm heart he has by gifting his stuntmen each a Rolex watch worth $10,000 with a personalized message.

Keanu Reeves is currently working on the fourth installment of the John Wick franchise. The three previous movies were a great success both commercially and critically. All three of them grossed more than $587m worldwide and seeing how people liked them, Keanu Reeves is continuing with the fourth one. Keanu actually stated that he will make sequels as long as there is demand and if he sees that the movies are successful.

The filming of John Wick 4 began on June 28, 2021 and the movie is set to be released on May 27, 2022. The filming took place in several countries, among which is France. This is where Keanu Reeves was spotted in one of the restaurants in Paris, Le Bistro Paul Bert, on Saturday night having a great time with his four stuntmen, Bruce Lee Concepcion, Jeremy Marinas, Dave Camarillo and Li Qiang.
What was special about this outing was that Keanu Reeves wanted to say thank you to his stuntmen for joining him on the journey that is filming the fourth movie in the franchise. He chose to do that by gifting them each a Rolex which retails for £7,300, which is about $10,000, and left his fans speechless once again, admiring his generosity and just what a good person he is.

Not only that, but when one of the stuntmen, Jeremy Marinas, showed his Instagram followers the watch, we got to know that they were personalized too. An engraving read, “The John Wick Five. Jeremy, thank you. Keanu. JW4. 2021” which makes the watches even more valuable and sentimental.
Now all four stuntmen and Keanu are matching with their Rolex Submariners, released in September 2020. But it was probably not that easy to get his hands on them as just recently, it was reported that there is actually a shortage of the luxury Swiss watches, as with many things, during the pandemic. To the four stuntmen, this may add to the feeling of being appreciated by the John Wick star.

Keanu Reeves is known for his kind heart, calm temper and humility. Numerous times he has donated his salary to charities, to fund his other films or agreed to lower his salary so other crew members could get paid more as he is not motivated by money.
In an interview in 2006 he said, “Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account.” It seems that nothing has changed and he still is as wholesome as ever.
