00:00No matter what generation you belong to, you have all surely experienced the release of a film or series that left its mark on you.
00:09and which today are like grafted to a precise moment in your life.
00:14Some may even remember the exact location or who they were with when they discovered the work that moved them.
00:22It's like a scar without the pain and sometimes, more than a film, it's an actor who will mark you or at least the discovery of this actor.
00:32The one we are going to talk about today is one of those who mark an entire era without ever really trying to do so.
00:38An actor who, behind his iconic roles, hides a life filled with wounds and losses.
00:43A man who inspires as much through his silences as through his films, and whose trajectory sometimes resembles more an initiatory test than a simple Hollywood career.
00:54This actor is Kenny O'Rives.
00:57And while these characters have left their mark on us, from Neo to John Wick, his story is far more dramatic and inspiring than any script he's ever been given.
01:07And in this video, in fact, I'm going to approach his career as I regularly do in a chronological manner.
01:14I'm not going to talk about every single one of his movies or every single one of his appearances because that's just not what I like to do.
01:21But we're going to look at his career as a whole and how he managed to become the star he is today by going through tragic trials without losing his footing.
01:34And in reality, you will see, it is an achievement.
01:35And speaking of hardship and mental health, this video is sponsored by BetterHelp.
01:41This is his first time with us, so let me introduce them to you.
01:45BetterHelp is a 100% online therapy platform.
01:49What does that mean?
01:50Well, it simply means that no matter where you are, you can be connected with a therapist who is a good fit for you.
01:59All you need to do is fill out a short questionnaire to express your needs, preferences and expectations.
02:04Personally, I love it because it includes absolutely everyone and it's very specific.
02:09And that's already very comforting when you're trying to take care of your mental health.
02:14And this guarantees that you will be fully understood according to your needs and put in touch with the right therapist.
02:20Additionally, BetterHelp works with over 200 certified French therapists registered with the regional health agency who are available to support you via video, phone, or messaging, depending on what makes you most comfortable.
02:34The really cool thing I think is that you can change therapists at any time at no extra cost if it doesn't work out.
02:42To guarantee you the best possible support, there is no obligation and you have several useful tools to monitor your progress.
02:50For example, an online journal between you and the specialist who is supporting you, for example.
02:56Another point that I appreciate is the possibility of exchanging messages with your therapist between sessions if you feel the need.
03:02And what I also like about the platform is that it allows isolated people, people with disabilities and those who are unable to travel, to consult from home.
03:11When you know how difficult it can be to get through therapy, and if you also have to travel miles, it can easily become an additional obstacle that no longer exists with BetterHelp.
03:23And so, to support you and make things easier for you, you benefit from a 10% reduction on the site thanks to my link that I put in the description.
03:31Thanks to them for sponsoring this video and thanks to you.
03:35And we're off to the Kenya Reeves story.
03:40It all began on September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon.
03:46Little Kenya Reeves is born.
03:48This may seem surprising because he has no Lebanese origins.
03:51But this is simply explained by the fact that her mother, Patricia Taylor, a young English woman, and her father, Samuel Nowlin Reeves Jr., a young American of Hawaiian origin, met there because of their respective professions.
04:04And since they lived there and their love story was serious, they decided to have a child.
04:10It's not very important, but culturally, Kenya comes from the Hawaiian Keanu, which means cool mountain breeze.
04:19Unfortunately, when he was 3-4 years old, Kenya saw his father fall into drugs and the couple separated, forcing Patricia to leave Lebanon,
04:28even though she is pregnant with a little girl named Kim, who will be born in Sydney, Australia.
04:37Then she got a job in New York as a costume designer, and it was there, backstage at the biggest Broadway theaters, where she worked,
04:45that Keanu discovers the atmosphere of the stage and comedy.
04:48All three of them stayed there until 1970, when the little family finally settled in Toronto, Canada.
05:06and that's where Keanu and Kim will grow up.
05:09For Keanu, school has always been complicated, the many moves have not helped him,
05:14and he turns out to be dyslexic, which complicates his learning, since he has difficulty reading and writing correctly.
05:22But Patricia notices that since New York, he shows a particular interest in comedy,
05:28So she will enroll him in several art schools, including the Etobie-Cock School of the Art.
05:33Why multiple schools? Because Keanu has a hard time fitting in and is regularly expelled for misbehavior.
05:41He's not a violent or mean guy, but he has trouble following rules and fitting into the mold.
05:47And so, at that time, the only things that helped him to focus were theater, but also ice hockey,
05:55which is the national sport in Toronto, where he guards the goal and even earns the nickname The Wall.
06:03He is so passionate about this sport that he actually dreams of representing Canada at the Olympic Games.
06:08but an injury and his growing interest in the theater would decide otherwise.
06:14Keanu therefore takes part in workshops, that is to say improvisation exercises, role-playing, interpretation, etc.
06:22And very quickly, he landed small roles in local and school productions in the city.
06:26Especially in the famous play Romeo and Juliet, which is still performed today by all schools around the world, a classic.
06:40And this period of his life is extremely important because he will get through his adolescence as best he can,
06:46coping with his parents' separation, a drug-addicted father, repeated moves and his school problems.
06:53And all of this will forge the New Reeves Quay that we know today, very calm and solitary, but fond of strong sensations.
07:00Then at 17 and without any diploma, he left school for good, which he considered unsuitable for his temperament.
07:08and started doing small jobs here and there, sometimes in the theatre world as an assistant stage manager,
07:14but also as a waiter or salesman in record stores.
07:18In this case, it is really the teenager, like many today, who manages to earn the little money he can have and achieve his dreams.
07:28Where Kenyu is lucky is that when he was in New York, his mother had a romantic relationship with a director named Paul Aaron.
07:37He's far from a big name, even though he did release a film called Maxi with then-star Glenn Close.
07:44And when Paul, despite their separation, learned that Kenyu wanted to make films,
07:48He chose to help her by giving her advice and offering to take part in castings.
07:53That's how, between work and helping out, he first appeared in a Canadian TV spot for Coca-Cola,
08:00then have a very small role in a TV series broadcast on the Canadian channel CBC called Hanging In,
08:07which will become his first two real appearances on television.
08:11Kenyu is happy, it gives him back his self-confidence and above all, he finally feels like he belongs.
08:15In 1984, things accelerated when he had just turned 20.
08:20He landed his first real role in the theater in Wolf Boy,
08:24the story of a suicidal young man who befriends another teenager
08:28who has mental disorders that cause him to believe he is a werewolf, hence the name Wolf Boy.
08:35So the play will be much talked about because it directly addresses the theme of homosexuality,
08:41of madness and marginality, and at a time when these themes are still very, very taboo,
08:48This won't please conservatives who don't want to see homosexuals,
08:52nor to the LGBT community, who criticize the play for associating homosexuality with madness.
08:58Despite everything, the audience appreciates Kenyu's performance and his risk-taking,
09:03risk-taking that we will find throughout his career, you will see.
09:07Anyway, after that, and thanks to the contact of his father-in-law, Paul Aeron,
09:12He gets a visa for the United States and chooses to leave everything to try his luck in Los Angeles.
09:17with almost nothing in his pocket, no degree, no money, just unwavering determination.
09:25There, he went to a series of auditions and was rejected like many others,
09:29but he will finally land a role in the film Youngblood,
09:33a film about hockey, his other passion, in which he plays the role of a Quebec goalie.
09:39Chance sometimes does things well and it is a safe bet that his real experience
09:42helped him a lot in getting the role, but so much the better,
09:46This allows him to add this to his CV and therefore appear later
09:50in small second-rate series, just to pay the rent and put food on the table.
09:55Kenyu is a far cry from the star he is today,
09:58but his acting and his look appeal to some directors like Oliver Stone
10:02who worked as a screenwriter on the film Scarface
10:06and who offered him the lead role in a film called Platoon.
10:10But against all expectations, Kenyu refused the role after reading the script,
10:14despite the struggle and difficulty of finding work in Hollywood
10:18because he did not want to participate in certain scenes of gratuitous violence,
10:22including a rape scene that he considered immoral and shocking
10:26and he will therefore leave his place to Charlie Chin
10:29who will see his career explode after this film.
10:33And in truth, no regrets for Kenyu
10:35since he accepts the lead role in a film called River's Edge,
10:39a dark drama inspired by true events
10:41which would become his showcase and his biggest success at the time.
10:45From there, he received several proposals
10:47and continues with other films and series of the genre.
10:50The problem, as we can see very often in the cinema,
10:53is that without realizing it,
10:55he locks himself into a genre,
10:56that of the cool teenager and the cute little girl for teenage girls
10:59and he doesn't really like that.
11:02He will therefore try other types of roles.
11:04as in Dangerous Liaisons
11:05with John Malkovich, Glenn Close,
11:09Michel Pfeiffer and Yuma Turman.
11:12Just that.
11:12Well, the casting is crazy,
11:14especially for a young actor,
11:16but unfortunately,
11:17the public calls him the weak link in the film,
11:20judging his English accent too American
11:22and his acting too modern for the time of the film.
11:25Basically the movie and all the actors
11:27are critically acclaimed,
11:29but little Kenyu Reeves, there, ruined everything.
11:32It's hard for him to take,
11:34but he's not going to be put off.
11:35He then landed several small roles,
11:37notably in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,
11:41a comedy soup about a duo of slightly stupid teenagers
11:44which will become cult for part of this generation.
11:48A kind of Dumb and Dumber before its time
11:50which contrasts completely with his previous role,
11:53but which will stick to his skin a little
11:56because people will associate it with his character
11:59and see him as a bit of a silly actor.
12:02It's a bit stupid,
12:03I never understood this madness of associating actors
12:06to the role they play,
12:07but apparently, this is not the case for everyone.
12:08So after that, he will accept all kinds of roles.
12:11to try to get rid of this image
12:13and try all kinds of films,
12:16whether it's comedies or dramas
12:18or romantic movies.
12:20He will also become friends
12:21with actor River Phoenix
12:23during the filming of I Love You To Death
12:25and they will become almost inseparable.
12:30He will then play again in the sequel Bill and Ted
12:34despite the impact it had on perception
12:37what people have of him
12:38because in fact, he simply loved
12:40Ted's character actually
12:42and that he didn't see it at all
12:44like an idiot, but rather like an innocent teenager.
12:48But also, obviously, because
12:49as a young actor,
12:51It's difficult for him not to accept
12:53a role that had already been very successful.
12:55This is also partly why
12:57that he will choose to mark a real break
12:59with his previous characters
13:01by agreeing to star in My Own Private Idaho
13:04but also because his friend River is participating.
13:08And the film will seal their friendship for good.
13:11and even if the public will mainly notice River,
13:14his artistic leap
13:15will finally earn him the right to be taken seriously.
13:19The same year, he played in Point Break
13:21which will become a cult film
13:23which will mark for many
13:24the real beginning of his career
13:26and he proves it to everyone
13:27that he can also play physical roles
13:30and charismatic
13:31and that does him a lot of good.
13:34But unfortunately, in fact,
13:35the same year, his sister Kim
13:37is diagnosed with leukemia,
13:39which will inevitably affect him enormously.
13:42For him, Hollywood is no longer an issue.
13:44but to spend time with him,
13:45to support him in his treatments
13:47and to be a present brother.
13:51Anyway, Hollywood doesn't stop.
13:53and a few years later,
13:55he was offered the lead role in the film Speed.
13:58The story of a policeman
13:59who has to manage a bus rigged with a bomb
14:01which explodes if it passes underneath
14:0350 miles per hour,
14:05or 80 km per hour.
14:06And on the set,
14:07he will become friends with actress Sandra Bullock
14:10but above all, he will learn
14:12the death of his friend River Phoenix.
14:16He was found dead in front of the nightclub
14:19from an overdose of heroin and cocaine.
14:21By the way, for the record,
14:24This is his little brother Joaquin Phoenix
14:27that you surely know
14:28but barely 19 years old at the time
14:30who makes this call become
14:32infamous at 911.
14:34For Kenyu,
14:50who is just emerging from a complicated period
14:53with his sister,
14:54The news has the effect of a bomb.
14:56On the one hand, the atmosphere of the shoot
14:58with Sandra is great
14:59but on the other,
15:00he is living a nightmare.
15:01It's hard to live with
15:02but as usual,
15:04he will move forward
15:04and in 1994,
15:06when the film is released in theaters,
15:07It's a global hit
15:09which places Kenyu Reeves
15:10in the same category
15:12than Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson.
15:14He becomes,
15:15even though he is in full mourning
15:16of his best friend,
15:18one of the most popular actors
15:20of the United States.
15:21Yet,
15:21despite its success
15:22and therefore the money that comes with it,
15:24it remains discreet and simple.
15:26He always sleeps in the hotel
15:28or in apartments
15:29very sober that he praises
15:30and it still rolls
15:32with the same motorcycle.
15:34And in fact,
15:36his money,
15:37he doesn't use it at all.
15:38Finally,
15:38he uses it
15:38but to help his loved ones
15:40For example
15:40or to pay for care
15:41his sister's health
15:42but no more.
15:43He's just a guy
15:44silver armored
15:45but that doesn't change
15:47absolutely not.
15:48He doesn't have it at all
15:49changed his standard of living.
15:50And I find that crazy,
15:52I find it incredible in real life.
15:53Besides,
15:54he doesn't care at all
15:55to give a damn about money
15:56that he pays part of it
15:57to associations
15:58to fight cancer
15:59and eukemia
16:00and that when it is proposed to him
16:02to play in
16:03the devil's associate
16:04but let's explain to him
16:05that Al Pacino refuses
16:06because the stamp
16:07is too weak,
16:08he decides to reduce his
16:10to satisfy everyone.
16:12So yes,
16:12that too,
16:13we could say
16:14that it is a good strategy
16:15to make sure
16:15to play alongside
16:16of a figure
16:17such as Pacino
16:18but it shows
16:19once again
16:20that he is more attached
16:21at the cinema
16:22and performance
16:23than money
16:24and to fame.
16:26Once again,
16:26as with Speed,
16:27when the devil's advocate
16:28is released in theaters,
16:29it's a cardboard
16:30at the box office
16:31and even if the film
16:32is partly worn
16:34by Al Pacino
16:34and Charlize Theron,
16:36the public and the environment
16:37are obliged
16:38to recognize
16:38Ken Yu
16:39as part of
16:40great actors
16:41and no longer like
16:42the slightly stupid teenager
16:43that he embodied
16:44with Ted.
16:45And as he does not do
16:46never things
16:47like everyone else
16:48and that it is never
16:49where we expect it,
16:50he refuses
16:50to do the rest
16:51from Speed 2
16:52despite the colossal success
16:54from 1
16:54and a proposed stamp
16:56between 10 and 12 million
16:57of dollars.
16:58SO,
16:58some people think that
16:59it's partly
17:00because of the trauma
17:01linked to death
17:02of his friend River
17:03during filming
17:04of the 1st
17:04that he didn't want to
17:06to live again,
17:07but Ken Yu
17:08just explain to him
17:08that he found
17:10simply
17:10the ridiculous scenario
17:11because for him
17:13a bomb planted
17:13on a boat,
17:14a boat is fine
17:15much slower
17:17in quotation marks,
17:18in any case we have less
17:18this impression
17:19speed
17:20on the water
17:22and more
17:22on the sea
17:23it's much less
17:24dangerous
17:25in real life than in the city
17:26so he preferred
17:27refuse.
17:27And at the same time
17:28doesn't he have
17:28well done
17:29because the 2
17:29still has
17:30well flopped
17:31So there you go.
17:33Instead
17:33he will rather choose
17:34to go on tour
17:36with his rock band
17:37Dogstar
17:38for which
17:39he has been playing since
17:40several years
17:40and with whom
17:41he will be the first part
17:42by David Bowie
17:43and Bon Jovi.
17:45Just that
17:46because yes
17:47he plays music
17:48and I voluntarily
17:49avoided telling you about it
17:50so that you understand
17:51A little
17:52how much
17:53Ken Yu Reeves
17:54is an artist
17:55world famous
17:56which we ignore
17:57many things
17:59and who remains
18:00very discreet
18:01on his passions
18:01and about his personal life.
18:03It's a little
18:03the kind of guy
18:04who is
18:04as I already said
18:05still there
18:06where we don't expect it
18:07Besides
18:07he is so there
18:08where we don't expect it
18:09that between two concerts
18:10he plays Hamlet
18:12in Canada.
18:13This is this guy
18:13just has several lives
18:15I don't know
18:16how long
18:16last his days
18:17but here it is
18:18he does a whole lot
18:19of things
18:20at the same time.
18:23It's 1998
18:25he doesn't even have
18:27finished his tour
18:27that we offer him
18:28a new scenario
18:29that nobody wants
18:31a scenario
18:32called Matrix.
18:33Will Smith
18:35Nicolas Cage
18:36we also speak
18:37by Brad Pitt
18:37or even Johnny Depp
18:39everyone refuses
18:41either because they are
18:42on other projects
18:43either because they don't believe in it
18:45but Ken U
18:46who is a fan of him
18:47science fiction
18:48decides to fly away
18:49for Los Angeles
18:50upon receipt of the script
18:51story of meeting
18:52the directors
18:54the famous ones
18:54Wachowski
18:55and to see
18:56if they have the same
18:58vision of the thing
18:58than him.
18:59During the meeting
19:00It's love at first sight.
19:01everything pleases him
19:02of their artistic vision
19:04to the mix between cybernetics
19:05and Buddhism
19:06he who loves
19:07philosophy
19:07that plus the challenge
19:09to have to prepare
19:10physically in combat
19:11he immediately accepts
19:13and so
19:14he goes to train
19:15several months
19:16before filming
19:17with the master
19:18Yuan Wu Ping
19:19known to have
19:20notably helped
19:21Jackie Chan
19:22or Jet Li
19:23in their waterfall
19:24and to embody
19:25to the best of his ability
19:25one of the characters
19:27the most famous
19:27cinema
19:28still today.
19:29I speak of course
19:30by Thomas Anderson
19:32a.k.a. Neo
19:33Thomas Anderson?
19:35Yes, it's me.
19:37During filming
19:38everything is not going well
19:39going very well
19:41because in reality
19:42Ken Yu
19:42a year earlier
19:43had to undergo an operation
19:44cervical vertebrae
19:45because of pain
19:46which paralyzed him
19:47sometimes even
19:48the legs
19:49and his rehabilitation
19:50not being completely finished
19:52when he trains
19:53will force production
19:55and master
19:55Yuan Wu Ping
19:56adapted the movements
19:58combat
19:58because it happened to him
19:59Sometimes
20:00of not even being able
20:01to give
20:01even if it's just a simple one
20:03kick
20:03Yet
20:04he's not going to spare himself
20:05besides, he's going so well
20:06not to spare oneself
20:07that he will continue his tour
20:09alongside his training
20:10despite the pain
20:12and that's how it is
20:13than in 1998
20:14he meets a young woman
20:16named Jennifer Sim
20:18during a meeting
20:19organized with his group
20:20of music
20:21and they will fall in love
20:23from each other
20:23a meeting that you will see
20:24will drastically change his life
20:27but for the moment
20:28once his tour is over
20:30Kenyu has an appointment in Australia
20:32in the middle of 98
20:34for the filming of the movie
20:36on site
20:37what will mark
20:38the film crews
20:39it's its simplicity
20:40because unlike
20:41to other stars of his rank
20:43he lives in a small apartment
20:45in Sydney
20:45and even takes the subway
20:47to come to the filming locations
20:49like any ordinary citizen
20:52at any rate
20:52the following year
20:53when the movie comes out
20:54it's a cataclysm
20:56in the world of cinema
20:57the film does not resemble
20:58to no other
21:00special effects
21:01for the time
21:01are crazy
21:02some scenes
21:04and replicas
21:05immediately become cult
21:07none of this is real
21:08what is reality
21:09What is your definition of reality?
21:12Short
21:13This is unprecedented
21:15for Kenyu
21:15at that moment
21:16it's happiness
21:17first of all
21:18thanks to the success of the film
21:19which is exploding internationally
21:21and propels him to the rank of the most famous and powerful actors in Hollywood
21:25which makes him extremely happy from an artistic point of view
21:28and secondly because his sweetheart Jennifer is pregnant and he is looking forward to the arrival in his life of a little girl whom he both want to name Ava Archer.
21:38This is where things get tricky
21:42while this year 1999 is probably one of the craziest for Kenyu
21:46he has all the success, money and love
21:49December 24
21:51what was supposed to be the happiest day of his life
21:53turns into a nightmare
21:55Jennifer is forced to give birth to their daughter Ava Archer
21:58already dead in her womb
22:01In fact, what happened was that a few days before, the doctors realized that the little girl was no longer breathing.
22:10and so they forced his coming into the world
22:13so she was stillborn
22:14This news will obviously devastate them
22:16but it will also destroy their relationship
22:20who will not recover
22:22what actually happens sometimes in these kinds of cases
22:25It's like seeing the person you went through this tragedy with
22:30it can wake up the pain
22:33and separating was probably one of the best ways for them to try to come to terms with their loss.
22:39even if they will remain on good terms
22:41and that Kenyu Reeves will try to be as present as possible for Jennifer
22:45As a result, he, who was already very discreet, will become even more withdrawn into himself.
22:51and move away from the media despite the excitement around him still very present after the release of the film
22:56At that moment the contrast between his professional success and the drama he was experiencing in private was terrifying.
23:04and we can easily imagine how psychologically hellish it must be to live through
23:09on the one hand you can't properly celebrate your success
23:14and on the other hand you can't give up everything either
23:17and cry like anyone could
23:20In short, in 2000, it was completely over with Jennifer.
23:24even if he continues to support her
23:26he decides to focus solely on cinema
23:29with several films like The Replacement or The Watcher
23:33but especially with the Matrix sequel
23:35Matrix Reloaded which is in preparation
23:38we are entitled to say that it is a good thing
23:40he doesn't let himself get down and he moves forward
23:42and that's what he does, but barely more than a year after his daughter's death.
23:45and a few months after his separation from Jennifer
23:48while filming Jennifer Sim dies in a car accident on her way home from a party
23:54drunk on alcohol and antidepressants trying to forget the loss of his daughter
24:00she hits a tree at full speed and dies instantly
24:04So according to the experts she clearly didn't intend to commit suicide.
24:08but the mixture of substances while driving was fatal to him
24:12in the space of a few years
24:15Kenny Reeves loses his best friend
24:18his daughter and the woman he loved
24:20a bit as if life was determined to tear him away
24:23all that was most precious to him
24:25but despite everything he explains that fortunately at that moment
24:28he had work with the different films he was working on
24:31which served as an escape route for him
24:33finally when Matrix Reloaded came out in 2003
24:37reviews are mixed
24:38but what is unanimous in any case from the point of view of the cinema industry
24:43it's his generosity
24:44because he himself chooses to pay tens of millions of dollars to the film crews
24:50namely the stuntmen and those who take care of the FX to thank them for the work accomplished
24:56something that turns out to be extremely rare or even non-existent
24:59At this point for many Kenny Reeves is probably the most famous actor
25:03and discreet in the world but also the saddest
25:06it appears almost nowhere
25:08he's just there like everyone else
25:11while his head is plastered all over the cinemas on the planet
25:14and he becomes one of the highest paid actors in the world
25:17then in 2005 he moved away from the Matrix label with the film Constantine
25:22an adaptation of the Hellblazer comics
25:25which at the time received an average reception
25:27even if today it is much more appreciated
25:30then The Lake House
25:32a comedy in which he reunites with Sandra Bullock
25:34with whom he had had a crush 12 years earlier
25:37on the set of Speed
25:39a somewhat empty period follows
25:41even if he does the job
25:42but except through the screen
25:44no one hears about him
25:46once again he lives his life in his corner
25:49modest house
25:50modest lifestyle
25:51while trying to grieve
25:54and enjoy his loved ones
25:55result it is qualified by the media
25:57of the most melancholic actor
25:59and the most unfortunate
26:00what's not going to get better
26:02when in 2010 it will be seen
26:05eating a sandwich alone
26:07in a Manhattan park
26:08I don't know if you remember this photo
26:10but she will go around the world
26:13you have probably already come across him
26:15it will even become one of the memes
26:16the most famous on the internet
26:18the famous Sad Kenyu
26:20and true to himself
26:22Kenyu admits that it doesn't bother him.
26:25and on the contrary he finds it funny
26:27In fact, I think his reaction is great.
26:30yet another proof of its simplicity
26:32and this disarming kindness
26:35that it characterizes
26:36after that he spreads out a bit
26:38by mixing comedy
26:39documentary production
26:40and the production of a feature film
26:43Man of Tai Chi
26:44which will be a flop in the United States
26:45but which will be rather well received in Asia
26:48thanks to its respect for Asian traditions
26:50and choreographies
26:52which are very popular in these countries
26:54just like with the movie 47 Ronin
26:56in 2013
26:57who despite a colossal budget
26:59will be a failure in the US
27:01but a success in Asia
27:03so for many people
27:04at least in the United States
27:06Kenyu Reeves is no more
27:08the bankable actor that he was
27:10and some even think
27:11that his career is over
27:13It's 2014
27:17Kenyu Reeves is slowly gaining ground
27:20to rebuild
27:21and that's when
27:22than a former stuntman
27:23and Neo's stunt double in Matrix
27:25come see him
27:26with a rather basic scenario
27:28and a small budget
27:30It's the story of a hitman
27:32forced to return to service
27:34to avenge the death of his dog
27:35the last link with his wife
27:37that he lost
27:38in the original scenario
27:39called Scorn
27:40the character had to be
27:41a 60-year-old man
27:42but reading the script
27:44Kenyu sees a kind of resonance in this
27:47with its history
27:48which echoes a little
27:49to his own grief
27:50and will make him want it
27:51to take on the role
27:53he therefore sees the opportunity there
27:55to regain control
27:56he will therefore convince
27:57the producers
27:58to rewrite the character
27:59around him
28:00what they will agree to do
28:02and that's one of the reasons
28:03for which
28:04John Wick's personality
28:06looks as much like
28:07to that of Kenyu Reeves
28:09and once again
28:10as he does every time
28:11he will invest a lot of himself
28:13in physical preparation
28:14and the handling of weapons
28:16and once out
28:17the film is a hit
28:19fans love the character
28:21and they see
28:22all the melancholy
28:23and sadness
28:24of their favorite actor
28:25which will give Kenyu back
28:27a legitimacy
28:28in the cinema
28:29said action
28:30but also impose
28:31a kind of general empathy
28:34around him
28:35which will make it touching
28:37besides the film
28:38works so well
28:39than a sequel
28:39is already in preparation
28:41at that time
28:42as a result
28:43Kenyu has to juggle
28:44between workouts
28:46and filming
28:46for John Wick 2
28:47and some appearances
28:49in other short films
28:51more modest
28:52which show once again
28:53his will
28:54to test lots of things
28:56despite its fame
28:57and not to change
28:59he continues
29:00to distribute his money
29:01to charity
29:03there too
29:04when John Wick 2 comes out
29:05success is here
29:07which confirms
29:07his status as an actor
29:09Hollywood icon slash
29:11reborn
29:11besides the film
29:12works so well
29:13that at that time
29:14a third episode
29:15is already in preparation
29:17and once again
29:18during filming
29:20Kenyu learns
29:21the death of his father
29:22in 2018
29:23to believe that fate
29:25is determined to attack him
29:26except this time
29:28he welcomes the news
29:30like a banality
29:31which can be understood
29:32since it was abandoned
29:34by this father
29:35at the age of 3
29:36and that he had not seen him again
29:37that once
29:38when he was 13 years old
29:39so here it is
29:40he will explain
29:41bulk
29:42that this abandonment
29:43probably forged it
29:45but that he never has
29:46tried to fix that
29:48so when he learns it
29:50he just processed the information
29:52and he did not do
29:53no comments on it
29:54to come back
29:55to his career
29:55John Wick 3
29:56called John Wick Parabellum
29:58which comes out in 2019
29:59will explode everything
30:01with more than 325 million
30:03dollars in revenue
30:04the machine is launched
30:06and Kenyu Reeves
30:07becomes cult
30:09in spite of himself
30:09he is even invited
30:11to embody
30:11a major character
30:13and iconic
30:13called Johnny Silverhand
30:15in the game
30:15Cyberpunk 2077
30:17which will earn him
30:20to be welcomed
30:21like a king
30:21by fans
30:22at E3
30:23the largest living room
30:24of video games in the world
30:25with this famous line
30:27he wins once again
30:44the heart of the public
30:45result
30:46we also offer him
30:47to dub a character
30:48stuntman
30:49in Toy Story 4
30:50in short, only cool stuff
30:57and in fact that's a treat
30:59because I find
31:00that with everything he has been through
31:02and the work he did
31:04I think it's deserved
31:05In fact
31:06I think that's it
31:06It's good
31:07we can leave him alone
31:09he's been through enough drama
31:11I have the impression
31:12Besides
31:12he also deserves
31:13to find love again
31:14and it's done
31:16when he meets
31:17Alexandra Grant
31:18an American painter
31:19with whom he collaborated
31:20in 2009
31:21for a collection of poems
31:23which he himself wrote
31:24professional meeting
31:25who ten years later
31:27transforms happily
31:29in a romantic relationship
31:31in 2021
31:33Matrix Resurrection spell
31:3523 years after the first
31:37he reprises his role as Neo
31:39but the critics
31:40once again
31:41are mixed
31:42not so much about him
31:43but rather concerning
31:45the film
31:46then in 2021
31:47always
31:47he launches a project
31:48Kickstarter
31:49for a comic strip
31:50called Berserk
31:52which he co-wrote
31:53and of which he is
31:54the visual model
31:55this is the story
31:56of an immortal warrior
31:58half man half god
31:59which crosses the ages
32:00and who tired
32:01to go through wars
32:02and violence
32:03of human history
32:04looking for a way
32:05to put an end to
32:06to his immortality
32:07the project will be a hit
32:09and harvest
32:10almost a million
32:11and a half dollars
32:12while the objective
32:13basic was
32:14of 50,000 dollars
32:15and it's more
32:16of 600,000 copies
32:18which will be sold
32:19for the first issue
32:20and to top it all off
32:22Netflix is preparing
32:23an adaptation
32:24with Kenny Reeves
32:25himself
32:26in the lead role
32:27since 2023
32:28a fourth episode
32:29of John Wick
32:30was born
32:31breaking all records
32:32once again
32:33and a fifth
32:34has just been announced
32:35so in short
32:36at almost 60 years old
32:38he seems to appreciate it
32:39this role
32:39more than others
32:40probably
32:41because he put it there
32:42much more
32:43of his personal history
32:44inside
32:45and in parallel
32:46he continues to play
32:47right to left
32:48and try
32:49new things
32:50even if a Constantine 2
32:52would also be
32:53in preparation
32:54which clearly demonstrates
32:56that Kenny Reeves
32:57is above all
32:58a jack of all trades
32:59but above all
32:59that he plays the roles
33:00that he loves
33:01before asking yourself
33:02if it will be successful
33:04Today
33:04he became
33:05or become again
33:06for some
33:07a unique figure
33:08Hollywood cinema
33:10even if he always remains
33:11very far from life
33:13of a star we all know
33:14and that he prefers
33:15to focus
33:16on well-being
33:17of his relatives
33:18and remain discreet
33:19finally in fact
33:20Kenny Reeves
33:21this is the story
33:21of a little boy
33:22born in Beirut
33:23that nothing destines
33:25to end up on the screens
33:26from all over the world
33:27but who
33:27despite the difficulties
33:29absent father
33:30academic failure
33:31loss of a child
33:32and his wife
33:32as well as his best friend
33:34and his father
33:35will succeed in keeping
33:36feet on the ground
33:37by not doing
33:38than what he likes
33:39movie theater
33:40comic strip
33:41video games
33:42theater
33:43he stayed
33:44timeless
33:45and generous
33:46as much professionally
33:47than in his personal life
33:49and even
33:49if it is much more discreet
33:51in general
33:52that some actors
33:53and some stars
33:53I find it remains
33:54unforgettable
33:55and each of his appearances
33:57is tinted
33:58of a feeling
33:58of nostalgia
34:00and renewal
34:01in a personal capacity
34:03I sincerely find
34:05that he is an actor
34:05AVERAGE
34:06but so comforting
34:08and which exudes sincerity
34:09that it does for me
34:11one of the actors
34:12the most pleasant
