Being part of the celebrity lifestyle often means adopting a ‘nice’ persona that the public would like and admire. And celebrities often do so, living a double life in their private and public spheres. However, the same cannot be said for all public figures and it is certainly not true for Keanu Reeves. One of Hollywood’s most gracious and kind-hearted actors, Reeves is famous for his calm demeanor and gentlemanly manners.
However, being nice and gentle never means that one never gets angry. Even Hollywood’s generous star Reeves has had his moments where he lost his temper, revealing a side of him that few have ever seen.

Apart from entertaining viewers with his jaw-dropping action scenes and genius acting talent, Reeves is famous across the worldfor his kind and humble nature. One of the most down-to-earth human beings in showbiz and possibly in the whole wide world, Reeves is one of the few celebrities who is rarely seen losing his temper in public.
However, even the nicest and kindest of souls have their breaking point and Reeves is no different. While there are only a handful of moments where the actor seems to have lost his cool, one in particular stands out. Back in 2007, theMatrixstar was seen having dinner in Los Angeles’ Sunset Boulevard.

While returning to his car, Reeves was brutally chased by paparazzi trying to take pictures of him with flashes hitting his face every second. In the footage byHollywood.TV, he can be seen calm and composed at first but soon he could not help but shout as the reporters kept harassing him, running ahead of him to take a perfect shot.
Run! Run for your lives. This is your job, think about your job!
Shouted theJohn Wickstar as the paparazzi kept sticking their cameras right to his face. Such was the intrusion that Reeves even cursed at one reporter after he exclaimed that the actor was being harsh to them. One of the rare footage of Reeves losing his patience in public, the actor’s fans in the comments exclaimed how he was right to speak the way he did.
When a Paparazzo Sued Keanu Reeves For His Injuries
While being constantly harassed and followed by the paparazzi is part and parcel of the celebrity life, getting sued for absurd things is also one of the many cons of celebrity life. Back in 2007, Keanu Reeves caught himself embroiled in a civil lawsuit when a paparazzo named Alison Silva sued the actor for causing him injuries.
As per Silva’s account, Reeves had struck him with his Porsche, leaving him with an injured wrist. The reporter then reportedly filed a civil lawsuit, claiming $711,974 in damages which included his medical expenses, lost wages, and other punitive damages.

Fortunately for theMatrixstar, there was sufficient evidence that found the actor not guilty of any charges, and a panel of 12 jurors rejected the case, ruling in favor of Reeves (viaThe Hollywood Reporter). Not only does this instance show what celebrities have to go through on a day-to-day basis, but also is a stark reminder of the cruel world we live in.
Despite the now-forgotten lawsuit and the challenging side of being a public figure, Keanu Reeves’ ability to navigate through these demanding moments while upholding his reputation as a kind-hearted individual further solidifies his admirable character.
