:: When did his family move to Canada? The article currently says that he was born in Lebanon, but doesn't describe the circumstances. Were his parents Canadian residents who were simply on vacation in Lebanon, or did he spend the first years of his life there? --] 21:28, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

saying that he is haunted by his role in Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure seems to hold a stance against the position that the reason no one gives him any credit as a serious film actor is because he's no good.


Under "Personal life" was stated, "On April 2, 2001, Syme was killed when her vehicle collided with three parked cars on Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles. Syme was impaired, and also not belted in." I changed "was" to "had been" to clarify the chronology. When I first read it, I said to myself, yes, being killed impairs a person. I also changed "impaired" to "under the influence," because the latter term is clearer. But there is a bigger problem here, which I am not going to attempt to fix.

His private life should not be mentioned in an encyclopedia. - I meant the last sentence I deleted - encyclopedias should contain facts not gossip

:I'm not sure who wrote the above, when, or what it's specifically in reference to, but it's an absurd statement. Articles about people in Misplaced Pages (and other encyclopedias) are full of details and information about "private lives": wives, husbands, children, drinking problems, etc etc etc. I assume "private life" here is code for someone having said he was bisexual or gay. If so, why not just speak honestly without using silly code words. ] 11:49, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC)

== Hawaiian name ==

] removes the meaning of his Hawaiian name, then ] puts their own interpretation in. Strange. Should the name be there or not?

Hardball

Let’s not leave off that Keanu Reeves stared in Hardball, based around Chicago’s Cabrini Green Projects. 209.242.39.26 (talk) 01:49, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Impaired?

I changed "was" to "had been" to clarify the chronology. When I first read it, I said to myself, yes, being killed impairs a person.

Jennifer Syme, in the section on her death, uses the word "intoxicated," but its source, which is different from the two in Keanu Reeves, also does not support that claim. The source mentions a lawsuit brought against someone who allegedly gave Syme drugs that led to her car crash. Maurice Magnus (talk) 00:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
