Misplaced Pages

Is he an American citizen? He was born in Lebanon and grew up in Canada. Zoe - no he`s Canadian

Now it says "British-American." Considering his multi-national parents, his birth in Lebanon and his Canadian citizenship, I'm not sure that's accurate at all. --Feitclub 22:21, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

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? --LostLeviathan 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.

I have deleted two references to two movies which seem to exist only in the Misplaced Pages. The movies are "Beards" and "The Mill of Gunther Pardwick". Regulus 05:18, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)

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. Moncrief 11:49, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC)

Hawaiian name

Astanhope removes the meaning of his Hawaiian name, then 65.19.30.2 puts their own interpretation in. Strange. Should the name be there or not?Adam Marx Squared 00:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad that portion of the name was taken out, which was ridiculous. Although "ke anu" literally means "the coolness", the interpretation used for his own name seems to have been started by himself and it should just be as he interpreted it.

I'm not sure where the interpretation of the "deeper" meaning of his name comes from. There is no "deeper meaning" in our Hawaiian language. Seems like a westerner is trying to impose their philosophies onto our culture. In any case, it just means "the coolness", but if he interprets it "over the mountain", then so be it. His father named Keanu after his uncle Henry Keanu Reeves. Maybe Henry's full name was something like Keanuikamauna or Keanuikekuahiwi which would be coolness over the mountains. Or, Keanu's name is actually longer and he just doesn't use the rest of it.

Keanu's ancestry

Samuel Reeves, the father of Keanu was not just Hawaiian and Chinese. Ironic that they'd list a general racial category of Asian-American since Hawai'i is currently under belligerent U.S. occupation. In any case, Charles Reeves was from Tennessee and was of English and Irish descent. He married Rose L. Miguel whose father was Portuguese and whose mother was 'Oiwi (aboriginal Hawaiian). They had 9 children. One of them was Keanu Reeves' grandfather. The Chinese ancestry comes from Keanu's paternal grandmother. But whether she was part Chinese or not, it is not known. -- 24.205.39.138 (sig added by cburnett)

"Hawai'i is currently under belligerent U.S. occupation"....can't say I've ever heard anyone say that one before. Cburnett July 4, 2005 06:57 (UTC)
