Actor Keanu Reeves, who plays the protagonist in the new film The Matrix, has decided to donate 70 percent of his income from the film to research on leukemia. This is an unusual and unusual step in the Hollywood landscape, through which Reeves establishes his status as one of the nicest actors in the swamp
Keanu Reeves recently came out with surprising, exciting and touching news when he said he had decided to donate 70 percent of his earnings from the new “Matrix” film that was recently released to the world for the treatment of leukemia. According to reports, the actor’s salary has been severely cut, in order to allow the rest of the cast members a higher budget.
Still, Reeves decided to donate a significant portion of his gateway to research into the reality of leukemia treatment. If you’re wondering where this dramatic and surprising move came from, we’ll tell you that somewhere in 1991 the actor’s sister was diagnosed with leukemia, and struggled with it for ten years.
In those years, Keanu was with his sister, cared for and helped her, and even sold his house and bought a new one, in order to be closer to her. The same struggle with the disease, also led to the rejection of the sequel to “The Matrix” which, as mentioned, came many years after the release of the last film.
And if all that is not enough, in recent years he has set up a non-profit charity, which is designed to support cancer patients. This seems to be an ongoing trend on the part of Reeves, who even after the filming of the first “The Matrix” movie, chose to give some crew members from the movie a luxury Harley-Davidson movie as a gift.
