While many have found great amusement in posting candid pictures of the Matrix star doing everything from eating a sandwich to giving up his subway spot to someone else, Reeves is perfectly content with being the internet's top man.

The 58-year-old is loved in real life as well, as evidenced by the recent engagement of a fan in the audience of an exclusive preview of his newest movie.

Standing ovations from the audience greeted Reeves and director Chad Stahelsk as they entered the platform for a special Q&A at the 2023 South By Southwest (SXSW) film festival, according to Variety.

The action star replied: “Yeah, be careful what you wish for."
