Over the last 30 years, Keanu Reeves has cemented his place in Hollywood as he's charmed the world with both his good looks and humor. The actor quickly rose to fame in the '80s and '90s after his iconic roles starring in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Point Break (1991), and The Matrix franchise. He received a resurgence of popularity over the summer of 2019, being referred to as the "Internet's Boyfriend" (which he found to be "wacky") following his appearances in John Wick 3, Always Be My Maybe, and Toy Story 4.

Outside his acting credentials, Reeves is known to be a giant sweetheart, earning a tremendous amount of adoration for his thoughtful actions such as buying an ice cream just to sign an autograph on the receipt for a fan or taking a surprise road trip with stranded passengers after their plane made an emergency stop.

To celebrate his 59th birthday, join L'OFFICIEL in admiring some of his best throwback moments.
