Keanu Reeves Caught in Drive-by Shooting Drama

[Champ]

HOLLYWOOD star Keanu Reeves put his action hero training to good use when he was caught in a drive-by shooting.

The 39-year-old is used to playing heroic roles in films like The Matrix and Speed.

And Reeves reacted like he was starring in an action movie when gunfire ripped through a Los Angeles neighbourhood as he did his shopping.

The actor stayed calm as windows shattered and people screamed in terror inside the supermarket, according to a US tabloid.

And Reeves reacted like it was a real-life version of one of his films as he hit the ground, yelling at panicked customers: 'Get down.'

2. Believe it or not...

Keanu isn't as 'cool' as you might think. My brother is an actor, not a star, mind you, just an actor. He worked with Keanu before and told me that he is really quite nerdy. After every scene he shot, he would walk around whining about it and mumbling to himself that he could have done it better. Until then I always pictured him as being some really cool surfer dude. It cracks me up to think that he is so hard on himself. :) I bet he was scared to death.

4. I'm sure that you are right; it is his usual cinema persona that...

I was referring to, like that character from Speed, Pointbreak(?), and there is another one in which he does the 'surfer dude' type of character. I have heard from other sources as well that he is actually fairly nerdy. That's a good thing for us nerds!:evilgrin:
