The action film star loves riding motorcycles so much he co-founded Arch Motorcycle Company, which designs and custom-builds high-end models. Tracy Smith reports on Keanu Reeves' road to success, and how he's enjoying the ride.
This was a wonderful interview. Keanu is a passion for motorcycles is great. It's a pleasure to watch him drive. Such a special person, worthy of great respect. Angel on earth. 💖
He's a really unique guy, really weird in the way he articulates things and reacts to people's statements towards. him. I always find those traits super likeable, he seems like a great guy.
Keanu Reeves is the nice guy. Very generous and wants to help people secretly. He doesn’t brag the good things he did for people, that what makes Keanu Reeves a really good person. We need more people like him in this world. God bless you, Mr. Reeves...
Ed Dizon: completely agree. So many celebrities always shows off their so called good deeds. We need more ppl like Keannu: humble and just overall good guy.
4:22 is my favorite moment, he starts describing the bike and he just can't contain himself. "And... Darn (Slaps Seat) she's B-E-A-U-TIFUL.... and then its the you know, the ride!"
Keanu's daughter's name was Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, maybe the Arch in Arch Motorcycle Company is in memory of her daughter and if that child is alive probably she is teenager now, and maybe she is as charming as her dad, he really want to be a father, we love you idol.
Would love to ride one of these. They look amazing and that sound!!!! Great job. Nice to see new manufacturers making bikes simply because they love them :)
I always liked him, first because he is beautiful, but it is so great that he is a good person. That`s a personal choice. That says a lot about him. I`m sorry for the grief in his life. He`s right, it`s something you carry the rest of your life.
I used to be scared of these things but he's convinced me, I wanna ride. I also love his response to the questions about being a nice guy. He's considerate and generous but he does it because he wants too and obviously not for any kind of public kudos or social pats on the back. Isn't that what being good is supposed to be; to just do it for the sake of doing it and not for personal gain? 👍🏻
Oh my god, you're gonna love it. I've been riding a motorcycle for 10 years, and it's amazing. I rode to work today and I live in Minnesota. Cold? Sure. But I got to ride a motorcycle into work today. So totally worth it. And yes, you're totally right. Good deeds should be done because they're the right thing to do, and that seems to be exactly the kind of guy that Keanu is.
Man...this is the first interview I have ever seen of Reeves. Was he high or something? His totally cool and does absolutely not fill in the cliche of the typical Hollywood superstar who boast himself up like a jumbo jet.
it kind of reminded me of the ducati monster. either way this this a beautiful bike. and usually it's only Harley's that look like the old looking bikes. hate that shit to be honest. i like this style of cruisers way more.
I'm 23 and don't care for the look of most modern motorcycles. Maybe except the "Indian" manufacturer that keeps it stylin'. I really like the look of 50s-70s bikes
Keanu is reaaaally chill.. Until he finds, rides, critiques or merely talks about motorcycles, he would just slip out of his cool aura and its awesome to see!
I love how this interview focus is so specific; it allows Keanu to go off about things he really loves (bikes and Shakespeare and stunts) and isn't just some morning show celeb gossip reporter going gaga over him. (To be fair, it's hard NOT to. He's the total package!)
He's from Canada and I doubt he cares for American history or politics, but his personality should inspire many to give life a go even when everytime horrible things happen. Keanu lost his pregnant wife in a car accident and lost his sister to Leukemia. He's alot like Kakashi actually... Kakashi became the 6th Hokage. Yeah maybe actually Obama got elected by fools and he wasn't even from America. Fact
I think to the point about the risk in building a bike backed by a celebrity being a "vanity" purchase - I think people are actually drawn to the bike because it IS backed by Keanu - people like Keanu and thus he gives it a positive brand image. Only a very limited number of unique and special celebrities could pull that off, IMHO.
I am a fan and will be forever a fan of Keanu Reeves, cool guy, humble and good looking, he simply lightens my day, that is why I keep myself updated about his daily life, thank you idol for keeping us inspired, and by the way I've watched John Wick 3 times already I bought a dvd of your movie. Thank you again, I hope Cebu, Philippines is one of your destination sometime.
In the early to mid 1990s, when I was in college, I saw the Bill and Ted movies, Speed and Point Break, and NEVER thought anything of Keanu Reeves. Those were the only movies I'd seen of his, and he actually annoyed me! I didn't find him particularly attractive, interesting or intelligent. THEN, in 2015, I saw the original airing of this Sunday Morning interview, and I was dumbfounded! I found him to be so gorgeous in every way, interesting, passionate, thoughtful and so smart! I have enjoyed catching up on his movies and learning a little about him via interviews, etc. Not sure what I was thinking in the 90s, but so glad I saw this interview! What a darling and charming man! Those eyes, that smile, that hair, that voice...sigh...
Where have you been?...LOL I started becoming a huge fan of his when I saw him in "Little Buddha" in the theater. I recognized him from Bill & Ted but was impressed that he was taking chances and trying other roles, characters, even if critics were harsh on him. I started reading interviews with him and seeing TV interviews with him back then and that sealed the deal for me. I could tell that although he was usually shy and sometimes uncomfortable in them, he was a nice guy, a sweet guy. He is also known for his good manners towards women, the type to hold the door open for you. True story...before actress Octavia Spencer was famous, she was driving in LA and got a flat tire and was stranded. NOBODY would stop to help her despite lots of cars and people nearby. Wanna guess who stopped and asked her if she needed help? Yep, it was Keanu, he was riding his motorcycle at the time, stopped and changed her tire for her. Octavia said that since that day she has always gone to see his movies on opening weekend to support him. There's also video of Keanu giving his seat to a woman on the subway, he does stuff like that all the time. He's a gentleman. :)
Marcy A-K i first saw him in speed in 1994 and fell completely and hopelessly in love...from then on any chance i get to see his movies...and thanks to youtube..his interviews as well...above all else, his movies, his looks, that superstar exposure...his seeming humility is perhaps the most appealing to me
I believe everyone ages. I can see the difference just by the confidence in his voice. Aging is made out to be this terrible process we must all go through. I'm very happy that I'm not that ridiculous 25-30 year old woman. I would love to talk to Mr. Reeves at the age I am now. I don't giggle, have to take pictures, or lie about myself to please someone. I don't tolerate lies. As my grandfather would say, "Don't schmooze people cause the truth always comes out". So be yourself. If someone doesn't like you for you, move on (if it's worth it, lay it out there).
***** :) you're right, i also love that feeling, but is quite difficult to find a good boyfriend with the same taste! But.. i do love riding on the back, i love riding doesn't matter which one is driving! My latest boyfriend gave me exactly that feeling that you express, it's something that i will never forget... i miss that...
+Little Bear Wow. What an amazing post. What an incredible description. You must be quite the woman. I couldn't bribe my last girlfriend to ride on my motorcycle. LOL. She's gone too!
You have to get a license, your own bike and go for a ride! Although I see your point. $160,000 for two bikes might be a little out of most people's budget.
I only own one movie with him in it and I love it. He seems so grounded, genuine and solid. All of that and being a great actor, person and guy and still the man has aged so well. I want to know his secret and meet his twin brother. ;)
Every time I see a film or review about Keanu, he ALWAYS comes out in a more positive light than I thought of him before. Total respect to you Mr Reeves, I commend your humanity dude.
Seeing these bikes and the dedication it's takes to make them is one of the reasons why I'm in Vatterott Powersports for Motorcycles. I pray I will be in this level of being a technician in this field. 3 months to go, graduation, baby!!
I love how you talk about motorcycles,like im talking about it😊im grazy about motors the smell,the way they feel,and not to forget the sound...3 and half year a bike again,so im complete again,so i feel🙃2003 or 4 wass the last time i had my own bike...long sad story..so about 20 years i didnt have one😢 fortunatly around 2020..i had a bike again...so happy😅😅😅 first i had a kawasaki 650..now since 1 year i have this baby ... kawasaki vulcan 800...❤
Changing lives must be a great feeling it is great to be part of that in this world 🌎 and it's so awesome to be Keanu or next to him just to be close to Keanu ♡ ♡ ♡ ty love love you, Keanu 💕
Mr. Reeves is undeniably a legend in the acting world... When it comes to bikes he is sincere. A true passion. He reminds me of Jay Leno but yet more subtle and just a really cool guy passionate about bikes. #Respect
When your feeling the vibe qbout something amazing a new adventure like arch.. and your beautiful ride and its good for the soul.. All in is exactly how it should be.. Love to hear you stories. Great story .. The lady interviewing you she looks nice. Thanks for sharing
What a great and humble guy he is. I never really thought of him that much, you know just another run-of-the-mill Hollywood actor and all that. I mean, I liked his movies but wasn't interested in much more than that. But now that I watched this video I think he's nothing like the others. I think he's cool. :)
Bill & Ted Franchise, Point Break, Speed, Johnny Mnemonic, Chain Reaction, The Matrix Franchise This man is awesome God Bless You Keanu Reeves You Da Man
i watch almost all his interview.. and yesss he's really a humble guy... the way he react for all blessing statement to him was so sexy... he always try to change the topic, dont want to expose all his kindness.. really humble... really inspiring actor.. favourite💝💗💚
Keanu is a really good guy you can tell and that fact that he rides motorcycles and plays hockey is awsome!! looks like the ARCH bikes come with BST wheels. if I had the money I'd buy one there badass bikes.
