Keanu Reeves

While he is immortal, Keanu Reeves and his nerdy ways have made him a public heartthrob for years. What is endearing about Keanu is he has a passion for martial arts. Known for his action roles in The Matrix and John Wick, Keanu clearly loves martial arts and the history behind the form.

When he met his hero, it showed how much he was moved by martial arts and how, at the end of the day, he’s just a nerd for Sonny Chiba and his work. Then again, that’d be a pretty unreal experience for Sonny Chiba too because who wouldn’t want Keanu Reeves to be a fan of theirs?

Keanu uses his love of martial arts to influence his work and takes it seriously and while it isn’t typically nerdy, it does show his dedication to the form and that is what makes him one of the nerdiest and one of the greatest.

He aims for his work to be authentic, and to see how passionate he is over martial arts and the way he connects that back to his films makes us admire him more.
