It’s been a big year for Keanu Reeves.

He starred in the third John Wick film, parodied himself in the rom-com Always Be My Maybe, and voiced Canadian stuntman Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4.

Despite the fact that he has virtually no social media presence, he has also become the ultimate meme fodder, been hailed “the respectful king” for keeping his distance from women while posing for pictures, and lovingly dubbed the avatar for all things average.

His latest good deed to go viral involves showing a little gratitude for all the support he gets from his fans in Slidell, Louisiana.

Here’s CNN:

Stacey Hunt had heard that Reeves was filming the third installment in the “Bill and Ted” franchise just up the street from her home. Her 16-year-old son, Ethan, suggested the family welcome him to the neighborhood with a poster, she told CNN.

So at her son’s request, Hunt created a sign that read, “You’re breathtaking!” — a reference to Reeves’ appearance at the E3 gaming conference in June, where he told everyone in attendance they, too, were breathtaking. The moment became a popular meme.

You can see that ‘breathtaking’ moment here.

A few hours after the family planted the sign in their front yard a car pulled up and out popped Keanu, pen in hand.

That’s when Hunt, watching from her driveway, said she spotted Reeves.

She said she approached him in disbelief, and he asked whether he could sign her poster. Unsurprisingly, she said yes.

“Bill and Ted” screenwriter Ed Solomon captured the scene: Reeves, crouched in the sweltering Louisiana sun, signed “Stacey, you’re breathtaking!” in exquisite penmanship.

He then posed for a photo with Hunt and her sons, which you can see above.

Not even a filming schedule stopped the internet’s boyfriend — the term given to Reeves by the media because of his mysterious, thoughtful demeanor and proclivity for random acts of kindness, such giving up his seat on the subway or taking the time to stop and sign a ”breathtaking” poster.

Bless.

Good on you, Keanu.
