Listen up, dudes. He may be worth a mighty Sh35.2billion and star in a bodacious movie sequel that’s just been released. But fame, money and glory are not what it’s all about for Keanu Reeves, truly one of Hollywood’s good guys. The man who plays airhead guitar fan Ted “Theodore” Logan in the latest incarnation of Bill & Ted does not need material things to be happy. In his own quiet, unassuming way, he has looked out for others through the years, gaining a reputation as one of the most charitable, caring and kind stars in Tinseltown.

So as Bill & Ted Face the Music hits movie screens – with all the favourite ­catchphrases, including “excellent”, “whoa”, “party on dudes” and “bogus” – Keanu may get the plaudits, but it will be countless others who continue to benefit from the altruistic star. There’s his charity foundation which helps sick kids and cancer sufferers. Not to mention the times he took salary cuts so other actors would be paid more – even gifting stuntmen with a Harley-Davidson each. Many put his generosity down to the struggles he’s overcome.
