‘He respected their bodily autonomy’: Internet Hails Keanu Reeves as a ‘Champion of Consent’ For Refusing To Touch Women Whether They Are His Fans or Co-Stars
We all know Keanu Reeves is downright the most humble person in Hollywood. Irrespective of his global fame and million-dollar fortune, the actor never fails to impress his fans with his unique nature. The Constantine actor has set several examples of being the quintessential nice guy when it comes to etiquette and general habit. Being the gentleman he is, Keanu Reeves is hailed by his fans for his ‘no touching‘ policy.
In a world where women are constantly fighting to establish the meaning of consent, Keanu Reeves seems to be one of the few people to understand its significance. The actor is currently trending and being praised by fans for his true class and respectful nature towards women.
Keanu Reeves’ Manners Are Examples Of Class
Keanu Reeves has been giving examples and setting the bar high with his ultimate gentlemanly nature. Despite his immense fame and fortune, the actor prefers keeping his profile lowkey. The Canadian actor is worthy of applause for being an example of true class and also for his respectful nature. Despite being a simple man, Reeves’ high-class values are evident in his behavior.
The Point Break actor mentioned how he kept the tradition of street hockey alive even after reaching fame and success. He said,
“When I first moved there, when I was 20 years old, it was such a new world and so I saw some guys…they were playing street hockey, so I asked them if I could play,”
Ever since then, the 58-year-old actor became a part of that tradition of “street hockey game that took place every weekend for over 10 years”. This sets an example of his humble and down-to-earth nature.
Further, the king of manners is known for his generosity towards not just co-workers, but even complete strangers. There was a time when Reeves trended on social media for a Redditor recalled an incident where the actor helped a stranger during her difficult time. But what makes him even more unique is his respect for women in general.
Keanu Reeves Never Fails To Impress
Keanu Reeves has always been fans’ favorite, and rarely ever is he seen being slammed by haters. There have been several occasions where the actor made time for his fans to impress them with simple acknowledgment. Through the years, fans have kept the social media archive active with their photos alongside Keanu Reeves.
Coming to his unique way of being respectful towards women rose when netizens pointed out the actor’s ‘no touching’ policy. It was noticed by people, over time, how the Speed actor never touches his fans and coworkers without consent, out of respect for “their bodily autonomy”. The respectful gesture of the John Wick actor was appreciated by fans. Pointing out the matter of consent, fans took to Twitter to praise the actor for his mannerisms.
Just a thought… perhaps Keanu recognized that not one of these women gave him their consent to touch him and I don’t know, he respected their bodily autonomy. Keanu showing everyone how to be respectful might be a potential takeaway as well. This is just a thought though.

Other people wrote, how they have been indifferent towards Reeves all this while, but somehow his class is unavoidable. The actor is now being hailed as a consent idol.
So I didn’t really care for Keanu Reeves but then I saw a bunch of pictures of him with women and he has his arm around them but isn’t actually touching them and keeps his hands off their waists and now he’s my baby
