Keanu Reeves is inarguably among the most loved actors around the world. The Matrix star has won over fans with his performances, persona, demeanor, and many other reasons.
Reeves has also claimed popularity on social media with his viral pictures and quotes. One such quote recently surfaced, amassing attention on Facebook. The viral FB post claimed to feature a statement from the John Wick star. The unverified quote reads,
Trending
“There will come a moment when you finally decide you’re done; done with toxic people, draining relationships, and situations that make you question your worth. It won’t be loud or dramatic; you won’t need to explain yourself or seek approval. You’ll simply walk away, knowing deep in your heart that you deserve better.”
According to Snopes, a fact-checking website, the quote is incorrectly attributed to Keanu Reeves. No verified sources confirm whether the Little Buddha actor ever talked about “toxic people, draining relationships and situations.”
It is not the first time an anonymous account has attributed a quote to Keanu Reeves. The post with the false attribution received over 23K reactions from the users and over 1.3K comments.
False quotes have been attributed to Keanu Reeves time and again
Due to the down-to-earth image and humble attitude, the Speed actor has been falsely attributed by different users on multiple occasions. Like other popular celebrities and personalities, anonymous accounts often use a photo of Keanu Reeves and add a quote, making it appear like his statement.
A quote that has been making rounds on the internet for the last few years is as follows,
“I'm at that stage in life where I stay out of discussions. Even if you say 1+1=5, you're right, have fun.”
The statement resurfaces after a few months, with many posting it as a quote from the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey actor. Like the previous quote, “I stay out of discussions,” also inaccurately quotes Reeves, as Snopes found.
Here are some of the other popular inspirational statements compiled by @UndercoverMiner (on X) that incorrectly attributed to the Bram Stoker's Dracula star,
“I dream of a day where I walk down the street and hear people talk about Morality, Sustainability and Philosophy instead of the Kardashians.”
“Your degree is just a piece of paper, your education is seen in your behavior.”
“People will provoke you until they bring out your ugly side, then play victim when you go there.”
“When people say they can't see anything good in you. Hug them and say life is difficult for the blind.”
Apart from the false quotes, AI-generated videos have also started appearing on the internet. Such short clips feature Reeves expressing motivational thoughts. Thus, readers must remain wary of any fake statements that have seemingly been posted to generate impressions on social media.
Despite the fabricated narratives surrounding his misattributed quotes, Reeves has continued to avoid addressing them. He is busy with his upcoming projects, such as Ballerina (a John Wick spin-off), Good Fortune, Outcome, and The Entertainment System Is Down. Recently, Keanu Reeves has done voice roles in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Secret Level, and Severance.
