Keanu Reeves has long proven himself as much of a hero off-screen as his character’s often are on-screen.
Not content with having established a reputation as one of the true ‘good guys’ of Hollywood, it would appear the actor is determined to continue one-upping himself when it comes to charitable and unselfish behaviour.
As per reports, Reeves was on a United flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Saturday when the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Bakersfield, California …
Instead of attempting to use his star power to solve the situation for himself, or kicking up a fuss since his plans had been derailed, Reeves quickly showed his true character during the last 100 miles of the journey.
Instagram user Brian Rea and a few other passengers were able to document Reeves’ actions during the whole thing, and it paints “The Matrix” star in the light he truly deserves.

Rea’s Insta story followed Reeves all the way from the star getting onto the plane, to the moment they announced the diversion, and even sitting in the replacement bus that took people the extra 100 miles from Bakersfield to Los Angeles.
Rea’s Instagram story finished with Reeves walking into a Carl’s Jr. captioned with: “It’s been a long day for all of us.”

According to USA Today, citing a SkyWest representative, the flight had been diverted due to a “mechanical indication”, but landed safely and without incident.
In any case, it’s great to see Keanu Reeves keeping up his amazing attitude. Money and fame he may have, but he’s never let that change him into anything other than a nice, genuine human being.
