His level of generosity is astounding

The highly successful Matrix Trilogy grossed nearly $1.2 billion, meaning Keanu obviously walked away with quite the paycheck. How did he spend it? He returned nearly $75 million to the SFX artists and costume designers. He also bought brand new motorcycles for his entire stunt team.

His altruism on the set of The Matrix didn’t stop there, however. According to a MoviePilot article: “A family friend builds movie sets, doesn’t design, is one of the poor dudes that just builds. Anyways he worked on the set for the Matrix and Keanu heard about family trouble he was having and gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus to help him out. He also was one of the only people on the set that genuinely wanted to know people’s names, would say hello and mean it, and would talk to people as they were his peers and not below him just because they were practically making nothing to build a set. I’ve never heard anyone say Keanu is douche, seems like the nicest person in Hollywood from second-hand experience.”
