Keanu Reeves
He is perhaps best known for his role as Neo in the action film trilogy The Matrix and also for roles in Speed and comedies such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. He was also a member of a grunge band, Dogstar, during the 1990s, as a bassist.
Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon to Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., an American geologist, and Patricia Taylor, an English showgirl and costume designer who was working in Beirut when she met Reeves’ father at a local nightclub.
Keanu Reeves inherited U.S. citizenship through his American father and British citizenship through his English mother. While living in Canada, Reeves became a naturalized Canadian citizen. All three nations–U.S., Britain, and Canada–accept the concept of multiple citizenships, so he is able to bear all three contemporaneously. In general, however, Reeves considers himself a Canadian; Canada being the country where he grew up, went to school, and got his start in show business. Although Keanu Reeves was born in Lebanon, he is not a Lebanese citizen, because his parents were only temporary residents of Lebanon and were not themselves of Lebanese descent (cf. jus soli and jus sanguinis).
His sexual orientation is matter of dispute - bisexual or heterosexual - according to some interviews he gave. Keanu Reeves had always been subjected to the rumors of being homosexual or bisexual, but has always kept a very tight lid on his romantic and private lives. He denied to be homosexual and he refuses to answer if he is bisexual or heterosexual. In June 2006, he said that he would like to get married and to have children.
