This is absolutely outrageous - I always liked the guy though he seems vacant, now I like him a lot more. How many people in any walk of life - let alone showbiz - are this uncorrupted by money? Amazing.

People seem to be missing that those are English Pounds, not US Dollars. A quick check with a currency converter reveals that to be a little over $2.8 million to each recipient.

Also I'd seen other reports that he would probably get something like $200 million or more from Matrices 2 & 3.

I always thought he was a bit of a bimbo, but he always seemed like a fairly nice feller

I always thought it would be the only decent thing to do with that much money. Hell, 90 percent of humankind can't even imagine that amount of money. What should a single person do with it?

And Keanu, if you have something left - my bank account is starving. Thanks anyway.

Hey Phillip Winn,

See that symbol to the left of the figures quoted? It's called a DOLLAR sign. If these figures were being quoted in British sterling, there would have a been a pound sign in it's place.

Whatever gave you the idea that these figures were pounds???

Actually, Phillip is right, click through to the soriginal story and it's all in pounds.

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure how 75% of the pound signs ended up converted in Amber's posting, but there is even one holdout pound sign above. Apparently the pseudonymous commenter didn't even read the whole story, let alone following the link. :)

Yeah I'm sorry guys. Umm I copied the body of the story from another site, not the original link, and I guess that person decided it needed to be in dollars but missed one? I briefly glanced at the original story.

My mistake. I'm correcting it in this post.

What a great guy!! And a great actor, too!

This was a remarkably generaous gesture - what's not to like about Keanu?

I want too Thank Keanu for being so giving and generous.If he cannot recieve this message himself then I hope this can be passed on too him and that I think he's a wonderful and really good looking.I wish he knew how admired he really is.

Keanu was very very very very very gernerous to have done something like that...I mean we just dont get or see many rich an famous ppl or actors givin their money away...So i'm guessin that he's the 1st to hve done somethin so nice...An yeah he his admired by many fans of his but i get the hint that he does know that he is admired by his fans and ppl around the world..

Will someone please make me a millionaire?

i need Keanu to get in touch with me because i have a bottle of his favirote wine Penfolds Grange hermitage 1987. [Personal contact info deleted]

If you keanu so generous why don't he give me $10 million US Dollar then i believe it. please keanu give respond.

Wow, what nice guy. I am almost sure that those young people that were working on his film, worked their butt off. I have worked on sets before and it is not as romantic as it seems. It's alot of hard work, alot of long hours and sometimes you don't get paid for every minute or hour you invest into it. You get just good enough pay but thats where it stops.
Keanu is a rare commodity in the film business.
Keanu, you alright in my book buddy.

That's great what you did. Please send me some money too. I need it, not want but need. Keep up the good work.
