Keanu Reeves knows how to deal with a problem not just on the big screen, but also in real life.
Over the weekend, the plane carrying Reeves, 54, from San Francisco to Burbank, Los Angeles, made an emergency landing in Bakersfield. While it arrived safely and without incident, there was some uncertainty because there were no flight attendants at the airport.
The actor, a seasoned traveler, came over to assist plan the trip and then leased a vehicle to transport his fellow passengers to Los Angeles because it was faster than flying.
“That moment when your jet nearly crashes and you have to make an emergency landing at a remote airstrip, but at least Keanu Reeves is having a bad day like you,” fellow passenger Amir Bloom So – developer of game firm Unboxed Experience – observed.
Passengers recorded the actor on their phones and published it on Instagram. Keanu was “cool,” offering humorous tidbits about Bakersfield to his other riders while wearing his cherished “Ark” biker hat. “The city has a population of around 380,000 people, ranking it ninth in California and 52nd in the United States.”
He then went to YouTube and searched for “Bakersfield sounds,” which is country music that emerged in and around the city in the 1950s.
You might be surprised to learn that Reeves declined to eat at Blimpi Airport, which has since reopened to travelers. On the way back, he did, however, buy himself some water and a banana.
Mr. Reeves was last seen strolling towards Carl Jr.’s fast food restaurant as the party arrived safely in Los Angeles.
This story, for which many public relations professionals would pay top dollar, is completely characteristic of Keanu Reeves. He’s just a lovely man who hasn’t been a celebrity in any way.
