By a weird fluke, I have two friends who, separately, spent time with him in the 90s and both still talk about his generosity: he took them for rides on his motorbike and stayed in touch (yes, I am furious with them for not including me in any of this). There are legions of stories about Reeves’ kindness: buying his stuntmen motorbikes, renegotiating his Matrix contract so that the crew got a better deal, at a personal cost of millions of dollars. Shortly before we meet, Reeves was on a flight between San Francisco and Los Angeles that was grounded due to a mechanical fault.

So his four decades-long reticence with the media might well be Reeves’ most brilliantly sustained performance. But he bristles when I mention these stories. “I’m pretty private, so when that stuff doesn’t stay private it is not great,” he says. I agree to the terms of service Update List
