Keanu Reeves Takes Subway, Gives Up His Seat


A video of Keanu Reeves taking the Q train last summer and giving up his seat for a woman became a top post in Reddit on Friday. The video, apparently taken by hidden camera, shows Keanu Reeves quietly in his seat while New Yorkers pay no attention to him. 


It's an interesting case study in celebrity-on-the-subway sociology. How do New Yorkers react to such a famous person joining the daily commute? They don't. For the most part, the straphangers don't seem to pay attention to the Matrix star. Do they not recognize him? Are they just trying to play it cool?

One Redditor has a theory: "They are probably all busy recording him in secret. Just look at how he keeps glancing around. He seems a little uneasy. Either that or he's just watching out for Smith."

Yes, probably.
