Washington D.C.: Actor Keanu Reeves just learned that he has been named as the internet’s boyfriend but ‘John Wick’ star missed the memo.

Speaking to People on the ‘Toy Story 4’ premiere’s red carpet on Tuesday, the actor was asked about his thoughts on being dubbed the internet’s newest boyfriend, referencing the love for the star in the wake of his recently released ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ and his hilarious cameo in ‘Always Be My Maybe.’ However, the actor was surprised to learn about his new title.

“I’ve been what?,” he said when asked how he felt about the internet’s obsession with him.

“I didn’t know that… That’s, uh, that’s wacky. Well, the positivity’s great,” the 54-year-old actor said.

Reeves continued to speak about recent projects that fans have latched onto, like ‘John Wick 3’ and the Netflix rom-com ‘Always Be My Maybe’, in which he plays a fictionalised version of himself.

“It’s really special how John Wick was embraced, and working on Always Be My Maybe, great, you know. Ali Wong and Randall Park are just really wonderful artists and people, and it was really cool to get a chance to play with them,” he said speaking of his co-stars of the Netflix romantic-comedy.

Reeves also spoke about his upcoming film ‘Toy Story 4’, in which he voices a daredevil, motorcycle-obsessed toy called Duke Caboom.

“I just kind of got inspired,” Reeves said when asked if he really did jump onto a table at Pixar when learning about the character.
