51 free Keanu Reeves trivia questions with answers. Keanu Reeves has been an action hero, a time-travelling slacker, a Shakespearean prince, a bass player and the internet's boyfriend, and this quiz covers all of him. Fifty questions run from his birth in Beirut and hockey-goalie youth in Toronto through Bill & Ted, River's Edge, Point Break, Speed and The Matrix, the lean years, the John Wick comeback, Toy Story 4, Cyberpunk 2077 and his Broadway debut, plus his band Dogstar, his comic BRZRKR, his motorcycle company and the memes. Easy questions ask what Neo's day job was and what John Wick was avenging; the hard ones want the name his agents made him audition under, the Speed sequel he turned down and how much it paid, the antifungal compound named after him and the position he played in hockey. Made for movie nights, 90s film fans and anyone who has ever said 'whoa' in his voice. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on Keanu Reeves and his films, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
