Sometime around my preteen years I was told that Keanu was Christopher Reeve's son, and I've always thought it to be true, until a few weeks/months ago when I looked it up and noticed that they don't even have the same surname.
Does anyone know if this is a common myth that was floating around at the time or if I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong body, as it were?
I feel so stupid yet at the same time I can't help but think that it's not all too strange as it sounds like one of those typical false rumors that kids take at face value and whatnot.

"Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn are mother and daughter." There was a heated discussion about this that went on for-seemingly-ever on V1.0  |

erm... just the spelling of the name should have tipped you that it was bullshit. There was a poll/thread recently concerning who was the best Superman and the names were confused and fought over even when first names were used and it was clear who the intended vote was for. The Reeves/Reeve thing is rather typo-inducing. |

skribbDon't feel too bad about it. It's just an example of much false informations that at face value seem to make sense. You certainly are not the only one to have taken the info as truth. Wiki is full of such ! Fact checking is lacking even in the news these days and back when you were a kid there were less places to fact check. At least you did look it up ! Good thread for posting some of the other "non-relatives" !

My best friend's family is friends with Keanu's family. |
