Exclusive -- Keanu Stopped By Cops at LAX

Keanu Reeves was pulled over by airport police at Los Angeles International Airport today for a traffic violation, but escaped with only a warning.

It's not the biggest crime in the world certainly, but anything that goes down at airports these days is eventful. Reeves was pulled over for allegedly violating California Vehicle Code 21453(a) -- failing to stop at a signal or, in common parlance, blowing a red light. It happened at 3:00 p.m. PST. The cop did not issue a citation and let Reeves go with a warning.

It's unclear what the "Matrix" star was doing at the airport, although we know he was on the upper level, which is for departing passengers.

A rep for Reeves could not be reached for comment.

20. Keanu Reeves was born in Lebanon. Lacking middleeastern blood or not still makes him legally, "Lebanese" lol.

Why did the cop pull him over? Um, to get an autography. I could just see him sitting behind a garbage dumpster as Keanu blew by "Holy shite that's Keanu Reeves!" LOL

That said, when I read this fucking article and saw the word "Exclusive" I couldnt' stop laughing because it was so damned dumb.

I know Keanu is more interesting than that. I'd love to see more articles on this low key dude (topher grace, ewan mcgregor are others I'd like to hear more about!!!!) but come on, a traffic pull over?

Get back to us when he drop kicks an officer and dodes some bullets, homey.

21. I was going to say the same thing to Sans, Susan. When Keanu was born in 1965, Beirut, Lebanon was the Paris of the MIddle east during those years.

I think any mixing of races tend to create the most physically attractive individuals. I did medical transcription for years and when a bi-racial/tri-racial child was born, they called the child "Melotin race."

For those bigoted individuals who do not believe in mixing any races, you need to wake up and smell the coffee. Mixed race (melotin) children are the most beautiful babies physically and grow up to be the most physically beautiful children and sometimes adults. They get the best of all the races involved.

Just like Keanu has. That man couldn't be any better looking if he tried , , , inside or out.

I believe thorughout our own family histories we probably would all find that there has been different races involved in all our family trees. So why all the hate in the World? I think it's more class racisim more then anything else.

Who knows how people can hate each other based on their skin color. What a stupid reason to judge someone.

Geez, I must be bored tonight!!! I'm getting too deep. Of course, any story that is involving Keanu, I have to say something.about it.

WE all love you Keanue so please be safe for all concerned.

22. Any story with pictures about Keanu is interesting to me. It's the first thing I do when I go online. I do a search for Keanu and see what he was doing and where.

Julian, sorry but Keanu is a Canadian Citizen. He never changed his citizenship to live in America. Canadians only have to get a special kind of green card that allows them to stay in the U.S. for working.

Keanu was born in Lebanon. His family moved to Australia. Then New York. Finally they moved to Toronto and his mother (who has been married and divorced 3-4 times) obtained Citizenship for them there. During those moves, his mother divorced his father and married some guy in the music business, and then another man involved in the business. Keanu has a full-blooded sister Kim and a half sister Kristen (sp). Keanu also has another half sister who I do not know if he has ever met or not. She is his father's and had a different mother.

While in Canada, his mother was a designer for many of the wilder clothes some musicians wore, i.e. Dolly Pardon, Alice Cooper. I read somewhere that she had a peach-colored mohawk at the time. She also ran something like a B&B and the singers and musicians would stay with them while she worked on their designs for them.

Now I believe they all live in California. Keanu's sister Kim, I believe is living in Capri, Italy, and raises champion horses.

Of course, all of this is from stories I have read plus the THS on E TV as well as the Bravo Channel.

Keanu was almost killed in a terrible accident on his motorcycle in the early 90's. He had to have emergency surgery and it was rumored that his spleen was removed but Keanu stated in interviews that he still had everything.

I'm with Susan Keanu. Be careful out there. We hardcore fans would be lost without you.

27. Who cares about Hooolleywood. These quacks think the movies would fall apart without their overpriced retarded a**es. Trust me, it will not. Perhaps better movies will grace the theators.
I'm bored with secaular movies with no place in reality, complete fiction. I would rather stay home and sleep my brains out.

28. So, Mr. Keanu Reeves only gets a warning for busting through the red light? If it were you or I , I am sure it would be a fat ticket coming out of our pocketbook. Am I right or wrong ? Ooooooooh, its somebody important so lets not look like a jerk and write him a ticket.
