Default For years I thought Keanu Reeves was English
Because the only film in which I'd seen him was Dracula.

Keanu Reeves was born in Lebanon?

Does he have Dual Citizenship between Canada and Lebanon then?

…wasn’t Keanu’s English accent in Bram Stoker’s Dracula a bit on a par with Dick Van Dyke’s cockney accent in Mary Poppins……obviously an exaggeration but I don’t recall it as being very good ….I like him, not the best actor ever but a good screen presence and very likeable…favourite of his movies would probably be Matrix/obviously…Speed, Point Break and Constantine…and Bill and Ted is iconic…

He was great on Point Break. Probably my favourite movie he's done.

Wait, Dick Van Dyke isn't cockney!?

Constantine ... there's a character in DC Comics I love called that, was he a magician of sorts?

…he was an exorcist person, I think he was half angel and was very helpful with supernatural type stuff…maybe he was based on a DC character, I’m not sure actually but that could be so…

Was going to come back to the thread to say this, his English accent was ridiculously bad in Dracula
