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?

…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
