Keanu Reeves is one of those people that has such a unique aesthetic it's hard to tell what exactly his ethnic background is made up out of. Apparently, his mother is English and his father is of Chinese, Irish, Portuguese, Native Hawaiian, and English descent. Many probably wouldn't have thought that the guy from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure would become one of the world's biggest movie stars but he did and ended up starring in action films like Speed, the revolutionary Matrix trilogy, Constantine, and the John Wick series.
So, how could someone with such a complex background possibly look like anyone else on this planet? We're not sure but Keanu Reeves has a doppelganger in French painter and illustrator, Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel who was known for his realistic portraits and children's books illustrations. If someone as peculiar looking as Keanu Reeves has a look-a-like then there's no reason in the world to doubt that you too have one as well.
