In the YouTube video Keanu Reeves: Gentleman or Douche, his good deed is recorded by a fan on the train, and it has since became an internet hit.

And fans have piled on the praise to the Buddhist actor, who lived up to his religion's selfless nature by making the generous act.

Excellent! Bill and Ted would have doubtlessly approved of Keanu's most triumphant gesture



Keanu has been noted in the past for his selfless nature.

In 2003 he gave away £50 million of his earnings from the Matrix sequels.

He handed over the money the costume and special effects teams of the hit science fiction franchise.

When asked about his generous act the actor said 'Money is the last thing I think about.

'I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries.'
