All the more reason he is an exceptional man as well as an amazing actor. He shows that you can stumble and fall, but what matters is you keep getting back up and push on. I may not be Canadian, but Im so glad he's from there because it's there that made him the man he is today. Canada, you're one lucky country. Congratulations Keanu, no one deserves it more than you!
