He's also pretty slick behind a trigger.


Basically he's who we all want to be... minus the personal tragedies.

I knew he rode, didn't know he made customs though.  Certainly didn't know he was a shooter.

If I remember right he seriously injured himself riding the canyons of LA without his headlight on at night - something called a 'Demon Run'.

A demon run would be quite the challenge even under the brightest moon.

Keanu is known for super nice to everyone.


 I think the footage is from his training for "John Wick 2"  I was asked to sculpt the character so ran into the video while researching before.

He turned 52 last month. He doesn't age.

Excellent.


Everyone thinks Chuck Norris is bad, but Chuck Norris has not meet Lucky either.  Lucky will round house kick Chuck back to 1969 and pop a wheel with the 1st sandcast while shotgunning a PBR!
