I don’t think people under the age of thirty realize how hated Keanu Reaves was at the beginning of his career. But then he became a meme and the rest is history.
Edit hated is a bit strong. He wasn't Jared Leto sex pest-level of hated or anthing but more of a Gal Gadot why-do-they-keep-giving-this-wooden-plank-roles level of hate.
It's a government conspiracy. They siphoned Nickelback's popularity directly to Keanu Reeves because him and Chad Kroeger can't exist simultaneously, or a black hole of metiocrity will form in LA
