A majority of people make the assumption that celebrities are snooty. Although most people have never met a famous actress or actor to confirm these claims, it has become common practice to bash celebrities for the smallest mishaps or failures. Newspapers, blogs, and news outlets love nothing more than some juicy gossip surrounding a famous celebrity.

In this video from 2011, actor Keanu Reeves proved all of these ideas about celebrities wrong, when he offered a woman his seat on the subway. The kind act happened to be caught on camera and has since gone viral.

There is also a general assumption that celebrities live in opulent houses and travel in private jets even across the shortest distances. People with an average income assume that these people would be pretentious and snobby. While this assumption is true in many cases, it is always nice to see a celebrity acting like a normal person.

Keanu Reeves, an actor known for his role in the Matrix series, has always been a likable and down-to-earth celebrity. He is a constant reminder that actors and actresses don't only exist in their bubble of fame.

In fact, Keanu Reeves is a regular commuter on the New York subway system. Although he is worth millions of dollars, Reeves doesn't feel the need to waste money on transportation or boast about his net worth with fancy cars.

One bystander happened to recognize Reeves on the subway and captured footage that would end up going viral. However, the video didn't become famous for featuring a Hollywood actor. Instead, the video has received millions of views because of the act of kindness caught by the subway rider.

In the footage, Keanu can be seen sitting in silence in an attempt to remain incognito. He is dressed casually and looks around to see if other riders notice him.

All of a sudden, the subway makes a scheduled stop, and a crowd of people enters the railcar. After the doors close, it is clear that some people will have to stand due to a lack of seating.

Reeves notices a woman standing in front of him with a large duffel bag. The actor realizes that the woman doesn't have an open seat and decides to offer his space.

Reeves quietly gets up from his seat and gets the woman's attention. The woman accepts the offer and takes the seat. Reeves proceeds to stand right in front of the bystander who has been filming the whole incident.

In the footage, Reeves is sporting a tiny smirk after his kind act. We're not sure if the smile stems from the good deed or something else. Either way, it is clear that the actor is a gentleman.
