Keanu Reeves continues to solidify his reputation as one of Hollywood's most generous stars. 

Known for his heartfelt appreciation of crew members, Reeves recently surprised the dedicated stunt team of the blockbuster series with lavish gifts: Rolex Submariner watches valued at approximately $9,150 each. 

The total gift amounted to $36,600, reflecting Reeves' gratitude for their invaluable contributions to the action-packed franchise.

Each watch bore a personal touch, with engravings that read "Thank you Keanu JW4 2021" on the inside face, a gesture that resonated deeply with the recipients.

This isn't the first time he has expressed his gratitude through extravagant gifts. 

During filming for The Matrix Reloaded, he reportedly gifted each member of the 12-person stunt team a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Keanu Reeves Earns 'Mr. Nice Guy' title in Hollywood 

Known for his altruism in Hollywood, he has consistently sacrificed his substantial salary to prioritize film production values and collaborate with esteemed actors. 

In a notable display of dedication to his craft and fellow artists, Reeves renegotiated his contracts for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, reducing his fees to bolster the budgets for costumes and special effects, crucial elements for the iconic sci-fi series.

Mr nice guy's commitment to working alongside legendary actor Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate further underscores his selflessness. 

When Pacino's involvement was at risk due to budget constraints, Reeves willingly slashed his own salary to ensure both actors could be part of the project, demonstrating his admiration and determination to realize the film's potential.

He reportedly took another significant pay cut three years later to star alongside Gene Hackman.
