Keanu Reeves flew his friends and 'Matrix' crew out to San Francisco on a private jet for the premiere

• Keanu Reeves gifted his friends and family an expenses-paid trip to the "Matrix" premiere.
• Reeves handled the cost of a private jet, hotels, and premiere tickets for his guests.

Keanu Reeves flew a collection of his friends, co-workers, and professional advisers on an all-expenses-paid trip to San Francisco for the premiere of "The Matrix Resurrections," a recent report in The Hollywood Reporter details.

Reeves, who reprised his popular role as Neo in "The Matrix Resurrections," handled the cost of a private jet, hotels, premiere tickets, and organized a special post-premiere brunch for his guests, which included his personal trainers and professional representatives, THR reported.

Film director Chad Stahelski who acted as a stunt double for Reeves on the original "Matrix" trilogy and has since directed the star in the "John Wick" film franchise confirmed the trip to the magazine.

"He flew a bunch of us up here," Stahelski said. "He's incredibly generous. In the audience tonight will be so many people that helped him, from his martial art trainers to jiu-jitsu trainers to hair and makeup to his stunt crew. He makes sure that his friends and family are here. He's epic."

Reeves was later quizzed about his generosity by THR. In response, he said: "Yeah, it's great to be able to share our experiences and lives together."

This isn't the first time that acts of Reeves' generosity have made headlines.

In October, it was reported by various outlets that the 57-year-old veteran actor surprised his four-man "John Wick" stunt crew with personalized Rolex watches after production on the latest film in the action franchise wrapped. According to the Rolex website, personalized models can retail for up to $8,100, but HypeBeast reported that the rare watches can often go for much more.

Last week, Daily Mail reported that Reeves donated 70% of his salary from the first "Matrix" film to fund leukaemia research.

The actor also funds a private charitable foundation that supports children's hospitals.

"I have a private foundation that's been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children's hospitals and cancer research," Reeves told the Ladies Home Journal in 2009. "I don't like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does."

"The Matrix Resurrections," the fourth film in the "Matrix" franchise, hit theaters and HBO Max on 22 December. In a review of the film, Insider's entertainment correspondent Kirsten Acuna criticized the pace with which the film moves.

"The biggest failing of 'Resurrections' is that it spends too much time waking people up from the simulation, something that may frustrate those who just want to see Neo and Trinity on screen kicking butt again," the review read.
