Keanu Reeves’ agent wanted him to adopt a new name
A few weeks ago, to promote the film One battle after another, Leonardo DiCaprio took part in an episode of the podcast New heights. The actor then made a revelation about the beginning of his career. He explained it his agent wanted to change his name because he thought it would help him get better roles. Present at his side, Benicio del Toro admitted to having had the same experience. AND Keanu Reeves just made a similar revelation.
The latter is himself involved in the promotion of his new film, Good lucka comedy in which he plays an angel who decides to prove to an unlucky man that money doesn’t solve all problems. In this context, Keanu Reeves also participated in the podcast New heights. And he in turn admitted it his agent asked him to change his name shortly after starting his career.
The actor had three other names
Keanu Reeves said he began his professional acting career in “16 or 17 years old”he found an agent who lived in Los Angeles while he himself was in Toronto. At age 20 he drove from Toronto to Los Angeles. And when he got out of the car, his manager told him: “We want you to change your name”.
The actor then looked for an alternative. To adopt the name he was initially inspired by his middle name (Charles) and the street where he grew up “Chuck Spadina”. Then it changed to “something Templeton”. And finally for “KC Reeves”. In the end, he abandoned this idea and returned to his real name.
He returned to his original name for his first major roles
In 2017, during an appearance at Tonight’s show by host Jimmy Fallon, Keanu Reeves gave the full name “something Templeton”. He explained that it was “Templeton Paige Taylor”. AND Variety reports it the actor was in fact credited as “KC Reeves” in an episode of the show The wonderful world of Disney.
Luckily, Keanu Reeves had adopted his real name again when he started getting his first major roles at the cinema. He was then given his real name for films such as Dangerous relationships AND Breaking point.
