This is not just an incident when he put himself to the rescue, recently he had saved a victim from a hit-and-run in Santa Monica.

Reeves is often cited as one of the most generous stars in Hollywood, in a recent incident he donated a big portion of his earning to the crew and behind-the-scenes personnel working on films such as The Matrix trilogy. If reports are to be believed some of his donations are as high as a staggering 80 million dollars. There have been several questions raised over his donations but none dared to raise a finger over his generous persona.
