June is officially the month of Keanu Reeves - and for good reason, and if you think that you could only fall in love with Reeves so much, here's another piece of story that would make you love and respect the actor even more.
The 'John Wick' star has been receiving tonnes of compliments from his fans and the general public for a trait that not many men possess – the art of not touching women inappropriately when posing for photos with them (or also known as 'Hover Hands').

His ‘trait’ was discovered after a Twitter user uploaded photos of the 54-year-old posing with female fans - and his hands were nowhere near their bodies.
The photos shared by the fan show that his arms were either behind the women or hovering over their arms or waists.
When the internet took notice of Reeves' gentlemanly trait, they tweeted their seal of approval:
I don't think embracing someone asking to take a picture with you is disrespectful, in theory. But choosing to still respect their personal space is smart because it is thoughtful.

Just a thought... perhaps Keanu recognized that not one of these women gave him their consent to touch him and I don’t know, he respected their bodily autonomy. Keanu showing everyone how to be respectful might be a potential takeaway as well. This is just a thought though.

Even so, some opined that Reeves was only acting that way to protect himself from feminists’ criticism and unwanted sexual harassment lawsuits, although the theory was generally not popular with a lot of people.We stan a respectful king

We don't care whether it's for self defence or that he has manners (we believe it's the latter), all we know is that if there's someone who could pull off the 'hover hands', it's Keanu Reeves!
Much respect to you, Mr Wick.
