Hollywood star Keanu Reeves revealed that he almost used a stage name he now considers terrible early in his career.
The humorous moment was shared by The Matrix actor during a recent episode of the New Heights podcast with brothers Jason and Travis Kelce.
Reeves said that his manager at the time suggested changing his name to something more suitable for the Hollywood entertainment scene.
Among the names proposed was “Chuck Spadina”, a combination inspired by his middle name, Charles, and the street where he grew up.
“My middle name is Charles, so I thought, ‘…Chuck?’” he said.
“And I grew up on a street called Spadina, so it became Chuck Spadina,” he added.
The 61-year-old actor also revealed that he once considered using the name KC Reeves, but admitted that he didn’t feel comfortable continuing with it.
In the end, Reeves decided to keep his real name, feeling more confident embracing his true identity.
He described the experience as a funny and typical Hollywood moment.
— Boom!
