Good on him, you don't need to touch everyone who wants a photo with you.
Is this a John Wick reference, or a poor taste joke about his loved ones? I honestly can't tell.

It's a dumb thing to laugh about, if he isn,t confortable man handling people let him fake it.
If you want to drag him on something, why nothis support for Israel?
edit: I heard about the Israel thing today, but didn't find anything concrete to support the claim since, so it was probably bogus. Thank god.

Are you telling me I can dodge lawsuits
No Neo, i'm telling you when the time comes, you won't have to

When the average person does it it looks lame, but when Keanu does it he looks like Jesus blessing people.
Funny how things change. If you remember, 10 years ago 'hoverhand' was a massive joke people pointed toward as a way to shame some men for being awkward around women. It was played off like they wanted to appear to have intimacy without wanting the woman to know or consent. Keanu is being praised for it, today.
User banned (3 days): Inappropriate commentary.
I wonder if he's like this because he's still mourning the loss of his girlfriend and their stillborn daughter.
I love this movie. And I love Keanu's small role. Just perfect.

I watched this past weekend with my wife, that scene was amazing lol.
The answer is that people just love Keanu right now and he can do no wrong.
Nothing has changed. If you did this today you'd be made fun of. We're just in a "Omg Keanu is EPIC :D" moment (and he's a good looking celebrity).
Haha just watched that movie last night. Was a hilarious surprise to see him in it. Especially after the Microsoft E3 Cyberpunk surprise just days earlier.
You might wanna clarify if this is a John Wick refference cus the implication of your joke if it ain't...
That's why I just do the double finger extended point back to every camera that points at me:
Truly the only winning move.

I remember watching this live. It was an all time great moment.
Has he said that he does this to avoid being me tooed or whatever? He might just not want to touch every rando that walks up to him all day.
The hoverhands were right the whole time tbh
I never did it because lol, but the tides have changed

Wait... what? If this is true, you just ruined Keanu Reeves for me 😔
Hahaha I can't tell if most of you are kidding, but hover handing is still ridiculous. If you're posing in a picture with someone, touching their shoulder is a normal, acceptable pose.
The difference of treatment of hover hand in the case of Keanu compared to the cases of nerds 10 years ago is because not the same dynamics are at play in both cases. Nerdy hover hands from 10 years ago were majorly made by men who wanted to pretend they were close to a girl, generally cute one fitting social standards of beauty, without being rejected by her nor asking for her consent, in order to brag about it later on.
Keanu on the other hand, is a sex symbol and has been since like the start of his career, and he knows this very well and has developed techniques around that in order to be able to live his life relatively normally. His hover hand is his way of protecting himself, his privacy, of setting boundaries with his fans. He has been a very private man, and still is, and that's his way of setting his personal space. He does that with every women regardless of their beauty fitting the social standard or not. He's very skilled at firmly blocking flirting attempts being made towards him, in a respectful manner, probably because he's had a lifetime of those coming his way and had to learn how to deal with them.
This interview really paints a good picture about it:

There's a difference between hover handing because you're being respectful and hover handing because you're awkward.
