So you're saying Keanu has celeb privilegeHahaha 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.

Most of the fans are touching him though, But yea I get why he does it.Yeah the fans are there to have a selfie taken not be touched. This is how it should be
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.
Hand on shoulder works. Only a problem if it's skin contact (e.g. dress, tank top, etc.) and guy starts being overly touchy there
what's worse? looking weird or getting sued, losing millions and career being ruinedPersonally, I think this looks weird. If this makes him comfortable though, what do I care?
is he really? i play along and he certainly seems like a cool guy but i honestly do not see it
Better not to assume you have permission to touch someone than to do it anyway and make them feel uncomfortable.
There's a difference between hover handing because you're being respectful and hover handing because you're awkward.

He absolutely was dubbed as such in the 90s, and was elected 1994's sexiest man alive. He was hugely popular in the LGBT community as well.
I feel like you guys either forgot, weren't paying attention, or weren't born, but Keanu's sex appeal was huge, and it still is nowadays even though more lowkey.
Sorry, I only answer questions that aren't trash and dumb.You can mind read from a photo the intentions of hover handing?
Yeah, that comment was really not needed. Smh
Co-star? Even worse.
I love this movie. And I love Keanu's small role. Just perfect.

Eh with strangers it's polite to just ask first. Like it's probably okay with a lot if not most people but it doesn't hurt to ask because you never know.Hand on shoulder works. Only a problem if it's skin contact (e.g. dress, tank top, etc.) and guy starts being overly touchy there
Different strokes for different folks innitis he really? i play along and he certainly seems like a cool guy but i honestly do not see it
Is he hoverhanding the motorcycle? What a legend.
Whats her name? I think thats just a fan.

When the average person does it it looks lame, but when Keanu does it he looks like Jesus blessing people.
Yep. Read, peeps.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, 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:
Wait... what? If this is true, you just ruined Keanu Reeves for me 😔
You just know this guy will never be a milkshake duck.
Running for US president when
What if someone doesn't like to be touched though? Does taking a picture with someone automatically mean you're okay with them touching you? I don't think it has to.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.
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).
There can be no miscommunication if you don't touch.Ten years ago a person would be called a loser for hover handing, now they are a king.
