Keanu Reeves, a self-confessed "meathead," was once asked whether it was true that he had failed his twelfth grade exams -- twice. It was true, he explained. "I even flunked gym!"

[Reeves was once told that a teen magazine was giving away funky neon key rings bearing his likeness. Reeves' reply? "What's a key ring?"... "I'm a meathead man," he once confessed. "You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb."]

[A Pasadena professor once based a college course on Keanu Reeves. "He's a little vacant, a little inarticulate," he remarked, "but he's still beautiful and still gets the girl."]
