Why Does Keanu Reeves Do This?

This is one of the most ridiculous conclusions I’ve ever seen. A Facebook page has shared several images of Keanu Reeves posing with women in photographs. SEE KEANU REEVES PHOTO…

This is one of the most ridiculous conclusions I've ever seen. A Facebook page has shared several images of Keanu Reeves posing with women in photographs.

In them, you can always see the actor's hand hovering behind the person he is standing beside. Many of his fans have taken notice and praised him for being mannerly and polite...a gentleman.

While this may be true. As a public figure of MUCH LOWER stature, let me tell you what he is doing, because I do it too. Our society has gone nuts. They will sue for anything, even if it's not true. And in some cases, paying to make it go away is easier/cheaper than fighting it.

I NEVER take a picture where you can't see both my hands clearly. There can never be an accusation of impropriety as long as this is the case.

Some may think it's weird, and looks awkward, but to me this action makes Keanu Reeves one of the smartest, most savvy celebrities of all time.
