Would You Let Keanu Reeves Babysit?


I know lots of you would let Keanu Reeves do pretty much whatever he wants as long as he came over to your house and did it naked. But, lost in all the shuffle of who Charlize Theron is supposedly dating whether it is Alexander Skarsgard or Keanu Reeves was a little blurb that Charlize lets Keanu Reeves babysit Charlize's son, Jackson.

Put the thought out of your head for a second that Charlize probably has a team of nannies and is not calling up random friends to see if they can come babysit for a few hours. Second, is that call you are going to make to Keanu? This is a guy who sometimes has gone six months without showering and a week or two without even speaking and you want him to babysit your newborn? Would you let Keanu babysit for you?

  2. Absolutely! I think he'd be wonderful with babies. I'm not quite sure why. LOL
    Anyway, if Charlize trusts him with her newborn, I'm sure he's just fine.

  4. Yeah sure. I mean I don't think he would put my kid in any danger, so I guess so.

  5. Oh and here is an excuse to share my Keanu story. I was on a school trip in Italy awhile ago, and he was there. We were in a tiny little village, and he was really pissed off that we recognized him.
    That's it.

  6. I can't hear his name without picturing Keanu and William Hurt in "I love you to death". "Reggie! Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!" Totally underrated movie.

  9. Thanks for the story, @seaward. Short and... sweet? ;)

    If he was a good friend, I'd ask him to babysit. Wouldn't want my newborn with strangers.

  10. Well, being a new and single mother, she probably wants the baby exposed early on to a male in a care taking capacity also, and who better than a trusted friend.

  11. I'd let him watch my dogs, sure. I'd probably let him babysit my vagina as well for freeeeeeee!

  12. I don't know him personally so I can't say. I'm sure that he is fine if she thinks enough to leave her son with him. I can't see a new mom, let alone one with access to top notch childcare, leaving her child with someone unstable. It's not like her last name is Lohan.

    As far as Keanu, I didn't really start to like him until I saw the duct tape on his shoe.

  13. I would not let him babysit for me. Simply because if I told him to give the baby a bath, I don't think he'd know what to do.

  14. @Elizabeth - I agree. I love the idea of these two together. They are both real people under all the glamour. Didn't he always want kids and something tragic happened several years ago.

    I love me some Keanu! And the fact he loves Norton motorcycles makes him even cooler!

  15. @seaward -- My cousin-in-law also ran into Keanu when in Italy a few years ago, but he and his friends got a picture with him. Needless to say, I was very jealous.

    @dia papaya -- He and his girlfriend Jennifer Syme (I believe that's right) got pregnant, but their daughter was stillborn. Some time after that Jennifer died in a car crash.

  16. She's a single mom right? Then I think she's smart to let a trusted male friend spend time with her son.

  17. My husband would! Of course my husband would stay and ask a million questions about the making of the Matrix. Keanu would run away screaming, "I don't remember!!!!" Keanu would then put a restraining order on my husband and warn the Warksoski (sp) brothers about him.

    If it were just me and my hubs wouldn't find out I got the offer, I would say a firm "no."

  18. Does Charlize let Keanu babysit on Skype or something since he has been in China for the past 7 months directing his first feature?

  19. If charlize is fine with it then whats the prob! I dont know about babysitting my kid but he could always come by to keep me company.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Maybe -- so long as the nanny is nearby and Reeves would be just playing with the kid.

  21. He can absolutely babysit my child. The one I'll be having with him as soon as I can get him on a date.

  22. I loved him in "I love you to death" - totally underrated movie!

    Yep...

  24. Of course. He may be eccentric, but that doesn't equal irresponsible.

  25. What AKM said.

    Also, I don't take Charlize Theron as an idiot. I don't think she would leave her kid with someone who didn't have the capacity to be responsible and provide proper care.

  26. I'm sure Keanu takes any child are very seriously after his tragic loss. So yes.

    ReplyDelete
  27. He can babysit anything of mine anytime!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. AKM & Beth - Seconded!!

  29. I went into dream mode the moment I read Keanu.

    I would let that guy do anything to me. And I would let him babysit if I had a child.

    Ohh Enty I am going to be thinking of Keanu all night now!! ;)

  30. Without a second thought, yes. The writer of this item just sounds jealous.

  31. I would have babies just so he could babysit them, so yeah. He seems like a gentle soul. Who cares if he doesn't bathe? Or talk? Babies don't really have that big an issue with hygiene, and could care less if you form complete sentences.

  32. Met him in Sydney whilst he was filming The Matrix. He would often eat at this tiny vegan restaurant called Bohdi, I wonder if he thought of Patrick S when he ate there. Anyway he would always be alone, not unfriendly but he liked to be low key. We had a brief chat over yum cha one morning, I was thrilled; can't remember the conversation it was short and stilted but I didn't embarrass myself and he was gracious.

  33. Years ago, I knew some people who had worked in Soap casting in Hollywood about the time Keanu was getting started. They lived in the same apartment complex & he would come over & play Barbies with their little girl. I don't think he ever babysat her but I always thought it was a really sweet story.

  34. He seems like the kind of person that when he has responsibilities and goals, he takes them very seriously. Would give you the shirt off his back type.
