What Keanu Reeves Was Like Before All The Fame
By William Rodriguez
Unfortunately, Reeves' mother was unlucky in love. Her marriage with Reeves' father ended after only a couple years, and Reeves barely saw him after he turned six; in fact, Reeves says they haven't spoken since he was 13. After divorcing Reeves' father, his mother went on to marry Paul Aaron, a director working on Broadway and in the film industry. While that marriage didn't last, Reeves stayed connected with Aaron, and when he was 15, he went to work for him as a production assistant.
His mother later married and divorced Robert Miller, a rock promoter, and Jack Bond, a hair salon owner. But Aaron definitely made an impression on Reeves, and he supported him as he began his career as an actor. Aaron expressed admiration for Reeves long after their brief working relationship ended. "Keanu is clearly a man who has worked very hard for a very long time," Aaron told People. "It's not as if, 'Gee, isn't it wonderful you went to work and all of a sudden, you're a star?'"
