If you’ve been on the internet at all this week, you know that people cannot get enough of actor Keanu Reeves.
Reeves, who recently appeared in a supporting role in Randall Park and Ali Wong’s new Netflix rom-com, “Always Be My Maybe,” and in a starring role in “John Wick: Chapter 3,” is having a serious moment right now, and that, of course means he’s become a meme.
In honor of the Keanu Reeves renaissance, we rounded up some of our favorites.
Reeves went viral for a scene in ‘Always Be My Maybe’
Reeve’s intro scene in the movie features a cool slow-motion stroll through a restaurant, which is set to the Awolnation track “Sail.”
It didn't take long for the scene to inspire a new Twitter meme, led by an account called "Keanu Reeves Walking to Music." Proving just how perfect the clip is, fans are swapping out the original tune and replacing it with other, very different music choices.

My theory about why everyone thinks Keanu Reeves is hot right now is that he seems like the kind of guy who would get into a fight to defend your honor but also, like, knows how to load a dishwasher well.

We thought the Goldblum era would last beyond 2018......... but alas, we have now found ourselves willingly entering the Keanu Reeves dynasty.

I finally figured out something I can tweet that no one will disagree with me on:

Reeves doesn't appear to use social media, but even he caught wind of his current internet fame. When asked about being the new big thing online, he called it "wacky" and even used it as a way to praise Wong and Park.
"I've been what?" he said. "That's wacky. The positivity is great. It's really special how 'John Wick' was embraced and working on 'Always Be My Maybe' [was] great. Ali Wong and Randall Park [are] just really wonderful artists and people, and it was really cool to get a chance to play with them."
