Children will not stop approaching Keanu Reeves to call him "fortified guy"

Who is this man for you? Is Keanu Reeves, a beloved actor on the list, suddenly returning to the consciousness of our pop culture? Is he the guy who played Neo in the very influential Matrix movies? Maybe you know him as John Wick?

Well, if you ask a child, it is very likely that he will tell you that this is the type of Fortnite, the royal battle game that came out in 2017. But until that very recently, Keanu Reeves was not really Fortnite. Keanu did not stop bringing his children to call him "Fortnite dude, "according to a recent interview with E3 by Donald Mustard, artistic director of Epic Games.

Keanu "was starting to have all those kids to him, all those teenagers in the street, and they were not doing the normal thing 'Oh, you're Neo, oh you're Wick,'" Mustard, who's talking to Keanu, said host Geoff Keighley.For that, they continued to refer to Keanu as "Fortnite guy! "right to his face.

Probably, the children were referring to a character in costume called The Reaper, familiarly nicknamed John Wick by Fortnite Fans. (What makes sense: one of John Wick's pseudonyms is "The Reaper".) The Reaper has become an important part of the game culture, as Fortnite The faithful will often wear the skin to indicate that they are hardcore players. And John Wick, of course, is played by Keanu Reeves.

The funny thing is that, according to Mustard, Keanu had no idea what Fortnite That was when this first time began to happen, nor did he feel that The Reaper was much like him. But meetings with children have become so frequent that Keanu and Epic Games have decided to create an official skin for John Wick, so people stop confusing the results of John Wick. This is apparently how Epic Games was able to obtain a real John Wick added the skin to Fortnite earlier this year.

What animates me in this anecdote is that it is a perfect synthesis of the quantity of Fortnite conquered the world. While the game refers to all kinds of pieces of pop culture, for many children who play the game, Fortnite will probably be their first introduction to the concept in question. That's why there has been so much chaos about giving credit to dance creators who end up being emotes in Fortnite – without a visible reference, people will simply assume Fortnite is where everything comes from. Even Keanu Reeves.
