The heartwarming story comes via a TV producer named Andrew Kimmel, who took to Twitter on July 4 and posted a photo of the mask-wearing actor giving the boy an autograph as they waited at baggage claim at an airport in New York after a flight from London. As Kimmel tells it, the boy approached the Matrix star and asked for his autograph. But the encounter didn't end there.
According to Kimmel, the boy fired off a list of questions and, perhaps to no one's surprise, Reeves "happily responded to every single" question: "Kid: Why were you in London? KR: Filming a documentary. Kid: I saw online you were at the Grand Prix (pronouncing the x) KR: Yes, the Grand Prix (in a French accent, without correcting him). F1! Race cars! Kid: Do you drive? KR: Not f1, but I like riding motorcycles."
