Keanu Reeves offers his subway seat

(CBS) - Keanu Reeves. Actor. Straphanger. Gentleman.

This clip is short and sweet - emphasis on sweet. Keanu Reeves just seems like a likeable guy. In our age of never-ending celebrity gossip and tabloid mania, it's surprising how refreshing it is to see the rich and famous act like normal people. No, more than normal people, polite people. Mr. Reeves, you just made a new fan today. (Just kidding, obviously we're big Keanu fans here at The Feed.)

Also, does anyone know that New York subway line this is? I may have to ride it up and down the city for the rest of the day - you know, for research.

I also agree with the poster who noted that it is sad that so simple and unselfish an act like this by a celebrity makes news. That doesn't say very much for most of the rest of them.; Reply to this comment

by hbs11476 December 11, 2011 9:02 AM EST: I love the fact that so many celebrities ride the subway rather than needing to be pampered by limos or something. It's hard to say what line that is, since many of the newer trains all look the same. But it looks like the lighted sign above the bench says that it's a Q train.; Reply to this comment

Am I the only one who noticed he gave up his seat when a black man sat down?

by democracy8 December 10, 2011 5:24 PM EST: Am I the only one who noticed he gave up his seat when there were NO SEATS LEFT? That's how it usually happens. Not everything all the time has to do with race. Give me a break.
