Sadly, when Keanu was only 3 years old, his father walked out on his family. From then, he was raised by just his mother, Patricia.
During his childhood, he moved around a lot from Hawaii, Australia, New York, and finally Canada.
After settling in Toronto, Canada, his mother worked as a costume designer working in the rock and roll industry. Oddly enough, this resulted in Alice Cooper babysitting a young Keanu Reeves.
