On Monday, Reeves (40) was honored with the star which was placed along Hollywood Boulevard near the spot where some action scenes in “Speed” were shot.
Rejoicing his honor Reeves said: “When I was 15 years old in Canada, I did a play called 'Romeo and Juliet.' I asked my mom if it was OK to be an actor, and she said, 'Whatever you want.' So thanks, Mom.”
He said: “I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.”
The honor came just weeks before the release of his next movie, "Constantine," adapted from the DC Comics series. Reeves stars as the title character, a man with visions of angels and devils on Earth who battles to dispatch demons back to the underworld.
The Canadian born actor has had a prolific and varied career, with roles in a range of genres including romantic comedies (Something's Gotta Give), period dramas (Dangerous Liaisons), sports flicks (The Replacements), action thrillers (Point Break) and sci-fi (Johnny Mnemonic).
