“The Matrix” actor Keanu Reeves supports victims of Beirut explosion  

DUBAI: Canadian actor Keanu Reeves has shown his solidarity to victims of the Beirut explosion this week.

On Sunday, the 55-year-old tuned into a live fundraiser stream on Instagram organized by Lebanese-American stand-up comedian Nemr Abou Nassar.

On Aug. 4, a massive explosion, near Beirut’s port area, broke through the Lebanese capital city killing over 200 people, injuring thousands and leaving 300,000 without a home.

The cause is close to the “The Matrix” star personally. Reeves was born in Beirut, though he spent much of his childhood in Canada.
