Keanu Reeves says "it's been really nice" to be embraced so much by people around the world

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: "It's been really nice and special for me. Just how well the 'John Wick' film was received and then also recently with 'Always Be My Maybe' and then being connected with [game developer] CD Projekt Red.

"I've just had the chance to be working with really cool people and be a part of really cool projects. And so to be here with 'Toy Story 4' is a lot of fun. It's nice when it's nice."

Despite earning universal plaudits and respect, the 54-year-old star - who also stars in upcoming video game 'Cyberpunk 2077' - recently admitted he is "lonely".

He admitted he doesn't have "anyone" in his life at the moment that he can see building a romantic relationship with, but he hopes it'll happen for him one day because he has a lot of love to give to the right person.

Keanu previously said when asked what he thinks about love: "You mean romantic love?

"You know, I'm the lonely guy. I don't have anyone in my life. But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person; hopefully it'll happen for me."

The 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' star certainly knows how to win over the heart of a girl as he pulled out all the romantic stops for his first proper girlfriend.

He explained: "I was 17 and I had an older girlfriend who turned me on to a lot of music. I had this car with these speakers in the back; she turned me on to bands like Joy Division, the Violent Femmes.

"We would get in the car, drink a little, do this or that, and I'd put the speakers on top of the car, and we'd go to a park and we'd dance."
