It's a great read.

You're never too famous to fanboy out over your idols — just ask Keanu Reeves.

The Matrix Resurrections star participated in a fun round of "The Colbert Questionert" during his Wednesday appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, during which he revealed which two celebrities he has asked for their autographs.

While the actor "always thought he just wrote that for me," he admitted, "then I met someone else who said that he wrote the same thing to them! Anyway, beautiful."
