Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves, has revealed that he almost changed his stage name at a point in his career.
While speaking with Jason and Travis Kelce on the New Heights podcast, Reeves revealed that he almost went by “Chuck Spadina.”
“I remember I was walking on the beach, and I was just like, ‘My name? What if I change my name? What?’” he recalled.
The actor disclosed that he made an attempt to come up with alternatives, but none of them sounded like the right fit.
“My middle name is Charles, so I was like, ‘…Chuck?. And I grew up on a street called Spadina, (therefore) Chuck Spadina,” he added.
Reeves, however, stated that he did not like the sound of the new name, so he just stuck with his known name.
“And then I couldn’t do it. So then I would be in auditions, and they would go, ‘KC Reeves.’ And I wouldn’t even answer. Six months later, I was like, ‘I’m not doing this.’ That’s a Hollywood moment,” he stated.
