Found this on another forum. Thought it was the saddest thing ever. :-\ - Dad abandoned the family when he was 3, never reconnected with him. Mom was a showgirl. - Had a long string of stepfathers and moved constantly. - Attended serveral different high schools and had trouble keeping friends. - Dyslexic. - Had a keen interest in hockey but the Olympic dream ended after an injury. - Dropped out of high school to become an actor. - His daughter died stillborn. Girlfriend suffered post-partum depression and was killed in a car accident. - His best friend is his sister. She’s dying of leukemia. - Donates most of his money to charities for cancer research to save his sister. - Never married. - Friends with actor River Phoenix. He died of a heroine overdose. - Turns down big roles if he believes the character is too violent. - Took a 90% pay cut for his work in The Replacements (2000) so Gene Hackman could be cast. - Owns a house in Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island BC, Canada and is reported to have said “I like your chicken” to an employee at the local grocery store. ![http://i55.tinypic.com/2ii790z.jpg](http://i55.tinypic.com/2ii790z.jpg) ---

I think it’s because he’s criticized a lot for supposedly being a poor actor. We’ve all heard the Keanu jokes. ---
