Brad, Leo, or Keanu?

[AmandaYVR]

Who's the coolest/who do you like the most of these three guys?

They are similarly accomplished and talented actors of similar age. Just curious what you think. You can comment on who you like best, personality-wise in real life, or if you like one's acting style better (they are all equally good in my opinion).
I purposely didn't include other actors who are younger because that wouldn't be a fair comparison.

Brad Pitt

Leonardo DiCaprio

Keanu Reeves

Anyone want to play 'kiss, marry, kill'?

I'll start. I want to kiss and marry all three, kill none, really. But if I have to choose, I'd say, very reluctantly, kiss Brad, kill Leo, and marry Keanu. But that is a very very close list.

[invalid1]

Good question.
Keanu is the most expensive actor in the world, a lot goes back to his physical abilities in martial art or action movies. like the Matrix and John Wich. but other than that he remains not so better than other actors. I like Keanu, I admire the three. But I vote for Leo because he is incredible when it comes to displaying emotions , he can trick me to be angry, happy, sad, scared. he's so flexible in his roles.
While Brad Bit and Keanu seem more limited into one kind of character , In all movies Brad is always that tough brave guy, Keanu is always the invincible balanced and calm character. tell me about Leo, he makes me believe the scene and forget who he is, and what movies he acted in before. So definitely I think the voters weren't fair to Leo. :)

[AmandaYVR]

I've decided that I do think best actor should go to Leo. I could give many many examples of this, but we are know his roles.
What I will say is that the others are more dynamic than you give them credit for. I have seen a looot of movies. I study film. Watch Brad in Moneyball. And watch Keanu in Destination Wedding. These are lesser known, and fantastic.

[invalid1]

I added that to my "to watch" list. I've just recently discovered how to find movies based on directors' names. it turns out they also assert important fingerprints. I might have exaggerated in saying they have the same character in all movies, surely there are exceptions. Have you ever watched "Meet Joe Black"?

[AmandaYVR]

Absolutely. Who are your favourite directors? I could also talk about that all day. (Oh, Cameron Crowe, Steven Soderbergh, Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, Michael Mann, etc. etc. where would we be without you. You bring so much joy to my life.)
Yessss I have. Brad was fascinating in that. Definitely a different portrayal. And Anthony, walking off with death up the hill... wow.

[invalid1]

My favorite is Christopher Nolan and I think you know the weight of his works compared to the average Hollywood movie, also Darren Aronofsky, and number 3 alejandro gonzález iñárritu "the revenant" director, you've seen how this movie was directed, it's total art. and I am still on my way of discovering more and in the same time I honestly don't expect to find better ones than those two.
Joe Black was the most unique part for Brad. it's one hell of a movie.

[AmandaYVR]

Inception is a masterpiece. That editor should get major props too. For me, only the first Matrix compares, as far as a unique and abstract concept about space, dimension, and time travel. (I would give the edge overall to Matrix, but Inception is slightly more tight, visually, for me, though I love them both.)

I respect the directing for Revenant, but I always need more dialogue in movies, so even Leo's acting and that fantastic direction by Inarritu was not enough to make me really like it. It was too much visual cacophany for me, but I respect the choices, for sure. I do think all that non-spoken silence, and the depiction of a man's struggle to survive, on his own, under the harshest and most impossible of conditions, that is a story men can really relate to.

Have you seen Birdman? Alejandro Iñárritu's triumph. It's so absolutely fascinating in its direction, it's nearly impossible to choose one scene to best encapsulate it.
But I'm going with these two scenes. That was the real Times Square, and real crowd reactions, not paid extras.

Also have you ever seen a man eat cold cuts in a more fascinating way? I'll remember this for the rest of my life. (Sorry about the banner. Only way to show this scene. Go to 1:10:00.)

Keanu Reeves is such an amazing person, he is so kind, humble, wholesome and a really good person in general. He is really admirable and it's coming from someone who tends to hate celebrities.

[AmandaYVR]

So true.

"Last week, I read a report in the Times about the current conditions on Mt. Everest, where climbers have taken to shoving one another out of the way in order to take selfies at the peak, creating a disastrous human pileup. It struck me as a cogent metaphor for how we live today: constantly teetering on the precipice to grasp at the latest popular thing. The story, like many stories these days, provoked anxiety, dread, and a kind of awe at the foolishness of fellow human beings. Luckily, the Internet has recently provided us with an unlikely antidote to everything wrong with the news cycle: the actor Keanu Reeves.

Take, for instance, a moment, a few weeks ago, when Reeves appeared on “The Late Show” to promote “John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum,” the latest installment in his action-movie franchise. Near the end of the interview, Stephen Colbert asked the actor what he thought happens after we die. Reeves was wearing a dark suit and tie, in the vein of a sensitive mafioso who is considering leaving it all behind to enter the priesthood. He paused for a moment, then answered, with some care, “I know that the ones who love us will miss us.” It was a response so wise, so genuinely thoughtful, that it seemed like a rebuke to the usual canned blather of late-night television. The clip was retweeted more than a hundred thousand times, but, when I watched it, I felt like I was standing alone in a rock garden, having a koan whispered into my ear."

[YHL6965]

Just watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW9Vv_FZZic (7:52 long), it's just him being awesome and wholesome. I know it made my day when I watched this.

[Whatthefluff]

I'm judging based off what I know about their personality characteristics. In this order: Keanu, Leo, Brad.
Keanu privately donates a lot of his earnings, and he's experienced hardships in life but managed to stay optimistic (at least for others). Not like a lot of narcissistic celebrities we see.
Leo seems to be a decent person, I don't really know much about his off-screen persona except that he donated a large sum to Amazon Rainforest relief. I vaguely recall him doing a similar charitable act but am fuzzy on any details.
Brad Pitt also doesn't seem like a terrible person or anything, but I've heard that he was somewhat of a player and cheated or something. Still doesn't mean he's a bad person, though

[Screenwriter]

Keanu Reeves is a fair actor. He's mostly wooden in his roles. He's lucked out with vehicles that were tailor made to his limited range: The Matrices, Constantine, Devil's Advocate., 47 Ronin, Bill and Ted. However, DiCaprio and Pitt are excellent actors who've handled a wide variety of roles in several genres, WELL. They've also been nominated multiple times for Oscars, with Dicaprio taking home one of the big boys after six nominations. Pitt's been nominated five times. Keanu is not in their class. I'd give Pitt and DiCaprio a solid tie in the talent department. It's a gift to be able to watch them work.

[ask4any]

Keanu Reeves is so much more put together than the other 2 ALL TOGETHER. He's more humble, more private, more driven and probably more man than the other 2. Don't get me wrong, I do like the other 2 they have made great accomplishments. Keanu is just better. I might have a man-crush! Lol!

[AmandaYVR]

Honourary MHO to you.

[WhiteSandBeach]

Brad Pitt always. He’s the most handsome👑 I like his voice, his personality, humanitarian efforts and most of his movies. Very talented actor as well. I absolutely fell in love while watching the movie Troy, based on Greek mythology. He looked like a Greek God. Leonardo DiCaprio has never appealed to me for some reason. And I don’t know much about Keanu Reeves but physically, I’m not attracted to him.

[lyssagirl]

Keanu a. because the matrix was the shit. B. Because he's adorable and C. Because bradd pitt even if ur gorgeous cheating on a spouse still makes u look ugly.

[AmandaYVR]

He cheated? Awww man. Boo. When?

[lyssagirl]

On his first wife jennifer anniston with angelina jolie

[AmandaYVR]

Argh. Well at least I don't judge as harshly when they end up with them, the second person. Their relationship lasted many, many years. (I don't know how - I think she seems like a b****. Do you like her, or know anything about her? I prefer Jennifer much more.)

[lyssagirl]

I dont like any woman who sleeps with a married man n knows it

[SydneySentinel]

Leo is probably the best actor. Keanu is the one in the media for his acts of kindness. Sooooo

[SydneySentinel]

Brad Pitt is just meh.

[AmandaYVR]

Do you have a favourite role/character of Leo's?

[SydneySentinel]

Inception, Shutter Island, The Departed

[heythere3xx]

He was amazing in the Wolf of Wall Street !

[SydneySentinel]

Yes he was!!

[Whitewolf24]

Leo is by far the best actor and makes the best movies so him. Keanu seemslike the best person outside of the fame, more humble and what not.

[AmandaYVR]

Agreed.

[devilish-cutie]

geez this is so hard, depends on what i have to decide...

i dont find leo hot at all but as an actor i think he acts best
brad is hot but not really my type
keanu is also not my type and not that hot but he hot in brain you feel me lol

[SirRexington]

Easiest answer ever. Keanu Reeves. He is the perfect embodiment of a man.

[AmandaYVR]

Yes he is. His humility is perhaps the best of all his many traits.

https://youtu.be/wHHwE8Y-pqk

[GermanGuy87]

Wow really Keanu? I guess those John Wick movies were more popular than I thought

[AmandaYVR]

Yep they’re a huge hit. And he’s doing another one. And a new Matrix movie.

[GermanGuy87]

Talentwise I don't think any of them compare to Leo but that is also just my opinion

[Ice_Sirène]

Keanu. He’s been through a lot which has made him who he is as a person, and he’s very down to earth. John wick is pretty awesome as well, in my opinion the best movies he’s done

[psychosam]

Brad Pitt's cool as fuck, and I think a bit of a better actor than DiCaprio, great character actor. Keanu Reeves is an appalling actor

[AmandaYVR]

I keep coming back to this, 'cool as fuck". Agreed. He oozes cool. Thought about MHO. But you lost me on "appalling".

[sejla]

Keenu. It's more about his personality. He seems to have not let the industry inflate his ego at least that what it looks like from afar.

[Annie12234]

I would chosen Keanu Reeves because he is amazing actor and he can fight f**k karate 😂😍❤️

[GreciaJackson]

i don't know who to choose, either Bratt or Keanu are very attractive in my opinion

[NickiB]

I love all 3 but something about leo makes him the coolest

[JesseJayNeak]

Keanu's humbleness is what I like the most about him

[AmandaYVR]

Me too. He is an absolute sweetheart. He is a joy to listen to. He proves that more quiet, introverted people can still thrive in this industry of shameless self-promotion and vanity.

[Anpu23]

Brad Pitt is probably my favorite, followed by DiCaprio.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Mr. Reeves. From Bill and Ted to Point Break to The Matrix, etc. That man stays relevant! Also Cyberpunk 2077

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It's incredible how Keanu has an overwhelming lead over Brad & Leo in this poll.

[AmandaYVR]

He has a cult-like following, for sure. I think all of them are stellar guys though.

[PrudentGuy]

Ok, how about me (see profile pic)? Real, no make over.

[AmandaYVR]

No, previous profile pic was better. Just get someone to take another one where you look friendlier again. No cell phone or headphone cable this time. You won't get as good a positive impression from this one. You look more aggressive.

[PrudentGuy]

LOL! Wow! You're a good image consultant.

I usually undressed or else over.

If I really want to "kill", I would probably show myself in Armani.

Maybe when in a week's time LOL!

[AmandaYVR]

Lol, thank you. Yes, I would be good at helping people with their dating life and online profiles.
Armani would be good, or very cool outfit with some kind of layering with sportjacket over cool, graphic edgy t-shirt, etc. Also, outdoor photos get great feedback, especially for men.

[PrudentGuy]

Oh but I Chinese from South East Asia. No chance with young chicks here who are mostly from the USA due to distance.

But I'll get my girl in the real world. Nothing online beats a real body 😛😛😛

[PrudentGuy]

And hey, sexy mama! I don't think you're 46. 😘

[AmandaYVR]

Yeah, this is not a dating site. But if you're going to put up a real photo, might as well be a nice one.
Yes, nothing beats IRL.

[Jjpayne]

Keanu I've heard he's a pretty cool guy

[AmandaYVR]

Yeah, he's like a God of Reddit. I'm not exaggerating.

[cirno]

Keanu reeves is breathtaking so he's the best!

[AmandaYVR]

Check him out in one of his latest but lesser known, 'Destination Wedding'. He's a total grump, but hang with them, you will like the ending. 😉

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6987770/reference

[AmandaYVR]

This is a very very dark romantic comedy. Different than most. Want to see Keanu surly?

[COMMODOREII]

Sean Connery 😜😎

[AmandaYVR]

He's great too, but older than the rest so I would have to pit him against some different guys. But he was my favourite Bond by far.

[COMMODOREII]

Ok so someone who won't kill over. Hmmm.

Stephen Colbert

😁

[AmandaYVR]

Kill over?

[COMMODOREII]

He is about 80 isn't he?

[AmandaYVR]

Oooh, 'keel over'.
89! Daaang good for him. It will be a sad, sad day when he's gone.

[COMMODOREII]

Well since i prefer girls. I'll pick kiss angeline jolie, marry gal gadot, and kill my ex. 😎

[AmandaYVR]

You Kobayashi'd my game, but alright! Point for you.

[COMMODOREII]

I love Star Trek. 😀😎

[Vaelthor]

How can anyone not say Keanu? 😂

[Sweatyotterr]

I have always liked brad Pitt

[Loving_Husband]

Brad Pitt for sure!

[Loving_Husband]

Kiss Keanu, kill Leo and definitely marry Brad

[AmandaYVR]

Lmao. Thanks for playing. You get a 'you are definitely not homophobic' participation award.
(I was reaaaally close to saying marry Brad. He's my baby, always has been. But he might be too much of an extroverted handful for me.)

[Loving_Husband]

Thanks ☺️ And Brad is gorgeous. Yes I'm a straight guy saying that but it's the truth

[AshleyMadison00]

Plays great characters and portray them well

[AmandaYVR]

Who?

[tara987]

Leo bae

[OfDeath]

Keanu is the more masculine than the other two.

[AmandaYVR]

That's very interesting. What makes you say that?

[OfDeath]

The fact that he is. His personality, his hobbies and his movies.
Reeves was an MVP for am Ice Hockey team. Once had a job sharpening ice skates. He owns a military motorcycle. He can ride a horse bareback. He played base guitar in a grunge band and he knows hundreds of martial arts moves.

Leonardo DiCaprio enjoys his doll collection and Brad Pitt likes interior decorating.

[AmandaYVR]

Keanu is very masculine, but so are the other two. They've both had many people, women and men, drawn to them. Brad has been a good family man and father to many adopted kids. There's nothing wrong with having an interest in real estate and the interiors of those spaces. He appreciates craftsmanship such as in well made furniture. Leo has been with many of the most desireable women on the planet, not to mention he cares about the actual planet, fighting for the environment and donating his time and money towards his beliefs. Keanu's love died tragically, as well as others in his life (River Phoenix's drug overdose on Sunset Blvd.), so he's had more time by himself, which has made him a deeply insightful and sensitive person. They're all great. Your ideas of masculinity are narrow.

[OfDeath]

Keanu is more masculine than the other two

[OfDeath]

I mean, am I wrong? Are we going to split hairs here?

[AmandaYVR]

I don't agree that he is clearly 'more' masculine, as we're comparing him to two other very masculine guys too. He's actually the more soft-spoken and shy of the three. So there's hobbies, interests, and there's manner, style, personality, etc etc. But it really doesn't matter. This is just supposed to be a light, fun question with no definitive answer, so we're good. I think all of these guys are awesome and I don't like debating so I'm not going to split hairs, no.

[OfDeath]

He has better impulse control than the other two. That's what you are seeing as "soft spokenness and shyness".
Impulse control is part of logical reasoning which is an extremely masculine trait.
Brad Pitt has dummy spite and acts like a pretentious brat. He's a loose cannon. Basically he is a bitch. Not masculine at all. Leo on the other hand is a bit better held together but he isn't the action star Keanu is.

[AmandaYVR]

"Impulse control is part of logical reasoning which is an extremely masculine trait"? Gtf outta here. Then why do men start the fights in the world and are responsible for most of the violent/i. e. impulsive crimes? Testosterone, which is associated with masulinity. But actually, it's b. s. Men who lose their hair on their head, for instance, actually have more testosterone, not less, yet they are not thought of as being 'more' masculine.

No, I'm speaking of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHHwE8Y-pqk&t=451s

But just to be clear, I do not want to rate any of the three men on how masculine they are. It sounds like a slight to the other two, and men are more than just labels. And don't be talking smack about my Brad or Leo. They're all great men. Clearly, you do want to argue.

[OfDeath]

You started the argument

[00100100100]

Keanu only because of the matrix.
