Keanu Reeves opens up on life lesson he got from bike racing
Los Angeles, July 13
Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves, who is known for his work in the 'John Wick' movies, has spoken up on the spiritual benefits of racing.
The actor, 61, and custom bike builder Gard Hollinger are putting their bikes to the test in the new docuseries 'Hooligans: The ARCH Racing Project', reports 'People' magazine.
It follows the friends and business partners as their company competes in the Super Hooligan National Championship. The streamer premiered the first of six episodes on July 12.
Keanu Reeves said that partnering with Hollinger was an easy decision, as he said, "Gard built an amazing custom motorcycle, and when I rode it, I was like 'That needs to be in the world'".
He went on, "I love riding motorcycles, telling stories and being part of something. All of that happened in a beautiful way".
As per 'People', through the docuseries, Reeves and Hollinger hope to give viewers a deeper appreciation for motorcycle racing and the people behind the helmets.
Hollinger said, "You see an athlete in a suit wearing a helmet, and hopefully this is an opportunity for you to meet the human beings behind it, hear their stories, what they have gone through and how challenging it is to get to that level in the sport".
Keanu Reeves told 'People', "It's about building a team, ambition, vision, creating something you love, sharing it with the world and overcoming challenges. It's American tradition".
The pair are happy to see motorsports receiving more mainstream attention, thanks to films like 'F1' starring Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. Hollinger said, "I enjoyed the movie. I thought there were some great visuals".
"What we do is a little more humble. But I could be the team owner. I'll be Javier Bardem", the actor added.

I love how Keanu is so down-to-earth despite being a Hollywood superstar. The way he talks about building a team and overcoming challenges – that's pure Indian management philosophy, yaar. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🏍️
Honestly, this docuseries sounds interesting but I wish they'd feature more diverse perspectives. Keanu calling it "American tradition" feels a bit narrow – motorcycle racing is huge in Asia too. We have our own legendary riders in India who deserve similar spotlight. But still, respect for Keanu's passion.
Keanu Reeves talking about the spiritual side of racing? That's so beautiful! In our Indian philosophy, we believe in "karma yoga" – finding divinity in action. Whether it's bike racing or any work done with full dedication, that's a form of meditation. Love this perspective! ✨
The way Keanu says "creating something you love, sharing it with the world" – that's the essence of any passion project. I remember when I built my first motorcycle from spare parts in Bengaluru, it was the same feeling. Respect to Keanu for staying so genuine even after all these years.
Keanu Reeves is a true philosopher-king! 😄 His point about building a team and overcoming challenges is something we can all learn from. In India's startup culture, we need more of this mindset – not just chasing success but loving the process. Will definitely watch this docuseries.
