Keanu Reeves has proven once again that he's one of the best people in showbiz after kneeling before fans as they gave him a standing ovation.

Reeves, 58, is set to appear in the upcoming movie John Wick: Chapter 4 and has headed to a promotional event in Brazil to take part in a discussion panel, per the Daily Mail.

The event CCXP 22 (formerly Comic Con Experience) was held in Sao Paulo on Saturday, three weeks after it was announced that Reeves wasn't done with John Wick just yet.

The much-loved actor is set to star opposite actress Ana de Armas in the John Wick spinoff film Ballerina, which reportedly began filming three weeks ago.

The Cuban-born actress began shooting in Prague, after taking over the role of Rooney from Unity Phelan, who played the character in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

During the discussion panel, Reeves treated the audience to enthralling stories about his work, getting very animated as he did so.

And of course, there was the moment when the actor got to his hands and knees as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Check out the sweet moment below:

John Wick is an action-packed movie series that has received large acclaim from fans and critics. The Daily Mail reports that the first installment in 2014 didn't light up the box office, earning $86 million on a budget of $20-30 million.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) had a budget of $40 million, but was a box office hit, almost doubling its predecessor's takings at $171.5 million.

Noticing that the movies were generating widespread interest, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) had a budget of $75 million, and it took the box office by storm, generating $327.3 million worldwide.

The fourth installment has a budget of $90 million, and only time will tell if it will continue the upward trend of the popularity of the movie series.

Reeves will return as John Wick in the spin-off as a supporting character, but there is no word as to when this will be released.
