The man behind the "Sad Keanu" meme has truly had to overcome tragedy in his life.
After his move to Los Angeles, the young actor faced a series of losses, including the death of his friend River Phoenix in 1993. Then, in his mid-30s, Keanu and his girlfriend at the time, Jennifer Syme, suffered an unbearable loss when she gave birth eight months into her pregnancy and the couple's child was stillborn. Roughly a year and a half later, Syme also died in a car accident.

At the time, a source revealed: "Keanu is absolutely devastated over losing Lance. He had a huge amount of respect for him as a friend and thought of him as one of the kindest sweetest guys he’d ever had the fortune to meet."
