Keanu Reeve’s alleged stalker
The man allegedly tried to break into Reeves’ home late last year, and the next day, he returned with what the Hollywood Reporter called a “suspicious and alarming backpack,” which contained a DNA test kit and a note insisting that the man and Reeves are related, in hopes that the actor would take it,

The LAPD claims that the man has made at least six “unwanted appearances” during the past three months. He is said to have returned a few times after then, including one time when he allegedly climbed a fence to get to Reeves’ house.
Despite the fact that the man already has a criminal record and a history of breaking and entering, Reeves and the man have never before been involved in any court proceedings.
