Unlike some celebrities, he doesn't mind spending some time with his fans to chat, sign autographs or have a photo taken.

Like any other member of the public Reeves had turned up to see a new movie but Dator was a little star struck and forgot to ask him for an autograph but the story didn't end there.

@James_Dator @Dave_Maynor I love that. What does it cost to remain a real, decent human? Not much.... maybe some carbs.
