Jim Carrey recently gushed that Keanu Reeves is “the man that every man aspires to be” — and the feeling is mutual!
Keanu, 60, has “huge respect” for his Sonic the Hedgehog 3 costar, 63, says a source. “It’s a little insane that it took 30 years for these two icons to find each other, work together and build a real friendship, but better late than never.”

The stars certainly have a lot in common. “They both started out when they were teenagers, found mega success and made tens of millions of dollars in the ’90s. Since then, they’ve gone through insane family tragedies and all kinds of ups and downs,” says the source.
“Jim was ready to retire three years ago, and he’s completely reversed that position since he and Keanu became friends. Keanu is an incredibly loyal guy, and he’s been helping Jim get back on track.”

Keanu is even helping Jim find love. Keanu and his girlfriend of six years, Alexandra Grant, “are hoping to set him up on a few dates.”
In the meantime, they’re enjoying their bromance. “They’re definitely going to make another movie together, but the friendship is what’s really important. They’re really rooting for each other.”
