Keanu Reeves Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker Who Brought DNA Testing Kit To Prove They Are Related

One of the biggest drawbacks of fame? Celebrity stalkers. Taylor Swift once had a stalker who drove from Colorado to her Beverly Hills home with a knife while Keira Knightley's stood outside of her door meowing at her. There are some other bizarre situations in which stalkers believe they have some connection to their favorite star. For example, Lindsay Lohan’s stalker believed they were married, and most recently, Keanu Reeves revealed that he has a stalker who thinks they are relatives.

Reeves reportedly went to the extent of hiring a private security team to investigate Dixon, who regularly posts on social media that he and Reeves are blood relatives. He refers to himself as "Jasper Keith Reeves" and has set out to assign all of his personal "rights" to Keanu and put the actor in "charge" of him.
