Keanu Reeves has been granted a temporary restraining order against a man who allegedly made multiple unwanted appearances at his home — and slept in his garden.
The Hollywood star, pictured, known for his roles in The Matrix and John Wick franchises, said the alleged incidents had caused him to be “substantially alarmed, annoyed, and distressed”.
In court documents, Reeves claimed that 38-year-old Brian Keith Dixon had visited his Los Angeles County property six times, once sleeping in the actor’s back garden.
The incidents had occurred between November of last year and January, he said. The documents also stated that on the second visit, Dixon had left a backpack on the property which contained “bizarre” items including a DNA testing kit inside.
Dixon had also posted “incoherently and alarmingly on social media, referring to himself as ‘Jasper Keith Reeves’, apparently indicating his belief that he and Mr Reeves are relatives,” the papers stated.
In his own statement Reeves said: “Over the last few months, there have been multiple incidents in which the respondent visited my home uninvited, trespassed onto my property, sought access to my home and sought to contact me.
“I understand that there is an ongoing criminal investigation against the respondent due to his disturbing conduct.
“The respondent’s harassing, disturbing and threatening actions, which are ongoing, are causing me to be substantially alarmed, annoyed, and distressed, including because I want to protect my partner and friends who reside or spend time at my home.”
The restraining order was granted until February 24, the date of a court hearing into the matter. It states that Dixon must remain 100 yards away from Reeves at all times.
In 2014, a female intruder reportedly wandered into Reeves’s home and was discovered by a cleaning team.
They spotted her inside but only realised she was an intruder after she stripped, took a shower and then started swimming.
That incident came just two days after the star confronted another woman in his home after a cleaning company was said to have left the front gate open.
Reeves was said to have been woken at around 4am by noises coming from the library.
After getting out of bed, he was said to have come face to face with the woman in her mid-40s who had broken in and sat in his chair.
