Keanu Reeves gets star on Hollywood walk

Reeves, 40, was honoured with the star Monday for a career that includes such films as the action thrillers Speed and Point Break, the romances Something's Gotta Give and A Walk in the Clouds and the dramas Little Buddha and My Own Private Idaho. His star was placed along Hollywood Boulevard near the spot where some action scenes in Speed were filmed.

The honour came two weeks before the release of Reeves' next movie, Constantine, adapted from the DC Comics series. Reeves stars as the title character, a man with visions of angels and devils on Earth who battles to dispatch demons back to the underworld.
