The story behind

Geno Reeves’ own experience was more unfortunate than any of the characters he has played.

Not long after he was born, Levi and his mother were abandoned by his Hawaiian father, who was half-Chinese. Since then, Levi's mother has married three more times and given birth to two younger sisters. One of them has a congenital mental retardation and has no ability to work. She still relies on her star brother to make money for support.

Kino Reeves has not been a good boy since he was a child, drinking, fighting, and taking drugs. When he was fourteen, his best friend died of a drug overdose in his arms. Fourteen-year-old Geno Levis used strong self-control that was seriously inconsistent with his age to get rid of drug addiction, and he has never touched it again since then.

After becoming famous, Geno Reeves got a loving girlfriend, and they lived together like a couple of gods. However, fate did not favor this man with such pure eyes. Two years ago, in his When his child was about to be born, his girlfriend suddenly died in a car accident, killing one and two. Levi immediately became the loneliest man in the world.

This is not the end yet. Last year, Levis, who was filming, suddenly received the news that his healthy sister was suffering from leukemia and would die soon. Reeves stumbled over and rushed to his sister's side after finishing the film, hiding out of sight of the world. He personally cooked for his sister, cleaned up her room and took out the trash every day, and stayed with her through her illness.

If you don’t understand this, you can’t understand why Levis, as a Hollywood A-list star, does not have a fixed residence—let alone a mansion. Geno Levis lives a semi-wandering life like this.

He drank, rode on his beloved horse and raced at the speed of life and death in the middle of the night. Like a real tramp, he wrapped newspapers and found a sheltered place to lie down and sleep without a fixed abode. If he accepts a good script, he must be the best actor on the entire set - and also a "little worker", carrying equipment, nailing props, delivering lunch boxes, and doing whatever work is required. When he couldn't find a script he liked, he took his terrible "Sirius" band to "tour" everywhere. Wherever he went, there was often a scene like this: the performance started, and the fans in the audience screamed for him crazily. Yelling, female fans kept throwing bras and underwear on the stage, but when the Sirius guys started singing, the things thrown up quickly turned into tomatoes and wine bottles. Geno Reeves was not annoyed, and the bass in his hand fluttered left and right. Block and hit the tomatoes back like a really good baseball player. The smile at that time was a real smile, with wrinkles all over his face.

Geno Reeves may be the most "un-Hollywood" among Hollywood stars.

It is rare to see him at grand banquets, and there has never been any news that he had a dispute with his collaborators over the pay and roles. However, a film that originally promised him a supporting role ended up cutting him behind his back. He became the protagonist and promoted it in his name. Geno Reeves did not file a lawsuit to ask for the protagonist's share of the money. He just refused to participate in any form of publicity for this film. This man who has witnessed so many lives and deaths may really disdain these worldly pursuits of fame and fortune. He should have his own joys and sorrows.

The role that Gino Reeves, who has a special liking for Shakespeare's plays, most longs to play is Rimbaud, the poet who wrote the long poem "Ophelia", but unfortunately he has never been able to do so. I sincerely hope that the 44-year-old can get the chance to play the talented poet who died in a foreign country at the age of 37 as soon as possible. For no other reason than for this man. Although he is not a dazzling psychic poet, he has always been the most loyal to himself. The inner way, on the earth, runs poetically, with a steady gait.
