Keanu Reeves was introduced to show business at a young age, thanks to his mom. Patricia Taylor was a costume designer who worked for mega-stars such as David Bowie. Taylor's industry connections meant that Keanu had run-ins with plenty of famous folks as a kid, including Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, per Esquire, and while Reeves and his sister, Kim, "were frequently left to fend for themselves," they did occasionally have babysitters, like Alice Cooper. Yes, Alice Cooper was Keanu Reeves' babysitter.

"I grew up in Toronto and I lived on this street called Hazelton and there was a recording studio there called Nimbus 9 and my mother was in costume design, she was in rock 'n' roll, in the business, and they had friends and she had friends, and so Alice Cooper — I'm told — babysat me," Reeves said while sitting down for an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2017. "I don't know how that could possibly happen, but it did ... Supposedly."

That doesn't mean Reeves' mom wasn't necessarily a wild woman. When asked how he's like his mother, the actor admitted, "[S]he's English. There's a formality to her. So, I think partly some of my kind of formality. I would say that. Yeah." A formal (former?) costume designer who has A-list acquaintances? This is one intriguing lady!
