Keanu Reevesis enjoying sibling time with his younger sister Kim Reeves.
With Hollywood at a standstill due to the ongoing parallel strikes of theWriters Guild of AmericaandSAG-AFTRA, the two set sail around the Italian island of Capri together, enjoying their one-on-one time while sipping champagne.
In several photos, the 58-year-oldJohn Wickstar was seen sporting a navy shirt over a gray T-shirt and khaki board shorts before going shirtless to soak up the sun. Kim, 56, wore a peach-colored caftan decorated with a print of the Buddha.
Over the years, the two have always been incredibly close. “My brother is my prince,” Kim toldPEOPLEin 1995. “He listens to every word, to every comma after every word, that you are saying.”
When Kim,who is also an actor, was diagnosed with leukemia in 1991, Keanu dropped everything to nurse his sibling back to health, even moving closer to her so he could oversee her care. She battled the disease for a decade before going into remission.

“Keanu helped me so much through my illness,” Kim told Australian magazineWoman’s Dayin 1999. “When the pain got really bad, he would sit with me and hold my hand, and keep the ‘bad man’ from making me dance. He was supporting me and comforting me all the time, even when he was away.”
TheMatrixstar later set up a nonprofit organization to raise money for cancer research.
“I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research,” he toldLadies Home Journalin 2009. “I don’t like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.”
