He’s starred in his share of spooky films.

And it turns out in real life Keanu Reeves has had his own experience with the supernatural.

While asked by Jimmy Kimmel during his late-night show on Wednesday evening if he’d ever seen a ghost, the 50-year-old actor replied, “Yes, when I was a kid. I was in New York – I was probably like six or seven years old, new apartment, we’d come from Australia.”

The 50-year-old star also admitted he has met very few people who share his unusual first name, and the first person he met also named Keanu was a family member.

Asked if he has met other Keanus, he said: “Yes, I have a cousin. There’s a cousin Keanu.

“I didn’t meet that guy until I was eight or nine so I’d never heard that name for another human until that time.”

Keanu certainly has his plate full, with a total of five films slated in 2015 or 2016.

Among them is The Whole Truth, a drama that sees a lawyer attempting to clear his teenage client’s name of murder.

Meanwhile fans will soon be able to see Keanu share the screen with Alfie Allen in the upcoming thriller John Wick, which will hit US theatres on Friday.

The film saw it’s premiere in New York City earlier in October.
