If by condescending you mean he gave a significant portion of his very hefty paycheck to the costume and special effects people on the Matrix movies because he felt they did the 'heavy lifting', then I hope he spends the rest of his career condescending to those with lower income, OP.
Gotta be a troll, right?

He also deferred his paychecks from both The Devil's Advocate and The Replacements so production could afford to hire Al Pacino and Gene Hackman respectively.
How many A-list actors, or hell, actors in general, would do that just because they could afford to?
I'm practically half in love with him just based on that alone, never mind his looks. His priorities are in order, he has manners, and he looks like that. Dude's just about the perfect man in my eyes.

"he played hamlet at the theatre where i work! it was in the mid 90's and way before i started working there, but everyone that met him and worked with him on that production has nothing but great things to say about him. on the last day of the show he personally delivered thank you notes to every single staff, cast, and crew member, and he used to always bring coffee or random snacks like donuts or cupcakes for everyone. andrew lloyd webber never, ever brought me coffee when he was working here. i think someone could learn a lesson from flawless keanu."
"Hi, I have had a hard time getting on here. My niece loves Keanu and wanted me to get on here and tell people how I met him and how nice he was. I met him a few years ago, I was a flight attendant on his flight leaving Chicago. He was such a nice guy that he gave up his isle seat so a mother and little girl could sit together and he took a middle seat. He had played a concert with Becky Band and they were on their way home. They were all very nice. Keanu talked to us for a long time. He was all scruffy and looked very handsome that way. He was surprisingly very down to earth and genuine. Only a few passengers bothered him and one asked for a picture. He gave us all autographs and did not seem offended by our asking."

"He is a class act. I saw him in the train station in the city and he was helping some family out with directions. The family didn’t know he was famous and the family barely spoke English yet he was there trying to help them out. He seems like a geniunely cool guy and yes i wanted to go over to him so bad but chickened out."

“Throwaway account because I don’t want anyone to figure out who I am, because I know I will get fired. I work at a very well known hotel and we get a lot of celebrities. When I first started working there is was pretty amazing, then you get to see that most of these people are total a-holes. They always get their way, so you can never say “no” in fact it’s a rule that we never say the “n” word, we apologize and say something else. Anyways, Keanu has been to our hotel several times, and he is the only guy that actually remembered my name, after about the 4th time checking him in! “Wait, don’t tell me….Ashley right?” (not my real name :p), it was so cool, he has a great smile :) And a great sense of humor, he’s also the most down to earth person, doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder. Anyways he came in really early one time and his room wasn’t ready, I told him we could switch it, but he said he would wait the 10 min or so until it was ready (no one ever waits and it was just bad timing). Anyways, this VP from a very well known corporation comes down with his daughter, basicly dragging her behind him, she’s crying and holding her doll, he tells her to “shut up and go wait for your mom over there”, he tells us he was late for a meeting and his wife would be back from shopping to get her soon so he wanted us to watch her. I called security over and a couple of guys kept a close eye on her (this happens alot). Anyways, Keanu saw the whole thing and started making funny faces at her, she started smiling and then after a few minutes he was playing peek-a-boo with the little girl for like 5 min. Then I kid you not, for the next 45min until the mom showed up he was listening to this little girl talk about her doll and describe all the things they do together. She had no clue who he was, it was so funny. The mom showed up and she ran over because they had to leave, but she whispered something into her moms ear then ran back and gave him a big hug and left. Then he finally checked in when she left. I’ve told the story so many times, he’s treated as royalty here now.”

Keanu didn't donate his paycheck of US$32 million to the costume and special effects people; he donated it to the costume and special effects department of the Matrix sequels, because they had gone over budget and otherwise wouldn't have been able to finish the film.
...then again, the source (http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2003_0605_kea2.htm) for that claim is Fox News. :\ But I think it was legit and that there were others supporting the same claim.
However, from a 2003 interview reported by multiple sources:
The first question came up about the money Keanu put back on the movie in order for it to better come under budget. "What I did was I put part of what was given in my contract to create a pool, so that other people who don't usually do profit participation could see some money," Reeves replied succinctly. So, why did you do this? "Because I wanted to."
- source (http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2003_0514_kea3.htm).
So it's possible that two separate incidents got conflated over the course of media reporting.
He did, however, definitely buy a Harley Davidson for each of the 12 stunt men who worked with him on Reloaded.
whatever it is, Keanu is awesome. :D
