20 Actor Nationalities You've Been Getting Wrong All Your Life

14. Jim Carrey

"I don't know why I know that Jim Carrey is American, but of course he's American. In every single movie, ever, he's American. There's absolutely no reason to assume otherwise. I hope you're happy. Good night, sir, and don't call here again." Hold Your Horses...Jim Carrey was actually born in Ontario, Canada, though the general movie population at large tend to assume the man's an American because it's rarely asserted otherwise. He became a US citizen in 2004, 'cause why not?

13. Keanu Reeves

"This dude is totally American, man... American accent, American, uh, mannerisms. Then again, he could be from, like, anywhere, I guess, so go on, make me look stupid again." All Right, We Will... Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon. And here's where it gets a little confusing. His mother is English-born, whereas his father is an Hawaiian-born American... though Reeves is listed as being Canadian, because the family moved their when he was a kid. Yes, the man's heritage is just as muddled as his acting career.
