Fans are used to Keanu Reeves playing characters that kill their enemies.
So it’s no wonder that scientists in Germany named a group of new fungus-killing compounds after him: keanumycins.
Scientists hope it can kill fungus known to threaten crops and treat fungal infections in humans.
“The lipopeptides kill so efficiently that we named them after Keanu Reeves because he, too, is extremely deadly in his roles,” Sebastian Götze, the lead author of the study on the killer, said in a statement.
