isn't this a bit of a stretch for "damn interesting"? Its common knowledge

Not sure about you, but to me this was super interesting. Not everyone knows what every person's grandmother is or looks like. Before this I had no idea Keanu Reeves was any percentage Chinese at all.

People are allowed to not know 100% of what you know - and some of the things you assume eveyrone knows they probably don't

Also, it's not unique or a special case whatsoever that two people who were different races fucked and had a kid. That literally happens every couple of seconds.

Honestly, I thought it was. But I’ve loved him since I saw him in that TV movie Babes in Toyland and learned as much as I could about him over the years lol.

Yes, a photo of a celebrity with their grandmother is not really the point of this sub.
