‘He like came out, and I didn’t expect his hair to be like a little white. I knew his hair was long but I didn’t expect it to be white,’ Caleb said.

Elijah asked the actor to sign an autograph for him, but he wanted something else: a game of catch.

‘And when I got his signature and my brother got his signature, I asked him if he could play catch with me,’ Elijah said.

‘I asked him the first time and he kind of mumbled something. But I didn’t hear him so I asked him again and he said “yeah come on lets go,”‘ Elijah recalled.

The actor and young boy spent a half minute or so playing catch by the band’s tour bus, more than two decades afer Reeves played a quarterback in the 2000 film The Replacements.

‘I was really nervous because I was playing catch with a famous superstar,’ Elijah said, adding it was, ‘the top moment’ of his young life.

Annette added, ‘I was surprised he did it, and then he said, “hey, he’s got a great spiral.” I’m like thanks. I said, “that’s a day he’s always going to remember.”‘

Elijah’s older brother Caleb didn’t play catch with Reeves, but he did take a selfie with the star.
