How sweet and tender! And also quite meta that the film that brought him success and gave him a chance to meet her is all about letters! Magic ✨

At 14 he wrote more beautifully than I could ever aspire to! And that their paths later crossed...magical!

He has always been amazingly open - great to read this. I'd like to think that he responds to any messages he gets from 14year olds now!
