I always felt like there’s this magic about him, like the child in him brings out the child in everyone around him. He doesn’t know how to give up no matter what life throws at him. He’s here to play and he trusts his heart. It was fascinating playing him and I felt a change as human being, He gave me a more open perspective to life.
