I’ve been a huge fan ever since “Juno” and - in real life - get nervous around people I adore. So I’ve just enjoyed his work - films & docs - from afar. Next time I’m not only saying hi, I’m saying “Thank you.” ❤️— Ross Mathews (@helloross) December 1, 2020 7 / 11 Patricia Arquette Sending you love and support!— Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) December 1, 2020 8 / 11 Mia Farrow Wishing you every blessing and happiness as you begin your new adventure dear Elliot!!
