It was really nice to see her. My favorite moment was when she smeared salmon on her face while filming A Cinderella Story and talked about omegas. My son started eating sushi when he was about 3 and had a similar moment, and I looked at him and thought, ‘You’re just smearing raw salmon on your face.’ And it was soft and he liked it, then it reminded me of her. She is simply everything. She’s always been a lovely person, but I’m so proud to witness her moment. I think it reminds me that, working in this industry, I feel really lucky because anything can happen at any time. It’s fantastic”.
