Glad he recovered!! That must have been terrifying.

that's terrifying. the fact that we still don't know the long term implications makes it even worse

I can’t imagine going through chemo AND covid. I’m very glad he’s doing well today.

I still pretty much wear my mask everywhere. I don’t care what ppl think. My mom’s chemo was brutal. I think of her a lot, and others like her, when I wear it

(Disabled, not a cancer survivor) I am so grateful for people like you. You may get pushback from some people but a lot of us appreciate it.

God my stomach sunk just seeing his name in a headline. I'm so glad that he's well enough to be working now and hope he stays in good health.

When I tell you my mom would be devastated...she's got nearly all his movies, his photobooks, an autographed photo he sent because she posted on his web forum so much. It's cute, it's next level, and he's not allowed to die.

Oh, your mom would have to fight my mom. She used to shush me when his Duracell commercials came on. I told her to make sure to get the new People mag, haha. 💕
