I found this interview with Emma, her condition sounds hoorifying:

Also they've been friends for 16 years! Incredible.

it just sounds like something that's been concocted by an utter sociopath. blisters on your tongue when you try to eat? cool! skin cancer that means you lose limbs? neat! she's so strong for refusing to give up and for turning to advocacy, and also, yeah, i love that this is ride or die for him, its not about PR or photo ops, its from a genuine place of care for his friend.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

If I recall he was a bit of a mess in his younger days. Nice to see him turn it around to become an amazing person.

He had a serious substance abuse problem for several years. But I think him becoming a father is what motivated him to get help.

Between this and how outspoken he has been about his son, etc., I cannot help but love him (he's also a great actor and fine af)

My niece has the same condition his son has and due to his activism I already had a rough idea of what to expect. My sister-in-law has been posting a lot about his foundation and I’m just so grateful he’s opened up so much for AS
