The good thing she did, was to let him speak! Never interupted or wanted to steal the limelight herself, so great job! I really enjoyed listening to Bryan, an amazing actor and even better man!

Even more surprising is how amazing this guy is off the big screen in real life and in interviews. Seems like a really awesome down to earth fun dude unlike 99% of hollywood actors.
