The actor detailed how his mum’s passing went saying, “Everyone who was close to my mother and my family, who lived in that area who could make it, they were in the room with her when she passed”.
“I’ve heard people say, “surrounded by their loved ones”, when they died, and in my mother’s case, it was certainly true”.
