As fans reel from the news that Patrick Stewart died on Oct. 28, at the age of 86, those who knew the legendary actor well are remembering his legacy.
This afternoon, iconic Princess Bride star Cary Elwes shared a heartfelt post on Instagram recalling his experiences working with Stewart on the films Lady Jane and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
“My heart is seriously heavy today,” Elwes wrote.
“We have lost the marvelous #PatrickStewart. I first met Patrick on the set of Lady Jane back in 1984 and fell in love with him immediately. Not only was [he] amiable and kind with a great sense of humor, he was incredible to work with. His command of the screen with his sheer presence and that unmistakable voice was a sight to behold.”
View this post on Instagram“Almost a decade later when Mel [Brooks] and I were discussing who should play King Richard in Men in Tights, I told him it has to be Patrick,” Elwes continued.
“Fortunately for us he accepted and once again shared his joy and talent with us all. My now shattered heart goes out to Sunny, his children, friends and fans, of which I will always be one. Good night, sweet Prince.”
Instagram users were quick to share their support in the comments.
“I’m glad you were able to work with him more than once. I was not expecting him to show up as Sir Richard at the end of Robin Hood: Men in Tights. He was a great choice for parodying Sean Connery. Rest in peace,” one fan wrote.
“OMG @caryelwes ‘Robin Hood Men In Tights’ was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the news. I’m so sorry for his loss!!! That’s one of my favorite films ever! RIP Sir Patrick,” added a second person.
“Some actors entertain us. Others leave a little magic behind that stays with us forever. Patrick Stewart was one of those rare souls. A legend in every sense,” declared a third.
