‘That’s a wrap on Kurt Russell for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I’ll admit I’m welling up a bit,’

‘It’s not often your heroes are as awesome in person as you believed they were as a kid. A wonderful guy and incredible actor in every way. And he was nice to my Mom, Dad, and dog. I couldn’t ask for anything more,’ he said.

He then added on twitter:

And that’s a wrap on Kurt Russell on #GOTGVol2. A true talent and pleasure in every way. I will admit to a small tear in my eye.
