“It was thrilling to have him around, especially on camera,” Steenburgen says of Feig.
I ruined quite a few takes from laughing because of him.
We had the best time together.”
Steenburgen says with a laugh.
“I’ve done it maybe 20 times too.
Peter is just one of my dear friends, I love him so much.
The idea of him not being there, nobody had to work at any tears.
Honestly, we had to work atstoppingthe tears.
And that’s the truth.
I still don’t even accept it.
No, you have to figure out a way for Peter to be there somehow.
He’s just such a part of all of this and a part of all of our hearts.
He’s so special.”
I think people will connect in a very deep way because of this.”
