“Oh how we will miss this man…,” Meg started her post, which features a photo of her and Rob dancing on set.
“Thank you, Rob and Michelle, for the way you believe in true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter. Thank you for your faith in the best in people, and for your profound love of our country,” she continued. “I have to believe that their story will not end with this impossible tragedy, that some good may come, some awareness raised… I don’t know, but my guess is that they would want that to be hopeful and humane, to be something that brings us all to a greater understanding of one another and to some peace.”
If you didn’t know, Rob actually had the ending to When Harry Met Sally changed after he met Michele during filming.
“It was going to be the two of them seeing each other after years, talking and then walking away from each other,” he recalled in an interview with CNN‘s Chris Wallace.
“Because I had been married for 10 years, I’d been single for 10 years and I couldn’t figure out how I was ever going to be with anybody,” he said, adding, “and that gave birth to When Harry Met Sally.”
“I met my wife Michele, who I’ve been married to now 35 years, I met her while we were making the film, and I changed the ending,” Rob shared.
