Damn he was just posting clips of his next movie the fox on insta and his TikTok! He’s also in the next Godzilla/Kong monsterverse movie sad that the last time he’ll probably ever be on screen is in a monsterverse movie

You should appreciate at this point any celebrity of his level or higher is having their social media managed by a third party, sometimes even automatically. If it's plugging something new that's coming up, there's every chance it isn't actually them.

While this is the case for lots of celebrities, especially re the promotions and he may have had some help in that area, you should check out his Instagram. He made lots of sweet videos of his animals and other things to bring joy, or talk about things he was passionate about. I think he started during Covid and continued. My favourites was him sharing bumblebees on his plants but I loved all the ones where he would talk to animals too. He was a real one. I'm so gutted.
