"That hair was amazing," he laughed on the press line after the show. "I’m growing it back out. I was 21 or something like that. I looked young, didn’t I? Or I’ve just aged a lot since then.

She’s very fair. I don’t get that sense from anybody. I haven’t had any Twitter people make comments. It’s all been really, really positive.
