Lola and her sister Sami Sheen had previously spoken about how much they adored him.
“Patrick is my favorite,” Sami told Decider, while Lola added, “I was gonna say Pat. I love Pat so much.”
Sami continued, “He’s like a 15-year-old boy who never grew up but did at the same time in the best way possible. He’s really funny. And I’ve said that to him.”
Their mom summed it up best: “He’s been one of my best friends since I was a teenager. And he’s close to our families, close to my husband. But I think the girls don’t look at my famous friends as famous. They just look at them as mom’s friends.”
