01:14I totally understand this.
01:17When he came last time, he had just gotten over pneumonia and it was very difficult for
01:22him to be there for half a day.
01:24I got super lucky to meet him and have him sign my 50th Mary Poppins DVD, but I could
01:31tell that he was so worn out.

01:38and top priority, agreed a second Facebook user.
01:42I hope he's okay.
01:44He's amazing, and he definitely should take it easy.
01:48He's absolutely a legend, declared another fan.
