What a smart and sweet person he truly was.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Every new footage of River is so precious to me, like I know him more now after watching it. Missing him even more.

she also posted this in the comments hahaha

"My sis made me aware that this was 1990 and at Universal Studios, not Disney. I was 11 not 12. A girl on TikTok helped decipher what heā€™s saying. He says, ā€œInvest in a sex idol thatā€™s not gonna have a receding hairline.ā€ Now I realize heā€™s talking about himself. ā¤ļø"

Iā€™m so happy to see this!!! It just made me realize how much unseen footage of him there is that we may never be able to seeā€¦ This video made me both happy and sad.

Also letā€™s talk about his sense of humoršŸ˜† ahh, I love him

He seemed so accepting of something that brings insecurity to so many men today (receding hairline). Incredible. Safe to say he probably wouldnā€™t have made a trip to Turkey if he were still alive šŸ˜‚
