Abigail Breslin has paid tribute to her 'My Sister's Keeper' co-star Evan Ellingson following his death aged 35, describing him as a "kind, funny and extremely talented human being", and a "genuinely thoughtful person".
Abigail Breslin has remembered Evan Ellingson as a "kind, funny and extremely talented human being" following his death aged 35.
The 27-year-old star appeared alongside the late actor in 2009 movie 'My Sister's Keeper', and she admitted he was "a genuinely thoughtful person" who was the "life of the party" on set, and she is grateful to have crossed paths with him.
Abigail wrote on Instagram: "Evan Ellingson was a kind, funny and extremely talented human being. He played my big brother in a film I did called My Sisters Keeper. Evan was a genuinely thoughtful person who cared so much about turning in the best performance, which he accomplished. Some of his scenes in MSK still give me chills. He was also silly, funny, a prankster, a lover of Red Bull (I hated the smell of Red Bull [laughing emoji]) and he was energetic and the life of the party. I didn’t keep in touch a lot with him after the film, but he always stayed in my mind as a wonderful and sweet soul, one I am grateful to have crossed paths with. My prayers and condolences are with his family at this difficult time. (sic)"
Abigail also asked social media users to refrain from speculating about Evan's passing.
She added: "Evan, I know Heaven will welcome you with open arms. Your time on this earth may have been, devastatingly, short. Your humor, exuberance, kindness and bright light will linger forever. Sending you peace on your journey to the great beyond and who knows... maybe one day, I’ll meet you in Montana.
Xx, abster
Side note: the details of Evan’s passing have not yet been released. I ask you to kindly not speculate on the details out of respect for his family including his daughter. (sic)"
Evan - who was also well known for starring in 'CSI: Miami' - was found dead in a bedroom at his residence in Fontana, California, on Sunday (05.11.23).
His cause of death has not yet been determined, but an autopsy has already been scheduled.
Evan stepped back from the entertainment industry over the last 10 years, but insisted in a 2009 interview that he didn't have any regrets about his experience of stardom.
He told The Philippine Star: "I never had the same [childhood] experience with my friends.
"I never had more time with them. However, my childhood was a cool one. I was busy doing the things I love. I had no regrets because I found my passion for acting early on."
