Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s son shared a heartwarming message for his mom following her breast cancer announcement earlier this week.
Henry Hall, who is a musician in his own right, tweeted a sweet message on behalf of himself and Julia on Twitter and also shared a photo with fans showing himself and his mom when he was a child.
“I couldn’t be more thankful for the outpouring of support for my mom yesterday,” the 25-year-old wrote alongside the family photo on September 29. He then showed off his sense of humor by joking, “Here’s a picture of us taken last year. Love to you all.”
Louis-Dreyfus also took the time to share her thanks with fans and also praised her eldest son for his sweet words.
“I’m thankful, too,” the Veep actress wrote online while quoting her son’s message about her cancer battle on the social media site. “And also thankful for my dear boy with good manners.”
Louis-Dreyfus’s tweet thanking her son and her millions of followers has since gained more than 23,000 likes.
Julia has two sons with writer husband Brad Hall, who she married in 1987. Henry is brother to 20-year-old Charlie Hall.
Their messages came shortly after the actress confirmed on September 28 that she had been diagnosed with the disease and called for universal healthcare for those who aren’t fortunate enough to be able to pay for their own cancer treatment.
