  I’m going to be soooooo bummed whenever Aidan leaves the play..! I know it has to happen someday but it will be real sad. He’s the best Scorpio’s I’ve ever seen. <br>He’s such a powerhouse and he’s so kind and cute… and so down to earth! O hope he’ll have a huge career. He deserves it all.

  He’s so kind, it was freezing cold at the broadway exit and he stayed there and talked with most fans that were waiting outside. Including me and my group, got his autograph and all. Anyways, so glad to watch him here!

  This video came up in my recommendations on Insta and I’m so glad it did! It was the opportunity to see Tom that drew me to the show( Draco has been my OG for decades) but it was Aidan who had me bewitched. &nbsp;I originally moved to NYC to pursue Casting, because actors are my favorite people since I was young, but the jobs and the hustle was rough so I went on to be a Nurse. &nbsp;I’m happy doing that, but something about Cursed Child and Aidan’s performance has got me inspired to revisit that first love in my spare time.<br><br>I went to the stage door one night after a shift to tell him how much he reminded me of the reason I feel I love with actors in the first place, and how incredible I think he is, and he was so wonderful and kind, and even gave me a real hug. Even though it was a brief interaction he listened to my words intently and I could tell by his reaction they registered something with him. &nbsp;In the moment he seemed a little shell shocked, almost like I was breaking his brain lol, but I just figured he was beat after a two show day.<br><br>I was already planning to see the show again with a friend, so I got another chance to say hello. &nbsp;I didn’t want to take too much of his time so I just said ‘I’m not sure if you remember me but I was here last Sunday and wrote you that letter’. &nbsp;He smiled and really seemed like he did. &nbsp;Its hard not to wonder if maybe they’re so used to accolades from fans or colleagues that maybe they’re just being polite in their appreciation, but after watching this video and hearing Aidan be so candid about his acting, vulnerable about his self doubts, and just so expressively human like all of us, he seems like a real one <br>🤍💚

  It&apos;s funny to hear both guys, esp. Aidan say &quot; Yah, yah yah yah&quot; &nbsp;&quot; Yah, yah yah yah &quot; &nbsp;as if constantly agreeing with what the person says &nbsp;&quot;Yah, yah yah yah &quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;I&apos;ve never heard that before. &nbsp; &nbsp;I only just found out who Aidan is. I can not believe he&apos;s in his mid 20&apos;s like 25 years old or so, he&apos;s so youthful and so full of life and positive energy , like a teen. &nbsp;He really is adorable and humble and appreciative of his fans and, wow, he is so knowledgeable about his craft. <br>He has a wonderful personality and he&apos;s so adorable. &nbsp; I wish I could see the play but, I can&apos;t afford to go out anywhere. <br>I&apos;m living vicariously through bits n pieces of Curse Child snippets of scenes , interviews and behind the scenes videos.
