Jonathan Majors stopped by The Sherri Shepherd Show to promote his new film Magazine Dreams and moved the titular TV host to tears.

While talking about the character he portrays in his new film, Majors made host Sherri Shepherd cry as the character hit close to home.

In the film, Majors portrays aspiring bodybuilder Killian Maddox, whom the actor describes as “mentally different,” adding, “You find out that his childhood was a bit difficult, and therefore he moves through the world in a different way.” Shepherd was moved by Majors’ character portrayal, saying, “I cry because my son moves through the world in a different way.” The talk show host fought back tears and, as her voice cracked, added, “So to see you portray this character — it touched my heart.

So that’s why I cry because you so beautifully portrayed this man.” Majors pulled a tissue out of his pocket and handed it over to Shepherd so she could wipe off her tears. “It really meant something to me watching that movie, when I watched you, Jonathan, you’re so beautiful in it,” she added.
