Oliver Hudson has been left "devastated" by news of his co-star, Adan Canto's untimely death.
The son of Goldie Hawn took to Instagram on Tuesday with a lengthy and heartbreaking message about his friend who died at the age of 42 following a battle with cancer.
Oliver normally packs his social media pages with lighthearted and hilarious posts, but he took a serious tone as he spoke about the loss of his The Cleaning Lady co-star.
Alongside a photo of Adan, who privately battled appendiceal cancer and is survived by his wife, Stephanie, and their two young children – Roman Alder, three, and one-year-old Eve Josephine – Oliver wrote: "I only knew Adan for 2 years but it was enough to know what an amazing friend, father and man he was. Wow did he love his family. We would spend so much time talking about our kids and what kind of people they might become."
Oliver continued: "Getting out of LA to live a simpler existence where nature and vast landscapes set the tone for the day. He would invite me many times to ride motorcycles through the New Mexico mountains but I never did. I regret that. I can now imagine what those rides meant to him. I'm truly devastated. Love you my man."
