However, to Paul’s surprise, the director would leave without taking a picture, which left Paul heartbroken. “I thought he’d come back like he said. He never came back for me. Don’t meet your heroes kids. When I have a photo in mind and I came so close to getting it, but I fell short. It destroys me so I didn’t do it. Now I don’t get what I want and now I’m heartbroken,” he added.
