Jena Malone Remembers Philip Seymour Hoffman with Touching Message

Jena Malone steps out while attending the launch of Designer’s House on Wednesday (February 5) at HD Buttercup in Los Angeles.

Designer’s House is a marketplace that provides access to high-end home furnishings from elite interior designers and boutiques.

“There won’t ever be enough flowers in the world to shower you with once you are lost to me,” Jena tweeted about her late co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman. “But why wait for separation to herald the beauty in the world. So much beauty in the world it’s blinding. And can be paralyzingly. It can be terrifying. And yet we wake up each day and live. And keep living. In fear, in love, in madness. We keep living.”

She added, “And then one day we don’t wake up. I don’t want to wait for that day to bring you flowers. I want you to know I love you today. That you inspire me. That I am here for you. Cause maybe you haven’t been reminded of your beauty in a long time. And all it takes is one person to reach out and be a mirror. Can we all just be a mirror and go out of our way everyday to support the human heart. That can go blind from too much beauty. Can we just try ? #RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman.”
