Cary Elwes paid an emotional tribute to the late director Rob Reiner on his 79th birthday.
On Friday, he took over his Instagram account Princess Bride actor shared a throwback photo of himself with the director.
“Today would have been your 79th birthday,” Cary captioned the post. “It’s still hard to believe you’re gone. I miss you so much”
For those unfamiliar, Rob and his wife, Michele Singer, were found unconscious in their home in Brentwood, California in December 2025.
Following the heartbreaking tragedy, the couple’s son, Nick Reiner, was taken into custody on suspicion of murdering his parents.
The 32-year-old is currently being held without bond pending trial.
After news of the couple’s death broke last year, Carey expressed his grief on social media.
“I was 24 when I first met Rob Reiner on The Princess Bride. And from that very first meeting, I fell in love with him,” the actor wrote on Instagram at the time.
He further wrote, “I was already a fan of his work, so meeting him in person was a dream come true. As we spent more time together, I knew this was someone I wanted in my life. I also knew that by casting me as Westley, he was giving me the keys to the castle.”
“Thank you Rob and Michele for sharing your lives and art with us,” Cary added. “Because my heart still aches every time I think of you, I know that the sadness of losing you too soon will probably never go away. Of course, death can’t stop true love, but life is pain without you.”
