“Never have I seen a 15-year-old turn his pain into something so beautiful .. God bless you #JonasConner,” he wrote along the picture.

The actor listed the songs by the young singer, which he has been listening. “Listening on repeat ‘Father in a bible’, ‘Peace with pain’, ‘Oh Appalachia’.” “Aisey bacchon ko Na support kiya toh phir kya kiya .
