Very sweet, very nice. Just had a really nice first impression,\u201d shared the 61-year-old actor when asked about being a \u201cSwiftie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n What really touched the\u00a0actor was many years later seeing the 34-year-old pop star give back to the world in a unique way. \u201cSome kid who was recovering from something [at a hospital]\u2026[she played guitar for the patient] there was no big crew. It was like a really low-key, handheld thing that she sort of just did on the sly\u2026that\u2019s so cool and not publicized. Just leading with her heart,\u201d he told Jimmy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n From this point on, <\/span>The Office <\/span><\/i><\/a>alum revealed,, \u201cI am going to root for that person.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
