“You can’t say you don’t get out what you put in. I’ve tried my hardest over the years to be kind, thoughtful, honest supportive and good. A couple of days ago my life took a complete left turn… and the outpouring of love from all the corners of the world; from people I didn’t even think would know or remember me… has just been astonishing. Truly incredible,” the father of one began his post on Instagram.
“I will have a lot to say on that matter and the benefits of being kind in the future.. but thank you. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and sent their love and support. It literally has been a lifesaver,” he continued.
Goodwin also gave shout-outs to his loved ones, including his fiancée, British actress Amanda Abbington, whom he called “the best thing to ever happen to me.”
