A joint interview featuring Rob Reiner and his son Nick has eerily resurfaced after the famous film director was horrifically killed alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
Nick, who was arrested for murder in connection with his parents' deaths, admitted he "didn't bond" with his dad "as a kid" during a conversation in 2016 on AOL's speaker series, BUILD, while promoting their film Being Charlie, which was loosely based on the 32-year-old's substance abuse struggles.
"He really liked baseball, I liked basketball, and he could watch [baseball] with my brother, [Jake]," Nick reflected at the time, noting how watching his dad work on "something that I'm interested in" bettered their relationship."I was like, 'Wow, he really knows a lot and it made me feel closer to him,'" the troubled drug addict recalled.
Rob credited Nick, who co-wrote the movie, for being the film's driving force.
