“We could not have been more opposite when we met,” West began in his speech on Monday afternoon. “I was busy wearing ill-advised clothes and having dubious hair choices and eye-liner in my garage punk band — or whatever that was — and you were killing it on the pop star scene … I was trying to get you to listen to the Clash and the Ramones. You were not interested but you were very sweet about it. You stuck to your Fleetwood Mac, always Fleetwood Mac.”

Moore thanked West for his kind words via Instagram.

“Stars have always sort of been our thing,” she wrote alongside two photos of the duo, referring to Landon building Jamie a telescope in the film. “Thankful to @theshanewest for his kind words on this very special day, one which I will never forget. It was a walk (of fame) to remember.🌟”
