Cruz revealed that her ‘hobby’ is meeting and taking photos with celebrities, telling Houston TV station KHOU that she’s met over 100 celebs such as Kevin HartJeremy Renner and Post Malone.

‘He like came out, and I didn’t expect his hair to be like a little white. I knew his hair was long but I didn’t expect it to be white,’ Caleb said.

Elijah asked the actor to sign an autograph for him, but he wanted something else: a game of catch.

‘And when I got his signature and my brother got his signature, I asked him if he could play catch with me,’ Elijah said.

‘I asked him the first time and he kind of mumbled something. But I didn’t hear him so I asked him again and he said “yeah come on lets go,”‘ Elijah recalled.

The actor and young boy spent a half minute or so playing catch by the band’s tour bus, more than two decades afer Reeves played a quarterback in the 2000 film The Replacements.

‘I was really nervous because I was playing catch with a famous superstar,’ Elijah said, adding it was, ‘the top moment’ of his young life.

Annette added, ‘I was surprised he did it, and then he said, “hey, he’s got a great spiral.” I’m like thanks. I said, “that’s a day he’s always going to remember.”‘

Elijah’s older brother Caleb didn’t play catch with Reeves, but he did take a selfie with the star.
