"We all have a lot more in common than you think...Celebrating 28 years of this very special movie JACK with the incomparable Robin Williams," Lopez wrote.

'Jack', a poignant comedy-drama, explores the life of Jack Powell, a young boy who ages at an accelerated rate due to a rare medical condition.

The film also features Diane Lane, Brian Kerwin, Fran Drescher, and Bill Cosby in supporting roles.

Williams' portrayal of Jack, who at age 10 has the body of a 40-year-old, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking, offering a unique perspective on the challenges of growing up.

The plot centres on Jack's journey from a sheltered life to a challenging school environment, where he struggles with his unusual appearance and the complexities of adolescence.

Despite initial rejections and health issues, Jack finds solace in his friendships and ultimately delivers an inspiring valedictorian speech at his high school graduation.

Williams, a legendary actor known for his extraordinary contributions to film and comedy, received numerous accolades during his career, including an Academy Award and several Golden Globe and Emmy Awards.

His untimely death in 2014 left a void in the entertainment industry, but his performances continue to resonate with fans.
