Jennifer Lopez is remembering former costar Robin Williams on the anniversary of their 1996 comedy Jack.

The singer and actress shared a clip from the movie on Instagram that features her character, a school teacher named Miss Marquez, introducing Williams’ character, a boy with an unusual disorder that ages him faster than the typical person, to her class.

While sharing more about himself with his fellow grade-school classmates, Williams’ character Jack reveals that, like his peers, he doesn’t like broccoli. “We all have a lot more in common than you think,” Lopez captioned the post, referencing her line from the movie.

“Celebrating 28 years of this very special movie Jack with the incomparable Robin Williams,” she added.

This month also marks the 10th anniversary of Williams’ death. The comedian died Aug. 11, 2014, from suicide at the age of 63.
