“I feel very spaced out,” Aimee Lou told E! News’
Zuri Hall
At the event, “I’m finding it hard to express myself. My mouth feels very parched. But thank goodness for Patrick. He mentioned, ‘I’ll be heading out. Do you want to join me in my car?’ I immediately responded, ‘Yes, definitely.'”
The
Sex Education
star—who donned a black suit-dress combo with slicked back hair—added, “So, we came in the car together and that had made everything a lot less scary.” (

However, as Aimee explained, her bond with Patrick runs much deeper than simply arriving and departing from Thailand together.
I often mention that I believe he might have been my father in another lifetime,” she went on. “I instantly feel such security whenever he’s near. He’s incredibly kind and steadfast; nothing fazes him. There’s absolutely no room for anxiety or fear when Patrick is present. He embodies purity in every way, which is hard to put into words.
And, as it turned out, Patrick—who sported a Balmain suit over a yellow silk dress shirt—perfectly reflected his friend’s sentiments about the evening.
It has been fantastic,” he shared with E! News. “It’s wonderful to attend such an event alongside your buddy.
He went on, “I find it quite frightening to show up here; it makes me anxious. Therefore, coming with a buddy has been pleasant.”
