"You know, I knew that she was a nice person but when I met her in life, she just came to me and said, 'Hi, I'm Coco. I don't think we've ever met but congratulations, nice to meet you'. She was so nice, oh my god. So yes, I can say that Coco is the most beautiful face for now that I've seen here."
