Jennie Garth is opening up about her late co-star Luke Perry, just over five years after he passed away at just 52.
The Beverly Hills 90210 star - who celebrated her own 52nd birthday in Malibu last week - spoke about her co-star on an upcoming episode of Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone.
She recalled on the podcast how much Perry loved, 'meeting all the fans,' and how she took his approach moving forward.
She added the fans had, 'genuine love and adoration and excitement,' adding she felt, 'so honored to get to meet them.'
'I really mean that. And people wait, and pay money and they wait, and it means a lot and I try to give everybody their time and just really hear their stories,' Garth said.

'I really do genuinely love those experiences and the whole con world has really — it's important for a lot of people and it means so much to them,' she said.
'And the person I think I learned the most about, giving every person their time with you, how important that is... was Luke,' she said.
As Garth explains, Perry — who famously portrayed Dylan McKay in the series — taught her about interacting with fans "just by example and just by watching him."
'How people responded to him and how he had the ability to make you feel like you were the only person in the world that mattered,' she added.
'And I love that I learned that lesson from him and I try to keep that alive. I think of him often,' she continued.
She also revealed how she wants to, 'keep working,' despite making numerous jokes about retirement.
'I joke and say I have 9 more years in me and I'm gonna hit that pension, my retirement, I'm out,' she said.
'But I will never stop creating, it's just the way I'm wired. Life has such a beautiful way of just falling into place if you let it,' she continued.

She added that rewatching the show for her 90210MG podcast is a 'visual constant reminder.'
'The thing about when the cast gets together, we all have that in common because we all loved him so much and so there's that connective tissue for us as a group," she said in March.
'And there's that deep understanding that he is right there with us, when we're all together, just put a chair there because he's sitting in it, he's not going to not be there,' she said.
