Rob Reiner made a chilling comment about his legacy just months before he was stabbed to death.

In one of his final interviews back in September, Piers Morgan eerily asked the actor-director which of his movies best encompassed the legacy he wanted to leave behind.

“I’m not expecting this to happen any time soon, Rob. You’re looking like a fine, healthy figure of a man,” Morgan said.

“But should the moment come when we need to remember the work of Rob Reiner, which is the one [project] for you, of everything you’ve ever done, that you would most like to be remembered for?”

Reiner then replied, “Well, I mean, listen, people have their favorites. [It’s] the cliché, ‘We love all our children, even the bad ones,’” before revealing his choice: “Stand By Me.”

Reiner went on to explain why the 1986 coming-of-age drama was so special to him.

“I don’t know that it’s the best — that’s for other people to decide — but it’s the one that meant the most to me because it really is an extension of my personality and my sensibility,” he shared.

“It has a mixture of humor and melancholy and emotion, and it’s something that is closest to me of all the films I’ve done.”
