Gabriel Macht is remembering the magic of working with one of Hollywoodâs most iconic forces: Diane Keaton. Following the heartbreaking news of her passing on October 11, 2025, the âSuitsâ actor took to Instagram to share a photo from their 2007 film âBecause I Said So,â and honestly, itâs one of those tributes that hits you right in the feels.
The movie, which also starred Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham, Piper Perabo, Tom Everett Scott, and Stephen Collins, captured Keaton at her funniest and most chaotic⦠a mom trying way too hard to steer her daughterâs love life. And alongside her? Macht, who played one of those charming, quietly confident love interests that fans still remember almost two decades later.
Gabriel Macht Honors His âGenerous Scene Partnerâ
Machtâs Instagram caption perfectly sums up what so many actors have said about Diane Keaton over the years; that she wasnât just talented, she was alive in every moment.
âHonored to have shared the screen with one of the most spontaneous and generous scene partners. May her spirit stay as free as the life force she brought to every moment. #oneofthegreats #legend #blessingstoallshestouched #becauseisaidso #dianekeatonRIP.â

Short, sincere, and straight from the heart. Machtâs message didnât just honor Keatonâs talent, it celebrated her energy⦠the kind that made everyone around her sharper, funnier, and more fearless.
If youâve seen âBecause I Said So,” you know exactly what he means. Keatonâs Daphne was delightfully over-the-top, yet deeply relatable;Â a mom who wanted the best for her daughters, even if her âhelpâ was a little… much. Machtâs interactions with her were some of the filmâs most grounded moments, balancing her comedic chaos with warmth and sincerity. Together, they made scenes that fans still rewatch (and quote) to this day.
Fans Remember the Film and Celebrate Keaton
It didnât take long for fans to fill Machtâs comments section with love; not just for Diane, but for the memories tied to that movie.
âI just watched this movie again today for the hundredth time in honor of Diane. One of my absolute favorites and you picked the perfect scene. âWhy not me!ââ one fan wrote.

She will be missed ððï¸,â and as a person commented, âLoved this movie, especially the scenes you shared with Diane…funny!â Someone else wrote, âYou guys were so great together in this movie!! One of my favorites of hers and yours.â
But one more fan summed it up simply: âBeautifully said.â
It seems like everyone whoâs ever seen âBecause I Said So” has a story tied to it; a favorite scene, a laugh, a quote that still sticks. And now, Machtâs post adds a little more meaning to those moments. Because for fans and co-stars alike, Diane Keaton wasnât just an actress⦠she was an experience.
