‘Suits’ Star Opens Up About Sharing the Screen with Diane Keaton

Gabriel Macht is remembering the magic of working with one of Hollywood’s most iconic forces: Diane Keaton. Following the heartbreaking news of her passing on October 11, 2025, the “Suits” actor took to Instagram to share a photo from their 2007 film “Because I Said So,” and honestly, it’s 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 daughter’s 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 “Generous Scene Partner”

Macht’s Instagram caption perfectly sums up what so many actors have said about Diane Keaton over the years; that she wasn’t just talented, she was alive in every moment.

“Honored 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.”

Short, sincere, and straight from the heart. Macht’s message didn’t just honor Keaton’s talent, it celebrated her energy… the kind that made everyone around her sharper, funnier, and more fearless.

If you’ve seen “Because I Said So,” you know exactly what he means. Keaton’s Daphne was delightfully over-the-top, yet deeply relatable;  a mom who wanted the best for her daughters, even if her “help” was a little… much. Macht’s interactions with her were some of the film’s 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 didn’t take long for fans to fill Macht’s comments section with love; not just for Diane, but for the memories tied to that movie.

“I 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. ‘Why not me!’” one fan wrote. Another added, “Oh Gabriel what a warm, generous and lovely thing to say in honour of Diane. She was blessed to work alongside you too. 🙏💜”

And the love kept pouring in: One fan shared, “This is my absolute FAVORITE movie !!!!!! She will be missed 💔🕊️,” and as a person commented, “Loved this movie, especially the scenes you shared with Diane…funny!” Someone else wrote, “You guys were so great together in this movie!! One of my favorites of hers and yours.”

But one more fan summed it up simply: “Beautifully said.”

It seems like everyone who’s ever seen “Because I Said So” has a story tied to it; a favorite scene, a laugh, a quote that still sticks. And now, Macht’s post adds a little more meaning to those moments. Because for fans and co-stars alike, Diane Keaton wasn’t just an actress… she was an experience.
