Arthur’s dad Jason Bleick also appeared for the night out, as Blair hugged him and asked what he thought of their child’s fresh haircut.

“I didn’t recognize him,” Bleick said, as Blair explained that her hairdresser gave Arthur the haircut right before the appearance: “He’s like, ‘Ooh, it’s so much easier to put a mask on!’ "

The film showcases how Arthur inspires her to keep pushing through, no matter her hardships.
