Uriah Shelton is opening up about the cancellation of Girl Meets World.

The actor, who played Cory’s younger brother Josh in the Disney Channel show, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message after the news broke and even got teary eyed saying it.

“I want to congratulate everyone on making a show that really freaking meant something,” he says in the video below. “It helped so many people.”

“It helped a lot of girls, and a lot of boys. It helped a lot of kids going through tough times that they might have not been able to get through without [the show],” he adds.
