Brian Austin Green has nothing but love for his former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar, Shannen Doherty, as she battles Stage 4 breast cancer.

And she is absolutely leading by example and showing people that even in the toughest of times, you can keep your head up and you can be a good person, and she is, she’s an amazing person, and I think she’s an inspiration for people, she should be.”
