Yup, the summary is all in this one paragraph:

Chronicled in the Star Trek oral history, The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, Stewart confessed that concluding Picard’s story took him by surprise. “I will say that at the end of the film, I’m saying goodbye to Riker and I found myself completely caught up in the moment. I broke down. Out of the clear blue sky, my emotions overwhelmed me. I collapsed in Jonathan’s arms and felt such a fool,” Stewart recalled (via Screen Rant). “The entire crew watched me cry and then started muttering, ‘What’s going on? Has he been drinking or something?’ But in that moment, absolutely everything coalesced—the feelings that I had for these people over the years. Saying goodbye was absolutely terrifying and agonizing for me.”
