Died from an apparent suicide today aged 63.

He was integral to my life in terms of film and comedy. A very funny man, despite his obvious struggles off the camera/stage with addiction and depression.

The world just got a little less funny.
 
One of the true funny men to come out of Hollywood:.
Mork and Mindy
Mrs Doubtfire
Good Morning Vietnam

A real shame how he died…will be sorely missed.

RIP Robin.

x2 ..very sad day indeed..

RIP Robin
 
Many years ago I walked next to him from passport control down to the departure gate at Sydney airport, he put on a show,one liners flowing thick and fast, by the time we got to the gate their must have been two hundred people in stitches, I had tears coming out my eyes I was laughing so much. He just seemed like such a nice guy.

Anyway I loved his work and will miss him, I really think he changed the face of the stand up comic, from the old throw a million corny gags, to actually using clever and topical subjects and making them funny
 
Tbh i'm not really surprised, i'm not surprised by much anymore given how often someone in Hollywood passes. Williams always looked like he had some kind of depression lingering under the surface. I know people won't agree with me, and of course its sad, but a large portion of my emotions about this are me being pissed off. I admit i've never known what it would be like to be in that dark of a place that death is the only option, and hope i never do, but there is a massive element of selfishness about suicide, cos you are deflecting all the pain from yourself onto those around you and timing it by 100000\. I'm upset, angry and disappointed.

I'd been watching a few of his movies lately, idk why. Mrs Doubtfire and The Birdcage were 2 of my favourite movies of his. He actually recently had signed on to do a Mrs Doubtfire sequel.

Regardless of what i said, RIP. He was a unique talent, a genius. and will be sorely missed.
 
Depression is an evil monster ,it takes so many of all ages …a comic genius that has left way to early a sad day.

Williams issues are more related to his battles with drugs and alcohol

Pretty generalized statement in regards to comedians don't you think ??
 
Robin Williams, Beethoven, Nikola Tesla, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Tommy Raudonikis and co……

They are in a class of their own.

It was in my foray of Asia that I came across Good Morning Vietnam. It bent my mind. Around that time Oliver Stone’s Platoon came out - those 2 films inspired my Vietnam expeditions into the land of Ho Chi Min – Vietnam was just across the road. Cambodia was in the back pocket. Laos you could smell. The rest is history. They did it to me.

Top 4 Robin Williams roles

1. Good Morning Vietnam
2. Fisher King
3. Aladdin
4. Good Will Hunting

See you soon mate.
 
No pity here..

People have almost nothing in other parts of the world and make the most out of life..

Yet how many people have had a successful upbringing/career and made enough money that others would only dream to have, yet they resort to alcohol or drugs to escape whatever problems they face..

Seemed like a nice genuine guy, but if he didn't value his life in the end, why should anyone else.
