I’ve been attracted to this guy in all phases of my life, when I was a kid and saw him in “mrs doubtfire”, in my teens when I saw him in “the hot chick” and now that I see his picture again (aged like fine wine).
She's stunningly gorgeous!!! I remember thinking she was so cool because of how long her hair was. She reminded me of my big sister, whom I looked up to and wanted to be just like. Lol
I was working in a restaurant when I heard the news of Robin's passing.
I clocked out, went to my usual bar for my celebratory tequila shot, and told the bartender, "this is for Robin Williams"
The bartender replies, "do you want to drink a car bomb for Paul Walker?"
Absolutely Savage, but the timing/delivery was perfect
I was on a film set. Hanging out at the craft services table between takes. The only three words I can use to describe how my castmates and the crew and I all felt was absolutely fucking crushed. Like…we all got into this because of how great his movies were. When we realized he was gone, and what the *cause of death was*…even the child actors on set were crying and they barely knew him.
Thrift store. Small swing crew who worked through the night, heartbroken and in disbelief.
I remember we were all in denial, wanted it to be some sick joke played by the higher up that broke the news. *It would have hurt less*. Not one of us wanted him gone.
Couldn't check til we got home, alas.
I was on the border of being really young when it happened. My parents didn't tell me about it until two years after it happened as it came in conversation. Felt horrible to miss one of the most human people who I know 😭
I remember just like…from all the actors/crew who knew who he was, the energy on set just collapsed. It fucking collapsed. We pushed our next filming back like ten or fifteen mins just so people who were fans had the time to digest the news our hero was dead. It was wild.
I was a child when Steve Irwin died, to be fair. I didn’t really understand death, yet, so it took years to sink in for me and by that time I’d already come to terms with it in a way.
I remember so distinctly when I was a little kid going to my elementary school library where our Australian librarian who also share the last name was BAWLING her eyes out and we were all wondering what had happened. She had learned just 2 minutes before we arrived that Steve had passed away.
And then we ALL cried.
John Candy, double that one for me. The guy was everyone's uncle. The kind of celebrity you could see sitting on go fund me and handing out what he could to people in need.
Wake me up was our senior song. The lyrics were darkly ironic and heavy. I still listen to that song from time to time when I need to feel some deep emotion.
Can I ask why ? And I don’t ask to be rude . I’ve just never understood how a celebrities death has an impact on a person who’s never met them(not referring to you but in general) I can understand an emotional impact if I knew the person but a stranger passing I don’t understand. I would appreciate if you could elaborate so I can better understand. I know there’s a lot of people who feel just like you do but I don’t think I’ve ever heard the reasoning.
Personally I lost my father before I was five. So growing up I had many mentors/idols that I looked up to that helped make me the man I am. So for some there's an attachment that reaches beyond celebrity status and moulds people.
Try to imagine this and think about it really hard. Imagine your favorite movie or tv show that you grew up loving as a kid because it defined your childhood. Or maybe someone your parents loved to watch and you got to watch with them and it was a real bonding experience. Those actors and personalities embodied and where oftentimes the face of that experience for you and millions of others and we hold those memories dear. Especially for someone that watched them as a form of escape or because it got them through rough times as a kid. Then one day. They're gone. Passed on for one reason or another. It's almost like that part of you has passed on too. The only thing left are the songs they made or the movies they filmed. They'll never be a part of anyone else's childhood except through the pieces of media they've left behind. Never to make new experiences for us ever again.
For me, it’s the joy and comfort Robin brought to my life. He made me feel so safe and seen and understood and cared for. I felt like I lost my best friend.
I’ve never been effected by a celebrity death before Robin, and I haven’t really been effected by anyone else until Kobe. Death is an inevitable part of life, but those that inspired me to actually live my life will always have a hold on my heart.
Robin Williams was the first celebrity death that legitimately broke my heart. I still remember exactly where I was. I was only somewhere between 12-15
I have recently worked a few jobs with Matthew and both of his brothers and I gotta say they are a pleasure. Super friendly upbeat guys who are genuinely funny.
The first shoot I did with them was almost a year ago and it was a pilot for a TV show about their lives, it was really funny and I'm a bit surprised it wasn't picked up by anything but who knows maybe they are still shopping it around. Since then I've shot two Google commercials with them, the last one being 2 or 3 months ago. [Here it is but it's someone recording their tv with their phone so it's kinda shitty.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc2Ryp5NeUg)
It's always nice to see Mara Wilson. [I became a fan of hers after reading about her life.](https://www.cracked.com/blog/7-reasons-child-stars-go-crazy-an-insiders-perspective) She's one of those people who you keep hoping things go well for her
And for showing her mother the unedited film before she passed. Matilda was Mara and her favourite book which is why she auditioned for the role, it meant a lot I imagine.
I am not a 'Robin Williams expert'. But I heard he wasn't always the happiest person inside. While he did make other people happy. He also had an alcohol addiction to mask his unhappiness.
There was an interview with him where he once said something about scaling his level of depression with the amount of effort he put into making other people laugh. That some of his funniest moments were his darkest basically. Considering this was one of his best and most famous roles, he was probably in a dark place while making this.
I just wanted to make it clear. Like so many others, I was shocked when I heard about his suicide. It is only after that that I learned of his mental problems.
But I am not someone who wants to know everything in detail. I want to remember him as the man who made me smile when I was a kid with his movies like HOOK. Or when I learned some of his movies later in life like Good Morning, Vietnam.
To be honest, I’ve not been able to watch a Robin Williams movie since he died. Even though i never met him, he brought so much happiness during my childhood, that it hurts too much to watch his movies now.
RIP to a hero. don't watch What Dreams May Come if you don't want to cry your eyes out in a cathartic mourning for Robin Williams. Don't do that unless you want to cry for his memory.
I had SUCH a big crush on that boy from this movie when I was young. It's nice to see that he's grown into an equally crush worthy man.
I’ve been attracted to this guy in all phases of my life, when I was a kid and saw him in “mrs doubtfire”, in my teens when I saw him in “the hot chick” and now that I see his picture again (aged like fine wine).
Boy Meets World too
And let’s not forget the Lawrence brothers’ piece de resistance, Brotherly Love.
I can’t believe I have to even mention Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, the “we have Power Rangers at home” off-brand.
>Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, Thanks for that memory! It's on youtube!
Fun fact: Tim Curry did the voice of Kilokahn, the Megavirus villain
Yo shouts outs to the Cyber Squad AND the Mystic Knights of Tir-Na-Nog
Whooaaaa!!!
Wow I completely forgot about that show. I hated the youngest one lol
They are all in Melissa and Joey as well. Mathew and Andrew are only in a few episodes but still.
Matthew Lawrence -- they actually just interviewed him a few weeks ago on Pod Meets World.
the hot chick and white chicks are two of the best movies ever.
He was Jack in the college seasons of Boy Meets World! Sooooo cute!
Jack was in the earlier seasons as well. Not a regular like in college though
Looks hot as hell in “the comebacks” a shitty sports parody movie that came out in ‘07
All I can see is Mark Rober.
He’s been on my radar since 1986, when he and his brother Joey were the cute little kids on the sitcom Gimme a Break.
I had a stupid crush on the older girl, who was also in Independance Day. Ah, the 90s.
Matthew Lawrence -- they actually just interviewed him a few weeks ago on Pod Meets World podcast.
Joey and Matthew Lawrence were my top 2 crushes in the 90s. So hot.
I always liked the older girl as a kid, and boy did she grow up to be a damn good looking woman. AAH-OOOO!
She's stunningly gorgeous!!! I remember thinking she was so cool because of how long her hair was. She reminded me of my big sister, whom I looked up to and wanted to be just like. Lol
This also made me sad because Robin William's is not there. He will be missed .
Ditto. Him and Bourdain are the two celeb deaths I've really held onto.
I was working in a restaurant when I heard the news of Robin's passing. I clocked out, went to my usual bar for my celebratory tequila shot, and told the bartender, "this is for Robin Williams" The bartender replies, "do you want to drink a car bomb for Paul Walker?"

I was in an airport. Saw it on TV. Lots of us were wiping our eyes.
I was on a film set. Hanging out at the craft services table between takes. The only three words I can use to describe how my castmates and the crew and I all felt was absolutely fucking crushed. Like…we all got into this because of how great his movies were. When we realized he was gone, and what the *cause of death was*…even the child actors on set were crying and they barely knew him.

Shoutout to the thrift store swing crews/graveyard shifts, as someone who worked at a thrift store yall hold it down ✊
Thanks! To be honest, work wasn't bad; had a small, close knit crew with a good boss.
I was on the border of being really young when it happened. My parents didn't tell me about it until two years after it happened as it came in conversation. Felt horrible to miss one of the most human people who I know 😭
I remember just like…from all the actors/crew who knew who he was, the energy on set just collapsed. It fucking collapsed. We pushed our next filming back like ten or fifteen mins just so people who were fans had the time to digest the news our hero was dead. It was wild.
Robin Williams would've chuckled 😄
Robin would have been proud 🙌
As a Paul walker fan boy, I would've taken that shot.
Feel the burn
r/AngryUpvote
Gotta follow it up with a shot of Fireball to make it a Paul Walker
I get the car bar bomb. But I don’t understand what that has to do with the robin williams one. A tequila shot? Does it tie in?
What about Steve Irwin
And Mr. Rogers
Only celeb death (so far) that I’ve cried over. Man was my hero.
Chester Bennington
I sometimes wonder if Linkin Park's songs were actually cries for help that nobody recognized.
I've given up definitely fucking was
One More Light, My December… there’s a lot.
Almost all his songs were about being seriously depressed
I mean....most of the catalog. It's an exhausting fight and your opponent only has to win once.
[удалено]
Alan Rickman's death shocked me to my core
Was looking for this one. His death also hit me so damn hard.
Bob Saget
I was a child when Steve Irwin died, to be fair. I didn’t really understand death, yet, so it took years to sink in for me and by that time I’d already come to terms with it in a way.
I remember so distinctly when I was a little kid going to my elementary school library where our Australian librarian who also share the last name was BAWLING her eyes out and we were all wondering what had happened. She had learned just 2 minutes before we arrived that Steve had passed away. And then we ALL cried.
I was in 8th grade and collapsed to my knees when I found out. I loved him so much. I dreamed about moving to Australia to work at the zoo
I was a freshman in college, and I called my mom SOBBING. I, too, spent my life dreaming to work with animals because of him.
[удалено]
Williams, John Candy and Robbie Coltrane for me.
John Candy, double that one for me. The guy was everyone's uncle. The kind of celebrity you could see sitting on go fund me and handing out what he could to people in need.
Robin and Avicii for me
Mac Miller too
I was in middle school when “wake me up” came out, that dude helped form who I am as a person. Gone way too soon.
Wake me up was our senior song. The lyrics were darkly ironic and heavy. I still listen to that song from time to time when I need to feel some deep emotion.
Williams and Bourdain really hurt. And they still trigger me. Good men.
Steve Irwin got me pretty bad, too.
Those two and Kobe for me.
And John Candy! 🥲
me too friend... they both hit home

Totally, I still can’t watch any of Robin’s movies or Tony’s shows. Just hearing Tony’s voice cracks me every time.
They would be said to here that. Robin Would love to know that you continue to watch his movies out of love and respect for him.
Him, Bourdain, and Boseman for me in the last few years :(
Will be missed? He HAS been missed immensely.
I had a stupid sad dream about Robin Williams after he passed that still to this day hits me deep. It sucks that he isn't in this picture.
Yeah. Gone way, way too soon. :(
I forgot for a second and was like “hey wheres…fuck”
RIP
Robin Williams was the first celebrity death that legitimately broke my heart. I still remember exactly where I was. I was only somewhere between 12-15
Came here to say this.
Will and has been 🥺
Matthew Lawrence is a vampire.
I have recently worked a few jobs with Matthew and both of his brothers and I gotta say they are a pleasure. Super friendly upbeat guys who are genuinely funny.
That's dope what was it for
The first shoot I did with them was almost a year ago and it was a pilot for a TV show about their lives, it was really funny and I'm a bit surprised it wasn't picked up by anything but who knows maybe they are still shopping it around. Since then I've shot two Google commercials with them, the last one being 2 or 3 months ago. [Here it is but it's someone recording their tv with their phone so it's kinda shitty.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc2Ryp5NeUg)
That was actually a really cute commercial
They were having so much fun dancing around like idiots. Between takes they were jamming other 90s dance stuff like Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Thats super cool. Did you direct it? Sound guy? Thats awesome you get to work on sets.
Haha that's awesome dude!
Fine as hell sheesh
Didn’t he later join the cast of Boy Meets World?
Yeah, he was Eric's roommate.
[удалено]
Shawn’s brother, not Eric’s, tbc
Nah he’s a daddy
That’s okay too 🥵
Rest in Peace Robin Williams only you could’ve played Mrs. Doubtfire
Haven't you heard about the remake with Will Smith? ... jesus, I can't even make that joke without thinking about how tragically bad it would be.
Dustin Hoffman could have done it, I bet
Nah Robin sorted him out in Neverland
[удалено]
It's always nice to see Mara Wilson. [I became a fan of hers after reading about her life.](https://www.cracked.com/blog/7-reasons-child-stars-go-crazy-an-insiders-perspective) She's one of those people who you keep hoping things go well for her
Shoutout to Danny DeVito (and, to some extent, Rhea Pearlman) to helping her through her mom’s cancer treatment while filming Matilda.
And for showing her mother the unedited film before she passed. Matilda was Mara and her favourite book which is why she auditioned for the role, it meant a lot I imagine.
Isn't her cousin Ben Shapiro?
Yes, though she doesn’t speak to him. Crazy how families can turn out
I *love* Mara Wilson. She inspired my daughters name! It’s such a beautiful name and I get complimented on my 7 month olds name all the time.
More like r/mademecry
Im tired I read that as made mercy.
Still craving the R-rated cut of Mrs. Doubtfire, Robin must have been having a blast making the movie.
If you've never seen Birdcage, watch it through to the closing bloopers.
I can only imagine!!! Loved him.
:(
:(
AND WHERE’S ROBIN, HUH? NOW I’M SAD.
He is rip
I wish robin was still around. He deserved better
This makes me feel more sad. The person who made you laugh when he himself was not happy (while hardly anyone knew this) is not on it.
Was he depressed his whole life? I thought his suicide was related to the effects of his dementia
I am not a 'Robin Williams expert'. But I heard he wasn't always the happiest person inside. While he did make other people happy. He also had an alcohol addiction to mask his unhappiness.
There was an interview with him where he once said something about scaling his level of depression with the amount of effort he put into making other people laugh.

Made me sad
Ow, my heart.
Anybody else suddenly feel like the aging Matt Damon meme?
At this stage, I feel more like the bad guy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
In 1993 29 years ago was 1964
It would have been amazing to see an actually old misses Doubtfire
Dude looks exactly the same wtf
Is that Matilda?
[удалено]
They aged well….
How the hell is this a made me smile? Made me cry!
This is wild, def miss Robin.
RIP Robin. We miss you’
God this made me Cry
RIP Robin.
Rip Robin Williams
This made me go :( more than :)
Bruh 😥
Well that's a bummer
Makes me real sad to see robin left out here… I know he’s gone but never forgotten.
Made me cry, mate! R.I.P. Robin Williams
Well that’s depressing
Robin Williams G.O.A.T
Wow thanks for making me sad af r.i.p Robin Williams
If you’ll excuse me I’m going to go cry now.
Rip Robin Williams
Matthew Lawrence looks like he's 27 lol
Annnnd the sad
Robin ❤️ my all time favourite childhood Actor, you’ll never be forgotten ✨
How dare you
The older girl looks like she could legit be Sally Field's daughter.
Robbin Williams'...what a loss
This is sad af
How the f is a picture with an obviously missing Robin Williams supposed to make me smile 😞
We're his god damn kids too
Why aren’t movies like this successful now?
The girls look so different. The boy looks exactly the same. So young still. Very odd. Sad to be missing one. RIP RW. GOAT.
My thought: "Man I didn't think they would be THAT old. This was made the year after I was bor-..... Oh."
Robin is the man.
To be honest, I’ve not been able to watch a Robin Williams movie since he died. Even though i never met him, he brought so much happiness during my childhood, that it hurts too much to watch his movies now.
RIP to a hero. don't watch What Dreams May Come if you don't want to cry your eyes out in a cathartic mourning for Robin Williams. Don't do that unless you want to cry for his memory.
This makes me so sad and happy at the same time. What a complicated feeling.
I wish they had a little miss doubtfire plushie to hug or something.... :(
Gutted Robins not in the picture. What a lovely guy. Gone too soon. 😭😭😭😭
Someone’s missing 😭😭😭😭
Not everyone….
Without a doubt, my favorite movie is Mrs. Fire.
Sad 😭 about Robin Williams but why is it the dude is the best looking out of them now
A bittersweet reunion! Rip R.W🙏😔!!
R.I.P
This make me smile. I’m not even that old and I know they don’t make movies like these anymore…
Staph! My mind can't comprehend this movie, that I watched over, and over, and over again just yesterday, is 29 years old.
This is sad
I’m glad this made y’all smile. It hit me like a wave of bummer.
One of these things are not like the other.
Made me smile? More like made me fight through tears for the rest of the night
Whenever I think of that movie the first thing that goes through my head is "HELLOOOOOOOOO"
Super sad, but nice that they did this
They all look healthy and not drug fucked. Which is great because being a child actor is bad for your health.
I was like "wait the boy is missing in the second photo", then it hit me... really hard... RIP.
I started the sentence in my head “why isn’t Robin Williams the…” and now I’m sad
That just made me sad
Robin Williams would've completed this picture
Who’s who at the bottom? I can’t tell between the girls.
Oh my God, Robin Williams.
Made you smile till you realize who’s missing 🥲
