Sam Neill remembers Robin Williams fondly since he collaborated with him on the 1999 Bicentennial film. In his new memoir, Man, Neil, 75, who was published on March 21, reflected on their time spent together. Have I ever mentioned this to you?
The “wonderful discussions” they had when visiting each other’s trailers were recalled by Neil.
Williams was “irresistibly, irresistibly, irresistibly, hugely funny,” he added, explaining how they would chat about it and occasionally the work we were about to undertake.
Williams, though, was “the saddest person I’ve ever been,” according to Neil, who could tell something was amiss even during those happy times.
At the age of 63, Williams committed suicide on August 11, 2014.
“The world was his oyster because of his notoriety, wealth, popularity, and wonderful children. And yet, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly sad for him. On a lonely planet, he was the loneliest man “Neil composed.
In Neil’s words, “the craziest things just poured out of it,” Williams utilised humour as a method of self-medication.
And everyone was receiving stitches, at which point Robin was clearly content, according to Neal.
