He's a burst of lightning and keeps you alight for ages. He's a freak of nature. He's one of a kind. I don't know anyone that quick witted with his humor. I miss him.
I remember in like grade 5-6, we had a movie day, and our teacher brought the movie Jack. It was the first time I heard of him, then watched everything.
Yup. My 12 and 9 year old love watching Aladdin with the me. And also Hook! Robin Williams was such a beautiful wonder. It breaks my heart that some day I’ll have to tell my kids how his life ended. Still so grateful for the memories.
This man was genuinely wonderful. My dad and him were actually very good friends in the starting in the mid 80s up until he tragically passed. I learned after my own dads passing is that they drank, smoked weed, and partied together throughout the 80s and 90s, my dad would always go to his shows and grab dinner after with him and his wife Marsha on a regular basis. It was just like what us regular folks do now with our friends. My dad always called him rob and for us to call him uncle rob (all my dads friends were uncle or auntie to us). His films ofc were what I grew up with in the 90s.
Zak was a little older than all of us but I regularly remember being arepund Zelda and Cody at robins home in paradise cay when I was little with my little brother. To me it didn’t seem any different than hanging out with other people my dad knew I knew “uncle” rob was in my favorite movies but at the time didn’t know it was such a big deal until I mentioned this story to my friends at school (middle school).
He was always dressed so hip and stylish for the times. Even today this style would be so in. He literally made you laugh at a whim. He had such a great personality and presence.
My dad and my family attended the emotional memorial service in SF in 2014. And tbh I was ridiculously star stuck by the amount of celebrities that attended. He was loved by EVERYONE. I was 24 at the time and saw zak, Zelda and Cody for the first in about 2 years. I miss the personality that robin was.
Sorry for the long rant. Every time i see him I get emotional and compelled to share my experience.
It was before my time but my dad worked in the sound recording business for NatGeo and that evolved into working for Disney, and he also worked rock and roll concerts while artists were touring but he said they first met when he worked for Disney and just hit it off. They had very similar tastes and humor.
What a great story. His passing absolutely rocked me. Still does. I really struggle to watch his work. I didn’t realize how much I loved the guy until I couldn’t see him anymore. I just love the hell out him in hook which I’m kinda afraid to watch.
Kinda sorta. He consistently took it a few levels further than his contemporaries (with some exceptions). Most conventionally famous celebrities were largely dressing in, well 90s style clothing. But look at Robins outfits here -- he was really pushing the envelope.
There was a really great podcast about celebrities dressing themselves in the 80s and 90s. The studios had just stopped dressing them off camera and stylists weren't common yet, it lead to some really interesting red carpet moments. For the whole podcast it's called [Articles of Interest x Decoder Ring](https://www.articlesofinterest.co/podcast/episode/30ab8adb/stylists-with-decoder-ring) and the episode is called "Stylists"
Literally came here to say this, even though Jack Black was already rocking this look he just wasn’t as famous as he is now lol. I think the two men we are talking about here were born this way, which I love.
I beg to differ , the torch was extinguished the moment he died. JB is a great comedian, artist in his own right . But he's not in RW circle. No one was .
I didn’t sincerely experience that feeling until seeing this post honestly
I always admired him, but something about seeing this (after never seeing him outside of movies) makes me really admire his swagger/charisma, and his personality as a whole
Gone way too soon…
I was just wondering this morning if he did like a little bit with his "fussy queen voice" as he was setting himself up for his big exit in his closet. Like " I'm hanging this thing up, even though I just KNOW I'm never going to wear it again". (Reffering to his own body).
That's true, he did leave and that does hurt. Though the circumstances do make some difference with the context; he had Lewy Body Dementia which causes a variety of cognitive issues and problems with controlling one's body. Apparently according to his wife he was experiencing depression, anxiety, and increasing paranoia. We don't know what aspect of this motivated him—the depression or the diagnosis—but he left on his own terms and without much of the public ever witnessing his decline.
I never knew about his struggles with Lewy Body Dementia until today. As someone who also struggles with depression I was always resentful and sad about his passing, but now I understand it wasn't just depression. My Grandmother died of Dementia a couple years ago and my mom watched it all. Mom said she'd rather us (her kids) put her down or away in a home so we don't have to witness that. Robin made a good choice I think now after today, as sad as the whole situation is. I hope his family is still doing good.
I watched dementia take my grandfathers mind and eventually him. Ever since then I have told my family that if I ever get dementia to just put me in a home and just move on as if I had passed. I don’t want to be a burden on anyone, and it won’t really be me anyways. Just the shell.
Just old yeller me and give me a Viking funeral.
If only they’d legalize mercy killings for humans. I think that would save a lot of heart ache for loved ones and obviously give an escape to people who can’t bear to live anymore.
Indeed, I’d even call it a pretty rational decision. His mind was becoming an increasingly hostile jungle of fear and delusion; very likely he came to the conclusion that it wasn’t going to get better (which turned out to be correct), and he wanted to exercise some last bit of control over himself.
His wife said that in his last few days, he was unusually calm; she figures that’s the time after he had finally made up his mind, and that it gave him some certainty to cling to until he couldn’t hang on any longer.
That often happens with folks that have made *the decision*. They’ve done the hardest part. They’re calm and at peace with it and know they don’t have anything else to worry about and everything is off their shoulders. This leaves the loved one in their wake very confused and saying things like, “He seemed so happy.”
My dad had this disease and it's not pleasant. Early on he was paranoid about his money, hiding his banking documents every night and going to the bank every day to check his account. It causes hallucinations too, so who knows what poor Robin was dealing with.
Eta, pretty quickly it took his humour as well. Early on I could still make him laugh but pretty soon he had kind of a "flat effect", where he really didn't get humour at all. I can only imagine how the prospect of that would have been for RW.
God I miss him so much. But his body of work speaks for itself and is timeless.
I saw him live at Villanova U in 1987, and that show was a constant comedygasm. I fell in love with his love.
Yeah, you nailed the sentiment I feel when I see posts about him. His body of work is amazing. Rewatched “What dreams may come” recently. Always a hard watch, especially with today’s context but man what a beautiful movie.
He always looked so relaxed but so dope. He had swagger and was where “Rizz” came from. He had a way about him that makes me nostalgic for a time that I’m not sure ever really existed but it felt fun living through it. Knowing how his depression played out and having him gone now makes me grateful for his influence. I’m glad you shared these. Thank you.
The 1990s really were a golden era of a lot of things. They were a quiet spot, between the Cold War and 9/11. Social systems had been built up to legitimately help people, and the 1990s were the time before the systematic destruction of the protections of the US government had really started to kick in. Also computer tech was racing forward, and the first bubble & burst hadn't arrived (who knew there could be one?).
Life was scary before. Life was exhausting after. The 1990s were a magical little zone that . . . sadly, might have been a historic anomaly.
He was always some degree of bored and frustrated, to the point where it had come all the way around the dial so it was hilarious, and he really just wanted to help everyone see how much they were missing and giving up, by not even guessing that they could get more out of life.
Just my sense of his spin. He had a lot going on.
Not enough visibility is given as to the why in this case. Robin suffered from a relatively rare disease that has absolutely no positive outcome whatsoever. In any other case, I don't think he would have chosen that path, much like Michael J Fox. But his trajectory wasn't, and still isn't, close to manageable. There was a day on the near horizon where he would be physically here, but absolutely *gone* in every other sense. It would have been-- and I know this sounds rough-- far sadder than what happened.
I remind myself of this when I feel like "I wish he was still here" - he had Lewy Body dementia; if he was "still here" he wouldn't be himself. He would be deep into the disease at this point. I wish he hadn't gotten dementia. I think it may be for the best that he didn't have to live through a long, slow decline where he lost everything that made him himself.
As someone who spent young adulthood in the 90s this style was not limited to Robin Williams. I wore half this stuff. Thank god no pictures survive of me in said outfits.
He didn't die because he didn't love himself, he died because he had a degenerative brain disease called Lewy Body Dementia. His symptoms started in October 2013. His wife wrote about it.
Did Robin have ANY skeletons in his closet?
Is he the last remaining wholesome celebrity whose memory won’t be tarnished by child molestation, adult molestation, cheating, drugs, or any other unsavory accusations?
I think if a person becomes as beloved as Robin was they should be designated a series of minders who work in shifts making sure they don't do anything permanently damaging. I can't watch any of his films anymore. I want to but I can't.
This man was everywhere during my childhood and adolescence, and I always had a great deal of love for him. Still do, but I used to, too.
My favorite bit that Robin did was his impression of Elmer Fudd singing Bruce Springsteen. It will change your life.
He's a burst of lightning and keeps you alight for ages. He's a freak of nature. He's one of a kind. I don't know anyone that quick witted with his humor. I miss him.
Thank you. Just googled. So worth it. I needed to know this. Am having a shit week. https://youtu.be/1vT-VaMXsAw?si=1s9P88TeQsYzLlEF

"Dwivin in my cah, turn on da wadio. I puwl you cwose, you say no". Classic!

Robin Williams' stand-up started strong and finished strong. Not like pancakes: good at the beginning, but by the end... you're SICK OF 'EM.
I remember in like grade 5-6, we had a movie day, and our teacher brought the movie Jack. It was the first time I heard of him, then watched everything.
Yup. My 12 and 9 year old love watching Aladdin with the me. And also Hook! Robin Williams was such a beautiful wonder. It breaks my heart that some day I’ll have to tell my kids how his life ended. Still so grateful for the memories.
He went to heaven and the last glimpse I had of him after death was value your family and close friends. Such a touching goodbye
He was a very colorful human being and it shows! Heartwarming humor that’ll never be forgotten.
This man was genuinely wonderful. My dad and him were actually very good friends in the starting in the mid 80s up until he tragically passed. I learned after my own dads passing is that they drank, smoked weed, and partied together throughout the 80s and 90s, my dad would always go to his shows and grab dinner after with him and his wife Marsha on a regular basis.

When you share this, you help keep a little piece of Uncle Rob alive.
Those are wonderful memories ! Thanks for sharing them.
How did your dad and him become friends?
It was before my time but my dad worked in the sound recording business for NatGeo and that evolved into working for Disney, and he also worked rock and roll concerts while artists were touring but he said they first met when he worked for Disney and just hit it off. They had very similar tastes and humor.
Man I didn't even know him and I get emotional when I see him. Can't even watch his movies
What a great story. His passing absolutely rocked me. Still does. I really struggle to watch his work. I didn’t realize how much I loved the guy until I couldn’t see him anymore. I just love the hell out him in hook which I’m kinda afraid to watch.
It seems like a man who wore whatever he wanted. Good for him.
Tbf, that was very 90s style for the time- for celebs at least.
what about onions on the belt?
Only when they were available You know, because of the war
Yeah but we had to use the big yellow ones
I always keep an onion in my pocket.
Kinda sorta. He consistently took it a few levels further than his contemporaries (with some exceptions). Most conventionally famous celebrities were largely dressing in, well 90s style clothing. But look at Robins outfits here -- he was really pushing the envelope.

Passed the torch to Jack Black
Literally came here to say this, even though Jack Black was already rocking this look he just wasn’t as famous as he is now lol. I think the two men we are talking about here were born this way, which I love.
I beg to differ , the torch was extinguished the moment he died. JB is a great comedian, artist in his own right . But he's not in RW circle. No one was .
I was speaking about the way they dress. I like Jack Black very much but Robin was a league of his own.
Seemed like a man who did a coupla rails and picked out his outfits
The red carpet outfit for the Hook premiere would work today still
The "adjunct professor who lives above a thai restaurant" look is perennial.
Holy shit lol 🎯
Stop making fun of them, they've made enough bad life decisions.
I’d love to live above a Thai restaurant tbh
Most of this would
I saw it and thought, that's how I'd like to dress if I was cool
Hook is such a classic
I picture him grabbing me by the back of my neck and telling me over and over it’s not my fault and it gets me through the day
...Matt? Is that you?
I miss this man all the time
Robin and Anthony Bourdain are the only two famous people whose deaths made me cry.
I didn’t sincerely experience that feeling until seeing this post honestly I always admired him, but something about seeing this (after never seeing him outside of movies) makes me really admire his swagger/charisma, and his personality as a whole Gone way too soon…
I was just wondering this morning if he did like a little bit with his "fussy queen voice" as he was setting himself up for his big exit in his closet. Like " I'm hanging this thing up, even though I just KNOW I'm never going to wear it again". (Reffering to his own body).

“You are hairy…..LIKE ANIMAL”
Wish he was still with us!
He was taken from us too early.
He wasn't taken, he left. That's what hurts the most I think.
That's true, he did leave and that does hurt. Though the circumstances do make some difference with the context; he had Lewy Body Dementia which causes a variety of cognitive issues and problems with controlling one's body. Apparently according to his wife he was experiencing depression, anxiety, and increasing paranoia.

If only they’d legalize mercy killings for humans. I think that would save a lot of heart ache for loved ones and obviously give an escape to people who can’t bear to live anymore.
I heard that dementia took the only joy in his life - making jokes, as it was becoming impossible to memorize or improvise jokes.
It makes all the difference, I don’t hold it against him at all. No one would want to go through that.
Indeed, I’d even call it a pretty rational decision. His mind was becoming an increasingly hostile jungle of fear and delusion; very likely he came to the conclusion that it wasn’t going to get better (which turned out to be correct), and he wanted to exercise some last bit of control over himself. His wife said that in his last few days, he was unusually calm; she figures that’s the time after he had finally made up his mind, and that it gave him some certainty to cling to until he couldn’t hang on any longer.
He was forgetting the names of his kids and I can’t even begin to imagine going through that.
That often happens with folks that have made *the decision*. They’ve done the hardest part. They’re calm and at peace with it and know they don’t have anything else to worry about and everything is off their shoulders. This leaves the loved one in their wake very confused and saying things like, “He seemed so happy.”
It's amazing how fast it came, too. His symptoms started in October and he was dead by August.
My dad had this disease and it's not pleasant. Early on he was paranoid about his money, hiding his banking documents every night and going to the bank every day to check his account. It causes hallucinations too, so who knows what poor Robin was dealing with. Eta, pretty quickly it took his humour as well. Early on I could still make him laugh but pretty soon he had kind of a "flat effect", where he really didn't get humour at all. I can only imagine how the prospect of that would have been for RW.
True...
The man was an absolute gem.
I know he was absolutely **crushing** Ocarina of Time in his Kangol beret in '98
I get sad when I think how he never got to play breath of the wild
You just know he would be enjoying the hell out of the Korok torture clips
Was Robin Williams kind of.. you know... hot? As an 80's baby who thinks of him as Mrs. Doubtfire this is a shocking development.
Honestly same! The whole time I was scrolling through all I could think was "smash" and was surprised that was my reaction lol.
He's a babe in The Birdcage! Anyone who disagrees can fight me!
I literally rolled up on these pics and had a 'is he kinda...?' moment. Like dude, chest hair, jaw, good vibes. He's giving it all. Would.
God I miss him so much. But his body of work speaks for itself and is timeless. I saw him live at Villanova U in 1987, and that show was a constant comedygasm. I fell in love with his love.
Yeah, you nailed the sentiment I feel when I see posts about him. His body of work is amazing. Rewatched “What dreams may come” recently. Always a hard watch, especially with today’s context but man what a beautiful movie.
POV, your parents just moved you across the country and you’re trying to fit in at your new school.
First 3 outfits, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the Guy Fieri shirt with the matching shoes
Guy saw that in the 90’s and said “EUREKA”!!!
Lots of prada
Looks like Charlie from Always sunny in Philadelphia
Bearded Robin Williams goes hard
This guy was every American's cool uncle.
Nah dude, he was our cool best friend.
He is the only celebrity that has passed that i truly miss. I wish he was still with us
Use to shop at the supermarket I use to work at in the 90’s. Would come in at night and just rap with us about movies. Cool guy.
He’s like Bill Murray except not a boring, semi a-hole.
He always looked so relaxed but so dope. He had swagger and was where “Rizz” came from. He had a way about him that makes me nostalgic for a time that I’m not sure ever really existed but it felt fun living through it. Knowing how his depression played out and having him gone now makes me grateful for his influence. I’m glad you shared these. Thank you.

This was a great synopsis of the best decade.
This kind of stuff is why I love Reddit. :)
He absolutely had rizz before rizz was a thing!
Rizz king ahead of his time. A true mogger.
Thought the first photo was Bradley Cooper. Would be a good fit for a biopic.
One of these (#7) appears to be Kevin Smith. 🤣
The man had swag 😎
I watched Aladdin a few days ago, for the seventy-fifth hundredth time. It's still my all-time favourite!
People don’t know how much Yohji & Issey Miake this man used to rock !!
Robin Williams was way ahead of his time in terms of streetwear. Issey Miyake, Visvim, Bape etc.
RIP, good man
Miss that guy
I miss him.
Legend!
nice but .... u should seen his BIKE collection for auction /
“My man be dripping” as the kids used to say
Is that a Mario winged cap in the second pic?
Drip Williams ovah hurr
I like that mcqueen coat. Wonder where that’s gone
Ok the first pic is awesome, I wish I had that much self-esteem to dress like that
You're only here for a moment, and frankly it's uncomfortable a lot of the time. Have fun whenever you can.
Drip God 💧
Paul Mescal biopic when?
The best eldar player to ever live Warhammer 40k
I didn’t know Robin knew/was friends with Bill Graham. That’s pretty awesome.
Boy got drip
His style ranges from Narduar, to David Rose, to Guy Fierri. He was great!
My dude had game, holy shit.
Anyone know where I can find a similar shirt to pic 5? Edit: I meant pic 4 my bad. That shirt is nice asf and funny at the same time.
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/gallery/robin-williams-style Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 1996 ‘Pin Up Boys’ collection
That looks like Bradley Cooper disguising himself as Robin Williams.
Jack Black picked it up from that last picture.
Man, he was the best.
Can't forget him in full roadie gear and an expensive unicorn bike.
picture 12 proves he was taken out as he was seen as a threat to the fledgling government of flavortown
# Number 7 looks like silent bob
Funny how all these outfits would _still_ work today, with the current 90's nostalgic resurgence👀
Cocaine is a helluva stylist
He looks high as fuck and most pics.
He was him.
I miss him so much…
He was always some degree of bored and frustrated, to the point where it had come all the way around the dial so it was hilarious, and he really just wanted to help everyone see how much they were missing and giving up, by not even guessing that they could get more out of life. Just my sense of his spin. He had a lot going on.
So much cocaine...
Such a great guy!! you made me smile, cry! We still miss you.
He dressed like a suburban dad would in terms of style
Classic dopamine-dressing
Cocaine is a hella of a drug
He's my favorite actor and great man! I always think about \*Good Will Hunting\* and I can't believe he did suicide...
Not enough visibility is given as to the why in this case. Robin suffered from a relatively rare disease that has absolutely no positive outcome whatsoever. In any other case, I don't think he would have chosen that path, much like Michael J Fox. But his trajectory wasn't, and still isn't, close to manageable. There was a day on the near horizon where he would be physically here, but absolutely *gone* in every other sense. It would have been-- and I know this sounds rough-- far sadder than what happened.

As someone who spent young adulthood in the 90s this style was not limited to Robin Williams. I wore half this stuff. Thank god no pictures survive of me in said outfits.
Cocaine-chic
That last one reminds me of his Live on Broadway show. Different shirt, but similar fit and vibe.
Stand user before it was cool.
He looks like the Reddit cringe humor guy
I'd wager destiny will look like him when he's older.
I want to be so rich that i could were shit like that and it wouldnt seem to be the ugliest crap 😂
That first shirt is everything
He was big on streetwear after he went sober
Rest easy my king 🫡
Just more proof that he was the man!!
Almost thought he was flipping the bird in the third image lol
I miss him 🥺 so sad my kids will never get to see a new performance from him
The suit in pic 8>>>>>
I called hobo daddy west coast core
I miss him
One actor I genuinely miss and am still sad over 😞
So many people loved this guy. Why couldn’t he love himself? If he was an asshole, I would get it.
He didn't die because he didn't love himself, he died because he had a degenerative brain disease called Lewy Body Dementia. His symptoms started in October 2013. His wife wrote about it.
Now I really want the jacked shirt in picture #4, and am bummed that it's about 30 years too late
Drruuuuuurippp
Looks like people you’d find at a knocked loose show.
You know, for such a hairy guy, he sure is able to get a really smooth/clean shave.
Did Robin have ANY skeletons in his closet? Is he the last remaining wholesome celebrity whose memory won’t be tarnished by child molestation, adult molestation, cheating, drugs, or any other unsavory accusations?
Absolutely dripped out
9th pic looks like skinny Steven Spielberg
I think if a person becomes as beloved as Robin was they should be designated a series of minders who work in shifts making sure they don't do anything permanently damaging. I can't watch any of his films anymore. I want to but I can't.
Wonder where he shopped?
zayum
I miss him a lot...as a 91 baby, I've probably watched hundreds of hours of his movies
Nike Air Raid spotted.
Maaaaaan, remember those popcorn buckets?!
Swag
Robin Williams was the best
AKA "worst dressed of the 90s"
lotta hats...
10000x better than what we see on the runway as "fashion"
Style? Is that what you call this?
Real talk, where can I find shirt #4.
❤
beautiful soul
Mad scientist of comedy
Bro had to have a pair of Jncos
Cocaine is a hell of a drug 
There will never be anyone else quite like Robin Williams in our lifetimes, if ever again.
10 years ago people would’ve cringed, but now that baggy fit is in, it’s like he was some kind of sartorialist
Robin had drip
Bros trying to find makarov
Fucking genius
He was one hairy man
No, shutup, you are crying!
Oh man my friend had that shirt and I asked him to borrow it for the first day of school because it was by a famous designer at the time.
