Robin Williams’ Son Made A Controversial Move To Honor His Late Father

Robin Williams was pretty much the light of the world — or at least of Hollywood — until he suddenly wasn't. From showing us how to vacuum like it's actually a pleasure, or what it's like to get sucked inside a board game, or even just reminding us of the power of poetry, Williams proved he could do it all. And what's more, he proved he could make us love him for it.

After the actor's suicide in 2014 there has been a gaping void in the world. And as difficult as it is for his fans to accept his death, the pain his family feels over this loss is nearly impossible to fathom. That's why one of his children stood up to put on an event that aimed to turn all that grief into a celebration.

More That Meets The Eye

Of course, we all know and remember him as the versatile, yet loving goofball from our favorite movies, but there was always something about Robin Williams that lead us to suspect there was more to him than met the eye.

The Man Behind The Voices

Since his death, many fans have wondered about the Robin behind all those whacky voices. It's easy to forget that celebrities lead real lives outside of their careers. Despite all of the glamour we see, their lives are often filled with troubles.

Art Is Suffering

While some say you have to suffer in order to be a real artist, that sentiment seems all the more true for comedians. Being a comedian requires a certain type of vulnerability that often flirts with self-loathing.

Manic Stage Presence

As Robin Williams first kicked off his career in the stand-up comedy rings, he was noted for his frenetic, if not altogether manic, stage presence. However, it didn't take a genius to recognize that there was more to this hype than just adrenaline.
