Robin Williams: The Legend Behind The Laughs

His best friend

When Robin attended Juilliard, he became best friends with Superman actor Christopher Reeve. While the two went on to land huge roles in blockbuster films, their time at college was quite different. Williams was struggling with money and explained that Reeve was “literally feeding me because I don’t think I literally had money for food or my student loan hadn’t come in yet, and he would share his food with me.”

Even after Reeve’s accident in 1995 which made him quadriplegic, Robin supported him throughout and they remained best friends for 25-years.
