The beloved performer shared his soul with the internet when he answered these revealing Ask Me Anything questions in 2013.
In late 2013-- before Robin Williams' CBS sitcom The Crazy Ones premiered-- the Oscar winner took to Reddit for one of their Ask Me Anything (AMA) online events - where site users are encouraged to ask whatever they've always wanted to know about the famous participant. In this case, Williams got quite candid.
Robin Williams died on Monday, August 11, at age 63. The celebrated comedian and actor had been battling depression, according to his representative, and is suspected to have died of an apparent suicide.
One quote that stuck out in the wake of Williams' death is a question he answered from a Redditor who wanted advice, as he was going through a hard time in his life. The actor's words of support were succinct but poignant.
However, the comedian's energy and excitability poured out during the entire, and very long, AMA session, revealing a whole assortment of things that were more than a little unexpected.
In his own words, here are the most surprising revelations from Robin Williams' 2013 Reddit Ask Me Anything session.
