Actor-director Ben Affleck has honoured the memory of Robin Williams by crediting his tragic ‘Good Will Hunting’ co-star with making his dreams come true. The 41-year-old actor-maker and his childhood friend Matt Damon co-wrote the script for the 1997 drama, in which they also starred.
“Heartbroken. Thanks chief – for your friendship and for what you gave the world. Robin had a ton of love in him. He personally did so much for so many people. He made Matt and my dreams come true. “What do you owe a guy who does that? Everything. May you find peace my friend,” Affleck wrote on his Facebook page.
‘Good Will Hunting’ won critical acclaim, landing nine Academy Award nominations and earning them the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, while Williams walked off with the Best Supporting Actor title.
Former US president Bill Clinton has also paid tribute to deceased star Robin Williams and described him as a “true talent” and a “wonderful friend”.
The former US president expressed his gratitude for the life of the ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ actor, who was found dead at his waterfront home near San Francisco, on Twitter and said that he would be “missed by so many”, the Mirror reported.
Williams died of an apparent suicide on Aug 11.
