Reyna ♔ Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Oh no! I was just watching his "Weapons of Self-Destruction" comedy special a couple weeks ago. He was so brilliant, and I loved his work. This is crushing. You never truly know nor understand all of the demons people face. The brightest people face the darkest of them all. Rest in peace, Robin.

Laveaux Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 ^I was gonna name my first born Jumanji, that's how much I fucks with that movie. He was an incredible actor, that whole not your fault scene in 'Good Will Hunting' made me shed real funeral tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJoe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I think he was married and she couldn't keep the man happy? SMH I'm sorry but if you're in a relationship with someone especially married you should be able to help with your other half so that they don't feel they have to kill themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 And he's battled depression his entire life and speant millions on rehab and trying to find his ballance & stability, 1 person can't be the 100% cure forever for a lifelong battle like that, some things go deeper than love. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
