Robin Williams seems like he was a true gentleman, and all of his former costars have nothing but positive things to say about him. Nobody should be outed publicly, and it's nobody's business anyway. I love that Robin supported Nathan throughout the awkward interview.

Alan Turing was a genius who saved his country during WWII, and the U.K. thanked him by treating him like a criminal for being himself!

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years today that Robin Williams has been gone. That man was one of the purest and kindest souls to ever live and he was quietly suffering for so long. One of the few celebrity deaths where I genuinely miss seeing him and yet I never knew him. He truly was one of a kind and his films always bring a smile to my face.

Robin Williams was such a gem, we were blessed by the time we got to experience his genius. But honestly, I love the way all of them stood up for their co-stars.

Too bad Timberlake didn't defend Britney Spears or Janet Jackson, like Mila Kunis defended Justin Timberlake.

The Benedict Cumberbatch one lives rent free in my head

[alyzu]

I met Samuel L. Jackson briefly many years ago. He was lovely and genuine. 🥰

[richardrussell]

The Look on Mila's face after asking "Why are YOU here?" is amazing 🤣 It's like a thoroughly unimpressed grandma who's had enough of your sh*t.

[swoesteban]

From the stories I've heard you do not want to bash Robin Williams costars in front of him. He could chew someone up and spit them out before their mouth shut.

Benedict Cumberbatch is such a gentleman

[apoorvasolanki]

What Tyler Perry did was genuinely great

[danpage]

Who gets a chance to ask Scarlett Johansson questions and fixates on SALAD?!?! Seriously: How does this role compare to other Sci-Fi films you've worked on? Has your approach to playing Black Widow changed since her first appearance? etc., etc.

[christywild]

Robin was an angel with his costars, both his age, older, or younger....We lost one of the kindest souls when we lost him.

Liked the video; learned some things I didn't know before. Good on the celebs for standing up and making things right. I do have two more celebs to add:

- Daniel Craig. When Spectre was being promoted in 2015, actress Monica Bellucci was attacked over her being older than Craig.

- Mark Hamill and John Boyega. They defended actress Kelly Marie Tran from the bullies that attacked her appearance in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. [She received a standing ovation in 2019 at the Star Wars Celebration.]

Wouldn't mind seeing a part two to this list. Thank you; still subscribed.

It is normal for actors to say nice things about their co-stars when they do promotional tours for their movies (or other projects). They are also expected to say that the director is the "best one they ever worked with." Obviously, that can't be true about every director, and I am sure plenty of actors have said wonderful things about co-stars with whom they actually didn't get along. That's why this video was so great! Each event displayed an actor saying something nice about a co-star ... and REALLY meaning it!! In a field that is so full of extremely phony people, it was more than refreshing to see these clips of actors behaving like real people and being true friends!

[miker]

Ah, Robin Williams. You are dearly missed!

[Savannaidk]

I love when josh stood up for lawence ❤

[scloftin]

All of them are incredible for stepping up. It's one thing to admire them for their acting ability, another to discover that they are also fairly nice human beings.

[Kassowari]

Benedict Wong's British accent/voice surprised me, i dont think I've heard him speak outside of a movie before. ❤

[weRarmy_weRBL]

Banned in S.Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt....? of course the actors and producers must be
