Matthew Lawrence recently recalled that Robin Williams advised him never to do drugs while they were working on the 1993 comedy film, Mrs. Doubtfire.
Robin struggled with substance abuse throughout his career and Matthew stated that the comedian’s advice was why he stayed away from drugs as he grew up in Hollywood. Lawrence said,
“He was the first adult who really let me in on his condition. Like, full-on let me in. I mean, as bright as he was on camera – I would go visit him in his trailer to talk to him – it was painful for him. It’s really painful for him. He didn’t hide it. He talked to me about it.”
Matthew Lawrence opens up about Robin Williams' precious advice
The Brotherly Love star remembers Williams telling him not to do drugs, and specifically c**aine. He mentioned,
“He was very serious. He was like, ‘You know when you come to my trailer and you see me like that?’ He’s like, ‘That’s the reason why. And now I’m fighting for the rest of my life because I spent 10 years doing something very stupid every day. Do not do it.’ I stayed away from it because of him.”
The Boltneck actor said that he was only cast in Mrs. Doubtfire because of Robin. He said that although the studio reportedly preferred another actor for the role, it changed after Williams pulled a prank on Matthew during an audition. He said,
“[Robin] very secretly reached behind my back and pinched me so hard. The studio started brawling and wept. I got the role because of that little moment over the other boy. It was all Robin Williams. ‘I know what I’m going to do to get this job.’ Thank you, Rob.”
