Robin Williams' children share sweet tribute on his 72nd birthday
Robin Williams’ children took to social media to celebrate their father’s legacy on what would’ve been his 72nd birthday.
The late actor, known for raising a generation of children through his iconic films like Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire and Dead Poets Society, passed away on the 11th of August 2014 at the age of 63.
His daughter, Zelda Williams and son, Zak Williams, both took to social media to celebrate their father’s life.
Zak posted a throwback photo of the late actor wearing headphones and smiling at the camera.
"Happy 72nd Dad! Was remembering how much I used to love that look you'd give,” he captioned.
“That look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. Miss you and love you forever!"
His daughter Zelda on the other hand paid tribute to her dad on Twitter.
She shared a photo of her late dad protesting in the 2007 New York Picket line with a sign that read: "SAG WGA ON STRIKE."
"Happy birthday to Poppo, who definitely would've been out there fighting the good fight for art and artists today and always,” she captioned the photo, and made a reference to the recent Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike.
Friends and fans have shared their tributes to the actor, in the comment section of both Twitter and Instagram.
“Robin Williams was one of the most beautiful souls to ever grace this earth. Thank you for sharing your dad with us all. We miss him greatly. He’s our whole childhood,” wrote one person on Twitter.
Night at the Museum actor Ben Stiller tweeted a simple blue heart in response to the tweet.
“The world will never be the same without this beautiful soul. He touched so many lives in his time here. Happy Birthday Robin,” wrote one person on Instagram.
“Your dad was such a light in my childhood, even though I never met him personally. Thankful for all the goodness he added to the world for so many of us,” another commented.
