Zelda Williams is tired of seeing images of Jamie Costa all the time imitating her father, Robin Williams. The actor posted earlier this week the video of a screen test for the film
Robin
, a biopic project devoted to the comic who died in 2014. The imitation and the interpretation of Jamie Costa are so striking that the sequences have become viral and have toured the world. They also, of course, reached the daughter of the actor from
Madame Doubtfire
. But by dint of receiving them from fans, more or less well-intentioned, the young woman recognized that it does her more harm than good.
"Guys, I'm saying this because I don't think it will stop until I say it… Please stop sending me this screen test."
I saw it.
Jamie is SUPER talented, it's not against him, but you all spam me an impersonation of my dad who passed away on one of his saddest days, it makes me weird, ”she wrote on Twitter.
Not cruel
In response to Zelda Williams' post, many netizens sided with her, recalling how shocking it can be to be faced with the imitation of a deceased relative.
But some wanted to defend those who share the images.
“Maybe it's not meant to be cruel or rude.
Or promote sadness.
Many of us normal people loved your father for many, many, many reasons.
If this clip prevents a person from using drugs, I say it's a win / win.
Love and light on you, ”for example posted a certain Laura Starr.
Robin Williams, who suffered from Lewy Body Dementia and had experienced several phases of depression during his life, committed suicide on August 11, 2014.
