Zelda Williams has made a statement asking people to stop sending her AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:
“Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, i’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening.
You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Never forget that Bernard Hill as an actor is responsible for some of the greatest acting before a cavalry charge you’ll ever see. I would have rode through a wall for Theoden King Of Rohan!! ARISE ARISE RIDERS OF THEODEN!! #BernardHill#RIPBernardHill#TheLOTR#RIP #TheLordOdTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing #TheReturnOfTheKing #Theoden
I don't say this lightly: Bernard Hill as King Theoden in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of my all-time favourite performances, a fascinatingly complex turn which brings to life a fascinatingly complex character.
RIP to the great Bernard Hill.
So long to our friend, our king, Bernard Hill.
We will never forget you.
“For he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning.”
