When Robin Williams passed away in August 2014 we lost an incredible talent. And considering he brought so much joy to so many people, suddenly we all felt incredibly heartbroken.
The only solace we found was the fact we could re-watch his timeless performances in Aladdin, Flubber, Jumanji and so many more amazing films.
No doubt, one of Robin’s most popular performances was as Mrs Doubtfire. In the movie, Williams plays Daniel Hillard, an actor who is forced to disguise himself as an elderly, female housekeeper to spend more time with his children.
The movie, which also stars Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan, is a heartwarming film filled with laughs and emotional moments.
On the fifth anniversary of Williams’ death, two deleted scenes have been circulating online. Both scenes prove once again just how amazing the actor was in both sincere scenes as well as the cartoonish ones.
The first clip shows Daniel arriving late to his daughter Lydia’s spelling bee. She confronts him about it and it turns into a conversation about happiness and family.
Another scene takes place after Field’s character learns the truth about Mrs Doubtfire and the pair have a loud argument causing the children to say they hate them both.
Director Chris Columbus reportedly said he removed the scenes as they would have been “too heartbreaking” for audiences, and we have to agree.
Robins’ daughter Zelda Williams said in a tribute to her father following his death, “The entire world is forever a little darker, less colourful and less full of laughter in his absence.”
If you need a laugh now, here’s one of the funnier scenes from the film:
