"It is a deeply sad time for us all on the loss of Robin Williams," the former James Bond star told Us Weekly. "My first day on set, they said, 'Do you want to meet Robin?' I had never met the man, I was so excited. I was so thrilled to have this job in the company of this great star comedian," he continued.

"I walked into the trailer and there was Robin in a pair of Ugg boots, hairy legs, shorts, Hawaiian shirt and hairy chest. That's how I met Robin Williams, and that's how I met Mrs. Doubtfire. And I had the time of my life. Every day was just sheer magic with the man. His hilarity, his grace, his brilliance of mind and soul. His reverence, sincerity. [It’s a] deep loss."

"It really has cut deep into all our hearts that he is gone and that he suffered in such pain, and said, 'Enough, enough,'" the actor told Us. "He will be loved forever and missed forever."
