As the world mourns the shocking loss of Robin Williams, details continue to emerge about the comedy icon's recent struggles with money and addiction.
"All he could talk about were serious money troubles," a family friend who recently spoke with Williams told Radar Online. "There were clearly other issues going on and Robin sounded distant during the telephone conversation."
Williams opened up about his money problems in a Parade magazine interview last year in which he mentioned how hard it was to deal with divorce.
"Divorce is expensive," Williams said. "It's ripping your heart through your wallet."
The Oscar-winner and stand-up comedian also talked about the first time he quit drugs, 30 years ago.
"The first time I stopped was because my son Zachary was about to be born," he told Parade.
His son, Zachary Pym Williams, was born on April 11, 1983.
"I didn't do rehab or AA. I just stopped."
"I didn't want to be coked out, going, 'Here's a little switch – Daddy's going to throw up on you!'"
"I wanted to be a participating parent," he added.
Williams, who had a roller-coaster film career, also discussed taking roles he probably shouldn't have.
"You go, 'Why did you do that?' But in the end, I can't regret them because I met amazing people."
After the cancellation of his CBS show "The Crazy Ones" in May, the family friend told Radar that Williams was having an extremely difficult time coping with the show being axed.
"Robin slipped into a deep depression," the friend said. "He felt embarrassed and humiliated that the show had been a failure."
Since the comedy great was older and looking for work, the friend said money played a key role in his decision making.
"Here he was in his 60s, and forced to take a role on television for the money," the friend told Radar. "It's just not where he thought he would be at this point in his life."
