Robin Williams resented having to work on films such as the second Mrs Doubtfire
but felt compelled in order to keep money coming in, a close friend of the actor has
told the Telegraph.

Williams, who had been working on four projects when he was believed to have taken
his own life this week, was said to have been dreading making more films as they
"brought out his demons".

He had committed to starring in sequels to the hugely successful Mrs Doubtfire and
Night in the Museum, as well as comedy Merry Friggin’ Christmas, and the drama
Boulevard.

But according to his neighbour and friend of over a decade, he no longer wanted to
work on films as he felt they were not conducive to his mental well-being.

"Robin had promised himself he would not do any more as he invested so much in
his roles that it left him drained and particularly vulnerable to depressive episodes,”
the friend told the paper.
