Watch: Robin Williams plays gay in final ever film role
By Will Stroude
The trailer for moving gay drama Boulevard – which stars Robin Williams in his final-ever film role – has been released.
The movie sees the late actor and comedian play a 60-year-old married man who begins to accept his long-suppressed sexuality after meeting a male hooker (Roberto Aguire) and paying him for companionship rather than sex.
Williams was found dead in his California home on August 11 last year, in what was later ruled as a suicide. It was later revealed that the 63-year-old Good Will Hunting star, who had publicly fought battles with depression in the past, had recently been diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease.
Co-starring Kathy Baker and Bob Odenkirk and directed by Dito Montiel, Boulevard will hit US screens on July 10. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
