Shortly after Christopher Reeve’s 1995 horse-riding accident, Robin Williams — his very best friend in life — visited him in the hospital.
Wearing surgical scrubs and speaking in a thick, comedic Russian accent, Williams barged into the room pretending to be a proctologist, stating that he was there “to perform an immediate rectal exam.” Reeve could only burst into laughter.
He later admitted that it was the first time since his accident that he had been able to laugh again, and that Robin had saved his life by showing that he could still find joy.
(When Christopher later died in 2004, Williams referred to Christopher as “his brother,” and stated that part of his heart was gone đ)
And I know this isn’t a proof at all that Christopher Reeve was a nice guy in real life, although many a person would NOT have laughed in his situation. On the other hand, I couldn’t find any dirt on Reeve — which is rather exceptional if you think about it.
So to answer your question once and for all:
