Robin Williams’ fight was seen during the filming of “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” according to the film’s director.
Director Shawn Levy opened to see Williams wrestling for the upcoming documentary “Robin’s Wish,” which airs on Sept. 1.
“I would say a month into the shoot, it was clear to me – it was clear to all of us on that set – that something had happened to Robin,” Levy, 52, said in a sneak peek of the documentary obtained by Entertainment Tonight.

In August 2014, he died of suicide at age 63, months before “Night in the Museum: Secret of the Grave” hit theaters.
An autopsy report left the ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ star unknowingly wrestling with Lewy Body Dementia, said his widow, Susan Schneider Wiliams, in the documentary “Robin’s Wish”.
“We saw Robin wrestle in a way he never had before to memorize lines and combine the right words with the performances,” Levy recalled.

He added: “When Robin would call me at 10 o’clock at night, at 2 o’clock in the morning, at 4 o’clock in the morning, and said, ‘Is it useful? Is any of this useful? Am I sucking? What’s going on?’ I would reassure him. I said, “You are still you. I know it. The world knows it. You just have to remember that.” “

“My confidence in him has never been lost, but I saw his moral crumbling,” Levy concluded. “I saw a man who was not himself and that was forgettable.”
