Robin Williams was able to make everyone laugh – apparently even the cameraman, who should remain serious on set. We can see his amusement in one of the scenes in Good Will Hunting.

Good Will Hunting is a beautiful film, in which we could see Matt Damon and Robin Williams in the leading roles. It tells the story of Will Hunting, a young man who lives in poor conditions. The boy, although he causes problems, is smart and his professor discovers mathematical talent in him. Unfortunately, fights lead to his conflict with the law and to avoid a more serious punishment he has to start going to a psychologist. That's how he ends up in Sean Maguire's office.

Reportedly, one of the scenes in Good Will Hunting was so funny that even the cameraman laughed during its filming, which we can see in the movie, because it was this version of the scene that got into the final production version. Matt Damon, while taking part in the Hot Ones program, confessed that he isn’t able to confirm this in any way, but it is very possible that this is what it looked like.

You can watch the discussed scene from Good Will Hunting with Robin Williams below.

Interestingly, as Far Out magazine reported, this scene was improvised by Williams. Although the actor was able to prove himself as a dramatic actor in this role, he didn’t forget his comedic roots and thus managed to draw a sincere reaction not only from Matt Damon, who partnered him in front of the camera at the time, but also from the cameraman himself.

It must be said that this scene is a valuable addition to the film. And it certainly also amused many viewers, who laughed as much as the cameraman himself.
