Ryan Reynolds Says He Misses Robin Williams After Receiving Legacy Award: ‘Pretty Sure Everyone Does’

The 'Deadpool' star shares his admiration for the late actor's children, saying, 'His kids have turned his legacy into a living, breathing love-letter for good"

Ryan Reynolds is paying tribute to late actor Robin Williams.

The Deadpool star, 46 — who received the Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on Monday — shared a heartfelt post about the beloved comedian on Instagram.

“I miss Robin Williams,” Reynolds wrote, alongside photos of the late star’s children, Zak, 40, and Zelda, 34. “Pretty sure everyone does. His kids have turned his legacy into a living, breathing love-letter for good. It was a crazy honour to receive the Robin Williams Legacy Award last week at the annual Bring Change to Mind gala in NYC.”

“The incomparable @glennclose started @bringchangetomind, whose mission is to end stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness,” he continued, posting photos of Glenn Close and Whoopi Goldberg at the event. “Glenn literally saves lives by making space for these conversations. I love this woman. Give @bringchangetomind a follow for more info… Also, being roasted all night by some of the funniest people on earth was something I’ll never forget… without the help of a hypnotist.”

Reynolds spoke to PEOPLE at the Bring Change to Mind event on Monday about parenting and his children's mental health.

“I think it’s more about talking to them about everything,” the actor told PEOPLE. “It’s genuine when I say I take a huge interest in their days and how things are going.”

The star also shared how he and wife Blake Lively emphasize “self-awareness” to their four kids, along with details of their daily routines.

“For me, the best time of my day is walking them to school and walking them back,” he told PEOPLE. “I think as parents, we are so much better equipped to handle the rigors of childhood through our kids now than when I was a kid. It’s just totally different now. People are much more self-aware. And that’s the thing we sort of hang our hat on the most is self-awareness with our kids. Not be happy, not be anything, just be self-aware and welcome everything in.”

The Red Notice star and actress Lively, 36, share three daughters: James, 8, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. They welcomed their fourth child in February.

After the latest child’s birth, Reynolds revealed to CNBC's Power Lunch how he and Lively were adjusting as a family of six.

"We're very excited," he told the outlet. "Look, we wouldn't do this four times if we didn't love it."

"Everybody's doing great. Everybody's actually doing fantastic," the Adam Project actor added. "I think if we hadn't figured it out by now, I think we'd be in deep, deep trouble."

During his appearance, Reynolds joked that their house was like a “zoo” and said, “This is my office here and to be honest I'll probably spend the rest of my life in here!"
