Current Events > Has a celebrity's death ever made you cry?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I cried when Cantinflas died but I was like 8, and I cried when Norm Macdonald died. No one else really hit me that hard.

I cried when Godzilla died in the original movie.

Robin Williams

Just, why?

Same

Never.

Losing Patrice O'Neal, Norm Macdonald, Young Dolph, Mo3 were a tough pill to swallow, though. R.I.P.

Kobe Bryant.

Prince, David Bowie, MCA

No but when some dumbass news anchor started a puff piece about Henry Winkler that went on like an obituary for so long before getting to the point that I started tearing up.

It turned out to be press for Barry only for some reason it was the Sunday before the finale instead of before the first episode.

I'm going to be honest, not really -- but Amber Rayne's did slightly effect me, and I tear'd up a little when I contemplated that she wouldn't be making movies, anymore.

I didn't cry, but damn Robin Williams came out of nowhere and hit hard

Not cried, but Satoru Iwata really bummed me out.

Byron Daniel Bernstein.

Not really a celebrity but a Twitch streamer.

The sudden and nature of the news was quite upsetting.

Philip Seymour Hoffman.

And I remember the moment hearing that John Candy passed away while I was in my car. :(

David Bowie. Him and his music meant a lot to me growing up.

I had to fight back tears over Billy Kametz's death a few days ago. The entire situation was really tragic, and he seemed like such a great dude. He's done a lot of voices for characters that I love too.

michael jackson

nope, if i were to get some of their money, maybe

Robin Williams definitely got me choked up. It's still so heartbreaking to think about.

Actually Phil Hartman now that I think about it.

Robin Williams

I hear he had Lewy Body Dementia which has no cure and a life expectancy of like 5-7 years and he would have forgotten everyone he knew in that time frame so he probably took the not forget option. Honestly I cant blame them if that was the case.

Not yet, but there's a few that probably aren't far away that may do it in Bob Newhart and Dick Van Dyke. Although given their age, it won't come as a shock so I'll probably be okay.

Conan O'Brien is the only one that I know for sure would/will make me cry. Taylor Swift would fucke me up for sure.

George Carlin.

Billy Mays and Robin Williams. Billy Mays was my only companion in childhood insomnia, back before 24/7 channels were a thing and they only played ads and infomercials all night long.

Robin Williams understood my introverted, pondering, shy, put-upon childhood ass.

I haven't yet, but I might for Keanu.

Phil Hartman

Nah

Elvis, probably, but I was a toddler at the time who cried a lot anyway.

Not cry, but I've been saddened by the passing of a couple.

i didnt cry but i felt like shit about scott hall and david bowie all day

I got all good and wasted when Lemmy died, if that counts.

No

Yes.

I was 18 that year, and I was planning on the first thing I would save up to get as an official adult was a trip to see him perform.

Then summer came, and he went. :(

Anton Yelchin was probably the one that had the most impact on me but I dont think I cried. Hell go down as one of the saddest of all time to me.

Kobe and Norm MacDonald

idk if I cried, but David Bowie's death affected me harder than any celebrity death since.

My sister told me that Rowan Atkinson died as a kid, which was a filthy bold-faced lie, and then she made fun of me for being upset. I was pissed when I found out he was still alive.

No

Just Kobe. That was a rough day.

James Gandolfini.

Ray Liotta was a close one.

Prince
Mira Furlan
Paul Walker

David Bowie and Robin Williams for sure, but I was straight up sobbing when Terry Pratchett died.

Yeah, that was awful. I don't know that I've ever cried, but his murder was really upsetting. Others that really bummed me out would have to include George Carlin & Leonard Nimoy.

Steve Irwin and Hitchens both bummed me out. That's it.

No. Kinda bummed sure but never cried.
