RIP Gene Wilder. A true icon.

 

[Darkness Falls]

feel like i've been kicked in the stomach finding out about Gene Wilder
he is one of my all time favourite actors

His comedic Timing and delivery is unmatched
feels eerie cause i was only talking with my father about blazing saddles last night and how hilarious he is in that movie

truly a sad day for hollywood losing one of their brightest stars r.i.p gene

 

[Immortalfire]

So long to another genius of his craft

 

[roach]

Damn

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Gene Wilder was not only an icon, he was one of those far and few between celebs who genuinely seemed like a sweet person.

Everytime the guy was on screen I wanted to give him a big hug.

And I don't say that about 99% of celebrities. It was just something about Wilder.

He seemed like the coolest uncle in the world.

RIP

 

[C. Lee]

RIP Mr. Wilder.....thank you for the years of happiness and escape from the real world.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Gene Wilder, a great actor and a great man. May he rest in peace

 

[TheDreamMaster]

RIP Gene Wilder. What sucks even more is with his sickness he sort of faded out of the spotlight through the 90's and beyond. Though apparently he was in a Yo Gabba Gabba episode in 2015, plus a few things here and there between then.

 

[SuperSanchez]

The statement made about his sickness was something along the lines of, he didn't wan't to tell people he was sick because he didn't want kids who were fans of him playing Willy Wonka to think he was old and sick because apparently kid's still recognized who he was. Such a beautiful soul, rest in peace

 

[samsnee]

Damn. RIP Gene Wilder.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was always one of my fav comedies growing up.

That was one of the first time I saw naked boobs on screen so I have a sentimental attachment.

 

[samsnee]

Has anyone heard from Gene Hackman lately? For some reason I think he's probably getting up there too.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Ya that really sucks. So many classic movies.

 

[AnneFan]

RIP Gene. A true great, one of my favourites. Thanks for the memories.

 

[Superhero 101]

RIP Gene you were the best.

 

[Duke]

This totally sucks!!! Gene Wilder passing does hurt for me. He was one of my favorites, I always enjoyed watching his films, brought laughs to me & always warmed my heart. I loved him in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Stir Crazy, Blazing Saddles, Hanky Panky, The Silver Streak, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Another You, Young Frankenstein, & Bonnie & Clyde (big screen debut). RIP Mr. Wilder, you were one of the greatest.
