Matthew Lawerence wants to resurrect Robin Williams' voice with AI
Matthew Lawrence wants to resurrect Robin Williams with a modern-day twist. Lawrence, 45, told Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend that he wants his 'Mrs. Doubtfire' co-star — who died by suicide at age 63 in 2014 — to become the new 'voice of AI.' 'I would love — now, obviously, with the respect and with the okay from his family — but I would love to do something really special with his voice because I know for a generation, that voice is just so iconic,' Lawrence said.

Matthew Lawrence wants to use AI for 'something special' with Robin Williams' voice
Matthew Lawrence wants to use AI to do "something really special" with the late Robin Williams. The 45-year-old star played one of the comedy legend's children in Mrs Doubtfire and he is keen to get the consent of the late actor's family to work on a project using the voice of Robin, who took his own life in 2014. Matthew told Entertainment Weekly: 'Obviously, with the respect and with the okay from his family, I would love to do something really special with his voice, because I know for a generation, that voice is just so iconic. 'It's not just the fact that I knew him and worked with him. "It's in my head, it's in everybody's head, and it would be so cool." Matthew got the idea of using AI to recreate Robin's voice after he saw an old commercial starring the Good Will Hunting star which made him realise there were parallels to the modern day. He explained: 'It's kinda like this very contemporary, modern, almost sort of foreshadowing of what's going on commercial that he did, where he did this computerised voiceover. 'And it always stuck with me. And then, during his passing, with the AI coming out, I'm like, 'Man, he's gotta be the voice of AI. He's gotta be the voice in something.' So yeah, I would love to do that.' One thing Matthew would love to use AI to do with Robin's voice is to give out driving directions on a phone. He said: 'It would be so cool. I'm telling you." The former Boy Meets World actor previously praised Robin for the way he treated him like an adult when they made Mrs. Doubtfire. He told People magazine: "He really opened up. I was only 12. I mean this guy … Man, he was just so amazing to be able to give me the respect, almost as an adult, at 12 years old, to really get an open look into his life, the performer side and then also the private side, and how they wrestled with each other." And even after filming on the 1993 movie was complete, Robin made sure he stayed in touch with his young co-star and offered him advice when he needed it. Matthew said: "He stayed a part of my life, you know? That movie could have wrapped [and] like everybody else, he could have gone his separate way, but he didn't. "He stayed invested, and he gave me some incredible life lessons that definitely kept me from some dark places at times. And I'll just never be able to thank him enough for that."

Danielle Fishel reveals she still has some of the hair she chopped off nearly 30 years ago on 'Boy Meets World': 'I have the biggest chunk!'
Topanga's big chop was an iconic moment in the Boy Meets World universe — and Danielle Fishel said her mom kept a memento of it after all these years. Fishel, who played Topanga, previously discussed sharing her locks with in-studio audience members after she snipped her hair during the season 4 episode "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow." But to her surprise, Fishel discovered that she hadn't gotten rid of all the strands. On the most recent episode of Pod Meets World, the actress said her mother, who kept all of her Boy Meets World memorabilia, recently gave her a chunk from that nearly 30-year-old episode. "I have the biggest chunk," she said. On the show, Topanga tries to make a statement about vanity by chopping off her beautiful, long hair, but it backfires as the teen spirals out of insecurity. In real life, Fishel had wanted to get her "first adult haircut" for months before the episode, but the producers wouldn't let her touch her head until they could write it into the show. Even after the producers agreed to let her cut her hair, Fishel said they argued over the length. "It was an actual negotiation," she said in a previous episode of the podcast. "And there was a lot of stress about whether or not I was gonna listen because [they] knew I had all the power with the scissors in my hands." The audience gasped when she snipped her real hair, but they were eager to get a piece after the taping ended. Now, Fishel is uninterested in sharing the rest of the loot with others. After costar Will Friedle suggested auctioning off the hair for charity, Fishel shut down the idea. "Whoever buys that, what do they do with it?" she asked. Instead, Topanga's iconic chopped hair will remain in her garage for the rest of her life — or until Fishel's kids clean it out of the house. Listen to the entire episode of Pod Meets World below.
