In a recent interview, Matt Damon expressed hope for a permanent memorial to be erected in Boston Public Garden in honor of his late “Good Will Hunting” co-star, Robin Williams. Damon reminisced about filming the iconic park bench scene with Williams and proposed the idea of a bronze statue of the actor in the Public Garden as a tribute. This idea is not new, as a similar proposal was made following Williams’ death in 2014, but was rejected due to a moratorium on new statues in the area.
Despite potential obstacles, Damon remains optimistic about the statue becoming a reality, emphasizing the importance of honoring Williams and providing a meaningful space for those struggling with mental health. The statue proposal has gained attention and support, with many seeing it as a fitting tribute to the beloved actor who won an Oscar for his role in “Good Will Hunting.”
With discussions about the statue proposal resurfacing recently, Damon and others involved are hopeful that the idea will come to fruition. The tribute to Robin Williams in the form of a statue in Boston Public Garden would not only honor his memory but also serve as a beacon of hope and support for those in need.
