Jamie Costa’s impersonation of the late great Robin Williams has gone viral and everyone seems very impressed with what he’s able to do. However, Zelda is having understandably a difficult time with it.
While Costa’s performance is, shall I say, perfect, Williams’ daughter is having a hard time with everyone sending it to her and all of the Tweets she’s gotten. She took to Twitter to voice how it made her feel, and while she even says Costa is “SUPER talented”, seeing her father on one of his saddest says is weird.
“Guys, I’m only saying this because I don’t think it’ll stop until I acknowledge it … please, stop sending me the ‘test footage’. I’ve seen it. Jamie is SUPER talented, this isn’t against him, but y’all spamming me an impression of my late Dad on one of his saddest days is weird.”

Zelda Williams Begs People To Stop “Spamming” Her With Viral Impersonator Clip
One of the “saddest days” is her father finding out on the set of “Mork & Mindy” in 1982 that his friend John Belushi had died. The clip shows Costa as Williams hearing the news, and the 5-minute scene is breathtaking to the rest of us, but if you can imagine it being your father, it has to be difficult to watch.

The video, “ROBIN Test Footage Scene” has 3.5 million views already and has gone viral due to Costa’s performance. If there is indeed a film or biopic lined up, he’s definitely the man for the job. We would hope that Zelda would appreciate his talent in a feature and while she does admit he’s very talented, I can’t imagine what it’d be like to see someone so perfectly embody your late father.
Williams’ took his life in August 2014 at the age of 63 after battling Lewy body dementia and is widely regarded as one of the funniest people to ever live and has left his impression on generations.
