THE Circle viewers went wild tonight as Robin Williams lookalike Tim did an impression of the late star.
The 58-year-old professor excitedly revealed his party trick as he quoted Robin’s famous character Mrs Doubtfire.
He said: “I do have a party trick!
“I can channel Robin Williams.”
He then launched into Mrs Doubtfire’s famous quote, saying: “Don’t mess with me.”
The moment entertained viewers who have fallen for the eldest contestant.
One fan said: “AS IF TIM JUST SAID HIS PARTY TRICK WAS CHANNELING ROBIN WILLIAMS! #TheCircle.”
Another added: “I see #Tim and think Mrs Doubtfire and Robin Williams he’s a sweetheart so far and I’m glad we’re not watching a bunch all in their 20’s #TheCircle.”
Someone else said: “Tim’s impression of Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire is the TV moment of the year we were all waiting for. #TheCircle.”
A viewer added: “Tim crying over Brexit and doing a Robin Williams impression. God I love him. What a wee gem the casting producers have found!”
Last night Tim was trending on Twitter in the UK as fans talked about his striking similarity to the actor.
The Channel 4 game show, hosted by Emma Willis, sees contestants take on any character they like as they communicate via messaging only with the other hopefuls in a bid to win £100,000.
It returned to TV screens last night, and Tim is the oldest ever contestant to take part.
Although he is able to take on any personality that he desires, Tim has decided to stick with his true identity as he settled into his new home with his pet cat.
Tim has lived a varied life, spending time as a monk before becoming a theatre designer and director, teacher, and even a goat-herder in Greece.
Interestingly, he described his personality as a mix between “Santa and Mrs. Doubtfire” – with viewers at home needing no convincing to see the latter, which is one of Robin’s most famous roles.
