"The Insider" caught up with Robin Williams on Friday to talk about his new movie, 'Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,' and he opened up about John Travolta, his co-star in 'Old Dogs,' which is scheduled for release this November.

The typically jokey Robin got serious as he offered his thoughts on the death of Travolta's teen son Jett, who died earlier this year following a seizure. "As anyone would say, it’s the most hideous thing in the world, to lose a child," Robin told "The Insider," continuing, "and knowing [John], how sweet he is, it’s even moreso. So I reach out and I'll see him soon I think, at least by November, but it’s the type of thing of going, what can you say?"

  • Robin Williams is great. Love his movies, even the ones that aren't the "best" as per critics.
