Robin Williams famously voiced the big blue genie in the 1992 animated classic Aladdin. For Disney’s live action version of the same, Will Smith was roped in to do Williams’ role and the former paid a sweet tribute to the late actor.
He shared an image of the two genies on Instagram, and wrote, “I know Genies don’t have Feet… But you left some Big Shoes to fill,” the 50-year-old wrote of the comedy legend, who died in 2014. “R.I.P., Robin!”
