It’s not just protection from the drugs, he was providing for like 30 people when he died. What 23 year old is the sole breadwinner and provider for that many people? He had a family of selfish freeloaders who used him like a cash cow
River was a teenage icon that raised a young generation, which dreamed of being like him in the movies and Will knows it better than anybody because he worked with him on a set.
John was responsible but got away. If you know, you know. Autopsy reports proved that. Joaquin keeps his name alive. With his son. Naming him after. Btw River was so hot.
He was a kid just like River. He didn't want to get caught up with the drugs. What's wrong with that? You've got someone who needs adult intervention, not the help of a peer who could just as easily fall into the trap of the drugs. Come on. In the end actually a person themselves has to want to get help. Nobody can REALLY make someone change.
@@kramirezCordero it's about his elders. River's parents (mainly mother) took advantage of his career financially and forced him to be around these crap people
@@melisagalvalizi6982River was trying to get better, he even went sober for a couple of months while he was shooting a movie in another city but unfortunately once he got back to Hollywood he reunited with some of his shitty club mate friends again. not trying to say he wasn’t responsible for what happened but he was surrounded by a bunch of idiots who didn’t help him when he needed the most. he needed to get out of Hollywood and he knew that too, he was starting to get better anytime he was out of town.
River was an amazing actor. I wish someone had been able to help him. After I saw My Own Private Idaho, I really saw what a strong actor he was. He was in films that probably didn't help him much and though he was great, he looked like a depression case. So very sad.
May River Rest in Peace he's deeply missed we love him so much he was such an angel to this earth and we need him so much he was a high vibrational being living in a low vibration world may he rest in waterfalls and rainbows for Eternal Sunshine he had eyes like the skies
Will is so well spoken. He is completely true, the people around him should have gave River support, but River chose his path and how it sadly ended was horrible. But it’s important to remember that River and other similar people, such as Will were honestly just kids. The media and Hollywood can change how a person is when in the field of actors, especially at such a young age. Words cannot describe how much i adore River, his life ended so quickly but he was an amazing person. I hope River is in a better place now. Rest in peace ❤
Yeah Will has gone through some stuff in his life with family so he has a perspective on what help can give you, the stand by me words " never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone" i wonder if this really hits with Will because he was 13/14 when he did stand by me with River.
Will has every right to by angry about what happened to river he was right nobody protected river
Nobody seemed to protect Bobby Driscoll either. A very very sad story and life. River Phoenix and Bobby Driscoll both sadly died to young.
River liked to party. Nobody was gonna stop me either at 23. It is what it is
Seems like Johnny Depp and red hot chilli peppers got more popular when River died.... Does that ring any bell ?

It's crazy to see will as a grown man now. It's weird. Rip river
We remember you River on this 30th year of your passing !
Predatory “friends”

River’s parents never protected him either 😡😡😡🤬
💯 they took advantage of him
If this was today, he would have gone to therapy and realized his parents were toxic
River would have probably guest starred on shows like Criminal Minds or NCIS if he was still alive.
Why?
Angry that other people didn't help?
Exactly! Like, "what about you Will?, how come you are not angry at yourself?"
@@kramirezCordero he was a kid himself, dude. also, i'm pretty sure he's also referring to river's parents when he's saying that, just indirectly.

I totally agree with him
Wil is such a good man
far from it. you must not read his twitter much. the guy is a huge pos.
No not really
@@grey.7828 why?
It's sad will and river never got a chance to mend there relationship
😢 if river is still alive maybe they could have a reunion movie. Reality hurts 😢
River chose his own path

All these child actors - so many who seemed like they had it all, were really very troubled and abused. Sad stuff.
Wil Wheaton is so cool, such an articulate interesting man.
he is so right
100%😢
I blame flea for his demise rip river we miss you❤❤❤❤
Well said! I couldn’t agree more.
Poor River Phoenix. A very very trouble man who needed help and support.
May River Rest in Peace he's deeply missed we love him so much he was such an angel to this earth and we need him so much he was a high vibrational being living in a low vibration world may he rest in waterfalls and rainbows for Eternal Sunshine he had eyes like the skies
Thank u for posting this video.
Wil is right
very well said Will

Shout out to Will
May God bless you and keep under his care.
I am here if you need me.

What is this from?
From the docuseries 'The Dark Side of the 90s'
The leadership in California, and everywhere else that allows addicts to kill themselves on the street with their help, needs to hear this.
Is not hard to tell how close they were you can see it in puctures
Very good point 👉
If your weak, no amount of support will help you
To bad you couldn't intervene and tried to help him
You did not look out for him. You drifted away.
He was a teenager when river died how tfk he was suppose to help him 🤦♂️
@@fredyflores5391 Help by stopping the drugs. Being able to intervene.
@@fredyflores5391 Just call and talk, or go visit him. St.Paul,Minnesota.
Will was just as new to life as River was, how can you fault him when he himself was probably in survival mode and living his own life
@@softy4235 I did not find fault. Just pointing out what he said. St.Paul,Minnesota.
