Brave Robin shows off scar

ROBIN WILLIAMS is dancing on Happy Feet following the success of his heart surgery.
Just eight weeks after his op, the Mrs Doubtfire actor bravely presented his scar on The David Letterman Show.

The Good Will Hunting star bounced onto the set wearing a T-shirt with a large heart on it and revealed he had been given a valve from a cow by medics.

He said: "I was on the road doing a tour and I kept getting short of breath. I realise now that shortness of breath is kind of code for 'heart problem'.

"Just like exhaustion is code for 'alcoholic'."

He added: "I have one new valve and a repaired valve. I have a cow valve and the grazing's been fun. And I give a good quarter cream, too. It's from the heart of a cow.

"They give you a choice. You can have a pig valve and then find truffles, or a cow valve. The mechanical valves last much longer. It's great but if someone uses a remote control, you fart."

Robin, 57, then showed a photograph of his chest that was taken just five minutes after going under the knife.

They also swapped 'war stories', after David himself underwent a quintuple heart bypass in 2000.

Robin, who stars opposite BEN STILLER in Night of the Museum 2, joked: "You beat me by four."

In true Oscar-style, he read a thank-you speech of the names of his doctors.

In 2007, his older brother ROBERT TODD WILLIAMS died of complications from heart surgery.
