Mel Gibson’s drink-driving arrest was a “big wake-up call” for Robin Williams, the funnyman told Access Hollywood in an interview scheduled to air today in the US , as thewest.com.au reports.

“If you’re violating your standards faster than you can lower them, time to go away,” said Williams.
The 55 year-old actor announced he was seeking treatment for alcoholism less than two weeks after Gibson’s high-profile arrest in late July.

“Well, if (rehab) was good enough for him, I’ll go. I just think it was kind of like, well, he’s in, let’s go now”, said the funnyman.
Williams revealed he was sober for 20 years when he started drinking again.
