Ben Stiller, Bono And Robin Williams Help Lance Armstrong Through The Tour De France (WATCH)

Lance Armstrong is in the middle of the Tour de France, as indicated by his hyperactive Twitter presence, and his celebrity friends have been stopping by to cheer him on.

First his "dear friend" Bono wished him luck on July 3, the eve of the race. Twitpic below.

Last Tuesday Ben Stiller made an appearance, goofing around on Lance's bike and sporting a yellow wristband. After a quick sprint he declared himself a specialist in "under a minute" races.

Robin Williams, who had heart surgery to replace an aortic valve in March, joined him after Stage 9 of the grueling 21-stage race.

"Robin Williams stopped by the bus after the finish. He's doing great and got his health back 100%. We made a vid I'll post later. Too funny," Lance tweeted on Sunday.

In the video Robin pokes fun at Lance's compression socks. "Look at this, all the sudden Lance has turned into an old Jew," he says. Then he lifts his shirt to show off his chest scar.

That reminded me of that evening scene on JAWS where the three guys show each other their wounds.
Fortunately Lance did not show his.

[Patti Reason]

I'm sorry....i­s that Robin Williams or Lech Walesa?

[schatsie]

you have it, it is Robin immitating Lech.....S­o happy to see his smiling face. Sure hope he is spending a week at Taize or Plum Village.

[krayonc]

heheheh...­.I like ALL the guys & thought they were ALL funny (I don't care what anybody else says)

Thanks for posting the videos Katy!

[kappa08]

Not a Lance fan...I hope he loses.

[Seaglass]

Oh, go back to your soaps.

[kobio]

Hahaha! I feel certain now, he'll win!

[Tressor]

Lance is the man - I am cheering for astana all the way. Here is a cool article about Lance:

Robin Williams looks exactly like Lech Walesa when he was fighting communism 20 years ago.

[dinglebe]

He's beginning to look like Wilford Brimley too.

[crayola 08b]

am i the only one who thinks that bono and robin williams look like twin brothers?

[brooklyncitizen]

i see it.

[NYCforObama]

Hilarious that Mr. Hewson had all that plastic surgery and now he's compared to ... Robin WIlliams?!

Don't worry, Paul. In a couple of years, it'll be Joan Rivers.

Keep those glasses on!

[IQ]

How this guy, Armstrong, continues to get a
universal celebrated PASS from his use of PED's is laughable.­...

[PengieP]

Probably because he's not using any banned PEDs?

[kobio]

Prove it! Oh yah, nobody has! Bitter much?

[learntofly]

Would love to hang out with Robin Williams or Bono, but Ben Stiller? I think I'd pass.

[marijam]

Robin Williams, I'm glad you came through your surgery ok.

[Ryan J R Crowe]

First cancer, now Bono?

[Saysaysay]

Yeah, I'm sure he needs those dullards.

[gawd]

Lance is so beautiful.
Ben has the worst hair ever.

[nakedhand]

give him a break, he is trying to cover up his ears.

[Jazzineva]

Sweet videos. I just wish more was said about what Lance is really doing with Livestrong. His foundation to fight cancer is so increcibly important as much, much more is always needed. And Lance truly is dedicated to helping. When the son of a friend of my relapsed with leukemia, he sent him a very special personal message of encouragement and support. Since they've been acquainted, I associate Lance more with his foundation than with the Tour de France. He's a great man.

[HelloooCanada]

i guess ben stiller is there to keep the astana team serious and on task, as he is the least funny and/or jovial person in the country...
