Williams entertains 'August Rush' co-star

NEW YORK -- Robin Williams can find comedy anywhere, even in New York's Central Park when a coyote is on the loose, says Freddie Highmore, his "August Rush" co-star.

"He's always on. He's always telling jokes," Highmore told reporters in New York recently.

"His brain must go so much quicker than everyone else's and he's waiting for everyone else to catch up the whole time after he's told his jokes," Highmore said.

"There was one time when we were shooting in Central Park and it was the time when this coyote had escaped and so all of the police and the helicopters were chasing it and (Robin) teased me because I was English that we'd be going around (like it was) fox hunting. (He'd say:) 'Tally ho! Let's go and chase the fox!' Which was a good laugh."
