"At the end, he's kind of shedding everything. Maybe I should go full. And that's how we work. It wasn't done for a laugh. It's cathartic at that point, he's going full-tilt breakdown," Williams said about his character.

However, it was not easy as Williams who took a long time to get waxed for a nude scene in World's Greatest Dad, Los Angeles Times reported.

The idea to get hairless for the climax of the film was apparently initiated by Williams but it was a tough act as the women doing the wax job had to take a break during the waxing session.

Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, World's Greatest Dad, stars Williams alongside Alexie Gilmore, Daryl Sabara, Geoff Pierson, Henry Simmons and Mitzi McCall.
