I've been thinking that also, especially after hearing the news of how he killed himself, along with his drug and alcohol addiction as well as severe depression. It's sad, and it's pretty ironic, too.
Nonetheless, he was a good comedian for sure and I enjoyed most of his movies.
I'm not sure there is such a thing as "true personality." Most people who suffer from depression have two related personalities, the deeply depressed one and the usual one. When depressed we can sometimes put on the usual one. When not depressed we have no interest in putting on the depressed one.
The drug part I've avoided so far, but my guess is there are yet more possible personalities.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
