Robbie Williams is thoroughly enjoying his wander into the world of film, even if he is still learning the correct lingo. “I was at this thing called the Governors’ Ball the other night. That was amazing,” the singer says.
He is talking about the Governors’ Awards, held in Los Angeles, where he joined other guests including Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig.
“I’m super excited because it’s all brand new to me. I feel like an artist that’s just been signed. I’m full of hope, full of excitement, bewildered by it all.”
The project that currently has him walking red carpets with the biggest names in Hollywood is his biopic Better Man.
Better Man deals with Williams’ life from childhood, through the Take That years, to about 2003, the year he broke records by playing three huge gigs at Knebworth (with the aim of annoying Oasis, who had only managed two).
The twist in the tale, or tail, is that throughout the film, and with no explanation, he is portrayed on screen as a monkey.
To paraphrase the debut album of Williams’ old boyband, Ape That and Party.
Robbie Williams sums up Better Man as “the greatest hits of my trauma for the TikTok generation”.
And the film doesn’t shy away from dealing with his drug addictions and mental health problems, or when Nicole Appleton from All Saints was pregnant with their child and was pressured by people in the music industry, she said, into having an abortion.
“My part in her life I still have shame about. It’s the most difficult part of the film for me to watch,” Williams admits.
“The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey’s film has already earned a Golden Globe nomination for best song. And on Tuesday, he will find out whether Forbidden Road, which plays over the end credits, is among the 15 songs on the shortlist for the Academy Awards.
