Robbie Williams has made a name for himself as one of the UK’s most beloved pop stars, and now he’s stepping into the world of biopics with “Better Man.” In an exclusive interview with ET’s Cassie DiLaura, Williams opened up about the unconventional decision to have a CGI chimpanzee portray him in the film.
The biopic follows Williams’ journey from his time in the ’90s boyband Take That to his battles with drug addiction and his eventual rise to solo stardom. Williams shared that he wanted to tell his story in a unique and creative way, and the decision to use a CGI chimpanzee as his on-screen avatar was a way to bring a new and unexpected element to the film.
Williams explained that the use of the chimpanzee was a metaphor for the wild and sometimes chaotic nature of his early career and personal struggles. He praised the filmmakers for their innovative approach and expressed excitement for audiences to see a different side of his life on the big screen.
“Better Man” is now in theaters, and Williams hopes that fans will enjoy the film and gain a deeper understanding of the ups and downs he has faced throughout his career. With its blend of music, drama, and a touch of whimsy, “Better Man” promises to be a must-see for fans of Williams and music biopics alike.
