Robbie Williams in the cinema: A monkey tells the moving life of the star!

Saint-Tropez, Frankreich - Robbie Williams, an iconic British musician, has a remarkable career behind him, characterized by ups and downs. This is now made tangible in his new film bib "Better Man", which can be seen in the cinemas from January 2. Unlike in traditional biopics, Williams is embodied in this film by a monkey, which the singer himself describes as a metaphor for his personal perception. "The monkey is the way I have always seen myself in real life," explains Williams in an interview with Prime Video. This creative concept causes a sensation and shows that the presentation of his life is unconventional, while the audience can enjoy a roller coaster ride through his career.

The representation of the monkey, which is embodied by actor Jonno Davies and then transformed into a monkey with the latest computer technology, is innovative and is reminiscent of the impressive effects in films such as "Planet of the monkey" and "Lord of the Rings". Williams himself subsequently synchronized the voices and dialogues in post -processing. The film deals with various aspects of his life, including its beginnings at "Take That", the challenges of his drug addiction and the moments of triumph, such as his legendary appearance in Knebworth in front of 375,000 fans.

As early as the summer of 2023, a video by Williams caused a sensation on a yacht near Saint-Tropez, in which he sings with the swing cover band Phly Boyz. In the short clip he wears a striking suit and shows himself in a good mood, which underlines his status as the "Ultimate Worldwide party band", as they describe itself. This combination of glamor and musical talent is impressively presented in “Better Man” and promises to captivate the audience and to encourage them to think about one of the most successful artists in modern music history.
