Breaking Baz: Robbie Williams Cheekily Asks Americans In ‘Better Man’ Audience To Forgive Use Of 4-Letter Word “That May Be A Trigger Warning To Some” — Telluride Film Festival


At the Telluride premiere of Michael Gracey's musical biopic 'Better Man', Robbie Williams asked the audience to forgive a four-letter word.

Superstar singer Robbie Williams displayed his signature cheekiness at the world premiere screening of Michael Gracey ‘s musical biography Better Man when he asked members of the audience at the Telluride Film Festival to “suspend your absolute bigotry” over a word that most Americans find offensive. It was a smart move to introduce a touch of very British down-to-earth humor to explain why a word that many Americans find unacceptable was being used in the movie. Also, the film is such an emotional rollercoaster, that folks weren’t sitting there clutching their pearls over how many times they might’ve heard count.
