On My Screen: Robbie Williams Reveals Why Biopic ‘Better Man’ Made Him Cry, Career Memories And Why He Never Sings Karaoke


Robbie Williams reveals why biopic 'Better Man' made him cry, career memories & why he never sings karaoke

When one imagines a musical biopic of storied singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, a CGI chimpanzee in the lead role is not an obvious choice. However, Better Man, in the hands of writer-director producer Michael Gracey( The Greatest Showman), sees that proverbial ‘performing monkey’, played by Jonno Davies, become key to a poignant tale of dehumanizing celebrity. Better Man documents his early family life, his struggle with celebrity and addiction and his journey to recovery and resolution, set to the sound of his own music.
