Robbie Williams admits he believes Taylor Swift didn't know who he was when he joined her on stage in 2018 as he insists 'I'm a big deal'


The American megastar, 35, surprised fans with a special guest appearance from Robbie during her Reputation tour at Wembley Stadium six-and-a-half years ago.

Robbie said his theory is that Taylor only invited him on stage after her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who is English, suggested that he was big in the UK and would be a good choice of special guest. In a twist on the genre, the pop star is portrayed as a chimpanzee in the film, while everyone else in human, with Jonno Davies acting the movements via motion capture technology and Robbie doing most of the voicework. They also heaped praise on director Michael Gracey for creating the right balance of fun-filled choreographed musical numbers with deep emotional scenes and said the film does best when delving into Robbie's vulnerability.
