Robbie Williams, the legendary English pop star, is the subject of a new biopic titled “Better Man.” However, what sets this film apart is the fact that Robbie is portrayed by a CGI chimpanzee. The director, Michael Gracey, explains that this unique choice stems from Robbie’s own self-perception of feeling like a “monkey” when performing on stage.
Despite initial reservations about the unconventional portrayal, Robbie eventually embraced the idea and even wrote a new song, “Forbidden Road,” for the movie. The film features revamped versions of some of Robbie’s biggest hits, offering a fresh perspective on his iconic music.
Robbie is thrilled for audiences to experience “Better Man,” emphasizing the film’s quality and encouraging viewers to spread the word. The biopic is set to hit selected theaters on December 25, with a wider release scheduled for January 17.
In addition to his musical achievements, Robbie’s journey as a performer and entertainer is highlighted in the film, providing insight into the man behind the music. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of “Better Man,” the biopic promises to offer a unique and engaging look at the life and career of one of England’s most beloved pop stars.
