Pop Star Robbie Williams’ Unconventional Biopic: "Better Man"
A Monkey’s Take on a Music Legend’s Life Story
Pop star Robbie Williams is taking his life story to the big screen with "Better Man," a biopic as unexpected as the man himself. Instead of being played by an actor, or even Robbie himself, he’s being portrayed by a monkey! You heard that right.
The Unconventional Choice
You may think you know the talented artist that is Robbie Williams, but you’ve never seen him like this. In the trailer, the CGI monkey playing Robbie says, "I’m Robbie Williams, I’m one of the biggest pop stars in the world." The use of a monkey to portray the pop star has raised some eyebrows, but Robbie says it’s a tool to get people talking.
The Story Behind the Film
The film takes a deep dive into Robbie’s meteoric rise to stardom, from his early days in the 90’s band "Take That" to headlining massive festivals solo. "Better Man" doesn’t shy away from the tough parts of Robbie’s life, but the singer says he’s just giving the people what they want. "Nobody wants to see people talk or sell their problems. They also want to see an arc. They want to see the beginning, they want to see the problems, but they want to see it resolved."
The Risks and Rewards
Telling his story didn’t come without risk, as it would also mean telling the story of the people closest to him. "I got concern from people because you know this is my movie and we use nostalgia as a tool to propel ourselves forward when you have this sort of job. But that doesn’t mean that people that are in your story are necessarily happy to be represented as the people they were to the person you were then." However, Robbie reveals that there is only one person who gets a bad edit in this film. "As it happens, really the only villain in the movies is me."
Conclusion
"Better Man" is a biopic that promises to be a wild ride, with a unique approach to storytelling and a candid look at the highs and lows of Robbie Williams’ life. With its release just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s debut.
