Robbie Williams Biopic 'Better Man' Release Details

The biopic 'Better Man,' directed by Michael Gracey, uniquely portrays the life of pop star Robbie Williams by using a CGI monkey to represent him. The film, which has generated positive early reviews, chronicles Williams' journey from his childhood and boy band days with Take That to his solo career, emphasizing his struggles with fame, drugs, and personal demons. The creative choice to depict Williams as a monkey stems from his own description of feeling like a 'performing monkey.' 'Better Man' premiered at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals and is set for a limited release on December 25, followed by a wider release on January 17. The movie features Jonno Davies performing motion capture and voiceover for the monkey version of Williams, along with a supporting cast that includes Steve Pemberton and Alison Steadman.
