Robbie Williams' 'Better Man' Premieres This Weekend

Robbie Williams' new biopic, 'Better Man,' directed by Michael Gracey, presents a unique portrayal of the British pop star as a chimpanzee, reflecting Williams' own view of himself as a 'performing monkey.' The film employs motion capture and CGI technology to bring this concept to life, with Williams providing input on performances, although he is unsure of which parts feature his actual singing. This unconventional approach highlights Williams' long-standing struggle with self-esteem, fame, and personal demons, themes he has previously explored in a 2023 Netflix series. Despite this unusual depiction, Williams has embraced the idea, describing it as 'genius.' 'Better Man' opens in theaters this weekend, providing an intriguing take on the life of one of Britain's most successful pop icons.
