In a groundbreaking twist for biopics, Robbie Williams is set to be portrayed by a CGI monkey in the upcoming film Better Man, directed by Michael Gracey. The film, which premieres on December 25, chronicles the life of the British pop icon, showcasing his rise to fame with Take That, struggles with mental health, and eventual resurgence.

The decision to depict Williams as a chimpanzee stems from his own humorous perception of himself; he quips, “I’ve always seen myself a little less evolved.” The film's trailer has already sparked widespread curiosity and amusement, racking up millions of views online. Critics suggest that this unique approach could offer a refreshing perspective compared to traditional music biopics like Rocketman (Elton John) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie Mercury/Queen).

With Jonno Davies performing the motion capture and Williams lending his voice, Better Man promises to blend humor with heartfelt storytelling in an unprecedented way. As fans await the release of Better Man, the best place to enjoy all his hits, including Robbie Williams Angels and other iconic Robbie Williams songs, is Exclusively Robbie Williams on YouRadio.
