A unique biopic featuring world-famous pop star Robbie Williams has been announced in the trailer for „Better Man.“ In this film, Robbie Williams will be portrayed as an ape, offering a fresh and unconventional take on the singer’s life story.

The use of motion-capture technology will bring the ape version of Williams to life on screen, with actor Jonno Davies providing the voice for the younger version of the singer.
„Better Man“ is described as a satirical musical that will cover three decades of Robbie Williams‘ career, from his early days with Take That to his solo success. The film will offer a fresh interpretation of Williams‘ songs and aims to set them in a new context. The unique approach of the film is expected to provide audiences with a different perspective on the singer’s life and career.
