The new trailer for Robbie Williams‘ ‘Better Man’ biopic offers a first look at the singer as an ape.
The Rock DJ star is transformed into a chimpanzee in the film – which hits cinemas later this year – and, according to Robbie, it’s a reflection on how he views himself.
“I know what you’re thinking, what’s with the monkey?” he says in the clip. “I’m Robbie Williams. I’m one of the biggest pop stars in the world but I’ve always seen myself a little less evolved.”

Alongside the film, Robbie is set to release new music, with the song Forbidden Road appearing on its soundtrack.
Despite sure competition from Lady Gaga‘s ‘Joker’ and Ariana Grande‘s ‘Wicked’, sources say Robbie fancies his chances at Oscars success, sharing: “Robbie is excited not just for the chance to present his movie to the world, but also to have a crack at the Oscars.
“Paramount has faith in pushing the tune out to voters and promoting the track with their trailers and promos. Of course there are no guarantees, but he has a stellar reputation and a terrific ability to entertain and that could help his case.”
“Rob stands a great chance of being shortlisted at the Golden Globes, too. The voters are international and have a greater understanding of his contribution to the world of pop and long-term success.”
‘Better Man’ hits cinemas in Australia on December 26, with a wider release slated for January 17, 2025.
