Hold onto your hats, folks! Better Man, the eccentric biopic about Robbie Williams, is gearing up to hit theaters. Directed by the talented Michael Gracey—known for The Greatest Showman—this film promises a fresh take on the biopic genre. In a surprising turn, Robbie is depicted as a CGI chimpanzee! Yes, you read that right. Jonno Davies takes center stage, channeling the pop star’s spirit with added fur and cheekiness.
Premiering at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2024, and hitting U.S. theaters on December 25, Better Man is set to make your holiday season even more memorable. This musical journey will not only tickle your funny bone but also tug at your heartstrings, chronicling three decades of Robbie’s rollercoaster career—from his rise with Take That to his solo superstar antics.
The project was initiated in February 2021, with Gracey teaming up with Oliver Cole and Simon Gleeson to create something that transcends the typical rock star narrative. Filming took place at Docklands Studios in Melbourne and the iconic streets of London, where Robbie once strutted.
