Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams is the best-selling British solo recording artist of all time and has sold over 80 million records globally after launching his music career as a member of the boy band Take That. Williams has also made his presence felt in the movies, first as a voice actor in the UK/French-produced animated movie, known as The Magic Roundabout (2005) in its UK version in which Williams appears, (and Doogal in the US version), co-starring Ian McKellan, Bill Nighy, Kylie Minogue, Tom Baker, Jim Broadbent, Lee Evans, Joanna Lumley, and Ray Winstone under the co-direction of Dave Borthwick, Jean Duval, and Frank Passingham.
Williams was not only the subject but performed the voice-over narration of his own life story in the fanciful musical biopic (including several Williams songs) of his meteoric pop music career, Better Man (2024), which was directed/co-written/co-produced by Michael Gracey (and also co-written by Simon Gleeson and Oliver Cole), and starred Jonno Davies portraying Williams (as a CGI-generated chimpanzee!) in motion-capture performance, with Steve Pemberton, Kate Mulvany, Alison Steadman, and Damon Herriman, and released by Paramount Pictures (US/France)/Entertainment Film Distributors (UK)/Roadshow Films (Australia) after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival.
