Who says rock stars can’t get better with age? Robbie Williams is proving that getting older only means one thing: more swagger, more heart, and definitely more eccentricity. With over 75 million records sold and 40 No. 1 hits, Williams has been through it all—and now he’s sharing his wild ride with the world in the new biopic Better Man. Spoiler alert: there’s a monkey involved. Yes, a monkey. And no, this isn’t the latest Planet of the Apes instalment—it’s Robbie Williams, the cheeky musician we all know and love, telling his story in a way only he could.
The Wild Ride of Better Man
In Better Man, Robbie takes us on a chaotic, emotional rollercoaster through his life. From the working-class streets to the dizzying highs of superstardom, the film doesn’t hold back. There’s fame, there’s fortune, there’s addiction, there’s heartbreak. It’s the rockstar life, but with a twist: the whole thing is narrated by a CGI chimpanzee.
You read that right. The director (because only a genius would think of this) decided that a mischievous, motion-captured ape would perfectly capture Williams’ internal struggles and larger-than-life persona. Why a chimp? Because Robbie himself said he was like one—always performing, always seeking the spotlight.

A Rollercoaster of Rock, Redemption, and Raw Emotion
This biopic takes risks, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out. The rawness and vulnerability of the film are coupled with light, perfectly timed mischief. It’s a movie that invites you to laugh, reflect, and most importantly, root for Robbie Williams as he navigates the chaos of fame and the complexities of being human. There’s a lot of pain—addiction, a heartbreaking relationship with Nicole Appleton, and, of course, the death of Robbie’s beloved nan. It’s like The Lion King meets The Hangover, but with a much more rock ’n’ roll edge.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to rise to fame, face your demons, and still manage to end up with a CGI chimpanzee telling your story, Better Man is your movie. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s surprisingly funny—just like Robbie Williams himself. If you’re into rockstars, redemption, and monkey business (seriously, who isn’t?), this film will hit all the right notes.
So, grab your popcorn and settle in for a wild ride. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably find yourself wishing you could be half as cool as a 50-year-old Robbie Williams.

Catch Robbie Live in Concert
But why stop at the movie when you can see the man himself live in action? On January 25th and 26th, Big Concerts is bringing Robbie Williams to SunBet Arena – and trust us, you’ll want to be there. He’s still got the voice, the moves, and that signature cheeky charm that’s been rocking stadiums for decades. Think of it as the ultimate double feature: Better Man on the big screen, then Better Robbie in person.
