British pop royalty Robbie Williams is gearing up to score a worldwide hit with his new biopic Better Man.
Robbie’s new biopic has been steadily drumming up global interest, even from people who have never heard of Take That. While the new movie tells the singer’s life story, it comes with a bizarre twist. Instead of an actor playing Robbie, the singer is portrayed as a CGI anthropomorphic chimpanzee, giving it a Planet of the Apes vibe.
Robbie lends his voice to the movie, while the monkey character was performed by Jonno Davies in a motion-capture suit.
