Robbie Williams was recently the star attraction at the European premiere of his much-anticipated biopic, Better Man, which took place at the Lio London in Leicester Square. The intimate afterparty saw a gathering of notable guests from the world of showbiz, including singer Ellie Goulding, presenters Matt and Emma Willis, Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts, and comedians Leigh Francis and Rob Brydon.
At the event, Robbie showcased his impressive weight loss, attributing part of his transformation to the weight-loss drug Ozempic. Wearing a tight tank top paired with white flared trousers, he beamed with confidence as he entertained the crowd. In a playful manner, he remarked to the audience, “So what do you think? What do you think? Not f***ing bad eh! Brought to you by big pharma.” He elaborated, noting that the key components of his appearance included various pharmaceuticals such as HGH (human growth hormone) and Prozac.
During his performance, Robbie humorously altered the lyrics of Frank Sinatra’s classic “My Way” to reflect on his experience with Ozempic, singing, “I’m on Ozempic, sometimes you follow through”—a nod to the growing trend of weight-loss drugs in Hollywood.
Aside from celebrating his achievements, Robbie couldn’t resist taking friendly jabs at his contemporaries, particularly the Oasis brothers, Liam and Noel Gallagher, regarding their use of dynamic ticket pricing for their upcoming reunion tour. “I don’t do dynamic pricing but I f***ing would have loved to have done. Thank f those bastards did it first,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the attendees.
The biopic, set for release on December 26, portrays a raw and honest glimpse into Robbie’s life, showcasing his struggles and triumphs. Notably, it features sensitive moments from his earlier relationship with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, which has been a source of both creativity and heartache for him.
As he expressed gratitude for the support he received from both colleagues and fans, Robbie dedicated a heartfelt moment to Nicole, describing her participation in the film as incredibly brave. He remarked, “People keep coming to me saying I’m very brave doing the documentary and the film. But I’m on the f***ing spectrum man, I am not picking up any cues of what should or shouldn’t be said. I’m not being brave, I just don’t know when to shut up.” This candidness highlights Robbie’s ongoing journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
All in all, the evening was a celebration of both his personal and professional milestones, promising that Better Man will resonate deeply with audiences looking for authenticity in a performer who has long been a fixture in the music industry.
