Posted by Robbie Williams will be played by a CGI monkey in new biopic Better Man.
The film was confirmed a few days ago, with The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey spearheading the movie.
Describing the star’s rise as a “superhero narrative” the director them assured fans that Better Man would be “fantastical”.
Now Digital Spy is reporting an unusual quirk – in the initial Deadline piece, Gracey said that Robbie would be portrayed in an unusual way.
Seemingly an answer has been found: Robbie Williams will be played by a CGI monkey in his own biopic.
The move was revealed amid the European Film Market, with Gracey commenting:
“It’s this fantastical story, and I want to represent it in its harsh reality all the way to these moments of pure fantasy…”
Bizarre.
