Robbie Williams makes admission about ‘unusual’ casting choice in new biopic about his life

The “unusual” casting choice to play Robbie Williams in a new biopic “made sense” to the singer – but it’s also helped with the film’s publicity.

“I love eccentricity and I love unusual and I love surreal – and it made complete sense to me as soon as he pitched it to me,” Williams said.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.
