Robbie Williams reveals Gary Barlow’s reaction to Better Man that led to script being changed

Robbie Williams has revealed that the script for his forthcoming biopic, Better Man, was amended after his former bandmate Gary Barlow expressed unhappiness with his portrayal.

Williams said that Barlow read the first script and thought he came “off worse than Darth Vader in Star Wars”.

In The Independent’s four-star review of Better Man, critic Clarisse Loughrey was pleasantly surprised when the chimp in the film turned out not to be a gimmick.
