The star has been working on Better Man since 2021 – the film is scheduled for release on December 26.
The singer is played in the film by actor Jonno Davies in the form of a CGI monkey. While Jonno takes on the role of the younger Robbie, the singer can be heard in voiceover and later plays the older version of himself.
The official synopsis reads: ‘Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall and remarkable revival of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
“Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (“The Greatest Showman”), the film is uniquely told from Williams’ perspective, capturing his signature humor and indomitable spirit.
‘It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to the youngest member of hit boy band Take That, to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – while facing the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.’
Last week Robbie revealed his beloved mother Janet’s dementia diagnosis. four years after the singer revealed his father Pete had Parkinson’s.

Robbie revealed that his mother Janet has been diagnosed with dementia. The diagnosis comes four years after the singer revealed his father Pete had Parkinson’s (pictured together in 2019)
When asked about his parents’ thoughts on the film, Robbie told HELLO! ‘My mother currently has dementia – like my grandmother in the film – and my father has Parkinson’s and can’t get out of bed. So I’m in a different part of my life now.’
In 2020, Robbie revealed that his father Pete had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, admitting at the time that he was battling “anxiety and panic” over his father’s diagnosis.
He told The Mirror that getting diagnosed during Covid made things extra difficult because he and his wife Ayda and their children were thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles.
We have a lot of family problems right now. My father has Parkinson’s, my mother-in-law, whom I love very much, has a very serious disease. We can’t get to them. My father is thousands of miles away.’
Robbie added of his mother at the time: “My mother is just a year short of 80 and she’s isolated and I can see things turning around in her head and her eyes going.”
The former Take That star was joined on stage many times by his father Pete, who is also a singer.
Robbie’s parents separated in 1977. The pair also share daughter Sally, who is 11 years older than Robbie.
