Robbie Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey in the trailer for the biopic ‘Better Man’: Watch here

Robbie Williams takes on a whole new form in the trailer for his biopic, directed by “The Greatest Showman” director Michael Gracey.

The British pop star is portrayed as a CGI monkey, played by Jonno Davies, in the latest trailer for “Better Man,” which hits select theaters on Dec. 25 and out everywhere on Jan. 17.

“Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time,” reads a synopsis.

“This is my story. But I’m not going to tell it in an ordinary way, because I don’t see myself the way other people see me,” Williams says in the trailer, explaining the decision to visualize him as a chimpanzee.

Next, the clip features Williams as a chimpanzee performing on stage and pumping up a massive crowd for a concert.

“To be honest, I’ve always been a little underdeveloped,” Williams jokes.

The trailer covers his life story and shows his upbringing and his struggle with his image as he rises to fame.

A member of British pop group Take That, Williams found massive fame in the mid-1990s before splitting for a solo career, reuniting with the group in 2010 and again briefly in 2020. Williams has since been vocal with considering his experience with mental health issues and addiction during his rise to fame.

“Do I look like a pop star to you?” Williams asks in the trailer, which shows him filled with rage at times as he struggles with his future and ever-evolving fame.

The film stars Davies, who voiced and portrayed the chimpanzee version of Williams using motion capture technology, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno and more, as well as Williams voicing himself in parts.

In one video that explains the decision to portray Williams as a chimpanzee, Gracey explained that Williams said it was the animal Williams saw himself as most similar to.
