The Unlikely Rise of Robbie Williams: A European Superstar
Robbie Williams, a name that echoes through the streets of the UK, yet remains relatively unknown in the US. But why is that? With a biopic about his life, featuring a CGI monkey instead of an actor, it’s hard not to be intrigued. Before we dive into the movie, let’s put his European fame into perspective.
A Star Across the Pond
Williams is a household name in the UK, comparable to Justin Bieber’s level of stardom, but without the international recognition. To give you an idea of his massive following, he once played three consecutive nights at Knebworth, drawing in over 375,000 people – that’s approximately 125,000 fans per show! It’s no wonder he’s often referred to as a European superstar.
A Glimpse of His Success
While Williams may not be a household name in the US, he did have some notable hits, such as “Millennium” and “Angels,” which received significant airplay on MTV. Despite this, he never quite reached the same level of fame as he did in Europe.
The CGI Monkey Twist
So, what’s the deal with the biopic featuring a CGI monkey instead of an actor? It’s an unconventional choice, to say the least. But, surprisingly, the movie has received positive reviews, despite tanking at the box office. It’s the kind of film that sparks conversations, with people asking, “Have you seen the monkey singing movie?”
A Word-of-Mouth Phenomenon
With its unique premise and positive word-of-mouth, this biopic might just become a cult classic. As someone who’s now curious about this unusual film, I’ll be reporting back with my thoughts. Stay tuned for more!
