Robbie Williams is starring a biopic about his life, with an odd twist: He'll instead lend his voice to a CGI monkey. See the teaser for 'Better Man.'

British pop star Robbie Williams' life is captured by a monkey in musical biopic 'Better Man.'

The singer-songwriter, 50, has been working on the project since 2021 - with the film set for release on December 26.

Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Paramount Pictures released a trailer for Better Man, a movie that employs a CG monkey to portray pop star Robbie Williams.

Outside of a brief late-’90s run, Robbie Williams’ name hasn’t rung too many bells in the US. In the UK, however, Williams is the stuff of myth — the former boy-band bad boy who went solo and became an irrepressible and all-conquering pop star. Last year, Williams was the subject of a Netflix docuseries. Now, he’s getting a full-on big-budget biopic from the director of The Greatest Showman. This one has a twist: The role of Robbie Williams will be portrayed by a CGI monkey.
