Here in the UK, we have always been aware of Robbie's struggles, and hear them played out in his songs, basically a soundtrack to his life. And he's always felt like one of us, especially with the cheeky grin (I know, they pay me loads for this). He's very real, in the way we would be,if we had that amount of money and fame. And so the Nation has followed and routed for him.😊

[@Jazzman5]

Having been to see Better Man at the cinema, I can tell you its fantastic. Lots of laughs, and even tears.

[@karenwoodhams4256]

His live performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2001 "Swing when you're winning" is phenomenal

[@CarlMansell-zs8xl]

Mr Bojangles and I will talk and Hollywood will listen still gives me goosebumps.

[@Adalinedaydreams]

The whole show is on KZbin. After watching the movie, please react to him singing My Way at the Royal Albert Hall (how the movie ends). It’s incredible 🙌🙌

[@FOAD666.]

Just got back from seeing this, in UK it came out 26/12. He's always been my secret listening pleasure, I'm more into punk/metal, but Robbie is excellent, I saw him live in Hyde Park this year, amazing. This film is brilliant.

[@CaptainFirefred]

We share the same taste and I think in another timeline he would have made it big in a rock band.

[@CaptainFirefred]

This is a beautiful and honest, ugly look back and I loved every minute of it. Be prepared for crying.

[@robhallam8047]

Watched this a week ago with my daughter...absolutely fantastic!!! Tears and laughs in equal measure as you'd expect from the Robsters story!!

[@mikewatts867]

I love seeing another man get teary eyed. As I’ve gotten older, I am no longer afraid to show my emotions. When Kobe died, it was amazing to see all these grown men allowing themselves to show their pain. You both are rapidly becoming my favorite reactors.

[@peckelhaze6934]

Robbie is a great performer.

[@neukenuk]

The trailer didn't give anything away. It's a great film. I laughed and cried.

[@Lspacehopper]

I saw the movie last Friday and loved it. Tears were shed and I'm just glad he managed to come out the other side. ❤

[@keithhassan7804]

Watched it on boxing day I laughed and I cried the best film I've seen for a while absolutely loved it..❤

[@LadyDoe17]

You should definitely check out his swing concert at the royal Albert hall. It’s a totally different Robbie, and shows his incredible talent. You will love it!. I guarantee!.

[@dimashukdears]

Robbie was my daughters guilty pleasure and now her son attends Robbie's University in London (LMA) where Robbie is co-owner, they also have one in Liverpool. He gives a lot to the students there and often visits them offering advice and inspiration. My Grandson is studying film studies. Funny how life unfolds. We're off to see his film this week 🤟

[@seanmc1351]

i agree with many comments, and i agree, his swing at the royal albert hall was his best work, my two favourites, was sammt davis mr bo jangles, and his last song my way, you could see the tears in his eyes, he knew he done something amzing, and he was right

[@nickallan179]

Just watched this movie.... it's so good!!!! I sang, I laughed and cried a lot. Amazing ❤

[@CarlMansell-zs8xl]

Watched it 3 times now. Best movie of 2024. It got a limited release here on boxing day. Highly recommend you watch it.

[@Kari_B61ex]

There is also a four-part documentary on Netflix. It includes about 30 years of behind-the-scenes footage and is really good.

[@no-oneinparticular7264]

I don't watch Netflix, on principle.

[@scottgraham5334]

It is amazing

[@SadieWatchman]

This is also quite a raw depiction of him and still funny as well. He is sitting there in his undies quite a lot....lol....worth a watch for sure. I might watch that again now too!!!

[@DEWDLES]

Great definitely recommend and some lovely footage of Robbie’s lovely chest 👀😂

[@johnpbh]

Thanks for letting me know that.

[@pnklady3788]

Went to see it yesterday!! Soooo good!! Have loved him for 3 decades, and this does NOT disappoint! (The initial Boxing Day release was only in selected theatres and it is on general release from mid Jan).

[@jontuson2078]

I watched Better Man at the movies tonight. It's well worth seeing. There's something for everyone, even if you're not a big Robbie fan. Get out there and see it. 👍

[@mariettebaker269]

Robbie Williams, a great showman and entertainer.

[@baronpilot100]

You’ve got to check out his 2024 New Year’s Eve performance of Rock DJ on the Graham Norton show. Amazing.

[@mrmitchell78]

I’m hoping that this movie gets him and his music much more recognition in the USA.

[@andylong6777]

Rob's autobiography, FEEL, is well worth a read.

[@jackchisnall9316]

You realy must do his swing songs all the old clasics, it's different and the perfrormance is amazing. I particularly like Mr Bojangles.

[@Godofthunderbay]

Great reaction, love Robbie. ...... and GO VOLS !

[@rosannecoyne9873]

I just got back from this movie. It did not disappoint!! I have been a fan of his forever & it was perfect! Hoping that Americans look into him further after seeing this movie ❤

[@Heidella]

It opened in the USA in AMC theaters. I saw it today. Why a monkey. He's always felt like a performing monkey. It made me cry. I always knew a lot about him but this movie filled in the missing pieces. It makes so much sense. Loved it. Will see it again.

[@msboomerizzle303]

I think you both should dip your toes into a bit of Take That. You could start with Take That and Robbie Williams virtual concert that they did during the pandemic. Obviously there was quite a bit of bad blood between Robbie and Take That after he quit and Robbie only kept in touch with Mark but they all made up eventually and Robbie even made new music and toured with them. This virtual concert was really enjoyable during the pandemic when we were all stuck inside ❤

[@mikewatts867]

Robbie’s always been raw and real and spoken his truth. I just hope his truth that is displayed in the film doesn’t harm his relationship with Gary again.

[@pnklady3788]

​@@mikewatts867He and Gary have spoken about the film... They're good.

[@hetster69]

Just been to watch it. It was 100x better than i expected. And honestly gives NOTHING away. Not one for the kiddies though :p , you'll love it, shows him to a tee. Part of me hopes you wait till its on streaming platforms so i can see your reaction BUT it should be seen on big screen.. Perfectly wait so i can see your reaction then go see it on big screen lol

[@87CVH]

This film really surprised me its up there with the freddie , queen one v emotional too

[@orelanavi2706]

robbie is truly a king! i've already seen the movie on monday and it's beyond incredible! don't forget tissues, you gonna cry. it's different from any biopic - the way the are showing issues here is amazing and heartbreaking. robbie doesn't shy away from the truth. he lay it all out and doesn't sugarcoat it. i loved the movie! and even me as a fan, learned some new things about him. it's truly a movie that anyone can watch. you don't really needs to know about robbie - you can go blind and still enjoy it. the movie touches subjects and approaches that other biopics never thought about. robbie is a real man who really likes the truth. the movie is raw, honest, funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming. i think any one of us can take something from this film. so many lessons to learn. it's safe to say that i absolutely enjoyed every second of it and can't wait to watch it again! ps: can't wait see robbie on tour next year! already got my ticket! ps 2: pls react to his Netflix documentary! I will pay for your reaction! it's 4 episodes, 4 hours total.

[@annepalmer4912]

Saw the film today, absolutely outstanding 👏

[@itz_cody01tiktokpfficial63]

The movie release only in England on the 26th becuase he wanted to release it in England first. He actully lives in the same city as me where both from Stoke but the film is amazing please see it whenever it realesses for you guys

[@peternolan5501]

There's a Greatest Showman connection in that the director knew Robbie so he sent him the music demos for the songs to listen to and called him up saying he needed a favour. Robbie got incredibly excited because he began to think maybe it was to star in it, but it turned out to be because he's also really good friends with Hugh Jackman and the director wanted him to persuade Jackman to play Barnham after originally turning it down. Of course, Jackman did at the rest is history. But there's also a connection in that Jackman explicitly based his Barnham on Robbie.

[@simondobson1980]

There’s a great live performance from Live8 where he steals the show, same way Queen did at Live Aid

[@danieldunne68]

Robbie has been sad for 30 years. He's made sure we all know about it. And thats before the film. However, we love him and are glad he's happy now. 😊 😊😊😊

[@mickt3390]

Me and my monkey is a must watch of Robbie ✌️✌️✌️🎅🎅🎅

Love seeing you watching your reactions to our shows 🇬🇧 saw your Peter Kay, this morning and the Liverpool match in Australia vlogs ❤ thank you ❤

[@avd1941]

The film is brilliant. For some reason it hasn't done well at the box office, but the critics love it.

[@eddiec1961]

Great reaction it should be a great film

[@IanGumbleton-je1bn]

You two are great may I suggest you react to his swing while your winning concert where he does the swing classics

[@kentthompson3836]

You've obviously reacted to some of his songs from Knebworth, try to see the whole set which goes by the title 'What we did last summer' it is a stunning performance!

[@kayanester2771]

It’s honestly somehow the movie it shows in the trailer and also an entirely different movie. I was surprised at how much I loved it

[@DomoJC]

Getting totally addicted to your reactions, you are amazing personalities and react so genuinely to what you watch. I admit to shedding a tear or two over your Christmas reactions! Much love from london, can’t wait for more in 2025 P.S you should do ‘Every John Lewis advert reaction’ it’s something that’s anticipated here every year 🇬🇧 💪🏻 🇺🇸

[@kirianderson8325]

Robbie is a great performer! he also is a cofounder of soccer aid a charity football/soccer match played by celebs and athletes to raise money in alliance with unicef

[@Dr_KAP]

Saw this yesterday (Boxing Day in Australia), so good. You guys still really need to react to Me and My Monkey - live - hopefully with some understanding of context as most reactors don’t seem to have a clue what the metaphor of carrying a monkey on your back means and so miss the meaning of the song. ❤ 🇦🇺 🐨

[@garyedwards2533]

Just got back from watching it at Odean Isense leeds Thorpe Park.......ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT....soooo loud awesome

[@esteban280889]

was wondering where the robbie content had gone. apparantly its really good. The netflix series is also worth a watch. Other songs to check out; Love my life, Lost, Me and my Monkey.

[@mjmellan]

Ive not seen the movie but the robbie williams netflix documentary is fantastic cus i remember those times, when he was dating ginger spice etc.

[@nuttegull]

I can't watch the movie in a cinema, because I know I'm going to cry.

Amazing gig, Mr Bojangles always gives me goosebumps, and I will talk and Hollywood will listen is classic Robbie.

[@colinstevens2691]

Yep, they should definitely check out Mr Bojangles from that

[@nicksmpsn6546]

Robbie Williams is one of these global artists, like Kylie Minogue, that for some unexplainable reason, the US has failed to embrace. Odd. Great reaction guys. Just hope your American viewers take note.

[@jasminewright6373]

I'm going to see it in cinemas tomorrow

My mother's favourite male singer. Basically grew up listening to him

[@68lyn68]

Robbie said its because he felt like a performing chimp,the eyes and expressions are robbie,this film is about his rise to fame and his downfall with drugs but to this day hes happily married with kids drug clean which is amazing

[@stevehunt4897]

You say it will be an introduction to Robbie? Maybe that’s true in the good ol USA who seem to have completely missed his point.. he is a worldwide star and true genius. I really love your reactions to him and this just maybe will wake the US up to him

Before watching the film, check out some old Take That videos. Then also check out The Flood from their reunion album, and Robbie and Gary’s duet Shame. I don’t think you need too much more context than what you’ve already learned, but the Take That time and their reconciliation might add a bit.

[@miggsc1059]

Please do more Robbie Williams, he has loads of vids to watch, Netflix doc you can react to it really is worth the watch.

[@richardedwards3485]

You really should watch the video of when Taylor swift brought Robbie on stage to sing his song angels and hear the crowds insane reaction

[@ChadDude96]

If you want to learn more about his group Take That, they put out a documentary in 2005 titled "For The Record" with all 5 members being interviewed to give their perspectives of the band's story. It's on KZbin. It lead to the 4 members meeting up since disbanding, getting closure from Robbie and reuniting the following year to a massive comeback. One of the very few groups to emerge out of the manufactured boy band stigma and evolve into a legitimate pop group. Definitely worth checking out.

[@Michael.Talbot]

You should check out his song called "Monkey", i like the live Knebworth version 👍

He is a Poundland Freddie Mercury. He literally can't sing. All he does is point his microphone at the audience and morons call that "charisma"

[@esteban280889]

@@TheOrlandoTrustfull why are you even here

[@gaviny7560]

Robbie has said that he often felt like a performing monkey hence he’s represented in the movie by a chimpanzee. An actor called Jonno Davies did the motion capture performance for the movie and, obviously, Robbie does the voice of the adult Robbie (with a child actor doing the same for the young Robbie). The song was submitted for the Best Song Oscar category but was rejected as it’s based on another song.

[@GjpgrD]

It wasn't based on another song. The first 2 lines sound similar to another song, but the Academy falsely worded their statement to make it seem like it was a blatant steal. Freddy Wexler, who came up with the melody, said he was thinking of a warm Cat Stevens type ballad. That was not who he was "accused" of copying. Also, Jonno is the actor; he does his own voice for adult Rob. Rob did the narration & singing.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Would love to see you react to the Rock DJ video if you have the time

I’m extremely disappointed that the Robbie Williams song Me And My Monkey is not on the soundtrack.

[@mikewatts867]

Except it sorta is. He is literally the monkey in the movie that he sang about. It think it would have been too obvious to include that song and it was a wise choice

[@scotfree21]

Robbie is brilliant in this. You just ask him. I hear he was the only one that didn’t need to wear a mask😄

[@CagedPaps]

Oh this makes sense. TikTok has been full of Brits responding to Americans saying they've no idea who he is and I wondered what he's done to suddenly be spoken about, and it's probably this trailer and the words "I'm one of the biggest pop stars in the world", so yeah that would trigger people to say - never heard of you. I remember years ago, maybe 20 years, he signed an £80m deal (about $160m at the time) for X amount of albums deal, was a British record at the time I think. He left to live in the US and basically went a bit weird, largely disappeared and got really into conspiracy theories and smoking the green stuff... Obviously moved on from that, but there is the odd podcast with him talking about that period and it's quite interesting. Like many Brits are commenting here, I'm not really a fan of his music, in the sense I don't buy or now stream his albums and I have absolutely zero interest in Take That (British Backstreet Boys of the 90s). But I know quite a few of his songs word for word and grew up on them. So I do find him an interesting character.

[@esteban280889]

The whole soundtrack is out now, some interesting changes to the rerecordings. Forbidden road has a nomination for golden globes, but sadly has been disqualifed from oscar contention

Why have you dropped all Ren reactions?

[@RNTV]

We deleted our only two Ren reactions over a year ago, only a few weeks after releasing them. I've gone into great detail about it many times, but it's understandable that not everyone knows the story. We were still very new to reacting and at that time we were trying to keep to keep vulgarity off the channel completely as we have younger family members that occasionally watch the channel. I saw a reaction to Ren from The Charasmatic Voice and she censored her reaction to Tale of Jenny and Screech. I did the same with ours. We received tons of hateful comments for weeks until we decided just to delete them and move on. Alot has changed with the channel and us since. It wouldn't go down like that now, but you can redo a first time reaction.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Don't explain your actions. I'm sure that pilchard will survive without a Ren reaction
