Robbie Williams discusses Liam, Noel Gallagher’s depiction in ‘Better Man’
Robbie Williams has had his ups and downs with Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel Gallagher
Robbie Williams has revealed his guess about how Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher will react to their depiction in his biopic Better Man.
In a new interview, Williams and the film’s director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) discussed the depiction of Oasis and other elements of the biopic, where Williams is played by a CGI monkey, performed by actor Jonno Davies.
While both brothers are shown in the biopic, Liam takes a lot more screen time than Noel.
Williams noted that the duo are depicted in accordance with how they were back in the day, but with the “edges” taken off.
He shared how he thinks the duo will react, telling NME, “I think that there’ll be a bit of him that’s happy that he exists in it,” he said. “Did you send him the script Michael?”
“I don’t think Liam’s read it [but] there’s nothing in there that’s not common knowledge,” Gracey replied.
Williams then quipped: “Uh-oh! There’s not anything there that isn’t 100 per cent factual! That’s how he behaved! That’s the person that he was! And in a court of law, it all stands up.”
Robbie Williams and Oasis were initially on good terms but later things got soured. Ultimately, they seemingly reconciled in 2020 when Liam reached out to Robbie when his father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
