Synopsis
A unique profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams. It took a year and a half to get permission to film the lavish dance sequence on Regent Street in London over four nights, as it is actually owned by the British royal family. Two nights before the scheduled filming, after a week of rehearsals at the studio where they were filming the street, Queen Elizabeth II died and filming had to be postponed. Everyone had to pay, including the shops and crew, and the production’s insurance did not cover the losses due to the monarch’s death, so the producers had to raise additional funds to film the sequence, which was filmed five months later. The title character, Robbie Williams, is portrayed as a chimpanzee. Robbie Williams is not actually a chimpanzee.
