Reflecting on his New Year’s speech, Williams expressed: “I’ve always had a soft spot for Australia. Since I first came here on my solo tour in 2003, Australia has accepted me for who I am, and that’s the best feeling. So it was a real honor to entertain the nation in front of the iconic Sydney Harbor countdown to the New Year.”

During the show, fans were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of his new musical biopic, Best Man.

Talking to NME about the film, Williams reflected on seeing his life portrayed on screen: “Tears. And it works. And grief. And healing. And ego. And: ‘Look what happened to me!’ It just depends on which version of me shows up on the show that particular day—and how much sleep I get.”

“I just want to savor every moment. I’m finally at a stage where I can enjoy life again, having felt fortunate to be here and to get another piece of the apple.”

In a three-star film review, NME noted: “Best Man starts out like a John Lewis advert and turns into an R-rated mishmash that does too much while barely touching on Robbie Williams’ career. It’s a bit messy: some good, some bad, and all somewhat chaotic. However, a musical with monkeys is a bold move that few would undertake. You can’t fault the ambition.”

In other news, Williams recently expressed a desire to return to school and retake his GCSEs.
