Robbie Williams — who rose from the boy band Take That to become one of the biggest UK music icons of the 1990s and early ’00s — is transformed into a singing, dancing chimpanzee thanks to the wonders of CGI in "Better Man.

British pop star Robbie Williams talks about his biopic 'Better Man,' confronting past behaviors, '90s feuds, and more.
