Netflix to make warts-and-all doc about Robbie Williams’ rollercoaster pop career

NETFLIX are making a warts-and-all documentary about Robbie Williams charting the rollercoaster ride that is his 25 year pop career.

The Angels singer, who’s now a married father-of-four, will also have his private life scrutinised including his many romances and break-ups.

Robbie, 48, has had a well-documented battle with booze, substance abuse and other personal issues since he shot to fame as part of boyband Take That.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Netflix documentaries boss Nhelesh Dhand said: “He’s at a point in his career, over 25 years in, where he’s really willing to sit down and reflect on what’s been an insane journey with the British public and he’s really willing to ‘go there’, not just to talk about his music and his success but also his addictions but also his battles with mental health.

“We show a version of Robbie Williams you haven’t seen before.

“It’s the story you think you know, but the person you don’t.”

The documentary, which is set to be released on the streaming service next year, uses thousands of hours of video footage made by filmmakers since he shot to fame as a solo artist.

The team behind the project includes director Joe Pearlman, who also made lauded music documentary, Bros: After the Screaming Stops.

A clip from the doc was shown at the TV festival yesterday and featured a piece of footage where Robbie sits stark naked pontificating about the meaning of life.
