After the incredible performance in Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples on the occasion of the finals of X Factor, Robbie Williams also took center stage in Rome. The British pop star, protagonist of the cover of Vanity Fair, stopped in the capital for the Italian premiere of Better Manthe live-action musical that tells his life storybetween ascent, stumbles, disappointments and irrepressible joys.
The setting for the event, organized in collaboration with Alice nella città, was the Auditorium Parco della Musica, which hosted an exclusive red carpet in the Cavea, which preceded the screening which took place in the Petrassi room. The first it was obviously the one who plowed it Robbie Williams who with his charisma and contagious friendliness attracted all attention.
With him the director and co-writer Michael Graceywho decided to give the singer an undoubtedly particular face on the big screen. The actor Jonno Davies who interprets it is in fact transformed into a monkey in CGI. «It’s a particular story and Robbie is a unique character. I wanted to make sure that the way we depicted his life was equally creatively unique,” he said.
A choice appreciated by William who said: «My life appeared to me like the execution of a tightrope walker routine without the harness of safety. I feel like I can fall at any moment and many times I do.”
Many Italian celebs walked the red carpet Capitoline for the premiere of a film that Williams himself, speaking to journalists upon his arrival, defined as “the best you will see this year, next year and the year after”.
Among these the actress Elena Sofia Ricciwith her daughter Maria Mainetti.
Radiant and fresh from a marriage proposal, she also made an appearance Aurora Ramazzotti.
The singer didn’t want to be missing either Aries.
As well as the actress Desiree Popperon the red carpet together with the actor and director Maurizio Lombardi.
And the singer-songwriter Giovanni Caccamo.
The film will arrive in Italian cinemas on January 1, 2024 and a global success is promised, driven above all by an audience of Millenials who grew up with the songs of Take That, who after their dissolution split into two factions that are still very distinct today: those who were in love with Robbie Williams and those who blamed he bears all the blame for the end of the dream.
Better Manretraces the stages of meteoric rise, fall and extraordinary rebirth of the singer, and will probably help both parties to understand that, perhaps, a single truth does not exist and in the end what remains are the songs of an artist who, by choosing himself, won the bet, becoming a planetary star.
At the end of the screening, Robbie Williams entertained those present with a live performance and was the protagonist of a Q&A moderated by Alessandro Cattelan.
