Some thoughts from Robbie in today's interview about Taylor and their performance in 2018.

As I know his daughter is a big fan of Taylor. As he jokes - even better than his :)

"I love Taylor Swift. Who doesn’t and who can’t?” he said. “There are levels to this stuff, and she is achieving levels that have been unreached, unmatched. When I was in my pocket of omnipresence, I couldn’t help but go, ‘Hey, the crazy’s showing itself. Hey, this is what crazy looks like. This is making me crazy.’ And people went, ‘Oh, he’s being crazy.’ ‘Yes, I am. I’m insane right now, and I’m having a nervous breakdown.’ The poise that she has and the way that she is navigating very, very unfair things leveled at her — she’s just a girl singing some songs, trying to entertain people. Obviously, with great love comes great hate too. With omnipresence, comes the crazy and she’s navigating it all so well, it would seem from the outside.”

But in reality Rob was on US Sirius XM radio today.

It's rather fast, frogec...

Nice answers by Rob and Michael here...

Robbie is in today's show in France (well, pre-recorded, of course).

No signing

Sorry, deleted Travolta because it's in Promo 2025 topic :)

But funny one!

Anyway, this is great memories about Parky :))

On drugs on own birthday, isnt't it? ))

Top level :D

And Ewan near with him!

Haven't seen this interview but read this is a good one.

The interviews is a big US fan of Robbie.

Should be lovely as well :)

Yes, She's The One scene is F*cking fantastic. Well, there are a lot of amazing scenes... Come Undone... Take That moment with promoter... Many many...

Cool!

April 4? It's good date.

Btw, there is premiere of the movie in Poland today, while France will get its release in a week, Jan-22.

So some people say before not all countries even started to show Better Man.

Yes, it's 11.9M USD WW by yesterday.

This lady said so many good words about Robbie in the beginning...

I think Robbie is really enjoying the moment when all interviews are all about art, even if this art is mostly cinematography.

Many deep conversations, all this stuff around the movie on social networks, defo new kind of feelings... I swear he should get a boost of new topics for his lyrics. It's the best point of everything we're seeing nowadays.

I think you both also right.

Well, anyway, I'm waiting for Laura's news about Box Office ;)

Let me be a little bit crazy but I want to play the game with two movies: The Brutalist and concerts movie Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour.

The first one (I already started) I want to compare with BM at WW $ results in the end. Because, again, maybe it will be the Best Picture at Oscars.

While the second one I want to compare with BM at International $ results (without UStates) in the end: country by country. Because it's Taylor and everybody to compete with the best ones.

(I talked to my friend in Czech Republic yesterday and she surpised me to say Taylor's movie was a flop in the country, so after I thought it could be interesting to look at the other countries (I'm not American! :D) between Taylor and Robbie Williams)

Again, it will be my own game and I will be back with statistics from time to time :)

I wonder, why do his friends in the industry (Adele, Olly, Louis, Pet Shop Boys, Ed, B.Flowers, Elton) haven't mentioned anything about the movie?

Just haven't watched this? Friends usually support friends. Well, of course they sent emails ;)

It's irony that only Pink (who didn't know him up to Graham Norton) wrote her kindly message to everyone.

Congratulations, guys!

You're fantastic team. Come on, Minogues!

Not real?
