Robbie Williams' acceptance speech for Best Film at the AACTA Awards in Australia was a mix of self-deprecation and genuine gratitude.
Robbie Williams delivered a hilarious and self-deprecating acceptance speech at the AACTA Awards in Australia after his biopic, Better Man , won the award for best film.
The 50-year-old singer thanked a long list of personal struggles, including drugs, ADHD, depression, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, insomnia, dyspraxia, a lack of self-awareness, a lack of self-worth, a fear of social interaction, body dysmorphia, addiction, and alcoholism, quipping, 'without which none of this film would be possible.' He concluded his speech by jokingly referencing his 'lower than average sized penis.'The Angels singer, who stars in the film as a young man navigating the music industry, then lightheartedly encouraged the audience to join him in a rendition of their famous chant, 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, oi, oi!' Better Man, which chronicles Williams' life before fame as part of Take That and his successful solo career, has been praised by critics in the UK for its unique take on the jukebox musical biopic. The film has been a box office success in the UK, reaching number five, but has not fared as well internationally. Despite its mixed reception, Williams remains optimistic about the film's future and has expressed interest in a sequel. He revealed that there were many untold stories from his life that couldn't be included in the film due to time constraints. He hopes that the film's success will pave the way for a 'Better Man 2,' which could delve deeper into his extraordinary journey. Speaking to Australian DJ Sean Brown, Williams said, 'There is so much that didn’t make the movie. Only because we couldn’t fit it in – not because I was too embarrassed or ashamed to put it in… many stories. It would have had to be a five-hour film to fit everything in.' He added optimistically, 'And hopefully it does good and there is a 'Better Man 2.
