Adam Tucker counts Pink, Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron among his fans even if they don't know it.
The man who provided the singing voice for Robbie Williams in his musical biopic Better Man described it as "the weirdest claim to fame".
"Millions of people have heard me sing but only a small percentage of them know they've actually heard me sing."While Williams sang some of the songs on the soundtrack, Mr Tucker estimated "about 90%" of the music heard in the movie was him. During recordings he had cameras trained on his mouth so artists at New Zealand special effects company Wētā FX could match the chimpanzee's mouth movements to his own.Working on the film has given the Norfolk musician a new appreciation for Williams.
Mr Tucker said his favourite songs to perform in the film were My Way and She's The One as both were pivotal emotional scenes. "There's something kind of fun about it. I was sat in the cinema watching it, and no one knew it was me... I felt like a bit like the Masked Singer.
