Loving Robbie's new look with his grey hair, his suit and those great glasses. The specs really suit him.

Oh dear! Looks like I'm the only Robbie Williams fan here.

Not a fan as such ..but I’m definitely interested in the film they talked about.
The one show has a very odd way of “ interacting” with their guests though.
Never watch normally.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Robbie. Take That were on that breakfast programme (was it The Big Breakfast?) and he stood out from the rest of them, he was so funny.

No you aren't! I missed this thread.

I think he has matured brilliantly. At one stage i feared for his sanity but he was fabulous

I love Robbie. My DD was an avid Take That fan and he was the one who caught your eye at concerts.
I think his wife has helped him a lot with his mental health problems.
I am always surprised to hear how unsure of himself he is.

He certainly has that je ne sais quoi. I'll see if I can find a picture, or better still a clip, of his One Show appearance.

I saw him on The One Show.

I always thought he was a bit of a loose cannon - probably down to the substances he used to take. I preferred boring Gary

He seems much more settled now with his wife and children - which is good.

The new film - Better Man - looks interesting with Robbie being played by a monkey (CGI presumably!) rather than an almost looky likey

Take That kind of passed me by until they had a second stab at the limelight, but without Robbie. I think RW is a very good showman particularly when he does the big band, Mack the Knife stuff. I remember seeing him doing The Diamond Jubilee Concert on tv and thought his voice made some of the old timers sound quite reedy. I like the title of one of his albums "The Ego Has Landed" very clever, he's a bit of a showoff but that serves him well when performing in front of tens of thousands. I didn't see him on the One Show I don't watch that programme.

I saw him on the One Show and thought how well he looked, quite distinguished!

I alway have liked him. I like his new single very much too. Although pop music in the main isn’t my thing.

I always thought Robbie was "a lost boy" when he went through his addictions phase and am pleased that he seems to have a stable home life now with Ayda and the children.

His voice on his CD singing Swing numbers is faultless. I fooled a friend who's a great Sinatra fan. She couldn't tell the difference.

He's a great entertainer (cue for his song smile ) I'm not a fan of The One Show but watched it specifically to see Robbie.

I love him!

I imagine he's a handsome "silver fox" now, but I have never been a big fan.

He did look good.
Not sure about the film. I’m not a fan of animals being dressed to look like humans, it really bothers me.
I once had to change tables in a restaurant because they had several pictures on the wall of dogs made to look like various characters
I suppose there must be a reason the film maker chose to do it that way.

I've never liked him, nor his music, but caught a quick look at The One Show, and he did look good - much better than Donny Osmond (also on the show) whose face looks very odd.

We did see that episode - I thought Robbie looked like one of the Thunderbird brothers (maybe Brains.?) with those glasses on!
Always been a fan of his since seeing an interview with Michael Parkinson many years ago. Parky was very gentle with him as he was clearly a troubled soul at the time. I’m so glad he has found calmer waters.
