Chronology
A singular profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams.. Securing permission to shoot the lavish dance sequence on Regent Street in London took a year and a half as the British royal family owns it. Two nights before filming was scheduled, after spending an entire week in rehearsal, Queen Elizabeth II passed away and the shoot had to be postponed. Everyone had to be paid anyway, including shop owners and crew, and production insurance didn’t cover the losses due to death of a monarch. Producers had to raise additional funds to shoot the sequence, which was filmed five months later.. The title character, Robbie Williams, is depicted as a chimpanzee. Robbie Williams is not, in fact, a chimpanzee.
