Chronology
A unique profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams.. Securing a license to film a lavish dance sequence on Regent Street in London took a year and a half to be owned by the British royal family. Two nights before the scheduled shooting, after spending the whole week in rehearsals, Queen Elizabeth II passed away, so the shooting had to be postponed. Everyone had to be paid anyway, including the shop owners and the crew, and production insurance did not cover losses due to the monarch’s death. The producers had to raise additional funds to film the sequence, which was shot five months later. The title character, Robbie Williams, is portrayed as a chimpanzee. Robbie Williams is not actually a chimp.
