Better Man: KHOO’s Talent On-Set for the Groundbreaking Robbie Williams Biopic

Better Man is based on the wild, true, and uniquely brilliant life of one of pop’s most iconic stars, Robbie Williams. Directed by the visionary Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman, Pink: All I Know So Far), this musical journey takes us through Williams’ rise from his boy band days with Take That to his record-shattering solo career. The film dives deep into the highs, the lows, and the incredible moments that have defined his legacy.

But here’s the twist you didn’t see coming: Robbie Williams is portrayed by a CGI monkey, in a Planet of the Apes-style performance, with the man himself lending his voice. Yes, you read that right—a monkey playing one of the biggest pop stars of all time!

The film has already garnered rave reviews from Telluride and TIFF, and it's been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects—an honor that speaks volumes about the groundbreaking work behind the scenes.At KHOO, we are beyond excited to hear one of our talented team members, Jasmine Naylor, reflect on her unforgettable experience working on Better Man. Jasmine shares how this opportunity expanded her skill set and ignited her passion for future career opportunities. She credits KHOO for giving her the chance to step onto a film set for the very first time, where she immersed herself in a bold, innovative creative process.

Candice Vitug also had the privilege of working on set during a musical number, sparking a newfound love for the craft. She, too, is excited to see where this journey will take her. Candice, like Jasmine, is grateful to KHOO for providing her with her first experience on set, surrounded by an incredible team that continues to inspire her next steps.

In addition to Jasmine and Candice, we had many talented extras on set who helped bring this extraordinary film to life. Better Man is now playing in cinemas!
