Filming for Robbie Williams’ highly-anticipated biopic is currently underway, and it looks like we can expect an elaborate musical number.
The Candy hitmaker, 49, will be the subject of Better Man – the ‘fantasy’ movie about his life which is being directed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey.
Robbie is set to steal the spotlight as himself in the feature-length, but actor Jonno Davies is taking the lead as the younger version of the entertainer.
Jonno, 30, was pictured in a brown CGI suit while cutting shapes next to his shiny bandmates in blue.
In other snaps, the chart-topping band were dancing in the street in and running through the capital

He is joined by a Howard Donald, played by Liam Head, Jesse Hyde as Mark Owen and Chase Vollenweider as Jason Orange.

During the annual music event, they took to the stage to perform in matching blue suits, identical to the ones worn in the film.
Described as a ‘musical fantasy’ movie, it is set to tackle Robbie’s demons on and off stage over the years.
As well as his upcoming biopic, the Let Me Entertain You star is also fronting a separate documentary following the ups and downs of his career.
He said of the projects: ‘I’m both excited and nervous. I’m not nervous that it isn’t any good because what I’ve seen has blown me away.

‘The thing that I’m nervous about is being in the crosshairs again because the film’s coming out and the Netflix thing’s coming out and I haven’t been truly economically viable to the lesser energies associated with the media for a long time, which has made my life enjoyable and made all of this possible.
‘I need these couple of things for the wind behind my sails for the third part of my life, they’re vital,’ he continued.
‘But if they are a success then for however long a time I become in the crosshairs again and it’s a very vulnerable time to be in the media right now.’
