Robbie Williams thanks his ‘below average penis’ during perfectly blunt awards speech-Alistair McGeorge-Entertainment – Metro

Robbie Williams left fans in fits of laugher with his hilariously blunt acceptance speech at an awards show.

The Let Me Entertain You hitmaker spoke on stage after new biopic Better Man, which sees the 50-year-old musician depicted as a monkey, won best film at the AACTA Awards in Australia.

‘I would like to thank drugs, ADHD, depression, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, insomnia, dyspraxia, a lack of self-awareness, a lack of self-worth, a fear of social interaction, body dysmorphia, addiction, alcoholism,’ he deadpanned on stage.

Finishing his thank yous, he quipped: ‘And a lower than average sized penis.’

Referencing the full list, he joked ‘without which none of this film would be possible’.

The cheeky star ended his speech in a similarly lighthearted way, as he encouraged the locals to indulged him in a rendition of their most famous chant.

‘Listen, you’ve all sat for long enough, way too long, but for me, just one time, let’s take this home,’ he said. ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!’

‘Oi, oi, oi,’ they roared back, as Robbie beamed and thanked them for their support.

The Michael Gracey movie, which follows Robbie’s life before fame, as part of Take That, and as a solo singer, has been celebrated by critics as a subversion of the jukebox musical biopic.

Despite being popular with critics and audiences in the UK, reaching number five at the box office, international cinemagoers haven’t been convinced.

Elsewhere, the film has been considered a box office bomb, grossing $1.1million (£908k) in the US.

However, Robbie isn’t disheartened, and even has ambitions for a sequel with so much of his story left untold due to time restrictions.

Speaking to Australian DJ Sean Brown, Robbie said: ‘There is so much that didn’t make the movie.

‘Only because we couldn’t fit it in – not because I was too embarrassed or ashamed to put it in… many stories. It would have had to be a five-hour film to fit everything in.’

‘And hopefully it does good and there is a ‘Better Man 2,’ he added optimistically.
