Singer Robbie Williams, who now has his biopic, Better Man, played a part in convincing Hugh Jackman to do The Greatest Showman.

Michael Gracey reveals the unlikely origin story for ‘Better Man,’ which opens the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 2.

In Better Man, a musical biopic directed by Michael Gracey, Robbie Williams is embodied by a digital monkey. In the film, the British pop icon exposes the consequences of premature fame and his complex relationship with his father.
