For more intriguing facts about Williams — including his thoughts on why Better Man, a musical fantasy based on his life and career currently in theaters, is the film he would choose to watch for eternity — keep reading:

1. I’ve given away all of my awards for a couple of reasons: I don’t want to be constantly reminded of my past successes, and I tend to view awards and ceremonies with skepticism. You don’t get to meet the people who nominate you to gauge if you want their validation. I’m grateful to be invited, yet I’m sensitive enough that if I’m not acknowledged, it feels like I don’t exist. It’s a complex situation within the industry.

2. My dream collaboration would be with Dolly Parton.

3. The song I’m most proud of is “Angels” as it shaped my career. It holds immense significance for many people and acts like the national anthem of Robbie. Despite having written nearly a thousand songs, I haven’t matched its impact.

4. My favorite tattoo represents a teddy bear for my eldest daughter, Teddy.

5. I don’t drive; I never learned and don’t have a license.

6. Ryan Reynolds is the most famous contact in my phone.

7. My computer is my most treasured item.

8. I always feel starstruck around comedians — including Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and Chris Rock — as well as Brad Pitt. Movie stars possess an unusual, captivating, and magical aura, but oddly enough, it doesn’t mean much. It’s puzzling, and it’s not their fault.

9. I consider myself an engaging storyteller.

10. If I had to watch one movie for the rest of my life, it would be Better Man, honestly. That’s not just a promotional line.

12. I would have pursued a career as an artist, and I have participated in a few exhibitions.

13. The proudest point in my career is still being relevant and present.

14. I spend all my time listening to and watching podcasts. Right now, I’m delving back into UFOs and the paranormal; that’s where I find my entertainment, including investigating the drones in New Jersey.

15. My idols growing up included Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and Chuck D.

16. I adore the Housewives franchise. Currently, I find The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills particularly entertaining; Kathy Hilton could use more airtime.

17. I collect ideas that pop into my mind and aim to illustrate them humorously.

18. The most thrilling moment during my time in Take That was reaching No. 39 on the charts with “Promises.” That brief moment of happiness was unparalleled.

19. Before joining Take That, I sold double glazing — which means windows in the U.K. — door-to-door for two weeks.

20. A cherished childhood memory is the applause I received for playing the Artful Dodger at age 12. The standing ovation kindled my belief that I had a future in performance.

21. My bucket list includes building hotels, creating entertainment venues, founding a university for entertainment, and designing the syllabus.
