Robbie Williams has confessed that watching his own Netflix documentary series was a “traumatic” and “deeply unpleasant” experience for him, and revealed his biggest regret about releasing it.
The star’s new four-part Netflix documentary series, Robbie Williams, is a tough watch for viewers as the star revisits the public highs and lows of his peak-fame years in the 90s and noughties, but it turns out it’s almost unwatchable for Williams himself.
The British pop star appeared on The Project on Tuesday night where he shared some brutally honest remarks about his thoughts on the docuseries.
“It was just an absolute traumatic watch,” confessed the singer.
“It was deeply unpleasant, to be honest. I think people don’t like looking at selfies of themselves and hearing their own voice and if you multiply that by watching yourself dissent into mental illness and agoraphobia and depression and anxiety and you are watching a nervous break down, people don’t – it is not a normal thing to do.”
Williams shot to fame as part of the globally famous boyband Take That.
He left the band after a battle with alcohol and drugs and amid an ongoing feud with fellow bandmate Gary Barlow.
He has had a successful solo career but he has long battled stints of anxiety and depression.
Williams went on to share his reasons for deciding to take part in the documentary, and admitted that at first his desire was born out of a “cynical need for attention”.
“I wasn’t cynical when I was talking about the trauma that I was going through but at first maybe it was a cynical need for attention that I need for my job.”
However, as following the warm reception from viewers, Williams’ opinion on the docuseries has transformed, and he shared how grateful he is to have felt “love” from around the world.
However, he did go on to share his regrets about including certain scenes and imagery.
“There are a number of images of me in there where I am not looking my best, let’s just say,” he continued. “I didn’t have a clue that I could take those out. If I would have known I would have done.”
