"Full of sex and drugs": Robbie Williams chats about his Netflix documentary

I want to "expose myself more than anyone else exposes themselves" - these are Robbie Williams' plans for his upcoming documentary series. New interviews and intimate archive recordings are to be shown on Netflix, there are "no rules". The singer only wants to remain silent about part of his private life.

British pop icon Robbie Williams is planning the big soul striptease with his upcoming documentary series. Speaking on the New Zealand radio show Mike Hosking Breakfast, Williams said of the Netflix production, which is slated for release in 2023, "It's going to be full of sex and drugs and mental illness." The 48-year-old singer ("Angels") wants to present himself "without make-up" on the streaming service and suspects that "too much information about his life will probably be revealed". "No rules" would apply to the as yet untitled project, Williams said.

According to Netflix, the documentary series will consist of new interviews and intimate, never-before-seen archive footage. Williams says he wants to "expose more than anyone else does." According to the musician, "most people want to show some version of themselves devoid of negative aspects" because they are afraid of "exposing too much of their real life". But the audience would recognize that, and that's why he won't do exactly that.

"In my case, I'm more likely than other people to keep it all in. Very rarely, if ever, have I said, 'This is too much, take it out.' I usually think it's not enough," Williams said of his upcoming Netflix project, which he says he has full editorial control over.

Only his four children Theodora, Charlton, Colette and Beau, who he has with his wife Ayda Field, should not appear in the documentary series. On her Instagram account, Field always lets her fans participate in her and Williams' family life. However, she never shows the faces of her children.
