As I delve into the lives of these iconic figures, it is truly awe-inspiring to witness their journeys and resilience. Robbie Williams, a former member of Take That, opens up about his struggles within the band, painting a picture of a young man grappling with the pressures of fame and the lack of freedom that came with it. His account is poignant and heart-wrenching, making one wonder what could have been if he had been allowed to live a more normal life.


At a recent Deadline Contenders Film event in Los Angeles, held over the weekend, Robbie Williams and Pamela Anderson both wore all-white ensembles, striking a pose together.

At the glamorous gathering, the 50-year-old performer was smartly dressed in a stylish white and gray pinstripe suit, complete with a vest beneath it.

He adorned himself with a silver chain and cross pendant necklace while striking poses for photos alongside the 57-year-old ex-Baywatch actress.

Pamela appeared ethereal, matching elegantly with Robbie in a long, pristine white blouse and a flowing pleated skirt, accentuated by sleek nude pumps with pointed toes.

In a natural and easy-to-read way, the sentence could be rephrased as follows: The actress, who is a mother of two and will appear in Gia Coppola’s upcoming drama titled “The Last Showgirl,” chose to go without makeup, revealing her freckled complexion.

Her signature blonde hair was parted down the middle as it fell freely down her back.

Robbie also spoke on a panel at the event as he discussed his upcoming biopic, Better Man. 

The “Deadline” occasion initiates the film award season by hosting engaging discussions about this year’s most popular movies, providing awards voters with an exclusive opportunity to delve deeply into the stories of highly-acclaimed films.

Immediately following Robbie’s confession that he never truly believed his position in Take That was secure, as he nearly got expelled from the band at age sixteen.

Among the band members who came together in 1990, including Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, and Howard Donald, it was this singer who was the youngest until his departure to pursue a solo career in 1995.

In simpler terms, Robbie remembered the difficulty he experienced learning complex dance routines. He also sensed that their supervisor, Nigel Martin-Smith, didn’t have a warm feeling towards him, which eventually drove him to find solace in substance abuse with drugs and alcohol.

In reference to the forthcoming BBC documentary titled “Boybands Forever,” he stated that Martin hinted at his potential removal from the group.

Robbie began: ‘The early days of Take That were spent in rehearsals.’

He added: “I didn’t have any prior experience in dancing, and the moves were incredibly complex, making it hard for me to follow the steps, giving an impression of laziness.

This point wasn’t raised positively. To put it mildly, Nigel seemed displeased with my proposal.

“I recall saying that it wouldn’t be hard to replace you in the band with a man from Stoke-On-Trent who has dark hair, whom we could call Robbie.

It left me with a sense that my spot in the band was always uncertain and unguaranteed. I wasn’t cherished or even well-regarded, and I was just 16 years old.

In response to the statements made, Nigel commented: “I believe we all care for each other deeply, and that’s still true today. He certainly has a sharp mind, doesn’t he? It was my mistake since some of our conversation revolved around storytelling. Robbie excels at it.

It’s extremely rare for someone who achieves such a high degree of fame to emerge unscathed, mentally speaking.

If you combine that with a manager who wasn’t skilled in people management, be it for handling employees effectively or managing emotions, it creates a potentially harmful work environment.

My way of finding safety came in the form of substances and alcohol. I’s become feral lots of coke lots of darkness. Lots of comedowns that were hellish. Complete active addiction.’

Nigel reminisced: ‘He was drinking heavily, socializing, and I believe he might’ve been using some type of drugs, perhaps Ecstasy or similar substances, which isn’t unusual among his peers during a night out. It wasn’t a major concern. I would have noticed if it had gotten serious.’

Robbie said Nigel should have ‘known more’ and done his part to ‘protect him.’

“Robbie is intelligent, and it’s quite witty of him to say, ‘I took drugs because I wasn’t allowed girlfriends in my band, or something like that, that jerk Nigel,’ as his manager retorted.

Robbie went on to say, “Either I’m exceptionally smart or I might have just encountered something that could potentially harm me.

This weekend, Boybands Through Time delves into the professional journeys of ’90s and ’00s groups like Take That, Westlife, and Blue, offering an intriguing glimpse into their career histories.

In her forthcoming production titled The Last Showgirl, Pamela takes on the role of an aging showgirl who is compelled to reconsider her future after her long-running show unexpectedly ends following three decades.

I’m thrilled to share that the film I’ve been eagerly anticipating is set to hit theaters on January 10, 2025. This week, a sneak peek of the trailer left me spellbound and has ignited discussions about potential Oscar nominations among fans like myself.

It also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, among others.

Pamela has sparked speculation that she will nag a Best Actress Academy Award nod for the role.

Meanwhile, Curtis’ performance was praised as a ‘force of nature’ by Variety critic Peter Debruge.

According to Pete Hammond of Deadline, Anderson delivers an exceptional performance in this role that aligns with her genuine optimism and allows her to show raw, heart-wrenching emotions that may leave you emotional.

The review continued, ‘I have always thought she was an underrated comedic actress, based especially on her short-lived 2005 sitcom Stacked, but the dramatic chops have not been there before, certainly not on this scale. And she is all-in here.’

Pamela last acted in the 2017 film adaptation of Baywatch, reprising her iconic role as CJ Parker.

In January 2023, she appeared in the Netflix documentary titled “Pamela, A Love Story” and published her memoir entitled “Love, Pamela” during the same month.
