In 2022, Davies is rehearsing for a scene on stage at the Royal Albert Hall when Williams, who he has not met yet, is in the audience.
“I was about to sing and in he steps, plonks himself in the middle of the front row,” the actor says.
“Wow that’s Robbie Williams, that’s who I’m playing, don’t mess it up. I probably did because voice was going and knees were buckling.”
He didn’t mess it up. Not according to Williams himself who describes the performer as a “fantastic human being”.
The musician says: “He’s such a lovely person, and he’s immensely talented. Watching him do his thing – which is my thing – was very interesting, confusing, wonderful, and a weird thing to watch. He’s amazing.”
