Robbie Williams admitted 'Pandora's box has been opened' as he prepared to look back on his life in a new Netflix documentary trailer.
The self-titled series, made up of four episodes, features 30 years of archive footage from the musician's extraordinary career. The Stoke-on-Trent lad joined Take That as their youngest member at just 16 years old, before going solo and becoming the most successful UK recording artist of all time.
In the new Netflix trailer he asks 'who knows what's to come?' as he revisits his past and takes stock of his present. Across their social media channels on Wednesday evening, Netflix dropped the new two-and-a-half minute clip, writing: "Raw. Honest. Real. Get ready to see Robbie's life through a whole new lens. ROBBIE WILLIAMS - coming to Netflix globally - 8th November."

The trailer begins with the Rock DJ hitmaker as he reflects: "It's astounding what's happened in my life. But the past has me in a headlock", as archive footage shows a fresh-faced Robbie chilling at a hotel abroad. He then heads to a packed-out arena filled with screaming fans.
Sound tracked by his 1997 hit Let Me Entertain You, the clip showcases Robbie's successes: award show wins, chat show appearances and hoards of screaming fans following his every move. But being at the centre of pop culture isn't easy, as the 49-year-old admits: "I felt like I was giving more and more of myself away... to the point where you're not somebody you recognise." He adds: "Being in the spotlight, you can't trust anybody" as he described having a 'nervous mental breakdown' in front of thousands of people.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Just over a month after The New Yorker published a story in which it was revealed that Hasan Minhaj embellished some of his stand-up routines, the comedian has responded in a 20-minute video in which he calls the The New Yorker’s exposé “needlessly misleading.” “With everything that’s happening in the world, I’m aware even talking about this now feels so trivial,” Minhaj says in the video. “But being accused of ‘faking racism’ is not trivial.
