Robbie Williams thinks Tom Hanks and Noel Gallagher are the only people unaffected by fame. The 'Let Me Entertain You' hitmaker - who has been honest about his battles with addiction and the difficulties of life in the spotlight - suggested the Hollywood actor and Oasis legend appear to have come through relatively unscathed. Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, he said: "I play this game, that who has got through that [fame], come through the other side and gone, 'I enjoyed every bit about it, and I'm totally mentally really well and I'm happy to continue.
Let's do more of it. ' "Do you know, here's the thing. The first person that jumps to my head is Tom Hanks.
But, we don't know the real Tom Hanks. So we don't know what went on with his life. "The other one who I think… Noel Gallagher seems to have handled extreme fame really, really well.
They still achieved what they achieved, and he's still Noel Gallagher. " Of course, the challenges of fame are well known, and the former Take That singer himself thinks it can be particularly tough for members of boybands and girlbands. He explained: "If you run through every boyband and girlband that's ever existed.
With Take That, Gary Barlow leaves the band, his career's supposed to do that and it didn't. "He suffered with bulimia, didn't leave his house, went to sleep underneath his piano because he'd forgotten how to write songs. Incredibly depressed.
"Changed his name on his credit card because he didn't want people to see Barlow. "Howard Donald wanted to commit suicide after he left Take That. Mark Owen's been to rehab and Jason Orange just can't do it.

Over his long career, Tom Hanks has established a rock-solid screen persona as an affectionate, good-natured father figure. The culmination of this squeaky clean image was perhaps his Oscar-nominated performance as TV host and legendary mensch Fred Rogers in 2019’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” But more recent films like “News of the World,” “Finch,” and especially this year’s “Elvis” have seen Hanks embrace darker, more emotionally ambiguous characters. That trend continues with “A Man Called Otto,” an upcoming comedy-drama from director Marc Forster in which Hanks plays the lead, an aging curmudgeon contemplating suicide.
