Robbie Williams, one of the UK's most beloved entertainers, is known for his high energy performances and playful sense of humor. So it's no surprise that his latest quip has caused a stir among his fans. The 50-year-old musician recently headlined a New Year's Eve party in Sydney and performed at a concert in Melbourne, all while promoting his new film Better Man, which was shot in the city.
But it was during his Melbourne concert that Robbie made a cheeky comment that had the crowd laughing. In between his iconic hits like "Angels" and "Let Me Entertain You," he couldn't help but point out the large number of menopausal women in the audience. "What's making me laugh about this whole thing is the police horses here because of the menopausal audience that I attract," he joked. "They're violent f**kers," he added, referring to the enthusiastic fans in the crowd.
It's no secret that Robbie has a legion of loyal fans, many of whom are women around his own age. And while menopause typically occurs at the age of 50, it's not uncommon for women to experience symptoms as early as their late 30s. However, Robbie's comment about menopause causing violent tendencies is both generalized and outdated. While it can cause mood swings and irritability, these symptoms can be managed with hormone replacement therapy or other holistic methods.
Interestingly, menopause seems to be a hot topic for the 16-time Brit Award winner. In a recent interview, he revealed that his social media algorithm thinks he is a "menopausal gay Republican" because he keeps getting ads for menopausal remedies and exercises. And last year, he even joked about experiencing "manopause" and the toll his partying days of the 1990s and noughties have taken on his body.
During his Melbourne performance, Robbie was also honored with an official key to the city by Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece. "There's no better man to have a key to our city than legendary British pop singer Robbie Williams," the mayor said. It's just one of the many accolades the musician has received over the years, but it's clear that Australia holds a special place in his heart.
Reflecting on his New Year's Eve performance in Sydney, Robbie shared, "I've always had a soft spot for Australia. Ever since I first arrived here on my solo tour in 2003, Australia accepts me for who I am and that's the best feeling." And with his new film Better Man now in theaters, he couldn't be happier to entertain his Aussie fans once again.
Speaking of Better Man, the film has already been dubbed "the film of the century" by Robbie himself. Directed by Australian filmmaker Michael Gracey and made with funding from the Victorian and federal government, it tells the story of Robbie's life in a unique and interesting way. In the movie, he is portrayed as a CGI monkey, played by Jonno Davies in a motion capture suit.
When asked about the decision to use a monkey to represent himself, Robbie explained, "I'm on the spectrum, so things that are unusual to me, aren't that unusual – I don't pick up on those sorts of cues. I don't know where I am on the spectrum, by the way, I just know I am." It's clear that Robbie is proud of the film and excited to share it with his fans.
Despite some mixed reviews of his New Year's Eve performance, Robbie's fans can't get enough of him. And it's no surprise that his concerts in Sydney and Melbourne were packed with fans eager to see him perform. Whether he's making cheeky jokes or belting out his famous hits, Robbie Williams continues to be one of the most beloved entertainers in the UK and beyond.
