"This is my story. But I'm not going to tell it in an ordinary way, because I don't see myself how others see me," Williams says in the trailer, explaining the decision to visualize him as a chimpanzee.

"To be honest, I've always been a little less evolved," Williams jokes.

The trailer covers his life story, showing his upbringing and his struggle with his image as he rises to fame.

Williams, a member of the British pop group Take That, found massive fame in the mid 1990s before splitting off for a solo career, reuniting with the group in 2010 and again briefly in 2020. Williams has since been vocal regarding his experience with mental health issues and addiction during his rise to fame." - ABC.com
