There's a movie about Robbie Williams coming out soon where he is portrayed by a man playing a monkey (yes, you did read that right). It seems like a fever dream and like it's not real until you look it up and learn it is very real. Kudos for trying something new and creative even if I will likely never see it because movies like it don't come to theaters near me and I almost always forget to stream movies once available.
The point is that now there is a debate about how Americans don't know who he is because I guess he never made it big in America. I do vaguely know who he is, mainly because he performed with Taylor Swift once and I've watched interviews of One Direction where they've talked about Take That and Robbie Williams. I'm not well-versed in his music or anything, I will admit.
I did just see an English person make the American comparison of Garth Brooks because somehow Americans are supposed to expect people to know who Garth Brooks is? I find this funny because: 1. I have to admit I am jealous of people who don't know who Garth Brooks is (he is beloved in certain country music circles but I have never liked the man besides a few of his songs), and 2. I am almost positive more people listen to Robbie Williams than Garth Brooks (pretty sure Brooks' music is only available on Amazon music to buy). One of my high-school best friends' moms loves Garth Brooks and has drug him to several concerts which I used to get an earful of complaints because he knew I liked country music so he was determined to tell me how much country sucked despite me not liking Garth Brooks.
Anyway, this basically was me wanting to dump on Garth Brooks for a second because I just thought it was funny that someone said Americans expected other countries to know Garth Brooks in comparison to Robbie Williams. I don't even really know who the American equivalent of Robbie Williams would be, but I highly doubt it's Garth Brooks.
