On January 12, in New York, Robbie Williams surprisingly assumed the role of a wedding officiant during a showing of his movie “Better Man.

At this gathering, there was a question-and-answer segment during which the beloved British pop star engaged with his admirers, revealing touching experiences such as spending time with his own daughter. The climax occurred when an attendee named Haldun proposed that Williams perform the wedding ceremony for him.

For five years, Haldun, who bears the same name as Williams’ Turkish father-in-law, and his partner have been in a relationship. During the ceremony, with a jumbo-sized slushie in hand, Williams humorously took on the role of officiant.

He declared, “Though there’s no legal authority behind this, I believe it holds a strong emotional significance for both of us, similar to a legally binding agreement.” With the crowd’s applause, the couple expressed their commitment by saying “I do”.

Since the year 2002, Robbie Williams has held the title of a minister. This role allowed him to perform the marriage ceremony for his guitarist friend Billy Morrison and his partner Jennifer Holliday, which he did online.

As I reminisce on that special day, let me tell you, having my good friend Robbie officiate our union was more than just an honor—it was priceless. The sentiment behind it is immeasurable and deeply personal.

The popular musician has been keeping quite active, pushing for the release of Better Man, a production featuring him in a computer-generated chimp role. Not only does he lend his voice, but he also delivers the storyline in this movie.

The initial composition “Forbidden Road” gained a Golden Globe nomination but was ruled ineligible for Oscar consideration because of likenesses to Jim Croce’s 1972 song “I Got a Name”. Williams accepted this decision graciously, stating, “Rules are rules… it’s all fine.
