Images du biopic de Robbie Williams "Better Man"
Pictures must credit: Paramount Pictures Here’s a first look at a biographical film about pop star Robbie Williams — in which he is portrayed as a chimpanzee. The film, called Better Man, is said to be based on the 50-year-olds rise, “dramatic fall” and resurgence as a superstar. A new trailer for the movie shows Williams growing and on stage in front of tens of thousands of people — but looking like an ape. The Greatest Showman movie director Michael Gracey Talking in a feature about the film with Williams, he is asked by Robbie “what gives” with the animal portrayal. Gracey says:“I asked you if you were an animal how would you see yourself. “In your own words you would refer to being dragged up on stage to perform like a monkey. “I immediately thought of portraying you not as we see you but how you see yourself. “It immediately clicked in a way that I was like, ‘with your voice and that monkey, I am gonna see you and relate to you in a way that is more engaging than yet another musical biography.” Picture supplied by JLPPA

Baby chimp and little boy become friends at Myrtle Beach Safari park, South Carolina, America - 2013

A Tree-Mendous Friendship
Could this be the start of a tree-mendous friendship?
16-month-old Chimp Vali and 20-month-old human William are seen making one another's acquaintance.
And it would appear that all you need to become firm friends with a chimp is to offer them a banana.
The adorable primate and cute tot got to know one another at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina, America.
When little Vali grows up he will become a chimp ambassador for the park - helping to raise funds for The Rare Species Fund.
This international conservation group has helped raise more than a million dollars for conservation programmes.
And while William may find it difficult to imagine why anyone would want to hurt his new pal, it is a sad fact that chimps are an endangered species.
They have already disappeared from four African countries, and are nearing extinction in many others.
This is why the work by Vali and Myrtle Beach's other animal ambassadors to raise to raise awareness - particularly with the younger generation - is so important.
But for now the little chimp is simply enjoying having fun - with both his animal and human friends.
After meeting William for the first time the pair examined one another curiously before settling down side by side to enjoy a fruity snack.
And, proving that monkeying around crosses all species, they even posed perched in the branches of a tree.

When little Vali grows up he will become a chimp ambassador for the park - helping to raise funds for The Rare Species Fund.
This international conservation group has helped raise more than a million dollars for conservation programmes.
And while William may find it difficult to imagine why anyone would want to hurt his new pal, it is a sad fact that chimps are an endangered species.
They have already disappeared from four African countries, and are nearing extinction in many others.
This is why the work by Vali and Myrtle Beach's other animal ambassadors to raise to raise awareness - particularly with the younger generation - is so important.
But for now the little chimp is simply enjoying having fun - with both his animal and human friends.
After meeting William for the first time the pair examined one another curiously before settling down side by side to enjoy a fruity snack.
And, proving that monkeying around crosses all species, they even posed perched in the branches of a tree.

A Tree-Mendous Friendship
Could this be the start of a tree-mendous friendship?
16-month-old Chimp Vali and 20-month-old human William are seen making one another's acquaintance.
And it would appear that all you need to become firm friends with a chimp is to offer them a banana.
The adorable primate and cute tot got to know one another at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina, America.

Meet the adorable duo who prove that you don't have to be the same species to be best buds.
5-month-old grizzly bear Bam Bam and 16-month-old chimp Vali love nothing better than a bit of rough and tumble together.
The cute pair live at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina, where they and their parents were born, and have recently found a tireless playmate in one another.
Park owner Bhagavan Antle comments: "Bears grow incredibly quick and chimps incredibly slow.
"Recently Bam Bam got to be about the same size as Vali and we could see that they were just about paired up".
And when the pair were introduced they hit it off immediately.
Bhagavan adds: "We got them out there playing on a sunny day and they went on and on for hours. Neither of them wanted to quit.
"They would both lie down and fall asleep at our feet, wake back up and start wrestling again".
Now the good friends spend part of each day together in what often becomes a meeting of brains vs brawn.
Bhagavan says: "Bam Bam ultimately has more power, but Vali tricks him and can constantly get behind him. He will throw things at Bam Bam and run around him in circles".
When they aren't together Vali spends his time playing with his primate relatives, including his mum who is a chimp ambassador for the park - helping to raise funds for The Rare Species Fund.
This international conservation group has helped raise more than a million dollars for conservation programmes.
And while energetic Vali keeps active by helping out his mum, Bam Bam prefers a slower pace of life when he isn't busy playing.
Bhagavan says: "Bam Bam is an eating machine. He eats an enormous amount of food and likes nothing better than to sit around and enjoy a bottle or a bowl of sweet potatoes and chicken mash".
In time Bam Bam, who...

"Recently Bam Bam got to be about the same size as Vali and we could see that they were just about paired up".
And when the pair were introduced they hit it off immediately.
Bhagavan adds: "We got them out there playing on a sunny day and they went on and on for hours. Neither of them wanted to quit.
"They would both lie down and fall asleep at our feet, wake back up and start wrestling again".
Now the good friends spend part of each day together in what often becomes a meeting of brains vs brawn.
Bhagavan says: "Bam Bam ultimately has more power, but Vali tricks him and can constantly get behind him. He will throw things at Bam Bam and run around him in circles".
When they aren't together Vali spends his time playing with his primate relatives, including his mum who is a chimp ambassador for the park - helping to raise funds for The Rare Species Fund.
This international conservation group has helped raise more than a million dollars for conservation programmes.
And while energetic Vali keeps active by helping out his mum, Bam Bam prefers a slower pace of life when he isn't busy playing.
Bhagavan says: "Bam Bam is an eating machine. He eats an enormous amount of food and likes nothing better than to sit around and enjoy a bottle or a bowl of sweet potatoes and chicken mash".
In time Bam Bam, who...

Friends Fur Life
Meet the adorable duo who prove that you don't have to be the same species to be best buds.
5-month-old grizzly bear Bam Bam and 16-month-old chimp Vali love nothing better than a bit of rough and tumble together.
The cute pair live at the Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina, where they and their parents were born, and have recently found a tireless playmate in one another.
Park owner Bhagavan Antle comments: "Bears grow incredibly quick and chimps incredibly slow.

Chimp undergoes dental work on her teeth at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital, Pretoria, South Africa - 25 May 2012

Chimp's Sweet Tooth Lands Her In Dentist's Chair
Open wide and say ooh ooh ahh ahh.
No one likes to go to the dentists - be they man or monkey - but recently Fiona the chimp had no choice.
The 4-year-old needed work done to her front two teeth because one had a cavity and the other was growing abnormally.
Fiona, who belongs to Mystic Monkeys and Feathers Animal Park near Pretoria in South Africa, braved the dentist's drill at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital.
While she was tranquilised, vet Dr. Gerhard Steenkamp swiftly put a filling in the one tooth and extracted the other.
He comments: "It's like treating a child's teeth, because she is so tame.
"We will always try to save the teeth, but we had no choice but to pull this one."
According to owner Christa Saayman, she realised that Fiona had a tooth ache when she gave her an ice cold fruit lolly to eat.
However, now that she has had the work done it won't be long before Fiona can once again enjoy the ice creams she loves so much.
And, to avoid further visits to the dentist, she will now have to get used to having her teeth brushed each day.
