00:00It was the 10-year-old boy at his grandma's house in Istanbul, Turkey, begging the TV

00:10for Robby's music videos to come on so that I can be enriched by the power of his art.

00:16And it's really through his music that I got to learn English.

00:19So for me, despite how the movie does, the fact that this human being has done so much

00:25to me in my lifetime, and then in such a beautiful full-circle moment, take the baton to officiate

00:33me and my fiancée on the spot.

00:35It was just something so, so sweet, and for me, he's always a legend, despite how the

00:42movie does.

00:43I mean, at the end of the day, this is not your usual biopic.

00:47The fact that he decided on a frickin' CGI chimpanzee to play him, it's such a new thing.

00:55And I think that this flurry of press that the movie is getting right now is actually

01:03a very good thing, despite the fact that, okay, maybe it's not doing as well in the

01:07U.S. market.

01:09Now people are familiar with him.

01:10They're going, what?

01:11Oh, Robby Williams?

01:12Yeah, I think I've heard of him.

01:14He's the guy who was portrayed as the monkey in the film, right?

01:18So again, like I mentioned, should Robby do any other kind of promotional tour here in

01:23the U.S., or once the movie appears on streaming platforms, then people will be more familiar

01:28with him and give him a chance.

01:30And I think that's going to be, I think this is going to be a cult film, essentially.

01:34It's going to garner some attention down the road.
