Uptown Funk!

Robbie Williams thinks he’s exhibited a lot of “Patience” around rumors of his sexuality — but in a new interview with The Guardian, the Take That singer is setting the record straight.

Speaking to the outlet about his forthcoming biopic Better Man — in which he is portrayed by a CGI chimpanzee — the singer looked back on his 2005 lawsuit against a tabloid claiming that he was gay, saying that he mostly felt “sad” about the allegations simply because they weren’t true, not due to any internal fear of being perceived as gay.
