Robbie Williams Says Kathy Hilton Is His Favorite on RHOBH
Just like Us, British pop icon Robbie Williams can’t get enough of The Real Housewives.
“I always love the Housewives franchises,” Williams, 50, reveals exclusively in his 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “Right now, I am into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
While he quipped, “They all get fired,” when asked who his favorite Housewife of all time is, Williams did come up with an answer.
“Favorite Housewife of all time… Kathy Hilton doesn’t get enough airtime,” Williams dished to Us.
For more fun facts from Williams — including why Better Man, a musical fantasy film based on his life and career in theaters now, is the movie he would watch for the rest of his life — keep scrolling:
1. I’ve given all of my awards away for two reasons: I don’t want my success to be constantly reaffirmed every day as something that happened in the past, and I also retain great cynicism when it comes to awards and awards ceremonies. You don’t get to meet the people that nominate you and figure out whether you want them to tell you if you are good or not. Let me also say I’m very grateful to be invited to the party and I’m a very sensitive person that if you don’t tell me I exist, then I don’t exist. So it’s a very interesting conundrum in the industry that I find myself in.
2. My dream collaborator is Dolly Parton.
3. The song I’m most proud of is “Angels” because it gave me my career. It is the song that exists outside of myself that means so much to lots of people. It’s like the national anthem of Robbie. I’ve written nearly a thousand songs now, and I’ve not managed to recreate that.
4. My favorite tattoo that I have is a teddy bear for my eldest daughter, Teddy.
5. I don’t drive — I never learned — and I don’t have a license.
6. Ryan Reynolds is the most famous person in my phone book.
7. My computer is my most valuable possession.
8. I always get starstruck around comedians — like Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock — and also Brad Pitt. Movie stars [have] a quality that is unusual, beguiling and magical, but at the same time means nothing. It’s so strange. And it’s not their fault.
9. I’m a good raconteur.
10. If I could watch one movie for the rest of my life, it would be Better Man, genuinely. I’m not just saying that for promo.
11. Lynda Carter and Kylie Minogue were my celebrity crushes growing up.
12. My alternate profession would be an artist, and I’ve actually got a [few] exhibitions.
13. The proudest moment of my career is that I’m still here.
14. All I do is listen to and watch podcasts. Right now, I’m back on the UFO and paranormal trail, so that’s where I get all of my entertainment needs, [including] finding out what the drones are in New Jersey.
15. Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Chuck D were the entertainers I looked up to when I was younger.
16. I love the Housewives franchise. Right now, I’m into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Kathy Hilton doesn’t get enough airtime.
17. I collect ideas that form in my head, and then I try to draw them and make them funny.
18. The most exciting moment from my time in Take That was being No. 39 on the charts with “Promises.” It was the happiest I’ve been for the shortest amount of time.
19. I sold double glazing — which are windows in the U.K. — door-to-door for two weeks before I joined Take That.
20. The childhood memory that makes me smile is the round of applause that I got when I played the Artful Dodger when I was 12 years old. I got a standing ovation, and it made me believe that I had a future in showing off.
21. My bucket list includes building hotels, building entertainment venues and creating a university of entertainment and writing the syllabus.
22. My favorite comfort meal is sweet and sour chicken or pork Chinese [food].
23. I can’t leave the house without my phone, Mac [laptop] and sunglasses.
24. I’m an introvert and don’t do parties unless I’m paid to or I have to promote something.
25. My favorite place to vacation is Mustique.
