The singer Robbie Williams has spent more of his life as a public figure than as an anonymous person, and can speak knowingly about the darker side of fame. In his case, this included having faced a dangerous offer that someone put on the “market” in search of a hitman to end his life. “I had never said it in public, but there was a contract to kill me,” he revealed on the podcast “This Past Weekend”.
This information did not come to light at the time due in large part to the fact that he did not want to turn to the authorities for help. and protection. Instead, he decided to deal with the threat in a different way, about which he did not want to give too many details other than to clarify that he managed to end it forever. ” It’s over. I have friends”, was all Robbie said about it.
For the same reason, Williams is very happy to that his career has never taken off in the United States, where he does not enjoy the same level of popularity as in the United Kingdom, and at the time he even rejected several job offers that would have boosted his media profile to protect the tranquility he enjoys when he is there.
“I want to go to all the normal places to the ones I can’t go to because people want to kill me. It takes a while to accept that reality. I have anxiety and I don’t like meeting strangers, but they do want to meet me, and I feel very uncomfortable in that situation. Thinking about it makes me anxious. It’s a trigger. Also, you have to be the nicest person they’ve ever met, or else they’ll say, ‘He’s one of those famous assholes.’ In fact, I hate having pictures taken of me,” she lamented.
