Norfolk’s Adam Tucker in Robbie Williams biopic Better Man

Better Man is directed by Michael Gracey, who was also behind The Greatest Showman.

Adam Tucker, 30, from King’s Lynn, provides the vocals on many of Williams’ chart-topping songs in the film.

This includes She’s The One, Angels and Let Me Entertain You, with new recordings required to match the emotion and pacing of the biopic.

Mr Tucker’s friend knew the vocal contractor working on Better Man and recommended him as he “sounds a bit like a young Robbie Williams”.

Mr Tucker said: “You spend so long grinding away trying to get the next gig, so getting the part was one of those pinch-me moments.

“I went to the London premiere and hearing my voice play out across the cinema was amazing.”

Mr Tucker, who studied music in Leeds, also fronts King’s Lynn band The Summertime Kings.

With vocal group the Leeds Contemporary Singers, he won the BBC One talent contest Pitch Battle in 2017.

Better Man chronicles Williams’ extraordinary life and career, including his rise to fame with Take That and his explosive solo career.

It also delves into his personal battles and he is portrayed as a chimpanzee using CGI.

Explaining the reason for this in the trailer, he said he feels “a little less evolved” than other people.

Despite singing many of Williams’ songs in Better Man, Mr Tucker has not met him yet.

He said: “I was hoping to meet him at the premiere but he is a very busy man, hopefully we will in the future – he is very aware of who I am.”

Going forward, Mr Tucker is planning to use the film as a springboard to release original music.

He added: “Creating my own music has always been my true passion and I can’t wait to share these songs with the world.”

Better Man will be released in UK cinemas on Boxing Day.
