Robbie Williams’s hero is his Dad.
The 40 year old former Take that star was catapulted to the spotlight in 90s with the boy band, alongside bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen, insists his singer father Peter Williams is a talented artist, but never got the same lucky break he did when he was younger.
Speaking on Australia's 'Today' show, he said: "My dad is incredibly charismatic and charming and a very good singer, he just didn't get the lucky break I got. When I was growing up he was my hero in many ways and the inspiration for the act that I do."
He also gushed about being a father to 17-month-old daughter Theodora 'Teddy' Rose, and insists she is everything he needs.
He said:"I have all the love in the world now when I look at her [Teddy]."
And the hitmaker admitted his actress wife Ayda Field has changed his life.
He said: "Life became gentler, easier and more beautiful after meeting her." They married in August 2010 after being together for 4 years.
