No Rock And Roll Fun

A ROLE TURNED DOWN: Someone was supposedly prepared to offer Robbie Williams a million bucks for a stage role in the US. We find that a bit hard to believe, anyway: since nobody in the US either cares about Williams, it's unlikely anyone would consider him worth such levels of investment. Anyway, Williams has turned down the part, in the Boy From Oz, because the character is gay.

We can understand that - can you imagine poor Robbie having a job where his success hung on convincing the public that his sexuality was totally different from what it really is? That'd be hard to pull off.
