Robbie Williams left Julia Roberts speechless during a television appearance on Friday after revealing that the film 'Pretty Woman' inspired him to take a prostitute shopping. The 51-year-old singer admitted he watched the 1990 romantic comedy six times in a row and later fulfilled his fantasy.
Speaking on a show alongside Roberts, 57, Colin Farrell, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gloria Estefan, Williams said: 'Julia Roberts. Oh my god, I can’t. I’ve watched Pretty Woman six times in a row. And at the end of the six times, I was like “one day I will take a prostitute shopping”. And I did. I did. So, thank you.'
Roberts was left speechless, with host Graham cutting in: 'That’s a lovely story Robbie. That’s really lovely.' In the film, Roberts played sex worker Vivien Ward, opposite Richard Gere as businessman Edward Lewis.
Elsewhere, Williams revealed he postponed his album 'Britpop' after realising he would be competing with Taylor Swift. He told fans at a gig in London: 'You can't compete with that one, that's the truth.' Williams currently shares the record for 15 UK No.1 albums with The Beatles and is aiming for a 16th.
