Robbie Williams takes on surprise role as wedding officiant at New York City screening of Better Man

Jan 13, 2025

Robbie Williams is a man of many talents – he can sing, he can dance, and he can apparently officiate weddings!

Things took a romantic turn at a screening and Q&A of William’s new biopic in New York City.

One minute he was answering insightful questions about the film, and the next he was marrying two strangers with a slushie in hand.

“At today’s BETTER MAN Q&A in NYC, Robbie Williams was vulnerable, receptive to the audience’s energy, took time to have a heart to heart with his daughter,” wrote blogger Ezra Cubero on Twitter.

“And then a man in the audience asked him, as an ordained minister, to officiate a marriage with his fiancé. Incredible.”

A video of the sweet moment has been circulating online, with Williams being sure to clearly point out that the wedding will not be legally binding.

Watch the video above.

”By the power vested in me, by absolutely nobody,” Williams began.

“It’s not legally binding, but you know, it’s legally binding in your heart, your heart and my heart,” he added before continuing on to the ‘I do’s’.

But as it turns out, it’s not the first time Williams has been up at the altar – and we’re not talking about his 2010 wedding to Ayda Field.

Back in 2002, Williams got ordained for real in order to be able to marry two of his best friends.

He got his ordination certificate from Universal Ministries online, and married The Cult bassist Billy Morrison and Jennifer Holiday on March 1 at the Sunset Marquis and Villas in West Hollywood.

Better Man follows Williams from childhood, to his Take That days, to his life as a solo artist, without shying away from the struggles that the artist has been through.

The film was released in Australian cinemas on December 26 and is currently still showing.
