Cringeworthy pop-star Robbie Williams surprised the world a bit recently by revealing his fascination with UFO’s. Williams recruited Guardian journalist and documentarian Jon Ronson, known for his coverage of oddball subjects, and flew to Nevada to attend a UFO abductee conference. On meeting a mother of an alleged ‘Multi-dimensional star-child’ Williams relayed:
“I think joining Take That was like leaving on a spaceship, and coming back and all your friends going, ‘He’s weird now.’”
