Robbie Williams has claimed to be England's national treasure.
Done laughing? Alright, here is the what the singer told his soccer buddies, according to Contact Music:
I want to be known as 'El Presidente' or 'Nash', as in National Treasure. I'm the number one male.
Williams recently posted a video online in which he looked disheveled and out of whack, making some believe he was suffered from mental problems. The quote above came as part of his reassurance that he was, in fact, fine. It seems right to mention that the above quote was probably said tongue-in-cheek, but still, when you combine it with the soccer-clad picture, it makes for a pretty ridiculous line.
Sadly, Robbie's quest to reach the top has not been going well. Perhaps it's because of his 12-step plan for becoming #1, which some would say is fundamentally flawed. Take a look and tell me he's not approaching this all wrong...
Robbie Williams' Plan To Be Britain's #1 Male
Step 1 - Join boy band, then quit and become solo singer.
Step 2 - Get covered by Jessica Simpson.
Step 3 - Rip off skin in video (use CGI if necessary).
Step 4 - Move to L.A., complain about celebrity life even though no one in America knows who you are.
Step 5 - Go on "Cribs," point to bed, say "this is where the magic happens."
Step 6 - Check into rehab for Red Bull addiction.
Step 7 - Write a musical.
Step 8 - Start feud with well-respected band like Arctic Monkeys.
Step 9 - Talk to ghosts.
Step 10 - Talk about being England's "National Treasure."
Step 11 - Take picture where it looks like you just came from a middle school soccer practice.
Step 12 - Sit back and watch the praises roll in.
As of now the plan doesn't appear to be working, but who knows, maybe it's one of those concepts that doesn't come together until the very end. We're at step 12 now, so I guess we'll find out soon.
