Robbie Williams has entertained himself during lockdown by dressing up as a medieval knight for a dramatic spoken-word performance of Aqua's 1997 hit 'Barbie Girl'. The 46-year-old singer, self-isolating with his wife Ayda Field and their four children in Los Angeles, donned a chainmail headpiece and tiger-print shirt for the video, which was captured by Ayda.
In the clip, Williams holds an ornate knight's helmet and delivers the iconic lyrics: 'I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. Life in plastic is fantastic.' Channelling Lancelot of the Round Table, he snarls and pumps his fist as he exclaims: 'Come on Barbie, let's go party, ah, ah, ah, ah!'
Ayda captioned the video: 'Sir Robcelot #comeonbarbieletsgoparty #knightlife.' The post quickly attracted comments from fans, with one writing: 'Love it! Actor extraordinaire!! Let's go party!' and another adding: 'Golden Globe performance!'
The performance comes ahead of what would have been the 30th anniversary of Aqua's formation, though the band split in 2001. Earlier this month, Williams reunited with his family after 21 days apart, having been in separate quarantine following a trip to Australia.
