Soccer Aid fans do double take as they compare Robbie Williams to Hollywood star

Viewers who were watching the Soccer Aid game tonight were surprised when they saw Robbie Williams on their screens as the manager of the England XI team.

This article talks about a popular musician who organized a charity soccer game in collaboration with Jonathan Wilkes in 2006. The singer, who is 50 years old, recently debuted a new haircut on television that caught viewers by surprise. His fresh look has sparked many comparisons to various famous personalities, including Johnny Knoxville from Hollywood.

Robbie seemed to have more grey hair than usual and had chosen a longer hairstyle. He wore a suit and completed his appearance with a set of glasses that had thick frames.

Social media users expressed their views on Robbie's fresh appearance, and a majority of them confessed to not being able to identify the ex-Take That member when he initially emerged on the sidelines.

A few people reckoned that his gray hair and glasses gave him a resemblance to stuntman and Jackass celebrity Knoxville. In contrast, others put forward that he looked more like the famous British Bake Off star Prue Leith. Additional opinions tossed in fashion expert Gok Wan and tennis trainer Judy Murray.

One person on X, which was previously called Twitter, wrote that they didn't know Robbie Williams was coaching England, thinking it was Johnny Knoxville. Another person remarked that Robbie Williams became similar to Johnny Knoxville so slowly that people didn't recognize the change.

Someone put forward the idea that the vocalist resembles "@realjknoxville" more than the authentic Knoxville himself. Furthermore, another individual inquired if Robbie Williams had recently transformed into Johnny Knoxville.

Some people came up with their own ideas. One person wrote, "As Robbie Williams gets older, he seems to resemble Elton John more." Another fan mistook Robbie Williams for Judy Murray, saying, "I initially believed it was Judy Murray sitting on the bench. However, it turned out to be Robbie Williams!" Additionally, someone else joked, "Did they swap Robbie Williams for Gok Wan?!"

One more viewer stated with confusion: "Why is the soccer aid commentator addressing Robbie Williams while displaying Prue from bake off?" Someone else inquired: "Did they substitute Robbie Williams with Jamie Lee Curtis?"

A few people proposed that Robbie had a resemblance to Prue Leith, who is a star of the show Bake Off. This recognition was given credit to Channel 4.

In the meantime, a few people who were watching ITV were not fully focused on the game as they noticed an issue with the field before the match began. As the broadcast started tonight, viewers soon realized that the football field at Chelsea's stadium didn't look as good as it normally does due to some noticeable brown patches.

One person who watched the game commented that the condition of the field at Stamford Bridge was not great and they could have chosen a better location to play. Another individual shared that the pitch resembled the sandy and uneven surface often seen in beach football matches.

Soccer Aid is an event created to gather funds for disadvantaged children globally. The event features two groups made up of both well-known personalities and seasoned footballers who come together for a benevolent match this year. One of the event's creators, Robbie, is also on the management team for the England team this year, where he is joined by Faank Lampard, Vicky McClure, Harry Redknapp, and David Seaman.

The England team this year features ex-footballer Jill Scott, TV host Paddy McGuinness, musician Tom Grennan, Dragons' Den sensation Steven Bartlett, Olympian Sir Mo Farah, and the amusing Alex Brooker from The Last Leg. Alongside them, the Soccer Aid World XI FC crew boasts of Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt, funnywoman Maisie Adam, popular radio personality Roman Kemp, comedian Lee Mack, and former Love Island hottie Tommy Fury.

Since the beginning of the games in 2006, England has emerged as victorious five times. Their latest triumph was in 2018. On the other hand, Soccer Aid World XI FC has dominated the match, winning seven times and setting a new five-year winning streak record.
