ROBBIE WILLIAMS pulls no punches as he prepares to return to the charts with a Christmas album.
The 45-year-old has reignited his feud with Liam Gallagher, while also revealing he still smokes weed, turned down giving Zayn Malik life advice and is finally revelling in his wealth.

Ever since Robbie challenged the former Oasis frontman to a fight at the 2000 Brit Awards, the pair have been at each other’s throats.
But now the ex-Take That star has laid down the gauntlet.
Speaking in the new issue of GQ Hype, pictured, Robbie says anyone who crosses him is an enemy for life and Liam, 47, is on “The List”. How Christmassy.
Here we share some of his other best bits.

On money
I USED to hate the term “fashion”. I just used to think it stood for all the stuck-up, prissy, elitist n*bheads.
That’s who I am now. I found my people and I’m home. I’m worshipping at the temple of materialism and I’m giving it a f***ing good go.
You know the amount of time that I spent hiding the profits? Wearing really crappy shoes?
I wasn’t hiding the profits on purpose, but I thought everything was just a vulgar display of wealth.
I remember I bought a Ferrari one month. And I felt that bad about it that I bought a number plate that said “Sorry”. And I sold the Ferrari before I arrived at the house because what do I think I am? When I grew up, the people I grew up with would throw rocks at fancy cars.
11
Them and their Rolls-Royces? What a f***ing bunch of b*llends.
Then I wanted one. And I changed my mind. Right?
I was, like, 29 and I got in one and I was like: “Oh, it’s like being in a living room”.
I coveted it for a decade. Nearly 15 years mulling it over, thinking it through.
For 12 f***ing years.
Then on my 40th birthday, I thought, “F*** it”. I’m going to put my foot down on this whole wealth thing and see what it f***ing feels like.
On fighting Liam Gallagher
OH, yes please. I’d love it. But I’d want it to be a professional fight.
I’ve just seen how much [YouTube stars ] KSI and Logan Paul made from their fight and I think we could trounce that.
But, yeah, I think last time in the Noughties Liam wanted to go down to an abandoned railway track or something. I don’t want to do that.
It’s got to be f***ing whistles and bells if it happens. You see the likes of Nigel Benn coming back – and they’re professional boxers. But, yeah, Liam and I would be a wonderful thing.
11
I’m in good nick. I’ve been boxing and sparring.
So let’s just say I’d be more than happy to get in the ring with him. More than happy. Let’s be having you!
And obviously I’d win. Not on points, no. He’d go down in the third round, I reckon.
And we’d have to get a proper licence as we don’t want to be wearing any head protection.
Knock out. Third round. Nighty night. Yep.
On being a role model
WHEN Zayn [Malik ] was going through it, his people reached out to me to give him a call to help him.
And I was thinking, “Help? But I’m f***ed, too”.
I didn’t want to f***ing phone the kid and tell him there’s no hope. You don’t want me on that phone call!
11
Hey, I know you’re only 24 right now, but it can only get worse. It is going to get f***ing worse.
I’d take that phone call now.
Yeah, but at that particular time, you don’t want me on that phone call.
On drugs
I DO find it difficult to not smoke weed. Although, even that’s becoming an easier thing if it’s around me.
Weed is a bit like a chocolate bar. If there’s a Kit Kat in the room, I’m going to eat the damn Kit Kat.
If a Toblerone is in the room, I am going to eat the Toblerone. If there’s a joint in the room? Then it’s going to be difficult for me to not smoke it, but that’s the only thing really.
11
In LA, weed is now like having a coffee. It’s everywhere. Everywhere smells of weed.
And it’s like smack out there. It’s acid-level potency. You have a puff and then you’re wrestling demons for the rest of the evening until you wake up. It’s not a nice place to be.
So that can be testing. But, you know, that craving lasts for like five seconds.
But for those five seconds I feel like I’m wrestling a bear.
On sex
DID I go platinum? I’m definitely platinum, but I’m not diamond.
I never tried to add the number up, no. I couldn’t.
There was a time quite recently when I was being interviewed by this woman and I realised halfway through that I’d slept with her, although I’d been acting like we’d only just met as I hadn’t remembered.
11
It was on camera and my wife Ayda was with me.
And there was another time when we were at Jag Gym in LA with the kids and there’s a ball pit and a girl walked in and I just had to jump in the ball pit and hide.
“Ayda! Ayda! I think I have slept with her, but I can’t remember who she is.”
On mental health
I’M a poster boy for broken people.
I think to understand everybody is to forgive everybody.
And I thought always that if I try to explain why I’m like this then maybe somebody will understand.
11
Also, my mum was somebody who indoctrinated me to speak my mind about what was happening at any given time.
She thought that was good for you.
She was way ahead of the game. So there hasn’t been a period in my life when I haven’t talked about it.
On looks
I ALWAYS thought that being voted the most attractive man on the planet is so f***ing silly.
How f***ing ridiculous and stupid is that, right?
And then you don’t make the top 40 and you’re like, “What? Where am I?”.
11
All of a sudden, not silly. Then it becomes important. What happened to me? I’m still here!
So I don’t like seeing myself in the mirror. I don’t like watching videos of myself. I don’t recognise the person I am seeing when I look there – the passing of time.
On diet
YOU watch all of these documentaries on Netflix about meat being full of steroids and really bad for you and you realise that maybe red meat ain’t that great for you.
Anyway, I thought I’d give just eating fish a bash. If it swims, it thins.
It really is a transition, getting used to not eating red meat any more.
11
But I can do it. I mean, I haven’t had a drink for 19 years and I find that once you get into the slipstream with these things – with breaking a habit – it’s who you are and what you do.
So who I am and what I do, right now, is eat fish. And it’s working.
On Christmas
I LOVE Christmas and then I despise Christmas. It was very exciting when I was a boy because BMXs were huge and my BMX would take care of me for the rest of the year.
I was a latchkey kid. I had the key on a piece of lace around my neck so I didn’t lose it.
And I’d be miles away from the house every day, every day, all day, even Christmas, until it went dark, and then eventually we didn’t even come home after it went dark and you’re doing whatever you’re doing, drinking and so on.
But when I stopped drinking, Christmas just became this raucous, adrenalin-filled orgy of festivities that I was still a part of, even though I haven’t had a drink for 19 years.
11
And when I got sober I had to deal with the depression that the booze was masking. So then I hated Christmas.
Then my wife Ayda happened and she is so big on Christmas. For our first Christmas together, she turned the house into Blackpool illuminations.
And I was down for it, but every morning I woke up and there were so many lights all I could think about was the electricity meter.
These nodding f***ing reindeers and snowmen that move and lights upon lights . . .
But she wants to create memories, and her enthusiasm for Christmas is infectious.
On politics
I LIVE in that bubble people talk about. I’m from the place that voted Leave, but I live in a different environment now.
So I can understand the point of view of the people that wanted to leave, but that’s not where I’m at, personally. Yeah, it’s not.
That being said, it’s not a hill I’m interested on dying on at the moment.
I’m just watching it and going, “Right, sort yourself out and then we’ll see what happens”.
