Williams now spends most of his time in Los Angeles, California.

Williams appears to struggle with depression, insecurity, and self-loathing.[93] When beginning his solo career, he had received lots of criticism from critics which led him to drink and drugs. He has admitted to trying heroin and labelled it "the devil's drug".[94]

Robbie Williams entered a rehabilitation centre in Tucson, Arizona, US on February 13, 2007 for addiction to the anti-depressant Seroxat.[95] He left the centre on March 7 according to his official website.

In his fly-on-the-wall documentary Nobody Someday (2001) he repeatedly mocked his flamboyant behaviour on stage and felt that the persona and 'brand' of Robbie Williams Popstar was a fake that he increasingly felt uncomfortable with.

In more recent documentaries he yearns to become a credible artist in the eyes of the serious music press. In 2006 he appeared in "The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive", a BBC documentary on Bi-Polar Disorder, hosted by Stephen Fry, where he spoke publicly about his own experiences with depression. However, he said that the manic behaviour shown on stage was simply an act, saying he'd been diagnosed as being "dead upset" and started taking anti-depressants 13 months after becoming sober.
