Robbie Williams was at his mischievous self as he landed in Australia for his tour this week, but his mood changed when he was asked a very personal question during a press conference on Tuesday.
The 49-year-old Angels singer angrily slammed a journalist who dared to ask about the status of his sex life with wife Ayda Field Williams.
The reporter asked Williams the question after the British superstar recently revealed how his depression medication affects his libido.
In response, Williams responded with several personal questions for the radio producer, including questions about the dimensions of his anatomy as well as “How many people have you had sex with?” and “Do you cheat?”
“Hey, listen, a nagging question deserves multiple answers,” the singer added.

Williams spoke about a new Netflix documentary that features his battle with addiction and mental illness during an appearance on The Project on Tuesday night.
The pop star said the four-part self-titled series, which looks at his 25-year career, was “absolutely traumatic” for the hitmaker.
“It was deeply uncomfortable to be honest with you,” he said.
In response, Williams responded with several personal questions for the radio producer, including questions about the dimensions of his anatomy as well as “How many people have you had sex with?” and “Do you cheat?”
“I think people don’t even like looking at selfies of themselves and hearing their own voice,” he continued.
“And when you multiply that by watching yourself fall into mental illness, agoraphobia, depression, anxiety, and watching a nervous breakdown, that’s not normal.”
Still, Williams said he is grateful for the outpouring of love the Netflix show has sparked among fans and followers.
“Until it happened, I didn’t know how much I needed to be seen and heard,” he said.
“And I feel like I’ve been seen and heard, and there’s this bag of rocks with all these things that I’ve been carrying around for years, and it feels like there’s this revelation of whatever that is, has taken place.”
“So I’m on a high right now, I feel like the world is hugging me.”
In the show, Robbie tells the story of his 25-year show business career from leaving Take That in 1995 to his struggles with addiction and mental health.
Among the show’s raw revelations was William’s telephone marriage proposal to All Saints star Nicole Appleton, 48.

He also talks about his dependence on steroids to get through his tour performances.
Elsewhere in the show, the superstar reveals details about his romance with Spice Girl Geri Horner, 50, who he dated while studying AA.
In the documentary, he also talks in detail about how his battle with alcohol and drug addiction came to a head in 2007 after an intervention from his management.
The hitmaker is down under to play a series of stadium shows
The British pop star is currently down under to play a series of shows. The tour begins on November 16 at Allianz Stadium in Sydney before heading to Mount Cotton in Queensland, followed by Melbourne, Geelong and Swan Valley in WA.
His last official Australian tour was in 2018 as part of his heavy entertainment show World Tour, although he performed in Melbourne earlier this year for his biopic Better Man.
It follows the release of his album XXV earlier this year, which features remastered versions of his biggest hits from the last 25 years as a solo artist.
The pop star’s highly anticipated Netflix documentary was released on Wednesday and is currently the streaming giant’s most popular show.
