Robbie Williams has admitted that he’s losing out to Harry Styles, as he’s struggling to get big names to work with him.
The 42-year-old, who rose to fame with Take That, told how One Direction star Harry is the ‘new’ Robbie Williams, because he’s working with the likes of Bruno Mars.
“Last year I tried to work with Bruno Mars – didn’t hear anything back. Tried to work with [Swedish songwriter and record producer] Max Martin – didn’t hear anything back. They literally didn’t return my calls.
“Then I met Harry Styles in an airport. ‘Oh, you’re writing, Harry? Great, who with?’ He goes: ‘Well, I just spent a week with Bruno Mars, and I’m about to spend a week with Max Martin’,” he told the Radio Times magazine.

The Party Like A Russian singer then told Harry, “You’re the new me. Good luck!”
Robbie has a lot of love for the 22-year-old, and compared the fascination to David Beckham.
“I think Harry Styles has beguiled the whole world just by being Harry Styles. He’s got a David Beckham-style quality. So he has won in that regard.
“There’s a space for him but the music has to be great,” he added.
