Robbie Williams spent a day trolling tourists in Amsterdam and the footage is hilarious

The Take That star did it again

The global pop icon is no stranger to messing with fame. This week he hit the streets of Amsterdam with a mission: to see if anyone would recognise him. Spoiler alert: most didn’t.

After his concert in Amsterdam, Robbie Williams decided to explore the city — in true Robbie style.

With his ever-supportive (and sneaky) wife Ayda Field behind the camera, Robbie strolled around asking strangers to take photos with him. Instead of fanfare, he got puzzled looks.

A master of low-key chaos

A few people recognised who he was, but the majority were just plain confused by the very enthusiastic man asking for selfies.

But it’s Amsterdam, right? Sometimes you just have to say yes to a crazy stranger.

This isn’t Robbie’s first undercover gig either. Last year, he plonked himself on a bench in London in a video cheekily titled “Waiting to be seen.” Spoiler again: he wasn’t.

In another clip, Ayda films them walking through Hyde Park on their way to dinner.

Robbie’s outfit is anything but subtle, yet not a soul recognises him. At one point, he even says hi to a group of people, who completely ignore him — classic London.

Ayda’s Instagram is now full of these hilarious undercover moments, all tagged with #Stillundcover. And honestly? We’re loving every second of it.
