Robbie Williams ... Who That?

Robbie Williams is a big star in the UK, but his popularity across the pond was tested last night when a passerby had no clue who he was.


TMZ caught the "Rock DJ" singer outside the El Rey after the Mark Ronson concert, where after getting into his SUV, a man on the street started asking our cameraman, "Who is that?"

Even after being told "Robbie Williams," the guy was clueless. Guess he's not a Take That fan.

31. Robbie Williams is the BIGGEST pop star in UK history.. people, your ignorance is frightening. And, to further confuse the masses, the girl he is with is Ayda Field :

33. I'm born and raised in California, i've known who Robbie Williams is since "Back for Good" and I dont like Britney or Lindsay. Robbie is an amazing singer, songwriter, lyricist, performer, comedian, soccer player and stunning drop-dead handsome man. He is an international treasure. He is the world's largest celebrity, has an amazing record deal and holds the world's record for the most concert tickets sold in one day

I wish that Robbie would perform in the US, but the media frenzy is brutal over here. If he wants to ive in peace over here I respect Rob's decision not to promote, perform or release albums in the US.

The actress that he is with is a very lucky lady. What I wouldn't give to get near him!

For all those that have negative comments, I have to say this: you are only jealous insecure men making those comments. The problem you have with Robbie is that you and he knows that whatever wife, girlfriend, love interest you have in your life would leave you in a heartbeat for a roll in the sack, relationship or marriage to Robbie. If you have nothing kind to say about Robbie, then say nothing at all.

I wish Robbie eternal peace, happiness, health, continued sobriety and love. Robbie Williams is a legend for all times!

35. Old stuff, i'm really sick of it "ohhh...nobody in america knows him 555 it's ridiculous he can't break america indeed"

for me, i always admire this guy as he's the one who can be the world's greatest popstar without conquering america

41. He loves not being recognised in the US! That's why he lives there now! I love it that hardly anyone there knows who he is....all the more for us the fans who know how GREAT he really is!! He's the best kept secret I can think of...and DAMN SEXY as well!!

42. TMZ. You guys are stupid. I saw this dude sell out a stadium in the UK. He's sold tens of millions of records and yet you try to make him look like a nobody because he doesn'y focus on the U.S. That's ok. Please continue to focus on "real" stars like Chris Crocker, Perez Hilton, and Johhny Fairplay.

44. #42. That was funny. I saw him last year at Milton Keynes. It was crazy. Never been to a concert like that and nothing ever will compare to it. You could bring Elvis back and I don't think it would be comparable.

45. Robbie is the best. I'd love to be Ayda Field really.
