"Robbie Williams has admitted that his obsession with UFOs made him &amp;quot;weird and fat&amp;quot;. The former Take That member took a keen interest in extra-terrestrial beings after becoming &amp;#039;burnt out&amp;#039; from his 20-year-long music career.   The 38-year-old star, who is about to become a father for the first time with wife Ayda Field in the next few weeks, was ridiculed in the past for his interest in outer-space.  Williams told The Sun: &amp;quot;Ever since I was 16 all I have been doing is make album, promote album, tour album... and I did that for 20 years. &amp;quot;Then I got a bit burnt out and I was looking for something else. I thought that something else was making documentaries about UFOs.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;But that wasn&amp;#039;t going to work out for me. It just made me weird and - at the time - fat. Weird and fat, looking at UFOs. &amp;quot;So I thought I would reverse out of this situation, which was a PR nightmare, and my management put the idea [of a clothing line] to me.&amp;quot; Williams launched his own fashion collection, Farrell, yesterday (August 30).
