Robbie Williams has said he can't wait to show off his new look as he prepares to mingle with Hollywood A-listers at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards.
The Let Me Entertain You singer, 50, revealed he has got new teeth after ditching his old 'yellow nubs' for the ceremony and is excited to show them off.
The former Take That star is nominated for Best Original Song for Forbidden Road, from his new biopic Better Man.
Despite not normally attending award shows, Robbie said he feels 'very fortunate' and 'lucky' to be nominated.
Speaking alongside wife Ayda Field at the pre-Golden Globes bash, The Palm Springs International Film Festival, Robbie joked he is now a diva after being unknown in Hollywood after three decades.
He told The Sun: 'I am as excited as anybody else at meeting famous people. Honestly, on the evening, there'll be an 11-year-old inside me going, 'Oh, guess what? Look who is over there?'

'Yeah. I'll be super-excited. It's very exciting. I feel like a brand new artist experiencing new experiences in a brand new time at the end table. It's fabulous.'
Robbie added: 'It is always nice being invited to the party, even though normally I don't go. But I really wanted to come. I feel very fortunate to be nominated and very lucky to be invited here.'
It comes after Robbie's hopes of scoring his first Academy Award were shattered after his latest song was deemed ineligible for a nomination.
The singer's track Forbidden Road, from his upcoming biopic Better Man, was shortlisted last month in the for Best Original Song category.
However, Oscar bosses have since disqualified the song, saying it shares too many similarities with another tune from 1973, according to Variety.
The melody of Forbidden Road has been compared to I Got a Name by Charles Fox-Norman Gimbel, which was performed by Jim Croce in the film, The Last American Hero.
The Academy rules state that the lyrics and music of any track submitted in the category, must be 'original and written specifically for the motion picture.'
Robbie made the painful admission he struggled on stage during his New Years Eve concert in Sydney on Tuesday.

The UK megastar admitted he struggled with mental health 'demons' as he performed on stage in front of thousands of fans, which almost interrupted his show.
'I battled with anxiety and mental health demons. Yes, the other night I was on stage on TV. I had the tail ends of a cold,' Robbie told the Herald Sun.
The singer added he was taking medication for his cold and when combined with his ongoing mental health battle, he was left feeling very vulnerable.
'On top of a cold, I had jetlag. Cold plus jet lag plus anxiety and mental illness is a very potent combination.
'I noticed once I stepped on stage in front of 11 million viewing people, I felt crazy. I also had to hold it together and not, outwardly, let what was happening inwardly.'
He added his 'demon' of insecurity began to play with his mind and he worried about whether he would be able to perform to the best of his ability.
'The demons now are, "Twitter's gonna think I’m on stage off my face on coke." Not only do I look crazy, I feel crazy.
'While I'm enjoying myself, and going with it, I'm also experiencing anxiety, and all the mean comments out there in internet land.'
Fortunately, Robbie managed to pull himself together and gave his many fans a show to remember.
