Robbie Williams has slammed arrogant Hollywood actors.

The 'Angels' singer believes many movie stars have an exaggerated view of their role in society and should be more grounded.

He said in an interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper: 'They talk about acting as if it's saving someone's life, but it's not rocket science - it's just pretending to be someone else.'

Robbie also rubbished celebrity-endorsed religions such as Scientology, a sci-fi cult followed by Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism practiced by Madonna.

He said: 'I was raised a Catholic and still have the guilt, but I'm against organized religion.

'I had a look at Kabbalah on the internet out of interest but I wouldn't go to a meeting,'

Robbie also confessed despite living in Los Angeles, the movie capital of the world, he won't watch depressing films because they bring him down.

He said: 'I'm depressed enough so I don't watch any depressing films.

'Schindler's List', 'Brokeback Mountain', 'Saving Private Ryan' - no thanks.

'Take 'Million Dollar Baby', she bites her own tongue off to kill herself at the end. If I'd have known that was going to happen, I wouldn't have watched it. You don't need that in your life.'
