PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: He's his own copyCAT! Robbie Williams re-wears famous Rock DJ tiger-printed pants as he enjoys a roar-some time in Rome
In 2000, the video for Rock DJ showed Robbie Williams stripping down to a pair of black underwear with a tiger on the crotch.
And 15 years later Robbie broke out the garment again when he was spotted lounging around his hotel in Italy.
Robbie, 41, was sporting his newly bleached blonde hair and a vast selection of tattoos but it was his pants which drew attention.

Williams was on holiday with his wife Ayda Field and their children Theodora Rose and Charlton and he took charge of the kids while Ayda fit in a spot of shopping.
Robbie stripped down from a pair of blue shorts to just the underwear as he enjoyed a bit of nostalgia.
The Rock DJ music video, directed by Vaughan Arnell, was extremely controversial due to its explicit content.

The video began with Robbie dancing at a roller disco with girls skating around him before stripping off to grab the female DJ's attention.
When even the tiger-print underwear did not work, he started stripping off his skin, muscles and organs until only a skeleton was left.
No doubt Robbie and Ayda were happy to get away for a relaxing break after a tough few months in which they Ayda was the subject of claims of sexual harassment by a former personal assistant.

Gilles De Bonfilhs, a former aide to the star couple, accused mother-of-two Ayda of walking around in various states of undress and asking him to comment on her body.
It was also alleged the 35-year-old quizzed him on his sex life and shared intimate details about her sex life.
However, a representative for the couple dismissed the claims as being 'entirely without substance' and stated that they would be 'strenuously defended'.

Gilles, who worked for the pair between October 2014 and January 2015 sued both Robbie, 41, and his wife, although there are no allegations listed against Robbie in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The former employee claimed his contract was 'wrongfully terminated' and reportedly asked the court to award him damages in excess of $25,000.
The personal assistant was dismissed in January for 'serious misconduct', according to a spokesman for the couple.
