I have always loved Bill Nighy especially as the rock star in Love Actually when he said, 'Kids, don't buy drugs ........... become a famous rock star and they GIVE them to you for FREE! xx
Bill Nighy is such an interesting person ❤ and a marvelous actor. I wish he was my friend so he can lend me some books and share music. He hosted three BBC radio shows and the music he chose was great!
@@juderogers7946 According to my late Mother, who was a nurse, it is called Dupuytren’s contracture; I think it affects both his hands. Benign but undoubtedly inconvenient.
The first time I saw a Bill Nighy was in 1984 on the show Reilly Ace of Spies. A drama about Sidney Reilly and his eventual demise by Operation Trust run by Felix Dzerzhinsky. A Most important drama, especially in the political world today.
I love Bill Nighy, and the understated elegant way in which he dresses. I totally agree with him about holidays and Paris, and the pleasure of reading and sitting outside cafes. And he's so funny, my favourite actor!
Ford Madox Ford. Assumed that was just a fictitious character in J.M. Coetzee(youth?). Good to get a summary. Lots of roaming around in Trocadéro in my youth -- mostly because my apt there was quite small, only way to breathe seemed to be outside. Brings back memories. Coffee in Paris was expensive! Actually after a week of writing previous sentences, I find on the internet about J.M. Coetzee: "He worked for several years as a computer programmer while he researched his thesis on the novelist Ford Madox Ford"
As you did such a good job of Sam Gamgee I thought you could the part of Roy Tucker in the Archers. Parades end? You can do stream of consciousness best of luck. I thought Kerouac's Vanity of Duluoz was good stream of consciousness but with a story.
If you could get this to bill try naga viper pepper produced in the chillie pepper company cark cumbria a hybrid .....im not connected at all itll satisfy bill self harm 😂😂😂😂
Bill, I’m going to forgive the Sandler slip up. Obviously you lean into light hearted films at the avoidance of more complex cinema - Innarritu’s Biutiful ? Or The stoic brilliance of Blade Runner 2047. But alas it’s good to have clever comedic drama at one’s finger tips to open the proverbial drapes from time to time. As for books,do you shy away from the hard edge of novels like Blood Meridian ?
Are you calling Punch Drunk Love not complex? Haha. One of the most heartfelt, strange and tough film there is with PTA's brilliance and a superb Sandler performance. Hilarious
@@rigsby1454 I’ll watch it. I find Adam Sandler opaque, but then again I’m a Cormac McCarthy devotee. Not the easiest to sway towards comedic relief, but I’m open & curious to acknowledge I’m not always right :-)
I'm pretty sure the painting he is referring to is titled "A Study of a Woman in a Petticoat" (1902-1903). As of 2011, it was held in a private collection. It measures 36.1 x 30.4 cm, which goes along with the size he indicates in his description.
Good list of questions. This simply done format with interesting people has legs.
Seven perfect minutes in the company of a perfect gentleman.
❤
You are Malaysia
Bill Nighy is simply the Best !
The fact that he has chosen "Punch Drunk Love", one of my favorites, and goes on to mention books and cafes has sealed my love for this amazing human.
I never expected that pick. 🤣
A perfect English Gent. What an actor. What delivery. What superb diction.
Words can't describe how much I would love to see him play the role of Viktor in Underworld once again 😥
He was great in that. But then again, he's great in everything he does.
I have always loved Bill Nighy especially as the rock star in Love Actually when he said, 'Kids, don't buy drugs ........... become a famous rock star and they GIVE them to you for FREE! xx
So interesting, I could listen to him all day, one of my favorite actors………….Donna in Toronto
I adore him
This is the best interview I've watched this year.
great interview and I like the format.
I would love to see him do the Hot Ones challenge. he would be unphased by the sauces.
Bill Nighy reads Ford Maddox Ford’s Parade’s End on audible.
God I love this person. Absolutely singular and one of a kind.
Bill Nighy is such an interesting person ❤ and a marvelous actor.
I wish he was my friend so he can lend me some books and share music. He hosted three BBC radio shows and the music he chose was great!
Never meet your heroes…..!
That voice!
I love how he takes his time with every word he says
if you missed Page Eight series he made about him being MI5 , you must watch it! I rewatch often. its that good. (also called the Worricker Trilogy)
YES , The Worriker Trilogy" wonderful Spy stuff, and no guns.....Brilliant, Page Eight, Turks& Cacos, etc
@@Quadrant14thanks.
Could you possibly cite an access?
@@vskywarkit’s on Netflix Australia at the moment. Not sure about elsewhere
I agree!
Riveting! I know you will role your eyes but I could sit at a Cafe in Paris and listen to you give a dramatic reading of the phone book.
No eye rolling from me. Every night, for 3-4 months now, I listen to him as Charles Paris before I go to sleep. Call me a freak 🤷🏼♀️
What is wrong with his left hand???

Bill nighty is coolest most sophisticated gentleman . Love all his movies.
Just love this man❤️❤️❤️.
One of my favourite actors and human beings
He is everything a gentleman should be……
How does one, not love Bill? One just does! And I love he's giving us all “ the finger” the entire time.
Hahahahahahaha
Those are the fingers that work, not the frozen fingers of his disease.
Parade is a masterpiece, the last book is sublime. A close tie with Nabokov’s best.
I just think Bill Nighy is a national treasure of Britain. Such a charming, awesome actor.

He needs to do an episode of Hot Ones!
I'd love a 6th favourite - Music!
Spicy food and Parisian cafes-can’t beat that!
Add Pink Floyd and you have my top three.
Discovered this Actor rather late after watching "Page Eight". He would be an INCREDIBLE James Bond in his later years.❤
In the US Page Eight is called the Worricker Trilogy on PBS. Fantastic! I have forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me. I have to watch it again
@@aprillesantola8057 and thank you for the "deeper" insight.
Amazing a true gentleman ❤
I remember seeing bill once get his shoes shined at the Burlington arcade
Loved him in “He Knew He Was Right”. 💕
Love this guy.❤❤❤❤
Bill Nighy loving Punch Drunk Love makes him infinitely cooler
Definitely a fun and quirky gentleman. I adore his wit and humanity.
How could you make one of the world’s most suave humans even slightly cooler?
Love the fact his favourite film is an Adam Sandler film. Totally without pretence.
I have been madly in love with Bill Nighy since the 1970's, when l first saw him in a series called 'the mens room' .
I love Bill Nighy, and the understated elegant way in which he dresses. I totally agree with him about holidays and Paris, and the pleasure of reading and sitting outside cafes. And he's so funny, my favourite actor!
I love Bill Nighy and he supports my football team too. Simply perfect.
Which team ?
@@burningkiddo132 Crystal Palace. A real fan, not a glory hunter.
Just watched "Living" blooming brilliant cried my eyes out
An English Gentleman 🎩
I just watched this....then ordered the Adam Sadler dvd, and the novel "Light'........super guy.
Love this man so much❤
What a gem ! Thank you.
I adore Bill!!
Ok, will watch Punch Drunk Love.
Now knowing his palette, we need to see him on Hot Ones!
Amazing format !Great actor bill is.Take note GQ
Class!
I feel exactly the same about Rome
Bravo!
You gotta love that subtle middle finger 😅
He needs to go on 'First we Feast'.
Bill Nighy on Hot Ones next then
Just plain lovely.
He is lovely!
💞
What a great bloke. !!! You might also enjoy fords "fifth queen"
Sadly, only managed to visit Paris once, so far, I agree with Bill.
Bill has that " middle finger just a mov'in.😂😂😂
He has a disease where his other fingers don't work

Expensive and usually not great.
Check out the Parade's End mini-series w/ Benedict Cumberbatch. Excellent.
Will do. Thanks!
@@dhalgrentv7157 Actually youTube also suggested this. Parade's end read by Bill Nighy himself! Wonderful!! th-cam.com/video/XrCNGIObcJQ/w-d-xo.html
Would love to have a noisette in Paris will Bill and talk about Vuillard
Girl in the Cafe was fabulous
Absolutely. Hard to explain why, but it was exquisite :-) I loved it when he said he was going to be "aggressively late" :-)
A true legend
Sir Bill Nighy.
Love there Paris answer ❤❤
Thank you ❤️
the GOAT
As you did such a good job of Sam Gamgee I thought you could the part of Roy Tucker in the Archers. Parades end? You can do stream of consciousness best of luck. I thought Kerouac's Vanity of Duluoz was good stream of consciousness but with a story.
Going to ask these questions next time I’m out to dinner.
Brilliant!!!
A legend
Hot ones!
5 questions!!! Give him his own segment…
Someone get Bill Nighy on Hot Ones.
"It's a form of self harm, I think." 🤣😄 If Nighy isn't dating Wintour, please tell him I'm available. ❤❤
The last word that I want to hear uttered upon my death bed is the word “café” out of the mouth of Bill Nighy.💘
I'd rather kiss the lips of Isabelle Huperrt...
Maybe he should be on Hot Ones😅
Bill Nighy needs to do hot ones if he likes spicy food.
Funny we both live the same painter 🎉
Ask Fluffy where to get something hot, he was crying and sweating because it was so hot.
I love Bill nighy in underworld
Who is the artist mentioned? Edward ?
Edouard Vuillard
❤
A rake is a trickster criminal.
bookshops and cafes...whats not to like...

He was asked for his favourites, not the best, not the more complex, not the stoicly brilliant, not the hard edged !
@@01doha you are right . Thankyou for the perspective. It’s just I like him , perhaps I was looking for more commonality between our tastes . Thankyou
Was he awake or sleeping during this interview?
He's calm, erudite and dignified. Not everything has to be caffeinated Kardashian.
Thank god that's one TH-cam interview for ya. Looking for toktiks? I'm sure Bill Nighy is def not a TT material))))
Serenity is a rewarding state of mind and body.
Exercise it sometimes !
I think Nighy has memory loss - there is no such painting in England let alone at the Courthauld.
Be kind! Search Edouard Vuillard at Courtauld. The painting is there
Yes there is!!
@@ananana737 Be kind? Don't you think I have searched?

@@patigc1 Interesting - a fair bit of sleuthing there
Mr Nighy has been seen reading a book, sitting at an outdoor café in Marylenone...
Since he likes heat so much, and we ALL love him so much, GET HIM ON HOT ONES! @hotones @firstwefeast
