QOTD: Bill Nighy -- DIgby

https://digbysblog.net/2025/10/19/qotd-bill-nighy/

The great British actor has a podcast in which he answers questions and dispenses advice. it sounds fabulous. That advice above is spot on.

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice?

“You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There’s only two kinds of politics these days, and you can’t breathe the same air as the other kind.”


I hate to say it but … yeah.

For me, he’s one of those actors that improves every movie he’s in.

The mockumentary where in one episode he played a middle-aged man who has chucked it all to become a commercial photographer for which he has absolutely no talent.

I don’t call myself a fan much, but for Bill Nighy I make an exception. He’s genuinely charming.
