Bill Nighy: I am not suddenly the greatest actor in the world
He is treasured and instantly recognisable, most particularly since playing ageing rocker Billy Mack in Richard Curtis's Love Actually in 2003.
"I try to never watch (my old films). It takes me so long to get over it and I'm always so downcast. I find it really distressing. Maybe when I'm very old, I'll sit down and watch my earlier work. But it will just depress the hell out of me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. It's not like I'm some weirdo. You just see how far short it falls from where you might have imagined you were heading. I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like. I hope that's the case because otherwise I'll kill myself." He chuckles.
"The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it."
