"Bill Nighy is single. He has never read a self-help book, had no intention of becoming an actor and briefly went deaf after putting toilet paper in his ears to get to sleep. He has shutters, not curtains, in his bedroom, but has no idea what time he wakes up. If you invite him to a dinner party he will bring you exfoliating products, except don't invite him, because he won't come."
"The Surrey-born actor is as renowned for his suits as he is his singular ability to inhabit a role while remaining recognisably himself throughout. But almost 50 years into his career, Nighy is finally playing himself. A new podcast called Ill-advised casts the 75-year-old as an agony uncle, doling out advice and his innermost secrets to listeners from Italy to Mongolia to Scotland. The actor describes it as a refuge for the clumsy and awkward. But it's gently becoming the cult podcast of the year."
Bill Nighy is single, lives alone, and has quirky habits such as putting toilet paper in his ears to sleep and owning shutters in his bedroom. He never intended to become an actor and has unusual routines, including bringing exfoliating products to dinner-party invitations he will not attend and avoiding cooking despite being good at custard. Now 75, he fronts a podcast called Ill-advised that positions him as an agony uncle giving conversational, generous and uncertain advice. The show mixes practical and odd remedies with digressive life stories and is gaining cult popularity worldwide.
