Bill Nighy Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | British GQ

Bummed they didn't include his performances in Pirate Radio and Shawn of the Dead.

Charles Paris

Flipping me off for 20 minutes straight

The word Bill is looking for is Valetudinarian.

No Slatibartfast?

Bill Nighy seems like the cool grandad

No mention of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

Phillip from Shaun of The Dead?

Come on… what about strange fruit movie? That is funny

WOOOOWWW!! what about The Boat That Rocked??

He was the iconic curator in Doctor Who who praised Van Gogh's paintings which made the Van Gogh himself cry.

I first saw him in Hitchhiker's Guide... his Slartibartfast is a killer...'Then, you'll be..late... Late, as in 'the late Dent, Arthur Dent'. Also Pirate Radio, as the Irish gent who financed the boat... and let's not forget Philip in Shaun of The Dead... You've got red on you.

BILL YOUR DIPECTION OF DAVY JONES IS BEYOND ICONIC

No Phillip from the greatest movie of all time Shaun of the Dead?!

"I tried to play it like Adam Sandler - never get caught being funny." Cool, because he never has.

The Red Coat is flipping off all us Colonials. Respect

I just adore this man! What a treasure!

The combination of Bill's acting talent and the incredible cgi made Davy Jones into one of the most iconic cgi characters in the entire history of film.

It took me a couple to realize he wasnt just pissy/flicking us off talking about the experience. He likes to emote with his middle finger 😂

When i was young i thought this guy was bill nye....



The science guy....

Out of all the actors out there I would love to meet Bill

Bill was paid 8 mil. for his role.

Omg he is Davy Jones!! ❤❤

Sean of the dead should have had at least an honourable mention

Is he giving me the finger or you guys?

Bill Nighy the tentacle guy

No hot fuzz...or Shaun of the dead?

A tragedy that Pirate Radio wasn't covered here. It's one of my favorites.

I love all his roles, but my single favorite moment is the the sinister, almost subliminal twitch around the eyes when he’s telling Angel he has to leave the service because he was making them all look bad.

He's a very good looking guy🥰💕

No Cornetto trilogy? Seriously? Those and pirates are my personal favorites of his.

He’s one of my favorite actors

This legend is the voice behind "Moonraker" on Audible.

Why does he gestures with middle finger. It’s odd

Not mentioning Ray in Still Crazy as one of his most iconic roles should be illegal.

I was hoping they would do flushed away

Would loved to have him back in a pirates of the carribean movie as Davy Jones again ….

One performance of his that always gives me a chuckle was a scene in a Doctor Who episode. He ,as a museum curator, gets a hug from Tony Curran, playing Vincent van Gogh. The funny part is that they were in scenes together in the second Underworld movie.

Andy Pandy!! 😂😂😂

Shame The Worricker Trikogy wasn't covered, loved Bill in that.

Where is Shaun of the dead fantastic small role.

Im very sad you didnt add Shawn of the Dead

Is no one going to mention this man’s performance in Valkyrie?

Harry Potter anyone?

Davy Jones was supposed to be a Welshman not a Scot!

Bill Nighy? The science Gighy?

I enjoyed every minute if this and have a few movies to add to my Amazon cart that I can't wait to watch.

No Sean of the Dead?? Im gonna chase you guys around the garden with a bit of wood...

Meeting johnny depp 😂

Thank you 🙏🙏😊 mr bill night you will be remember in all time. thank you
