Bill is an international treasure.

I'm convinced that Bill Nighy is the coolest man ever.

[@ghintz2156]

He's like the good natured origin of the evil doppelganger Gary Oldman.

Bill never disappoints ❤️

This story is so pure and wholesome ❤ just an artist allowing himself to exhale a sigh of relief after an opening 😅 ❤. And the fact that the driver was a good sport and joined in on the celebration 🎉 just love it❤

I love Bill Nighy. And the fact that Andy cant stop laughing.

Some actors use drink, others use drugs, Bill uses M&Ms

I love Bill Nighy. That British rom com he starred in with Hugh Grant is the funniest movie I ever saw.

"I'm not great at happiness but I'm quite good at relief." Lol, is that the most English thing ever said?

[@susantaylor5068]
