When I was young people still went to jail for any public display of affection between people of the same sex. It’s bizarre to say that, and I’ve never understood it – and I still don’t understand any resistance to it whatsoever. And now in the 30 years since these events took place, I can now stand in a town hall in London and watch two of my male friends get married to one another and say “I love you” in a public place. I find that almost overwhelmingly moving, and it’s one of the great stories of my life.
Bill Nighy interview
0 CommentsThe Guardian interviews Nighy about his character Billy Mack in the film Love Actually.
If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way. It’ll be something I haven’t thought of that recommends me for those kind of roles, like my decadent jaw, which I was unaware of. Until you pointed it out. And my sneaky fookin’ eyes.
