Brendan O'Connor · Bill Nighy: “Now I’m Irish, I’m going to have to rebrand” · 9 May 2026 podcast

And then I went after Love Actually, I went for a couple of interviews where I couldn't quite work out what was wrong or different about the meeting.

And then I realized they're trying to sell me the job.

And that was just ask any actor.

The greatest thing that can, well, one of the greatest things that can ever happen to you is that you don't have to audition anymore.

You don't have to stand in an office at nine o'clock in the morning and pretend to be on horseback.

and deliver some monologue whilst sword fighting imaginary people.

And struggling with your confidence in the first place.

I've never been famous for my social successes.

I'm not bad now, but it's all a bit late now.

But when I was young and sort of...

into yourself no well i mean i suppose that's what you know life is for or something is that you reach a point where you you as you say you grow into yourself um but yeah no that was just it was just a way of getting me off the hook you know the the promotional material was you know when you get to my age the risk is that you're you're mistaken for somebody who knows what to do about anything and uh see how that's working around the world with old men messing everything up

but um, you know, and they and it's a refuge for the awkward and the and the the clumsy and if you if you are Socially adept and enjoy healthy relationships.

There's nothing for you here.

That was the kind of you know, the Whatever the mission statement

Because I really don't.

It was just something to hang it on was the idea of me as an agony uncle, because I did a bit of press for a film on one of the you walk into all these hotel rooms in a on a junket.

And one of them, they built a little set with an armchair and a standard lamp and a Roberts radio on a.

coffee table and they pumped questions out of the radio from apparently from members of the public I feel inadequate about our humble setup here exactly and so we borrowed it and made it into a podcast so I don't necessarily I think I don't think people are too worried about the questions or about the the answers and I and I just natter it's just me I they throw the questions at me live as it were and

In the room and I don't know what they are prior to the recording So I just react to the questions as they're thrown at me and I just natter and basically it's a cup of tea with me You know, it's just that you know, if you fancy a cup of tea with me, you know, I'm available

I go out for all of my meals.
