Bill Nighy

And somebody said, you mean jogging pants?

I said, no, I don't mean jogging pants.

I don't own jogging pants.

I don't even know what they are.

And I wear a series of navy blue T-shirts and a pair of pomegranate Puma, reaching out for sponsorship, Puma trainers.

I used to be philosophically opposed to physical exercise of any kind.

And I thought it was vulgar of people because it seemed to suggest that they wanted to prolong their life, which I thought was embarrassing and sort of bad manners.

And people would always say, you know, but, you know, it'll make you feel better.

It's good for your mind, you know, all this stuff.

I thought I was going to smoke until I died.

And also I did have a problem because I was never, I don't, I have no history of casual clothing, not after my, after I was 40.

And I certainly not, you know, the kind of stuff you're supposed to wear when you train.

I mean, it was a consideration, I have to admit.

But then I found, you know, funky alternatives to the usual appalling stuff and it's worked out.

And it has actually, you know, it's one of the greatest things, another great thing that's happened to me.

And the bit after I've trained on the way to the coffee shop, which is about, you know, I don't know, 14 minutes.

is as good as I'm probably ever going to feel because you get that thing that everybody used to talk about.

It took me months of lying in bed with my phone trying to think of new reasons why I could text my trainer and say I can't come.

Like I've been up all night and I can't – oh, no, I've just been given a job, you know, just lies.

And then my trainer said something very simple but turned out to be kind of profound.
