Bill Nighy is one of those celebrities who can't put a foot wrong. He's a bit like the English version of Bill Murray, in fact he's even got the same first name. What are the chances of that?

And so it was during a recent interview with the Independent that Bill made it entirely clear how charming he actually is. Mostly by explaining how he believes the nation values Judi Dench's life over the Queen's:

"I became a legend of bad driving [growing up]. I could never pay attention for long enough. I used to drift into the back of people,"

"My father gave me a lovely car to congratulate me when I passed my test, a Ford Prefect that he'd driven for years without incident. Within weeks, I got the bumper stuck in a chain-link fence and took half the back of the car off as I pulled away."

"I protected Dame Judi from this information before shooting the motorcycle scene, but I would wake up every morning dreading it,

"If you kill Judi Dench, you can't go home. You could accidentally kill the Queen and sneak back into the country, probably. But kill Judi Dench and you'd be overseas for the rest of your natural life." 

Bill Nighy's a terrible driver? Could be worse.
