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

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❤

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

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

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