    I watch anything with Mr. Nighy in it. Anything. And it is always worth it.

    Met him at my airport job. Stopped to tell him how much I'd loved him on Broadway in Skylight. He thanked me really enthusiastically saying, "Thank you so much! No one ever mentions the plays!" Chatted with me for a few minutes and seemed really sincere and down-to-earth. A brilliant actor but, also, a really lovely gentleman.

    Bill Nighy is such a legend and the epitome of coolness, kindness, wisdom and professionalism! I absolutely adore him and watch anything and everything he is in!

    @veritysmart Місяць тому +51

    He’s cool because he doesn’t even register that he is. He is the one person that utterly underrates himself. One of my absolute favourite actors and he seems like a genuinely awesome human being that I would love to have a cup of tea and chat with.

    It's so true. I'm 74 years old or young or whatever and my whole life I was undermining myself. Whatever lousy, critical thing I told myself was a lie. Actually, it was my mother's voice. I'll get my leather trousers. I love Bill Nighy.❤

    His advice on imposter syndrome and anxiety is spot on. I always remind myself of all the times I panicked that XYZ was going to happen, and catastrophised this and that.. and how many times it actually happened... it's zero. Zero times.

    For decades (mid '70s to late '90s) I ONLY wore Levi's 501s, no other pants. Weddings, funerals the works. I had 3 pairs at all times, Best, casual and knocking around. When the best pair faded too much I bought another new pair and they all got demoted. Actually I guess you could say 4 pairs as I usually cut the legs off the oldest pair for (rarely worn) shorts / swimming.
    Then they started putting 'elastine' in them (5% last time I looked) and now they are no longer cool. I haven't worn any since my last 100% cotton pair fell apart. I was going to say "your loss Levis" but it's my loss too. I miss them but at my age I'm not going to wear stretchy jeans any more than I was going to when Levis ruined them.
    Bill, you're one cool dude.

    • @patmaurer8541
      @patmaurer8541 Місяць тому

      Instead of organizing, let things 'live' where you actually use them because it makes it easy to put it away.
      In a few cases, having more of something makes it easier. I have a pair of scissors and pen & paper for every room because when I only had them at my desk, they wandered off.
      Do what makes sense for you and your lifestyle 😊

    Excellent Boomer Advice Aunt! You should do more! The thing the youngers don't understand is the understated, real, sarcastic, useful way we think! We are far more complex because we came up pre internet and then, when internet arrived (bulletin boards then dialup) we are the original internet generation! Two useful.ways of thinking and seeing things!

    In my mind Slartibartfast IS your portrayal of him and the "Hang the sense of it..." comment is something that I live by. Who cares, keep busy, better to be happy in life than right in an argument. 😌

      However, I do take issue on the blue suit. Grey. A nice grey suit and white shirt is really quite lovely.
      Or maybe it's just my husband who looks lovely in it. I do like him very much in his grey suit.

    Love what he said about reputations, SO true. I’ve seen people carefully construct very agreeable personas just for the sake of being well-liked, and it was only frequent interaction with them that allowed me to see behind the persona and spot something less perfect. This applies very much for those who post on social media, but also just for people in general in life.
    Also, he’s 100% right about social media - trust that the real world, most of it, is barely affected by or even present on social media. Very few things on social media have real world significance. It’s just a timesuck otherwise.
