Bill Nighy: ‘Don’t be intimidated by someone’s reputation’

Bill Nighy has opened up on why you should never be intimidated by somebody’s reputation.

Speaking to The Independent at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards on Wednesday (18 March), the 76-year-old discussed his podcast Ill-advised, which sees him dish out opinions under the guise of an agony uncle.

He also reminded people that imposter syndrome is more common than you think. ”If you are deeply insecure, so is everybody else.”
