Iconic comedian Billy Connolly shares wise words on how to live happier life

Scottish icon Billy Connolly has been sharing some interesting ways to live a happier life in his new television series - some of which include avoiding foods and nylon sheets.

The famous comedian has stopped touring the world as a stand-up legend, but has been filming a new TV series at his home in Florida, as reported by the Daily Record.

In the new series, 'Billy Connolly Does...', the highly-esteemed 'Big Yin' has discussed family life, how he met his now-wife, and his favourite things to do in life.

Connolly was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013, leading to him retiring from live performances five years later.

He now spends his time catching fish, watching TV and drawing.

Billy discusses his love for his second wife, Pamela Stephenson, delving into the close connection they have despite his condition.

Billy said: "She’s incredibly bright and she can do four things at once. And she can speed-read. And she knows how you buy a house, I haven’t a clue.

"It works out brilliantly and she knows how to look after the children, how to get them into school and out of school and into the world.

“She does all of that and I smile in the background and say funny things from time to time.”

In the show, which also features comedy from Billy’s archives, he admitted: “I’m kind of blissfully unaware of how the world works.

“It’s a sin, really. I’ve been looked after by managers and people all my life.

“And now it’s Pamela and the children.”
