The film Living, which also stars Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood, sees an elderly man who is told he is living with an incurable illness, and decides he must start living his life to the fullest.
"And then when we met he put it together with me, which was for me obviously a marvellous development, and then he agreed to write the script.
"Then when Oliver Hermanus, who we'd seen his previous film, Moffie, which he shot with Jamie Ramsay, the cinematographer that made this film, and they came as a package, and they were they just turned out to be completely incredible. So the whole thing was very, very attractive."Nighy added that at its heart, the film is about"procrastination", saying it is something that"everybody struggles with".
He explained:"The film suggests it's just an example of how you can resist that. You can actually get stuff done, and you can actually give your life some meaning rather than not."And while Mr Williams in the film looks at his own legacy ahead of his impending death, Nighy explains that he is not someone that is concerned with his own."I kind of know it's going to happen, but I don't really believe it - I don't think I'm alone in that.
"But no, I don't think about my legacy. I used to think that my films would come on at three in the morning when people couldn't sleep, you know? And they'd be like, 'Oh, there's that bloke. What's his name? He was in that other thing you remember'... But now, of course, they just Google, and it'll be digital. It'll be all streamed, but no."
