Love + Rock

Helllooooo

I had possibly the coolest experience ever yesterday.
I was looking at dvds in Borders, talking to a friend, when i looked up and saw Bill Nighy selecting dvds on the opposite side of the stand.
For those of you who don't know who Bill Nighy is (you uneducated lot!) he's a famous british actor who has starred in many films including Love Actually, Pirates of the Caribbean, Underworld, and heaps of others
It went something like this:
Me (shaking): Um greg can i show you a dvd back there it looks quite cool
Greg: Yeah ok
Me: (once on the other side of the section): Holy shit thats Bill Nighy!
Greg: What? No it isn't (he looks back) Holy shit it is!
Me: Oh my go what do we do?
Greg: It mite not be him lets just leave him alone
Me: That's him i swear it is!
Bill Nighy (on the other side of the section, talking to his handler in his brilliant accent): I've been meaning to watch this one, i hear it's beautiful
Greg: Ok thats him
Me: I told you! I'm going to talk to him
Greg: No, you're crazy!
I stride over to him, shaking.
Me: Excuse me, are you Bill Nighy??
Bill Nighy: Why yes I am
Me: Could I please get your autograph?
Bill Nighy: Yes sure, and i even have a pen
Me: Cool i'll just grab some paper (i go into my bag and see the dvd he's holding is flight of the conchords!) Good choice by the way, Flight of the Conchords, it's great
Bill Nighy: Yes I've seen a few episodes and thought it was very funny. I'm actually doing a film with Rhys Darby who plays Murray in it
Me: Really? So what are you doing in New Zealand?
Bill Nighy: Actually at the moment I'm filming Underworld 3
Me: Wow cool, thanks for the autograph
Bill Nighy: My pleasure
Greg: Could i get your autograph too please?
Bill Nighy: Certainly
Greg: thanks
Me: Got it, ok thanks again
Greg (whispering to me): and now we make a hasty exit
And we quickly walked out of the store

So that was my exciting story.  It will be very difficult to beat that free period.
