Bill Nighy interview on Ride or Die: Firing a gun on screen & Prague memories

Bill Nighy discusses playing the enigmatic, unnamed director in Ride or Die, a role he describes as “marginally spooky” and refreshingly lethal. He praises Hannah Wingham’s warmth and professionalism, and reflects on Tessa Coats’ skilful script, which balances comedy, romance and action. Nighy says there was little need for improvisation, with the writing providing the production’s foundation. He also recalls filming fondly in Prague and talks about his ambitions for an action career, joking about acquiring a “superpower” suited to his age. Wry, self-deprecating and charming, Nighy shares his perspective on making the new series.
