> [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > Double ditto! That is a treat. > > Is there anything wrong with Bill Nighy’s hands, i.e. arthritis or something? He appears to be in a constant state of flipping off the DJ. Did his Character, Billy Mack, do that in the movie? I know he was profane and might have done that in his performances but this looked involuntary 😕 From an article on [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/08/bill-nighy-interview-second-best-exotic-marigold-hotel). I looked this up years ago when I noticed: > [@](#): > > “He suffers from Dupuytren’s contracture, a condition that causes some of his fingers to bend in towards the palm, which can make shaking hands with fans difficult. Does it hurt? “Not at all. It started in my 20s. It was alarming and I should have had an operation on them at the time, but I didn’t because I was a mess and was frightened.” He holds up his left hand. “It means I have a spooky handshake.”” (I can actually hear him saying that when I read it 😉 ) ---

And I too can hear him saying it. Especially the bit about a “spooky handshake”/ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/love-actually-question/776567.md?page=1)
