Bill Nighy's cleaning fetish

Bill Nighy has a dry cleaning fetish.

The 59-year-old 'The Boat That Rocked' star says there's nothing better than a wardrobe full of freshly dry-cleaned clothes.

He said: "If it stands still long enough, dry clean it. I can only really operate in a decent lounge suit."

The actor always wants to look his best, which is why he never wears shorts.

He told Britain's The Sunday Times magazine: "Shorts? Shorts are repellent. It's not going to happen. It's like toga parts. You're never going to see me in a toga. I would starve rather than do toga parts. Nobody except Brad Pitt can dignify a toga."

The star - who is usually tight-lipped about his personal life - also revealed he finds stormy weather "better than any drug".

He adds: "When I was young, the weather used to drive me mental. I used to have to contain myself in a better-than-any-drug-you-ever-took way.

"I used to scream and leap if the winds got high and if there was rain attached to it, I'd become deranged. I used to run and jump in it, open my mouth, open my eyes, open my face to it. I dig it... But I'm not a weirdo."
