Hollywood icon Bill Nighy has explained the reason he loves Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Nighy, who has appeared in both the Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter franchises during an illustrious acting career, has described the Italian coach as 'unparalleled'.
In an interview with The Observer, the 70-year-old who was promoting his new film Emma, described his passion for Italian football.
Crystal Palace fan, Nighy, said: "Last year, mostly I was watching Italian football. Because I love all of the names and I love the strips and I love the glamour and I love that they’ve got great hair, they’re all better looking than us.

"I’ve been watching Inter Milan since Antonio Conte went with them. He’s got a very interesting team, with Sensi and Barella and all these wonderful players.
"I love that Ancelotti is in England… Ancelotti at Everton, for me, it’s just a wonderful thing.
"He’s such an incredible man, unparalleled in his career as both a player and as a manager."
At the start of his career Nighy spent two seasons working at Liverpool's Everyman Theatre alongside the likes of Julie Walters and the late Pete Postlethwaite.
This helps explain why the Love Actually star also had some kind words about Everton's rivals Liverpool.
"I love Liverpool, too. They’re great to watch, they use the young players. Jurgen [Klopp] is some kind of maestro," He added.
