“My granddaughter’s schedule intensified, and I was charged with rabbit-sitting responsibilities. I wasn’t prepared to leave her unattended in a hotel room. The stakes are too high. Where I go, she goes…”
It’s a good thing he did. Judging by the bunny’s food stains, you can tell she’s well-loved and irreplaceable, a sign she is never left alone.
Nighy’s latest film, “Living,” was nominated for Best adapted screenplay and best actor.
Nighy has been getting rave reviews for his performance. Checkout the trailer below.
