BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy is heading to New  Zealand and his number one fan will be here to not only welcome him, but fulfill a dream of interviewing him.

Newshub entertainment editor and film geek Kate Rodger is a life-long Bill Nighy fan and for many years has been chasing him in hope of an interview.

Now her dream has been realised as she will be hosting a Q & A with Nighy before he ushers in the first screening of his new film Their Finest.

"There are two men who share the top spot on my 'Need to Interview Before I die Bucket List' - Tom Cruise and Bill Nighy," says Rodger. 

Nighy has starred in a string of hit movies including Love Actually, Shaun of the DeadPirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Bill Nighy's Q & A and film premiere takes place at Auckland's Lido Cinema on April 7.
