The actor took solace from a story he heard about his "great hero", as Bill Nighy describes '''Christopher Walken'''. "Somebody told me that he invented – or, at least, he made popular and famous – the 'holding the gun sideways at arm's length' method," Nighy says. "Apparently he was quoted as saying the reason that he holds it so far away is because he doesn't like guns."

Walken is another one of those actors who despises guns but I still think he's a pretty cool guy. I respect him for being a good actor and a nice person, but I don't agree with his beliefs. -GM

If you're an actor hired to play an assassin, there's one prop you really ought to know how to handle. "It turned out that I'm not one of God's natural gunmen," says Bill Nighy, the venerable scene-stealer of Love Actually, Shaun of the Dead and other modern British comedy classics, of his unlikely role in Wild Target.
