Actor Bill Nighy was covertly recorded by YouTuber Jack Jones wearing Ray-Ban smart glasses outside a London café.

Actor Bill Nighy was covertly recorded by YouTuber Jack Jones outside a London café using Ray-Ban smart glasses fitted with a camera. Jones, who has 500,000 YouTube subscribers and is known for making fake prank calls, approached the 76-year-old actor and engaged him in conversation without his consent. In the footage, Jones told Nighy: 'Excuse me, Bill, I'm going to have to report you.' When Nighy asked 'For?', Jones responded: 'For being the best actor in the world,' before questioning him about his life.

A source close to Nighy described Jones' behaviour as 'very unpleasant and disrespectful' and said the actor had been left 'unsettled' by the encounter. The video was uploaded to Jones' YouTube channel. According to The Mirror, this was not the first time Jones has targeted Nighy at what appears to be the same café. Two years ago, Jones posted another video in which he approached the actor from behind and repeatedly asked 'Where is Shaun, Philip?' – a reference to Nighy's character in the 2004 film Shaun of the Dead. The Mirror reports that some viewers of that video branded Jones a bully, with several calling the stunt 'vile' and 'a horrible thing to do'.
