Pegg best for boys’ night out

Actor Simon Pegg is the top celebrity choice for a boys’ night out, beating Bruce Willis and Russell Brand.

He headed a poll of male film stars chosen when men were asked to name their ideal companion for a night on the town.

The poll was commissioned by Sky Movies HD ahead of their “Men Behaving Badly” season this month.

Pegg – star of Spaced, Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead – drew a fifth of the votes, while Die Hard tough guy Willis was second. Ricky Gervais came third.

Ian Lewis, director of Sky Movies, said: “Simon Pegg is a fine choice for a wingman – the perfect combination of funny, British and skilled in zombie fighting.”

The Sky season from October 3 to 9 features 19 films showcasing male bonding including The A Team and Easy Rider.
