Billy Connolly – 78 Years

Billy Connolly’s official qualification was that of a welder, specifically a boilermaker in the shipyards of Glasgow. However, he wanted more and so he left his job to pursue a career as a folk musician. After several changes, he eventually found his true calling as a comedian in the early 1970s. He performed at various festivals such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which is the largest art festival in the world. In addition to comedy, Connolly also acted in films such as Indecent Proposal, Pocahontas and The Boondock Saints. He retired from comedy in 2018 and now practices art such as painting and sculpting.
