What's with Nighy's hands?

Anyone ever notice Nighy tends to retract his pinky and ring finger? It's very odd.

He has Dupuytren's contracture.

It just seems dumb that he didn't have it fixed in his 20's. Even back then it was just a couple of snips to the tendon (& some physical therapy) & voila it's fixed.

That is weird. Maybe he was too busy with his career to take the time off.
