Ncuti Gatwa reflects on Doctor Who role: ‘It is a gift of a job’
- Ncuti Gatwa, who recently departed Doctor Who, revealed he bonded with fellow Time Lord actor Matt Smith at Glastonbury, discussing the demanding nature of the role.
- Gatwa, who surprisingly left the BBC sci-fi series after just two seasons, described the job as incredibly stimulating but also "very exhausting".
- He previously stated on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that he left due to being "tired" and the role being physically, emotionally, and mentally "strenuous".
- Despite the toll, Gatwa expressed deep gratitude for the "gift of a job" and the passionate Doctor Who fanbase.
- Gatwa is currently promoting his new West End play, Born With Teeth, where he plays Christopher Marlowe, and also commented on his withdrawal from Eurovision due to a busy schedule.
