'This show has incredible reach.'
"I remember Ryan Gosling bounding up to my trailer like, 'is the coolest show in the world man! I’m the biggest fan,' and I was like, 'What the hell?' This show has incredible reach."
After auditioning for the role of the Doctor back in February 2022, Gatwa said he was convinced he wouldn't get the part, which he said put his nerves at ease."I was just like, 'There's no way I’ll get this, it's a British institution and there's no way they'll cast a Black man.' So, I just had fun," he admitted.
When he got the part, Gatwa said he "felt numb" and that keeping the news a secret until it was officially announced "was very difficult". "I'd often get a little tipsy in Soho House, make a new best friend in the bathroom, tell them and run off. Thankfully, it never got out," he quipped., saying: "I am such a big fan of Ncuti's. He's the coolest, and him playing Doctor Who is like the most exciting thing that's happening right now. So, I'm here for it."
