" It was a magic moment, like a hunter seeing a Unicorn and just letting it go because it was too beautiful." I think that's a very apt and beautiful way of putting it. The unicorn (or DT in this case) is something to cherish, to keep safe and the fact that it exists alone makes the encounter a wonderful moment. At least for me. I don't need validation by having a piece of paper with a name on it, or a shifty picture on my phone. I sometimes think the best imaginable encounter with DT would be if I could... I don't know, do something nice for him, like open a door or pick something up he dropped and just NOT react to him being David Tennant. I might grin like a lunatic, but... yeah. Be nice. Just that. (if it would lead to him feeling good about it, too, I'd be on the moon) I've seen actors (small-time, but still known on national television) and not reacted apart from watching them be just normal humans (waiting for a train, looking into shop-windows), so I'm fairly confident I woudl not turn into a crazy fanperson. Once I saw Sting at a museum, and a schoolmate went over and asked if he were Sting (he said "no", but ... yeah, it was ), and I wanted to die from shame. There's someone out wanting to see pictures, or see a show or be out with their kids just... let them enjoy that! Don't bother them. Memorize the moment in your mind, it'll never go away! Just be nice!

When I lived in L.A., my relatives told me that you ignore the celebrities. No one wants to be bothered if they need to run into the store for 2 items about whatever movie they've done...show they finished. When they aren't in character, out there on the streets of L.A. (and I imagine New York, Toronto, London yesus, we all know better) then you don't see them unless they speak to you first & that's not allowing for creepy staring.

THIS. Thank you.

This is a great analogy

I don't really like meeting people at all so I wouldn't go say hi. Also I'm incredibly shy so I wouldn't have the courage last of all I don't want to meet actors because it would be awkward for me and probably an inconveniences for them. Not worth it all around.

jacquie58 10 months later and I was thinking this exact thing.

Graham Norton and Sam Jones are the two best interviews in my opinion.

Theres a Canadian interviewer named George Stroumboulopoulos...same thing...researches the hell out of his guest... which really surprised has most of them... And then he actually lets them talk

I love Strombo!!

E J you don’t get it do you? Graham HOSTS the party. Makes his guests comfortable and shares in the conversation. He doesn’t do in depth interviews he has his guests entertain the audience with funny stories etc. Guests repeatedly return because they enjoy themselves so much. You might not like him or his style but that doesn’t make him a fraud. I enjoy different styles of interviews. I have on occasion wanted to chuck a brick through the tv screen when the interviewer is talking over the guest but never wanted to do that with Norton. Still there’s plenty out there if you don’t like one, choose another.

Beyond the Lens totally - him and Dame Maggie Smith. There is just something about them - Wisdom? Humility? Who knows, but they are just truly interesting human beings, outside of being an actor.

He's not an amazing actor.

Paul Charles Morris yeah he is

@@TardisInTheSkye Plenty other actors better than him. He's nothing special.

Tea. He's a guy I'd like to have tea with and let ramble at me. He probably has some really great stories.

I have nothing but a massive crush on David Tennant...

This is such a lovely comment

@@emma4557 awww, thanks

hope he sees this bro

If not the most loved and well known Doctor

He has lots of performances other than doctor who which are phenomenal and people still remember

@@lonelytraveler541 He was great in Jessica Jones and once he was gone the show was not the same.

He’s the modern day Tom baker

@@sheevpalpatine1883 tom Baker is the popular doctor of all time for it all tbh

He became my favorite Doctor when I watched "The Girl in the Fireplace" from Series 2.

He is my favourite after Tom Baker. Says a lot for someone who watched Doctor Who for decades. Until the recent years.

@@danielwilliamson6180 that's one of the best episodes of Doctor Who

For me, that was Peter Capaldi, especially in Season 9 and 10. Though David Tennant was my favorite Doctor before that lol. Honestly though, I've liked all of them so far.

Most of my favourite episodes of DW are with him as the Doctor

He's not half bad at doing accents, so I reckon he's got one or two in his back pocket for when he's out and about and doesn't want to give it away.

I just discovered that Disney rebooted Ducktales so for nostalgia's sake I looked up a clip. I thought "lol this Scrooge McDuck sounds like David Tennant and it's not even because Scrooge is Scottish." After about 5 min I was so distracted by my brain autonomically picturing David Tennant talking as a duck I looked up the cast -- YEP it's our beloved DT voicing my dude Scrooge McDuck. 😂

@@MilA-eh3gf Same. I was watching it with my brother and the moment Scrooge started talking, I looked it up too and there his name was. It's a pretty good show, BTW.

I say this, go watch Final Space on netflix, you will not be able to recognise David Tennant's character, his accent/voice acting in that is incredible and unrecognisable.

@@R3lapsx Right?! Only that IMDB lists him as the voice actor I'd never have believed it.

r0bw00d lol!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

r0bw00d careful they might be a bit *hungry*

Colour tv? You posh bastard! 😝

I've already sent off the stamps for my portable!

Right ? lol

underrated comment.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, he would make a good Dalek.

Justin Gould - Yes, he’d bring a lot to the role. I would love to see a sketch with famous actors auditioning as a non speaking Dalek, with the performance being exactly the same each time.

"ONE! PINT! OF MILK! PLEEEEEASE! DO! YOU TAKE! MASTER CAAAAAARD!?"

Jon Ericson What was he like Jon?

@@That_Random_Bloke Pretty brief.

Time Lords don't age.

‘it must be Lily then!! oh my goddess

My thoughts exactly

It's just Doctor, Doctor Who is the name of the show

The Doctor was originally credited as Doctor Who

@@Valdaur Plus tons of people involved in the show, including Doctor actors, refer to him as Doctor Who. Not worth 'correcting' someone over IMO.

GLAAAAAR Bill Hartnell wouldn’t respond to anything other than: dad, grandad, dear, Bill, Will, William, Mr Hartnell or Doctor

@@authorofone So... no "dude"? XD

The character's not called doctor who

@@StatusQuonald Yes it is called Doctor Who. Steven Moffat even confirmed that

Mehmet Tertip then why is it ‘the doctor’ in the credits

@@thejfoshow1320 Watch Steven Moffat interviews, he tells why.

Mehmet Tertip what interviews?

I think hes great in everything he does, he deserves more roles

Yes, very creepy. XD

Get back here, Jessica

Don't forget Jessica Jones and his many Shakespeare plays.

@@CaseyTyler357 Yeah you are right :D

Personally, I wouldn't put Potter in the list. Obviously Potter itself is world famous and people know that he's in it, but it is only one film and a smaller (but important) role. I wouldn't say that makes him world famous, not like DW and Broadchurch do.

@@lwaves Well actually you are right

And he did the How To Train Your Dragon audiobooks

K

abadstroller that’s a really nice way to go about meeting famous people 👍

I saw cillian Murphy on a busy street. He was walking incognito with shades and his head down. I immediately shouted thats cillian Murphy while pointing at him. He continued to walk past me like i didnt exist , not even a hi. They do say you should never meet your heroes.

@Astroblaze the Reality Traverser as a consumer of his work his response should have been gratitude. Without me and others like me , where would he be? Probably pointing at a moviestar excitedly trying to get their attention

@Astroblaze the Reality Traverser entitled brat?!?!?! How dare you???? HOW VERY DARE YOU INDEED. Ive never been so insulted in all my life. Shame on you .SHAME ON YOU!!

I think someone never watched Doctor Who *at all* (and just did a bit of research before this interview and saw the current air date). But if he did indeed only watch Series 11 then... sucks to be him.

@@hagridmary It doesn't mean he only watched Series 11, it could mean he watched them but not when they originally aired.

I get that all of his characters have a little evil, or at least not 100% good. Everyone acts like The Doctor is holier than thou but Tennant’s Version commits genocide when it came to the Racnoss

Well technically they already did. They did 3 Doctor Who audios at the end of 2017, following 'unseen' adventures that canonically occurred during their time when Tennant was the Doctor. Still not quite the same as seeing them visually together again though, but it's something. :)

#4?!

@@georgerigberg4335 I'm watching Doctor Who again but this time from the beginning. I'm so excited for when I get to Tom Baker.

He protec He attac But most importantly This meme needs to fucking die

@@lefr33man the meme has died, it's just kids that play Fortnite 24/7 who comment it on everything

The thing about David is, as several people close to him have said, he has a really hard time turning people away or ignoring them, as he himself grew up as a fan and knows what it's like. So he ends up at Disneyland with his family, taking selfies and signing autographs. It's really up to the fans to be courteous.

@@daffy8995 That's exactly why I think a small positive and one-way signal is the best possible way to show appreciation with respect. Though I can also see the argument to do nothing at all, as even something quick and small could add up and just be frustrating and distracting.

He talks about this on his podcast with almost all of his guests, so it seems like it's something that he is still struggling with. He absolutely appreciates his fans and will go out of his way for them. I saw him at a comic con in San Antonio and the line to see him was so long he skipped his panel and stayed in line past closing time. (The Fire Marshall was busy trying to keep lines in check.) A person who worked the convention told me and a friend that they ended up having to charter a plane to get him to another con the next day because he missed his flight.

If I were to meet an actor at the stage door of a theatre or I happened to be passing a film location, I'd feel fine to go say hello - that's a professional situation. But even so, be polite and remember they are at their workplace so will be busy. If I happened upon a celebrity in a restaurant, shop, street etc., - that's their private time so I'd just smile to let them know I'd clocked them and move on.

Be polite and use your common sense. Ask yourself if this is the appropriate time and place to say hi, and if they haven't got time to stop and chat don't take it personally. The chances are they probably do have somewhere they need to be, just like anyone with a job there'll be demands on their time. If you find yourself tongue tied, then just admit it and apologise; most people will be gracious and appreciate the honesty and will try to put you at ease. Don't gush too hard about their entire career, but maybe pick out a few personal highlights to compliment them on: The entire point is to keep it light, casual and undemanding so they don't feel like they're deer caught in the headlights of a speeding car. Then ask them for a photo or an autograph if you feel the need, but again don't expect it, thank them for their time and then wish them a good time. Then proceed to walk off, with a smile on your lips and a bounce in your step for the rest of the day.

His podcast conversations on the topic with Olivia Colman and Jennifer Garner are really interesting. Poor Jennifer, especially, who gets absolutely hounded by paparazzi whenever she goes out.

Right. He was in mid flow, and I found myself thinking, "Just let him talk!!".

Bad idea. You would die from alcohol poisoning. :)

I'm drunk!

Where’s the funeral at bois?

I blacked out

@Andy Young I hope it for him, because his old one is now useless.

Have you seen The Secret Smile?

I'm not sure that the Universe could handle them both being in the same room at the same time....that much Light and Goodness can't be contained by mere walls.
