Interview in Heat (23-29th June)
There is a small interview in this week's Heat magazine. As you'd expect with John, it's pretty adult in it's content. All I can say is....lucky David. ;)
There is a very mild spoiler for the upcoming eps.
Q. You're back in Doctor Who, as Captain Jack Harkness. How do you like that?
A. Love it! Jack's really a part of the Who family and these last episodes are incredible. You learn some jaw-dropping stuff about Jack and the Doctor. The last episode is possible one of the most spectacular Doctor Who finales you've ever seen.
Q. This is the first times you've worked with David Tennant. Did you get along well?
A. We'd socialised prior to me returning to Doctor Who. David, his girlfriend, Scott and I went to a Madonna concert. So he and I already had a nice rapport. David's a lot happier than Christopher Eccleston, who was a little... quieter, shall we say. He did slightly less smiling. I'm sure he's in a happier place now. I don't change for anybody, and perhaps Chris didn't know how to handle me. But David and I both have a silly Scotsman inside of us, so we get along extremely well.
Q. Which doctor do you fancy the most: Chris or David?
A. Aww come on! I don't care if you're gay or straight: when you work with a fellow actor, you have to find something attractive about them. Chris looked like a moody U-boat captain, so that was kind of a turn-on. David's funny, which is sexier than moody.
Q. Last time, you snogged the Doc and Rose. Will you be locking lips with David or Freema Ageyman this time round?
A. You'll have to wait and see. But the answer is yes! I'm not telling you which one though.
Q. There's confusion about your nationality. American, Scottish, Canadian... what are you?
A. I'm gay! I was born in Scotland and lived there till I was eight. Then I was raised in the US. I came back to the UK in 1989 to study Shakespeare and got a job in the West End opposite Elaine Paige in the show Anything Goes. So I'm British - that's why I can work here.
Q. As a judge on Any Dream Will Do, did you want Lee to win?
A. I was torn between Lee and Keith. It was a great honour to helo choose a new leading man for the West End. Guys like Lee will eventually fill my shoes, because I'll start playing the older characters.
Q. Having also judged on Making Your Mind Up, were you surprised when Scooch failed to make their Eurovision mark.
A. No. The British public chose them, John Barrowman didn't! If Europe didn't like Scooch, them fuck 'em - that's their problem.
Q. Have you got a funny DW story?
A. In one scene with David, I had my balls hanging out my trousers. I didn't tell him, opened my coat and there they were. Needless to say, the words he used were quite controversial.
Q. We probably won't see that on the DVD then. Do you have a contract stating your balls will not be shown?
A. No, I have a contract which states my balls will always be revealed at some point during a filming season. It doesn't matter who to!
Q. If you played the Doctor, what kind of sidekick would you like?
A. I'd like two. A really hot chicj with big boobs, and a really hot guy with a big packet.
Q. Have you ever tried to steal props or costumes from the Who or Torchwood sets?
A. No. But if I did, do you think I'd frickin' tell you? Jack's original leather trousers were my own, so one day I'll auction them for charity.
Q. Will you wash them first?
A. No. Whoever buys them can clone me, using a pube!
