‘Much more fun than being me’: Peter Capaldi treasures the affection he got playing Doctor Who

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Capaldi loved the “affection” he got starring in ‘Doctor Who’.
The 66-year-old star portrayed the Twelfth Doctor in the long-running BBC sci-fi series and explained that being the Time Lord was more “fun” than any other acting role because of the love fans have for the character.
Peter told RadioTimes.com: “It was just an incredible experience. Suddenly, you’re in the middle of this fantastical world, surrounded by people who love ‘Doctor Who’.
“I was watching Tom Baker (who played the Fourth Doctor) talking about something, and he said that when he was Doctor Who, he would do tons and tons of publicity and stuff, because being Doctor Who was much more fun than being Tom Baker, and I would say the same, probably, being Doctor Who is much more fun than being me.
“Certainly, you’re in a very privileged position, because you receive the affection for that character. It is a character, it’s not me, and it’s a delightful place to be. It would be a hard part to sustain. I think, forever, but you do see the best of people, which is lovely.”
Peter is currently starring in the Amazon Prime Video series ‘The Devil’s Hour’ as a criminal capable of ‘remembering’ the future but explained that he doesn’t seek out characters that have unique relationships with time.
The ‘Thick of It’ actor said: “Obviously, I seem to have some facility for impersonating these characters who have this weird relationship with time. It’s just being the kind of actor – you bring yourself to everything, really.
“There are little overlaps (with ‘Doctor Who’), which is fine, but (as an actor), you learn a certain skill about how you look angry or look sad or whatever.
“But actually, actors really are an accumulation of their life and their life’s experiences and also their roles.”
