Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa ‘hits millionaire status’

OHMYGOSSIP — Ncuti Gatwa has become a millionaire, before even appearing as the titular Time Lord in ‘Doctor Who’.
The ‘Barbie’ star, 30, is said to have “racked up a small fortune” after shooting to fame in the Netflix teen comedy ‘Sex Education’ in 2019 – where he played the openly gay Moordale student Eric Effiong – and signing up for the BBC sci-fi series.
A TV insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Under normal circumstances becoming The Doctor is the career move that ensures you never have to worry about money again.
“It’s an incredibly lucrative position and leads to all sorts of spin-off work and acting opportunities.
“But Ncuti has already racked up a small fortune through sheer hard work and some shrewd choices of roles.”
Ncuti – whose Time Lord predecessors include David Tennant, 52, Jodie Whittaker, 41, and Matt Smith, 40 – recently told how his rise in show business has also included plenty of disappointment, because he has reached “the final two” in the audition process numerous times and lost out.
He told Rolling Stone UK magazine: “I’ve gotten down to the final two so many times. Then I meet the director and… I’m convinced that there’s something about me that just turns them off. I was sure this would be the same thing again.
“I’ve always felt that I’m not masculine enough, not whatever enough for these directors. I can play that, but when they see I’m not that…”
Ncuti admitted he was able to instantly “vibe” with Greta Gerwig, 39, who directed ‘Barbie’, the live-action adaption of the Mattel toy, in which he plays one of many Kens.
He said: “The Leo-Libra vibe was just there at that Zoom meeting.”
And he praised the film’s leading lady Margot Robbie, 33, for being a “very good party host”, after she took the whole cast – which included his ‘Sex Education’ co-star Emma Mackey, 27- to the stage show ‘Magic Mike Live’ in London.
