Behind the Scenes of Rivals - with David Tennant & friends [ Part 3 ]
Excerpt from Caitlin Moran’s The Time Magazine article (Sept 2024)
I’m interviewing Hassell, 44, and Tennant, 53, together. As a former Doctor, Tennant has, of course, a lot of experience in playing a role women find attractive. “Once you’ve made [Rupert Campbell-Black] flesh, I think a lot of people are going to find it difficult to interact with you, Alex,” he says, helpfully. It seems Hassell is aware of this. “Yes,” he says. “One friend, when I told her, said, ‘Oh, that’s a bean-flicker role!’ I said, ‘Ah, I see.’ ” “Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone come up to me and say, ‘I’ve masturbated thinking about you,’ ” Tennant says, thoughtfully. “David!” Hassell exclaims, hurt. “When we met, that’s the first thing I said.”
