David Tennant jealous of new Doctor Who
Monday, 2 November 2009
David Tennant is "jealous" of Matt Smith taking over his role in 'Doctor Who'.
The British actor said seeing Matt assume the role he has played for five years reminds him of how he felt when he was told he would play the character in 2005.
He said: "I'm really excited for him but I remember how exciting it was starting out on this kind of a journey - and nerve-wracking and a bit overwhelming. But it was just such a kick.
"So I'm jealous he's going through that now, but it's brilliant and it couldn't happen to a nicer chap."
David also said he would have to get used to seeing someone else on screen as the Time Lord, but will at least be able to watch the next series with the same suspense as regular viewers.
David added: "I'm sure it'll be a bit odd at first to watch somebody else playing the part but I'm really looking forward to not knowing what happens next.
"I'm looking forward to being a viewer again because I've always loved 'Doctor Who', so I can't wait to sit down and watch a new one."
David is the tenth actor to assume the role of the Doctor since the character was introduced in 1963, and has starred in a number of TV specials this year. At the end of the year the doctor will then regenerate as Matt.
