Hugh Grant has shut down rumours that he is “in talks” to take over as the next Doctor Who. The Paddington 2 actor said he had “nothing against” the time-lord franchise but had “no idea” where the story had come from.
Jodie Whittaker announced she would be hanging up her sonic screwdriver last July. The Yorkshire-born actress has starred in the long-running BBC sci-fi series since 2017 and was the first female to play the character.
Grant responded online to an article speculating whether he would be next in line for the legendary role. "Nothing against Dr W but I’m not. No idea where the story came from," he said.
