Hugh Grant responds to reports he's in talks to play the 14th Doctor in Doctor Who: 'Nothing against Dr W but I’m not. No idea where the story came from.'
Hugh Grant took to social media to respond to recent reports that he is in talks to play the 14th Doctor in Doctor Who. The Love Actually and Paddington 2 star became the latest British actor to be rumored to take on the role, alongside Danny Dyer, T'Nia Miller, and previous Doctor, David Tennant. The 14th Doctor will take over from current Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, following her departure in fall 2022.
Doctor Who is approaching the end of an era, as five years since her initial announcement, Whittaker will step away from the show alongside current showrunner Chris Chibnall in a special episode that will celebrate the centenary of the BBC. Following Chibnall's departure, former showrunner Russell T Davies will take up his previous position once more, starting with the show's 60th anniversary celebrations and following into the subsequent seasons.
Like fellow 14th Doctor frontrunners, Miller and Olly Alexander, who also denied his own casting in 2021, there is a common trend that links them with Grant that makes them frontrunners for the role. All three stars have previously worked with Davies on other series, much like how Miller starred in Davies' 2019 sci-fi drama, Years and Years, and Alexander starred in his 2021 drama miniseries, It's A Sin.
Davies has previously emphasized his ambitious, fresh approach to his oncoming new era of Doctor Who, and while Grant has shown before that he can perfectly capture the role of the Doctor, even if it was only brief, he may not be a fit for Davies' vision. While there is no doubt about Grant's talent as an actor, it could be assumed that his possible incarnation may be seen as closer to that of Paul McGann, Tennant, or Matt Smith due to his previous roles as a lead in romantic comedies.
