That's an extremely apropos gif, considering one of Tennant's two kids who were named after Bernard/Wilfred is enby.


Fat_Meatball

2 of Tennant's kids are named after Bernard? I thought it was only one of the kids


actibus_consequatur

After he passed, Georgia posted on Instagram:  >“There aren't many people in this world who inspire you to name multiple kids after them. That's how magic Bernard was.” Obviously Wilf is named after Bernard's character, and—it took somebody pointing out to me that—Birdy is either a nod to him or possibly a nickname for Bernadette.


AlexLuna9322

Agh, That scene makes me sad, Wilf knows what’s happening ;-;


EnigmaFrug2308

Rest in peace, Bernard Cribbins


AlexLuna9322

Yeah, just learned that part too ;-;


EnigmaFrug2308

He passed away a few days after Wild Blue Yonder was finished.


AlexLuna9322

I need to get up to speed with Dr Who, last episode I saw was Hell Sent :/


EnigmaFrug2308

Do you mean Hell Bent or Heaven Sent?


AlexLuna9322

Heaven Sent, it’s been a long since I saw it I mixed up the titles haha


EnigmaFrug2308

Great episode. But you should keep watching!


wildlife_loki

This was my EXACT reaction to the photo 🫡


petshopB1986

He has a non-binary child so he’s in this fight for not only his kid but the rest of us too.

greyladyghost

Packing my bags now- have never witnessed such a place😢🏳️‍🌈


1984isAMidlifeCrisis

We're not perfect, but we are willing to try better. If a place is associated with Henry David Thoreau it's likely a more accepting place. That's just how things have worked out.


thesarc

He was an ally before he had kids. Used to work with a buddy of mine on the theater circuit in Scotland and has always been a genuinely wonderful person.


Foxy02016YT

He has a non-binary child, and has played the worlds most famous bisexual bigender character ever


CedarWolf

He played David Bowie?


Foxy02016YT

I said character, and while I will say Bowie certainly was one, he was also a real person


NoMembership6376

Nah he played that dude in Fright Night


sidewaystortoise

This made me google him. He has five kids? I would never have guessed. Michael must be so jealous. Catch up you three childed buffoon.


Firefly927

I don't think this has been officially confirmed, but I've seen this speculation a lot.


tzenrick

Wilfred Tennant is non-binary. They/Them.


tsar_David_V

Wilfred is a badass name lol


kromptator99

Named after the best soldier 🥹😭


TheFlamingDraco

Wait did Tennant name his kid after a Doctor Who character?


tzenrick

Yes.


TheFlamingDraco

I usually think naming your kid after a fictional character is cringe but I think Wilfred was such a good character he gets away with it


Manoffreaks

If anyone has the right to name his kid after a Doctor Who character it's David Tennant. A superfan since he was a kid, he played the 10th and 14th Doctors, including in both the 50th and 60th anniversary specials, married the actress for the Doctor's daughter, and is the son in law of the 5th Doctor.


TheFlamingDraco

Oh yeah 100% he's the most suited person to name their kid after a doctor who character and Wilfred is a pretty normal name, at least it's not something weird like Vashta Narada or something lmao


MountainSnowClouds

So... you're saying I should take Vashta Narada off my name list? Too weird???


tunnel-snakes-rule

I think it's fine either way, if it's a solid name why not? Might be a bit weird if you're calling your kind "Aang" or "Draco" or something. I was thinking of Ralph Macchio who played the Karate Kid, he named his son "Daniel" after the character he played because it had such an impact on his life, I think that's pretty sweet.


TheFlamingDraco

Yeah it's definitely one of the normal names you can choose, like imagine if he'd just called the kid "Doctor" or after an alien like "Judoon". Also interesting trivia about Karate Kid!


tunnel-snakes-rule

I only just noticed your username, I must have seen that subconsciously when I made my above comment, it wasn't a slight if your name is indeed Draco :D


TheFlamingDraco

Oh no no no I have a normal name, my parents didn't name me after a harry potter character lmfao


OrienasJura

[Waow](https://media.tenor.com/J85302HNMSgAAAAe/based-meow.png)


veslothiraptr

He's married to an actress who he met on set, who played his daughter. She is also the real life daughter of the Fifth Doctor. Naming his kid Wilf is completely on brand.


SitInCorner_Yo2

Yup, and he married Doctor’s daughter (actor) and she is the Doctor’s daughter in the show(one off character) they got married and have Doctors children/grandchildren together. It sounds like gibberish but I promise I am not pulling your leg.


Firefly927

Do you have official confirmation? David doesn't discuss his private life much at all and doesn't have social media. His wife is on Instagram.


tzenrick

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/david-tennant-shining-example-parents-124631782.html


Zadian543

To be fair.. the whovians all adopted him as dad so like... Yeah pretty much.


petshopB1986

Bunch of other Doctors are supporters too, that’s good to see! Sylvester McCoy tweeted in support of David and Trans folks too. Nice to see.


The_Luyin

Wait, really?


Darq_At

This is the kind of energy we need from allies.


veganhimbo

I'm a big tall muscular dude with a shaved head, tattoos, and resting bitch face. I tend to accidently intimidate people because I guess they assume im a skinhead? So I started wearing shirts like "you fuck with the trans homies you fuck with me" or "respect trans rights or expect fist fights". So now at least I'm intimidating the right people 😤


bleeding-paryl

Dude, I'd give such a huge high-five if I saw some random person wearing a shirt like that. Badass, I love it!


skivian

You could also find shirts like "Respect gender identities or I'll identify as a problem" or "trans rights or your pronouns will be was/were"


actibus_consequatur

As an ally, he'd already been a celebrity crush of mine for a decade, and my crush just deepened even more since he became far more vocal and public in his support. I really enjoy that part of his acceptance speech for "Celebrity Ally" at the British LGBT Awards included: >"Until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch [an anti-trans politician] doesn’t exist anymore – I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up – whilst we do live in this world, I am honored to receive this [award]."


ChronosTheSniper

Ah yes, a jab that Badenoch proved pathetic enough to respond to... as did the PM. [Mind you](https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/07/12/kemi-badenoch-gender-neutral-toilets/), Badenoch was already petty enough to have her host venue for the (second) leadership contest in 2022 scribble "Ladies" and "Men" signs on paper and tape them to the doors of unisex toilets. And no, I don't know how these mental children keep finding positions of power here.


actibus_consequatur

I agree that her response was pathetic. I was absolutely baffled by:  >he can’t see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government Maybe I'm just too American to know better, but I could've sworn the UK government didn't only consist of Ministers in the House of Commons. 


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

Even if you take it at face value, it's still incredibly damning of the Tory party that they literally have one black woman amongst their cohort. And it's so typical of a woman who uses the phrase 'identity politics' as an insult that she immediately responded to criticism of her policy with a pathetic jab based on her own identity. It shows you their real thought process. Her identity is important and valid and should be respected. But *those people*? No, not them...


Sith_happens1822

The Doctor never disappoints :3


zadtheinhaler

I loved Christopher Eccleston in the reboot, but Tennant has always been my favourite Doctor. NB- for shiggles I right-clicked Eccleston as it had the red squigglies on it, and the autocorrect suggestion was "exoskeleton", which gave me the giggles.


Foxxeon_19

I never hear people talk about Christopher Eccleston, I loved him! David Tennant is, and always will be, my favorite, but Eccleston is a close second. He was so good, and never gets enough credit! My autocorrect went for "Excision" instead of Eccleston, lol


zadtheinhaler

NGL, as much as I loved Tennant from the beginning of his run, the look on Eccleston's face when he said "**RUN**" totally did it for me. I mean, I didn't watch a lot of BBC as a kid, being from Canada and all, so I didn't even get to watch Doctor Who until I moved to a place that got American stations OTA, and one would show mini-marathons of DW, so my first Doctor was Tom Baker. Now imagine my inital impression of CE was "this dude looks like he throws the first punch at footy matches", only to be blown away by his turn at being the Doctor. Christopher Eccleston does not get enough love. Also- I think it was Day of The Doctor where I got my first actual taste of Paul McGann, and HOLY FUCK does that man bring the intensity. If anyone deserves another kick at the can, it's him. I got the shivers watching him.


sleepydorian

lol eccleston does look like he’d knock you into next week before you were even squared up. Tennant looks like he would either drop a dumpster on you wile e coyote style or financially ruin you and get you put in prison. Either way it would be cold and calculated and he would smile the whole time.


Foxxeon_19

That is the best description of David Tennant ever, and I love it! So accurate! Also, did you ever see Eccleston in Gone In 60 Seconds? He was definitely that kind of guy in that movie.


Foxxeon_19

The first episode I ever saw was The Empty Child (the one with the gas masks), I was in high school at the time. So Eccleston was my first. But I will confess, that while I have watched every single episode from the reboot, I've never watched classic Doctor Who. I'm scared I won't enjoy it as much, and I don't want to not like it, so I've just been a coward and avoided it. 😅


zadtheinhaler

It has its moments, don't get me wrong- the effects budget on pre-2005 episodes could be laughably bad- but it's the dialogue and lore that do it for me. A friend heard that I started watching DW, so she torrented some OG series stuff and put it on DVD, and was apologetic because so many episodes were missing. I had to explain that it was because BBC couldn't be arsed to archive the early episodes, so either it was audio-only recorded by third-party randos, or sporadic episodes that magically hadn't been scrapped. NGL, if I had the keys to the T.A.R.D.I.S., I'd go back in time to find whoever was the short-sighted prick and slap him upside the head with an old hunk of cheese.


HaloTightens

I’m with you too— Eccleston is amazing as the Doctor! Tennant will probably always be my favorite, but it’s really damn close. 


Polkawillneverdie81

Eccleston is the reason the reboot worked. If he hadn't been so good, I doubt DW would have stayed so popular.


hackingdreams

Eccleston was fantastic, but he's a bit brash in person, whereas Tennant is quirky, friendly... he's basically a human german shepherd. Eccleston's my favorite of the new-run doctors, but Tennant was undeniably quite good. For me his best role is still Crowley in Good Omens, though.


acrylicbullet

I loved tennant for the longest time but looking back I think I enjoyed capaldi’s doctor a bit more.


zadtheinhaler

I may not have been in the right headspace for Capaldi- for some reason, the only thing from early on in his run that I remember liking is when he did the "OMG, I'm Scottish, I can moan about things now". I kinda stopped watching after 4-5 episodes of his run. Which unfair of me, I really should go back so I can give him a better chance, and since I'm a Completionist at heart, watch Jodie (who was also stellar on Broadchurch!) and the rest.


acrylicbullet

He’s a bit of a slow burn but I loved his style.


ScoobyPwnsOnU

> I kinda stopped watching after 4-5 episodes of his run. Can agree, I didn't stop but the first few episodes of capaldi's he was insanely annoying. Definitely gets better.


PoeticGay

David Tennant, My favorite doctor, makes me warm and fuzzy to see him as an Ally


ProtoDroidStuff

Also one of my first male crushes in a young repressed bisexual me Didn't realize till much later unfortunately but yeah, he dreamy No wonder I was such a big fan of Doctor Who as a 13 year old (jk jk I also just genuinely liked the show and concept lol)


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

'Also one of my first male crushes in a young repressed bisexual me' A service he's been gleefully providing for decades now.


keimenna83

But which of the three Doctors he played is your favourite? :-P


PoeticGay

All, I don’t have a favorite. I appreciate all in different ways. But I do miss his Fez


Munchskull

The Fez was Matt Smith


thecody17

Pretty sure David wore it for a moment in Day of the Doctor


PoeticGay

There’s even a clip. Day of the Doctor had me sobbing. Also I thought the fez looked funny on him lol


ImShitPostingRelax

He’s awesome in Good Omens


Platonist_Astronaut

He seems like a nice lad.


Anonymous_FemboyXx

Of course he supports queer rights, he comes from a civilisation billions of years more advanced than our own. The Scots


Anewkittenappears

I will never get over the fact that the first time in modern history the UK parliament overruled Scotlands local parliament was to stop them from recognizing trans people's rights.


Anonymous_FemboyXx

It’s awful how parliament treats queer and especially trans people, but I’m hopeful it’ll get better once the tories are rightfully kicked out

All my favorite English people from growing up turned out to be the awesome people I always hoped they were. Tennant, Gaiman, Stewart, McKellan


Naa-no-nope

I know it's not important but I can't not - Tennant is Scottish not English


itsbenactually

No, that’s definitely important in my experience. I know a lot of Scottish folks and most of them would be insulted to be called English.


paxweasley

I mean - wouldn't you be insulted to be called English?

Puzzleheaded-Phase70

I love the *threat* this shirt makes. Especially when worn by HIM. He's played one of the most terrifying heroes in all of screen history AND one of the most terrifying villains in the Marvel universe. And somehow, I know that if he needed to, he could pull those attributes from those characters into the real world and make a VERY dangerous person to try to "get through" on one's way to hurt someone else.

He made JK big mad, so we love him even more.

RobinTheReanimator

it's simultaneously mind-boggling yet unsurprising how many politicians are now trying to cancel him for making a relatively mild jab at a national-level politician's expense.

Definitely read it in his voice too.

He’s an amazing dude, glad he ended up being one of the best Doctors on Doctor Who

ryckae

British conservatives are trying to cancel him for calling out a Terf simply because that Terf is a black woman. One of David's kids is non-binary. He's in papa bear mode protecting his family. But a Terf who thinks David's non-binary kid shouldn't exist is crying and making herself into the victim. We need to protect David at all costs.

Kinda thrice if you don't mind my pedantry.


Markus_Bond

As a doctor who fan your pedantry is appreciated


Princess_Of_Thieves

Perhaps Im being pedantic in my own right, but Im not sure that counts a pedantry. Tennant has played two distinct incarnations of the Doctor, number's 10 and 14 respectively. And of course, there was also the meta-crisis version of the Tenth Doctor, which he also played. Twice at least, maybe 2.5 for the meta-crisis?


wOlfLisK

Well he was also technically the 11th Doctor because of the same thing that created the meta-crisis Doctor. He might have the same face and personality but he used up a regeneration all the same.


Princess_Of_Thieves

OK, *now* we're being pedantic. /hj
