Doctor Who: John Boyega is “so proud” of Jodie Whittaker

Posted Filed under

Star Wars: The Last Jedi star John Boyega has heaped praise onto current famous Time Lord and first female Doctor Jodie Whittaker…

The pair featured together in Joe Cornish’s cult classic Attack the Block back in 2011 alongside Legends of Tomorrow‘s Franz Drameh and Luke Treadaway.

Talking at the Google Pixel 3 Curiosity Rooms this past Friday Boyega said, “I’m so proud of her when I hear that she is the first female Doctor Who. That’s what I’m talking about! It’s brilliant to see a character – that can change and morph into and gain new life in search of time and history – is being revamped again.”

When asked by the audience if Boyega would ever make the leap from Star Wars to Doctor Who he replied, sadly, in the negative: “I don’t know about Doctor Who but I would love to work with her again. Definitely. 100%.”
