Doctor Who star David Tennant pretended to be timelord as kid

Doctor Who star David Tennant spent his childhood pretending to be the famous timelord, his sister has revealed.

David, 38, will leave his role as the Doctor this year and he is currently filming his final scenes before new Doctor Matt Smith takes over.

His sister Karen said that he was a "geeky" boy but knew he wanted to be an actor.

She said: "He was a gorgeous little boy… running about, playing Doctor Who. It has been a life-long love of his, Doctor Who.

"He told everyone who was prepared to listen, from a very young age, that he wanted to be an actor."

Karen also hinted that her brother may be in line for a Hollywood role following his run as the timelord.

She said: "David likes to keep things very close to his chest until they're absolutely cut and dried. But it will be bigger and better things."
