David Tennant: my dad, Doctor Who and the perils of playing a ‘good’ Nazi

Aside from the usual Baftas and Emmys, David Tennant has some unusual awards. Disappointingly, in 2008 he came only 16th in Cosmopolitan’s sexiest man in the world survey, a bit of a letdown, since the Pink Paper had voted him the sexiest man in the universe in 2006. Later, on a technicality, he missed out on a more specialised prize. “Do you know,” he says with a hint of pride, “I got voted rear of the year once. But you only get rear of the year if you pose in a particular manner for the photo — basically sticking your arse at the camera.” He declined — he has five children, all of whom would be cringing.
