Hugh Grant Addresses Rumors of His Doctor Who Future

Many British media outlets reported yesterday that Hugh Grant was “in talks” to take over the lead role in Doctor Who following the departure of Jodie Whittaker later this year, and the Hollywood star took to social media to add his own comments to the story. Grant, who has recently been filming on Warner Bros.’ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, Wonka and the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons movie, became the latest in a long line of potential stars who could be taking over the role of The Doctor in the long-running sci-fi show. According to him, the reports are simply not correct, and he will not be appearing in the series.
