A considerate Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor, sharing a milky beverage with a friend.
I have felt so empowered by Eccleston’s recent advocacy for men’s mental health and discussions of his own anorexia. It can take a lot of bravery to do so in a world that can be so unkind. Here’s to wishing him the best on his ongoing journey and thanking him for the joy he’s brought me and millions of others as an incredible actor.
when nine said “do you know like we were saying about the earth revolving? it’s like when you were a kid. the first time they tell you the world’s turning & you just can’t quite believe it because everything looks like it’s standing still. i can feel it. the turn of the earth. the ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, & the entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, & i can feel it. we’re falling through space, you & me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, & if we let go. that’s who i am.”
