On ‘toxicity’ of being ‘fetishised’ as a Black man on the gay scene.
Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has spoken candidly about his experience of navigating the “white gay environment” of Glasgow’s gay scene while working as as a shot boy and go-go dancer.
Gatwa said goodbye to his breakout role as gay Black teen Eric Effiong in hit Netflix series Sex Education in September. But he’s not staying idle for long as he prepares to take over the controls of the Tardis in the British sci-fi series Doctor Who in December.
Given his high-profile year, he has been under the spotlight more than ever, and earlier this summer confirmed he was part of the LGBTQ+ community after casually referring to his identity as queer man publicly for the first time, during an interview with Elle.
