Doctor Who
New member
Fady Elsayed has emerged as a ‘very different’ contender to replace Jodie Whittaker in the next Doctor Who.
The British-Egyptian star, 28, has drawn the attention of the sci-fi drama’s producers and is said to be a front-runner in the race to be the 14th Doctor.
Elsayed, who was born in London, first caught the BBC bosses eyes when he appeared in the Doctor Who spin-off, Class.
He played student Ram Singh in the 2016 BBC Three show and has also made appearances in TV series like Casualty and Silent Witness.
A source told The Sun: ‘Fady would be a very different doctor – but that’s precisely what the creators want.
‘He would also be one of the most attractive.’
Elsayed once expressed being a fan of the show, saying: ‘Growing up, that was all that was on TV. I was always very aware of Doctor Who. Now I’m a huge, huge fan.’
For those of you who aren't familiar with him here are a few pictures of him
