On the BBC show The Assembly, Michael Sheen was asked who on doctor who he would play and he said the Master. Ideally opposite David Tennant ofcourse. He also mentioned Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker being his first doctors so ofcourse I had to be inspired by Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley.

Was John Taylor from Duran Duran your first ever crush? “Yes, he absolutely was.” Michael thought he was the most beautiful person he’d ever seen, man or woman. And he tried to imitate his hairdo (didn’t work out though, because Michael’s hair is really curly and John’s is straight).
He’s not brave enough to go on Strictly because he thinks he’s not a good dancer.
How does it feel to be dating someone that is only 5 years older than your daughter? “Both of us were quite surprised when we got together, it wasn’t something we were looking for. I haven’t dated anyone who is much younger than me but you meet who you meet. We were both very aware how people might respond, and that it would be difficult and challenging, but ultimately we felt that it was worth it, because of how we felt about each other. And now we have two beautiful children together. We’re really, really happy. I am aware that I am a much older father, and it does worry me, and makes me concerned, and makes me sad thinking about the time that I won’t have with them. But if you find someone who brings you happiness and you make them happy you gotta go for that. So that’s what we decided to do, and I’m so happy we did because we have this wonderful family now.”
The next question (asked by the same girl) was: Who is the rudest celebrity? “Have you heard of a man called David Tennant? He was Doctor Who. Doctor rude! No he’s very nice. Someone will occur to me and I’ll let you know. (pause) Jennifer Laurence was very cheeky! She is very cheeky.”
How tall are you? “I’d like to be 5”11 but I’m closer to 5”10.”
He likes Dylan Thomas, even though he doesn’t understand all of his poetry.
He cries probably every day. And it’s totally fine to feel things deeply and get emotional about things.
His favourite Disney film is Moana. And that’s Mabli’s favourite movie at the moment, too. She watches it about twice a day.
He’s worried that AI will take his job away, and that it will change everything, not just actors and writers. And that by the time we will want to put a stop to certain things it’ll be too late.
His favourite food is Egg and chips. Only enhanced by ham.
He loves going by train.
If he could replace 2 people of the royal family he’d take away Andrew & Camilla and replace them with Joe Lycett & David Attenborough. Or Tom Jones as the Prince of Wales!
If he could play the Doctor or the Master, he’d like to play the Master and play opposite David Tennant as the Doctor.
His biggest fear is being alone. And it’s also what he worries about the most for other people.
Hot or cold? He does like winter and snow. ❄️
Walk us through the before, during and after of the kiss with David Tennant: reading the script he thought “that’s gonna be a big deal”. They didn’t really talk about it and just went for it. Everyone was quite moved by the scene, all the people around them, so they knew it had gone quite well. And now they never talk about it. (He said that last bit with a smile.)
5 OF THE INTERVIEWERS SANG HERE COMES THE SUN FOR HIM AND EVERYONE JOINED IN AT THE END 😍 Michael had tears in his eyes
Michael Sheen talks about David Tennant 3 (4?) times in The Assembly (including the Good Omens kiss) :), 5.4.2024
ONE:
Q: Who's the rudest celebrity?
Michael: Who's the rudest celebrity? Have you heard of a man called David Tennant?
All: Yes!
Someone: He was Doctor Who!
Michael: He was Doctor Who. Doctor Rude! The rudest man.
Someone: Is it so?
Michael: No, he's not really. He's lovely. He's very nice.
(bonus - yes I believe this was a dig at David :D <3
Q: What about Doctor Who? (do you like DW?)
Michael: Doctor Who. Depends on which one.)
TWO:
Q: If you're in Doctor who, who would you play, the Doctor or the Master?
Michael: Oh...
Someone: He's put you on the spot again.
Michael: I'm on that spot. I mean, there's been a lot of very good Doctor Whos.
Q: There has been.
Michael: The first Doctor Who I watched was John Pertwee.
Q: John Pertwee. He was the third Doctor Who.
Michael: Right. Well, he was, and I thought he was brilliant. And then Tom Baker.
Q: He was the fourth Doctor Who.
Michael: Right, yeah. I think maybe the Master would be a good play to part.
Q: I think you'll be the good Master.
Michael: They'll have to bring David Tennant back as Doctor Who again and then I can be the Master opposite him maybe.
THREE:
Q: Can you just walk us through the before, the during and the after of your passionate kiss with David Tennant?
Michael: Well, I remember, I remember reading the script and thinking, that's going to be a big deal, and.... yeah, didn't really talk about it and just went for it. I remember seeing that everyone was quite moved by the scene and all the people who were working on it, so we knew that it had gone quite well. Yeah .And now we never talk about it.
