Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has shared his candid thoughts on the hit series Sex Education, in which he won widespread acclaim for his breakout role as Eric. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the actor revealed that the show “wasn’t always fun.”
He explained: “It was tough; it was a big show. When you tell stories that you’ve never seen before, there’s always a struggle about how to tell them. It’s not always fun. I felt like we were bigger than him and gave him everything we could… That quickly led me to the downsides of this industry. telling me that white people wouldn’t understand my character, Eric, that pissed me off. There’s a whole show that white people can understand.”

He continued: “The trajectory of my life changed in 2018 5 years ago. And that’s one thing. It was a very fast train. I’m still trying to understand what happened then, but… now the train of the past sped up in 2011… The actors chose this job to hide behind our characters and now suddenly you’re the center of the stage… you just focus on your work.The side of fame can be distracting.
