John Barrowman raises eyebrows with racy 'Doctor Who' remarks

By MICHAEL HINMANFeb-18-2007

And who said magazines weren't for adults anymore? Even the official rag for "Doctor Who" is looking to steal some thunder from Penthouse Forum after "Torchwood" star John Barrowman made some rather interesting comments about his "Doctor Who" counterpart, David Tennant.
In a recent issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Barrowman -- who is openly gay -- described Tennant as "sexy," and even talked about a daydream he had about Tennant and his "Doctor Who" predecessor Christopher Eccleston, which he said caused him to awaken "aroused," according to British tabloid The Sun.
Barrowman also talked about Ashley Way, a director for the "Torchwood" series, saying that he's a "real hotty. I like him. He has a nice bum."
Those comments, along with Barrowman talking about his oversized ... well, anyway, those comments apparently outraged readers causing one fan named Robert Mitchell to say that the magazine is not "Gay Times."
Clayton Hickman, editor of Doctor Who Magazine, was quick and to the point in responding to the feedback.
"We consider the magazine is for odler reades, but some of this content may have overstepped the mark," he said. "Apologies."
Barrowman, who just completed a successful run of the more adult-themed "Torchwood" spinoff on BBC Three, will appear in three of the final four episodes of "Doctor Who's" third season, which is expected to pick up this spring. He will star alongside Tennant, who is still apparently in talks over whether or not he'll do a fourth year on the show.
