Tom Hanks & Peter Capaldi were both Oscar winners in 1995 🏆 | The Graham Norton Show - BBC

[@Ladco77]

This speaks volumes about the type of person Peter Capaldi is. Can you imagine most actors passing their Oscar around letting everyone hold it on the flight back home? He was also gracious to shine the spotlight back on Williams and sing his praises.

[@Hhhhhh-sz9ud]

Ladco77 Worth noting that, while he is an actor, the Oscar he won was for a short film that he wrote and directed, not one he acted in.

[@daarianaharis]

and how genuinely nice and professional he is. Most Hollywood A-listers wouldn't have "stooped" to changing themselves and their approach rather than insist that the boy change his dialect. Even the director wanted to boy to change his accent, and they could have gotten him a dialect coach. But Tom suggested to change his own accent instead, because this is a hard thing to do for a kid. I mean, he doesn't seem to see himself as superior or more important at all; he will go to great length to accomodate a kid and change for him rather than insisting on being the center around which all decisions revolve.

Bish comback.. yeee-ow. As much as Walliams 'acted' annoyed.. his body language gave away he genuinely was. Im not a big fan of him, so for me it was fine that he got humbled in pubic. I dont think he has enough talent to judge other humans talents. Hes only got where he is after riding the talents of other more talented actors, such as Matt Lucas's Little Britain. Hes distinctly average, with unoriginal humour, an offensive gay/camp impersonator, a D-lebrity comedian at best.

So...can we just accept that Capaldi's regular clothing is what The Doctor wears?

[@SchlumberttheHumble]

That's why there's nobody listed in the Doctor Who credits for Costume Design.

[@chataclysm2112]

It's just a double breasted suit...

[@ninjadudeofficial]

He literally wore several shirts, t shirts and jumpers either based on his own wardrobe or taken straight from it. And several items including his usual navy trousers are Paul Smith, a brand he's been a fan of for at least a decade I'm assuming more

[@Tamashi88]

Apparently its a bit of a thing for the actors to at least influence the final costume. I think that Matt brought in the jacket with the patches and the first bowtie, Jodie either contributed to the costume or was basically given a closet to pick the final form out of, David if I remember correctly contributed the sandshoes or something. But yes, Peter's regular suit jacket and 12's suit jacket are exactly the same except 12's is frayed with age.

[@silviasanchez648]

Capaldi asked for something simple so fans could easily replicate it. Thankfully, production listened to him. There were other occasions where the actor playing The Doctor had one opinion and production just went ahead with whatever they wanted.

I have to wonder if Craig Ferguson, famously and fabulously an old friend of Peter's, didn't use that experience as an inspiration for his film The Big Tease (1999), about a Scottish hairdresser who gets invited to The Big Competition and has to struggle to get the money together and go.

At a certain point, Peter Capaldi realized that there was too much ragging on David Walliams for not having an Oscar, and even though Capaldi probably knew Hanks was (and is) a nice guy, he may have thought that Hanks' continued needling was too much, so he shifted to a self-deprecating story about himself, and shifted it again to pointing out Walliams' achievement for charity. In just a few words, Capaldi deftly managed to change the conversation, show his humility, and put the spotlight on someone else. To me that shows how much of a class act Capaldi is.
