reddit AMA: Jodie Whittaker

[The Nth Doctor]

I'm surprised no one posted this already, but apparently Jodie Whittaker did an Ask Me Anything on reddit today.

I expected this to be a hoax considering Jodie's not on social media at all, but the post links to the official Twitter account with her holding a sign about the AMA.

I haven't read much of it yet but it looks like it'll be a fun read.

 

[SolarisOne]

I was not expecting this.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I was not expecting this.

Yeah, neither was I!

My biggest takeaways:

• She would love to do an episode filmed in Japan. I hope this happens but I imagine it would be pretty expensive to go there.
• On what she wanted to bring to the role of The Doctor: "I wanted to bring a sense of childlike wonder and I really wanted to tap into that feeling I had as a kid when everything was a revelation and there was such joy in that. As you can older, you can often as a human get a bit jaded or a bit cynical and I wanted to tap into the youthfulness of myself and my personality and bring that to the preparation of playing the Doctor."
• She's a Converse fan.
• The entire crane sequence was filmed on real cranes with no CGI, but with wires for safety of course. "And yes. I was scared."
• She's a fan of dinosaurs and would love to do an episode with dinosaurs in a historical setting.
• Mumm-Ra from Thundercats is a favorite villain of hers.
• A favorite part from "The Women Who Fell" was a matter in the details: "It never fails to make me laugh when Karl announces that he doesn’t like heights. It’s such a brilliant characteristic to have for a crane driver. That’s what I love about this - you can have the beauty in the detail."
• Her favorite word is "Ace." She's just probably having a laugh at our expense, but you never know...
• On role models: "I think I’ve always been inspired by ordinary heroes. It doesn’t take fame and a public voice for me to find inspiration from people, but on a public platform, I’m continually in awe and inspired by Michelle Obama."
• She's pro pineapple on pizza (with rocket and chili oil).
• On her favorite place she filmed at: "South Africa. It was absolutely extraordinary. It wasn’t because the other locations weren’t as beautiful or as epic. There was just something so special about being in a terrain or an environment that was completely unfamiliar and awe-inspiring."

See I was a fan right up until that point. Now I realise that she's pure evil and must be exterminated at all costs!

Agreed. This abomination cannot stand.

I stand with Jodie. Come and get us.

 

[matthunter]

Yeah, everyone thought fish fingers and custard were gross until they tried 'em.

Brilliant!

I worked at Pizza Hut in my youth. I have tried ::shudder:: Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple does not belong on pizza. Frankly, it should be banned by the United Nations as a form of torture.

Jodie broke my heart by siding with pro pineapple on pizza.

Jodie Whittaker: History's Greatest Monster

 

[EnderAKH]

I am reasonably certain liking pineapple on pizza is a one way ticket to the Bad Place.

Well, it's posted by the official BBC America account, so that looks pretty legitimate.

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, the Twitter post was enough to convince me. I was just skeptical at first.

 

[Professor Zoom]

This. Pineapple and pepperoni is my jam. You will have to take it from my cold dead hand.

[sttngfan1701d]

Pineapple on pizza is awesome. I guess I'm on the TARDIS team now?

 

[Relayer1]

Agreed. This abomination cannot stand.

It is indeed an abomination.

God help me I've tried not to, but I like it...

 

[Turtletrekker]

It is indeed an abomination.

God help me I've tried not to, but I like it...

One of us. One of us. One of us.

 

[Australis]

I like pineapple on pizza. Come at me, bro.

 

[Mr Soak]

Pineapple on pizza, or it’s not a Hawaiian.
