David Tennant is among a host of stars paying tribute to the beloved actor Sir Patrick Stewart ahead of his 80th birthday next week. David gave his contribution to The Guardian's celebration of Sir Patrick's acting career alongside a host of actors and creatives including Sir Ian McKellen, Ruper Goold, Harriet Walter and William Shatner.
David says of his Hamlet co-star:
"He is everything you’d imagine: generous, a real actors’
actor, loves being in a troupe of players and everything about the life of the
theatre… We all await his King Lear. Patrick still almost looks the same as in
that Hamlet I saw at school. He’s fit as a fiddle and so strapping! How many
80-year-olds are the lead in their own science fiction series? There’s
nothing of the “old man” about him. He’s very virile – I’m sure he wouldn’t
mind me saying that!"
