Sex Education actor Ncuti Gatwa was revealed as Doctor Who's brand new Time Lord earlier this month in a shock announcement.
But the actor's Barbie co-star, Simu Liu, has revealed that the 29-year-old kept his casting a secret while filming the movie for two months.
It seems his cast mates - which includes co-stars Margot Robbie, Emma Mackey, and director Greta Gerwig, found out at the same time as everyone else.
Tight lipped: Ncuti Gatwa, 29, kept his Doctor Who casting a secret from friends and co-stars for two months, according to co-star Simu Liu (Ncuti pictured at the BAFTA TV Awards)
While on tour for his new book We Are Dreamers, Simu shared that Ncuti 'didn't tell anyone a thing, explaining: 'All of a sudden over the weekend he was announced.
'We came to work on Monday we were like "Dude, how long have you been holding this in for?"
Revealing that Ncuti replied 'two months', Simu jested that if it was him he 'would've combusted'.
Detailing the extent of the publicity following the news, the actor added: 'Ncuti had to get security in and around not only his place of residence, but the places of residence of his entire family.'
