Actor David Tennant, known for his work in ‘Rivals’, revealed that he has been consumed by feelings of guilt for most of his life. He confessed to being conflict-averse and constantly frets about his actions and behavior, attributing these emotions to his upbringing in Scotland.
Tennant candidly shared that his guilt encompasses everything, influenced by his Scottish Presbyterian background. He expressed concerns about not doing the right thing, not behaving appropriately, or not being as kind as he should have been. These sentiments have even influenced his portrayal of characters lacking a strong moral compass, such as Tony Badingham in the popular Disney Plus series ‘Rivals’.
According to reports, Tennant finds it intriguing to play characters with contrasting moral values since he personally struggles with guilt and conflict avoidance. Despite his own moral compass, he enjoys delving into the minds of characters like Tony Badingham, exploring a world where morality is not a concern. Tennant also discussed the pleasure he finds in embodying such characters and the escapism it offers.
David Tennant had previously discussed the provocative nature of his character in ‘Rivals’ as the second part of season two is set to premiere soon.
