Barrowman Praises “Torchwood” Job

Barrowman Praises “Torchwood” Job

August 11, 2011 By Michael Hickerson 2 Comments

As far as actor John Barrowman is concerned, he’s got one of the best jobs in the world.  He says playing Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood is a pleasure and added that he doesn’t understand why some celebrities complain about their fame.

“It annoys me when some moan about the fame that comes with being on TV. It’s the best job in the world and I love everything about it. I’m not ashamed of that. If being a celebrity comes with that, I’m totally up for that,” he tells the Mirror. “”My partner Scott [Gill] said to me one day, ‘What have you been up to?’. I replied, ‘Well it was fantastic, this morning I blew up a spaceship and fired a machine gun from a Land Rover as I drove across the beach chased by a helicopter. Then I went off and had sex with a 22-year-old. It’s a bit of a cliché but it really is the best job in the world.”
