Doctor Who star Matt Smith is to play a gay writer in a new BBC2 TV show.
Smith, 27, who is currently starring in his first season as the famous Doctor, is to take on the role of Christopher Isherwood in a movie following his early life.
Isherwood wrote the novel A Single Man in 1964, which was recently turned into a movie by fashion designer Tom Ford and starred Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult.
The new show will be called Christopher And His Kind and will detail how Isherwood left England behind to live in Berlin.
A source told UK newspaper The Sun: ‘This is a world away from what Matt’s fans will expect. He’s really excited and can’t wait to get stuck in.’
