Out's Most Eligible Bachelors 2024: Ncuti Gatwa

Ncuti, we immediately saw and believed in your potential since the moment we were introduced to the hilarious and lovable Eric Effiong on Netflix’s Sex Education. And while we couldn’t predict how quickly you’d become the global superstar that you are now, all we have to say is: I know that’s right!

Ncuti Gatwa is a name that the entire world is now familiar with due to your breakout performances in projects like Sex Education, Barbie, Masters of the Air, and as the Fifteenth Doctor in the long-running Doctor Who franchise. It’s been thrilling to watch you not only elevate the confidence, talent, and star power that you bring to your craft, but also become more handsome and hunkier by the day.

So hmm, pardon our French, but can we talk really quickly about this body-ody-ody? We are officially crushing, and it’s all on you, babes. Doctor Who fans have a long history of developing a serious crush on the Doctors. But for us, we have to say that you might be the biggest one of all!

We were already celebrating every new life update and career opportunity that you’ve unlocked in the past few years, which included coming out as a queer man in 2023. As you continue on this Doctor Who journey and expand your horizons even further, we’re here to say that we’ve got nothing but love and support for you.
