David Tennant admitted that he faked a personal assistant so he didn’t have to go to events and honestly we can totally get it.
–
Channeling the introvert in all of us, the Doctor Who actor created the fictional assistant to answer some emails in the early stages of his stardom.
–
Some have accused Tennant of “making a Donald Trump” when the former US president did the same.
–
Only there is one Major difference – Trump claimed to be his own spokesperson to stand out, when Tennant’s reason was much more understandable.
–
The Scotland-born actor, who turned 50 today (April 18), told the Daily Record that he invented the AP when “people started to care that I was in the business. “.
–
He said, “For several years I needed a PA but I didn’t have a PA. I created a PA and gave it this absurd name of Mellissa von Stressel. “
–
Tennant revealed that Stressel – which has only ever existed in the digital world – was there as a “buffer for having awkward conversations that I didn’t want to have.”
–
“Melissa von Stressel took some of the stress. The clue was in the name, ”he added.
–
“People would come and ask me if I would give an inspiring speech. Would I come to open a party. I found it very difficult to say no to anyone.
–
“It was a way of communicating with people who wanted me to do things that I didn’t want to do, that I was going to do, give speeches.
–
“I have a terribly privileged life, so there is a feeling that you should be spending every waking minute opening parties, writing books, or giving inspirational ten-minute talks.
–
“I didn’t know where to start. I just pretend to be people on TV. “
–
And honestly, can anyone blame him? Of course, it’s fine to give back, but most of us struggle to maintain our own social schedules – we can only imagine what it must be like as an actor.
–
Elaborating on the story, he said: “It was no more than an email address and Melissa would politely but very firmly say that my schedule was busy.
–
“It worked like an instant rebuff. Unfortunately, Mr. Tennant is not available. “I didn’t have to get involved.
–
“If they tried to chat with Melissa, then I’m paranoid, I’ll find out.” I wasn’t very good as Melissa.
–
“When an email chain received 3 or 4 emails, I started to panic. Someone was so persistent, and in the end I gave in and did this thing.
–
“Then I had to talk to this person about how beautiful Melissa is. It was the beginning of the end for Melissa.
–
“She would get more and more cute, more and more strict and eventually if they didn’t give up, I would come visit their party. ”
