Overview
Torchwood: Miracle Day star John Barrowman has said that he can't understand how television stars can complain about being famous.
Barrowman stars as Captain Jack Harkness in the long-running spin off of Doctor Who.
He told The Mirror: "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.
"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."
Torchwood: Miracle Day airs on BBC1 Thursday nights at 9.00pm.
