He was awesome in Torchwood.

1vandal2 · 16/12/2019 19:31

He also plays Malcolm Merlin on Arrow as a villain. Excellent acting and totally unlike the Jack Harkness most people know him for.

dudsville · 16/12/2019 19:36

Wasn't he also in Dr Who? Loved him in that.

Queequeg07 · 16/12/2019 20:43

He is one of the nicest down to earth people you could ever hope to meet. Totally unpretentious in real life and a genuinely decent person. A relative of mine is his next door neighbour in Wales.

I have met him when he popped over for a couple of hours and he didn't hog the conversation like you would expect a celebrity to do but just quietly listened and chatted.

AmIthechristmasfairy · 16/12/2019 20:47

He's lovely, very entertaining and also well known

Bit of an odd reaction from the OP

I actually love him. I'm surprised by the comments about "don't you know who I am"? He doesn't strike me as the type. I'm still not put off though 💓😁

CoolCarrie · 17/12/2019 22:12

I love him, he is very funny and warm. He can definitely sing, but not Christmas songs it seems.

bigbubbles · 17/12/2019 22:32

He travels with his own pillow when flying.

I volunteer with someone who is a massive John Barrowman fan. On Monday she was playing his new Christmas cd in the shop.

And I thought Michael ball was bad.

DianaT1969 · 17/12/2019 22:35

I have seen him live in concert and he can definitely sing. Met him briefly at a party. I know someone who worked with him until recently and he is very career driven, family oriented (takes his Scottish parents around the world with him whenever they want to travel) and he LOVES his dogs. He commands the room, but is very warm and seems to get a real kick out of life.

How very sensible Smile

I don't care if his hands are too jazzy, he's just so larger-than-life and entertaining. I think he's lovely.

Skinnychip · 17/12/2019 22:39

Fab-u- lous with jazz hands

Mrsjayy · 17/12/2019 22:40

Ive seen him in concert twice it is a hoot a camptastic night out i see him in Scotland so he brings out his scottish accent his mum and dad and there is usually a row of cousins , but he was horrific on this morning I have no idea why he was so bad.

Mrsjayy · 17/12/2019 22:42

Last concert his mum sang the whole place was sobbing

DianaT1969 · 17/12/2019 22:49

Perhaps he had technical problems this morning with the mic in his ear because can really sing.
I think the world could do with more jazz hands and more camp.

Mrsjayy · 17/12/2019 22:51

He was very shouty but tbf he only had Eamoln and Ruth as an audience Grin

Dontsayyouloveme · 17/12/2019 22:51

It’s just the daft 🙌🏻 “Fabulous’ 🙌🏻 saying that gets on my tits.

Did we find out what happened to his neck?

Mrsjayy · 17/12/2019 22:55

Yes he was on Sunday Brunch telling Tim and Simon he hurt it doing a... DEATH DROP ! ShockGrin

ACautionaryTale · 17/12/2019 22:57

He went up in my estimation several years ago.

Radio 5 had a phone in about Gay marriage - there were several anti callers.

Next this caller phoned in and broke down every single on of their arguments. Callers name was given as Tim or Tom or something.

It was only at the end that he said he was actually John Barrowman (at that point I recognised his voice) and he didn't want to say it was him as the arguments were as valid whether it was him or John next door.

Dontsayyouloveme · 17/12/2019 22:58

Mrsjayy

Oh, ok 🤔🧐🙄

chomalungma · 17/12/2019 23:05

John Barrowman is great.

That's all.

I am what I am...

CoolCarrie · 17/12/2019 23:25

Take a look at him singing Maria from West Side Story , it’s on YouTube it’s beautiful!

User12879923378 · 18/12/2019 00:26

I saw him in loads of West End musicals! I had a massive crush on him. He was absolutely gorgeous and so lovely to trembling 15 year olds waving programmes and pens at him at the stage door.
