John Barrowman put his dick on co-star's shoulder

John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness has (had?) been my all-time favourite Doctor Who character. I knew JB has a history of indecently exposing himself on set multiple times, but today I learned that he not only exposed his dick repeatedly but also non-consensually touched fellow actors with it -- like Camille Coduri (who played Rose Tyler's mum)!

AIBU to think that he got away with this only because he is gay? If he had been straight, wouldn't non-consensually putting his dick on his female co-star's body from behind have landed him loads of trouble already? I was utterly shocked to watch the video -- I don't know how I should be feeling after learning that my favourite Doctor Who actor behaved in this despicable manner. Shock

Goodness, this is absolutely disgusting and uncalled for. What a pervert! I think I'm going to need serious counselling on how to teach my mind to disentangle the image of John Barrowman the arch-pervert from the lovable character of Captain Jack Harkness. I will need to convince myself that the Captain Jack on screen is only a fictional character, with no relation to a certain sick, criminal, power-hungry psycho in real life called JB!

@FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop sorry, you are right no one should see that without a warning.

RampantIvy · 10/05/2021 20:39

What a puerile idiot. I used to like him when he was in Torchwood. This thread has competely put me off him. Yuck.

A mum complained about Barrowman in a panto for kids 2017

“ She also said it was inappropriate for Barrowman to be fondling Jimmy Krankie's breasts - played by the wife of the comedy duo Janette Tough - and even stranger when Jimmy put his hand down his shorts, stuck his finger through the front and waved it around.”

I'm assuming it wasn't a matinée, that would be even worse!
I've been to a panto with the Krankies before and it was full of innuendo.

I learnt today,on a completely unrelated thread, that flopping your cock out was a kind of phillia, a bedfellow of many other sexually deviant practices. It made me even more uncomfortable that it had been allowed to continue.

queenofkale · 10/05/2021 22:35

Sadly I knew about this years ago - I wasn't there when it happened but it was the talk of tv at the time me and lots of others were shocked and quietly appalled by his behaviour. But very junior and therefore kept my shock to myself.

GrimDamnFanjo · 11/05/2021 00:15

I understand that Chris Evans has a similar inability to keep himself covered up...

Blacktothepink · 11/05/2021 00:21

Omg...that video of JB tumbling down the corridor with his arse out 😵😵😵 I need brain bleach 🤮

Jaw dropped in horror, words fail me at that video just why?

TheQueef · 11/05/2021 14:08

I could easily believe it about Chris Evans, Billie and the sportscars..... NTM the creeps.

Star555 · 11/05/2021 15:43

There really should be a petition calling for JB to be stripped of his MBE on the grounds of his repeated, abominable, criminal conduct (yes it is illegal to expose one's genitals in public). Can someone who is in the UK please start one here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/check

@SD1978

I don't think you can excuse it by saying she doesn't sound bothered. The simple fact is she at no time consented to a penis on her shoulder, asked for it, or encouraged it. It simply shouldn't have ever been there. In an industry where you're not 'the star' being forced to accept that kind of behaviour is reported as not uncommon. His sexuality does not make it ok. It's still an abuse of power, regardless of what sex you are attracted to.
NO man should do this. Even if after the fact she said (and was 100% truthful) she didn't mind - he had no way of knowing whether or not that was the case before he did it.

It's horribly oppressive and rapey.

Meltinthemiddle · 12/05/2021 09:59

I'm not disgusted by a bit of bum flashing and those rolls were pretty impressive! But if he flopped his penis out on my shoulder I would be pissed and even more annoyed if it was in my place of work! I would imagine he's pretty annoying and has alot of energy to burn!

I wouldn't pick on John Barrowman particularly. Unfortunately, it's a very common 'prank' in the industry; a petition like that would cause a lot of people to feel hot under the collar and try to fade into the woodwork for a while. We could end up with a new name in the tabloid headlines every day for months :-).

Childish.

MyOtherProfile · 12/05/2021 13:20

@Maggiesfarm so best to ignore it then if there are other slebs doing it. We don't want to get them hot under the collar now, do we?

CandyLeBonBon · 12/05/2021 13:36

Good. Maybe that might help the people who think about flopping their cocks out with impunity to think twice before they do, and learn to keep it nicely tucked away in their pants, where it belongs!
