David Tennant

My real name is David McDonald, i was born in Paisley, Scotland. I attended Paisley Grammar school and then went to Glasgow's Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama where i met my best friend Louise Delamere. We shared a flat together in Glasgow for years. I had to change my name in order to join the actor's union as someone was already registered as David McDonald, so after reading an interview with the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant in Smash Hits magazine i chose Tennant as my name.
