"Doctor Who" Star Comes From Elvis Fan Family

September 05, 2012

The BBC's "Doctor Who" star Karen Gillan declared she is an Elvis fan and wants to make her father's lifetime dream come true. In a recent article with Daily Record, Gillan talked about being raised as an Elvis fan and why she's helping her father record his own album.

“I am a massive Elvis fan. I grew up listening to him because my dad is obsessed with music," said Gillan. "He knows everything about Elvis and would tell me all these stories about him. He just loves talking about it, so now I know all about the king’s life.”

According to Daily Record, Karen, who recently filmed her last scenes as Amy Pond in the BBC sci-fi series, wanted to help fulfil her dad’s ambition to thank him for supporting her career.

“I got it as a Father’s Day present. I’m thinking of doing a duet with him but he’s far better than me.”
