John Barrowman of Torchwood Is Totes Adorbs

Yes, I just said that John Barrowman of Torchwood is totes adorbs. In fact, him and his partner Scott Gill are so cute that I don’t feel guilty for using the expression “totes aborbs”. Not only do they have a cardboard cutout of Taylor Lautner (which may or may not be a little creepy), but they also seem like the perfect gay couple.

Just take this quote from an interview for instance, in which Barrowman describes their sail boat: “The two halves of the boat signify me and Scott. I’m the bit at the top of the sail boat, the bit that bounces over the water. And Scott’s the bottom of the boat, the part that keeps us afloat.”

Isn’t that so romantic? Not that there’s any sexual subtext or anything. Whatever the case may be, this interview makes me want to embrace my geeky side and start watching Torchwood. Do we have any fans of the show in the house?

To read a few more quotes and check out pictures of the couple, follow the JUMP:

HOW DID YOU COME OUT?

John: I was being interviewed and I mentioned Scott. The interviewer said, “You do realize you just came out.” I said: “Pur-lease. I’m in my late twenties. I’ve got three dogs that are better groomed than humans, I live with a man, I wear nice clothes and I’m in musical theatre. Did you really think I was trying to live a lie?”

SO DO YOU HAVE A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP?

Scott: Who does?
John: We argue, but I try not to go to bed angry. He can go to bed angry.

IF YOU WERE INVISIBLE FOR A DAY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

John: I would go to the Scottish Rugby League team’s locker room and I would sit in there and watch them all.
Scott: I would be right there with you.
John: I told their PR person that I would support them as long as I get to go to the locker room and sit in the Jacuzzi with them!

Wait, and who’s the bottom again?

  1. I watched all three seasons in one sitting. Torchwood is great entertainment and was capable of bringing me to tears by the end.

  2. I cannot wait for the 4th season of TOrchwood! I am just hoping bringing it to America will not water it down and ruin it.

  3. It’s so funny with Barrowman. When he’s over here he adopts his American accent, but if you get him over there with his folks, he’s got this very pronounced Scottish accent. There is the difference with British and American viewers. Everyone knows he’s gay and married to his partner, but over there he is one of the most popular British actors there is. I mean really, really popular. They’re very fond of him over there. The fact that he’s gay is immaterial. Considering the blind item story, let’s hope that if and when that happens (and it may just be false) that he gets the same kind of response over here as barrowman does over there, which is who cares, he’s incredibly talented and easy on the eyes.

  4. john barrowman is adorable, he could do banking commercials and i would watch. the fact that he is married to scott & has written openly about it, shows you he is the ‘real deal’. he did a special about being gay, and his family is 100% behind him and he supports them. if we(the us) had less of an appitetie for gossip, and what is ‘considered’ manly maybe we too could have more out actors. i mean englad did not fall apart because of gay marriage, and thier collective history is longer and includes the United States. did america exist in 1006? no britain did

  5. I love Barrowman and Torchwood, and he was the most fun partner The Doctor ever had (well, maybe with the exception of River Song, but let’s not get into that). I think it is so cool how these two are so nonchalant about their sexuality. Shining examples, the both of them. (PS, I freaking NEED that Dalek in my life!)

  6. Not a big fan of Torchwood though I’m a total Doctor Who Fan 😀 Our dear Mr.Barrowman once referred to David Tennant as David Ten-Inch 😛

  7. Have always said, “the jack russel was the gay dog.” They look like gymbunnys in tight T-Shirts.

  8. For all the Torchwood fans, they’re releasing a comic series (with variant covers, one of which is a photo of John as Captain Jack. Yummers).

    And John kissing James Marsters = delicious. Phorarrrrr.

  9. i really loved torchwood, but it was crazy sad. and you guys keep refering to 3 seasons of the show, is the mini series counting as a complete season? i know there were the two series and then the mini series, “children of earth”, but did i miss something? and john barrowman is adorable, but his booty looks kinda sad in that pic

  10. torchwood was brilliant… and John Barrowman is just plain hot. Thanks for making my night, I had no idea that Torchwood was coming back, I can’t wait for series 4! (And yes I know that ‘Children of Earth’ was technically a mini-series but it sort-of counts as season three)… Shame Ianto won’t be back, he was hot and watching him and Jack make out certainly made watching the show even easier!

  11. Torchwood was a great series, namely with the interactions between Ianto Jones and Jack Harkness. Admittedly, there’s a great deal of sexual references, but hey. It’s a great sci-fi show to watch when you get the chance.

  12. Season 4 is going to be awesome (I hope). Season 3 was a tough ride for me, I cried like a baby. My boyfriend and I are eagerly anticipating it!

    We also watched the documentary where John tried to find out why he’s gay. Its pretty interesting and he is so nonchalant about his sexuality. He’s so comfortable.

  13. I had the opportunity to work with John on a short lived show called Cantral Park West. He was super nice and fun to be around on set and is still sexier than ever. John & Justin Lazard plus Tom Verico were the hottest studs, but were down to earth.

  14. He was hoping to do some more with Doctor Who. Then again, who wouldn’t with Matt Smith as the new doctor?

    ‘Actor’ is a little misleading; Barrowman acts both on screen and stage, sings, writes, and quite likely does stand-up comedy.
