The Tennants

[lankeela]

Are Neil Tennnant and David Tennant related?

[flipnflap]

only in as much as one secretly gives Kylie one and the other openly worships Kylie

[lankeela]

I know they both have Scottish accents, and when I saw them on Heroes of Comedy the other night it got me wondering......

[delboy3]

David Tennant's real name is David McDonald

[lankeela]

Ah, so is he related to Ronald?

[delboy3]

No - Trevor

[lankeela]

Brilliant. Can't stop laughing.

[THECORBYLOON]

Are you serious, Neil Tennant a Scots accent? He is English, born somewhere in the Newcastle area.

[lankeela]

Well its north of Watford Gap.

[ELVIS68]

They have a cousin who is an actor but he has a drink problem and only gets non speaking roles.....

Tennants Extra

[lankeela]

I think I saw him in Eastenders playing a can of lager.

[ELVIS68]

No that was Max......... he`s a can of Pepsi

[tonymclark]

David took the surname Tennant from Pet Shop Boys' Neil, but as delboy says, David's real surname is McDonald.
He couldn't use that name as there had already been an actor called David McDonald.

[lankeela]

So did they take their name from David McDonald? Or Ronald? Or Trevor? Or Steve?

[tennantmania]

Ronald Mcdonald .....genious!!

Yeah David's name is really Mcdonald
.Apparantly,he "stole" the name from Neil after looking in a Smash Hits magazine......
Sorry am a huge David fan!!! im showing my geek side!
