What has Ben Miller said about his role as Professor T?
Professor T is a project of which Ben is incredibly proud. It's also a personal journey for the actor. Speaking on This Morning last month, the Bridgerton star told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about his own journey with OCD and why it made him want to take on the role.
"My symptoms, I guess you could say, are very different and sort of present in different ways to the professor, and I also had cognitive behavioural therapy to help me, I suppose you could say, ameliorate [them]," he explained.
"But it's become very liveable, and so for me, it's very emotional to play this character because he's completely unashamed. I was always very ashamed of my OCD, that's one of the reasons why I got the treatment, [Professor T] doesn't really care. He makes everyone else go along with every tiny detail of his regime."
