Karen Gillan Talks GOTG2 Haircut, Willingness To Return To Doctor Who

When superstar actress Karen Gillan isn't drinking at the pub with Rich Johnston or writing her hit Avatar comic book about a Nazi car service app, Uber, she's busy starring in blockbuster films such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. For the former, like the first Guardians of the Galaxy, Gillan was forced to get a haircut for her role as Nebula. Reprising that role in the sequel, however, Gillan didn't need to go full baldy, to her relief.

"I shaved half of my head this time, but they took away the butt — like, the underneath-half of my hair, and then left the top part," Gillan revealed in an interview with The Wrap. "That was the best gift ever."

But that wasn't the only totally newsworthy soundbite to come out of the interview. Gillan was also asked if she would return to Doctor Who if the show's producers wanted her to, to which she replied, "If they ask me, I would be back there in a shot, but I think I'm more excited about seeing Pearl take over as companion, because she was amazing."

Asked how she knows new Doctor Who companion Pearl Mackie "was amazing" in the role when the new episodes haven't aired yet, Gillan explained that the answer was "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey." Well, that's good enough for us!
