Billie Hints at Who Movie?

Billie appeared on Radio 1 last week where she spoke to Sara Cox not only about the new series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, but her time as Rose Tyler too! During the interview she added yet more fuel to the fire regarding a possible Doctor Who film!
When asked if there was any truth behind the speculation, the actress, rather suprisingly, said: “Well, I’ve heard that they’re doing it and that they want David to do it, but I think he’s slightly anxious that there’ll be big American producers on board and that they’ll try and hijack the whole thing and cast someone like Johnny Depp.”
However, she cooly denied that she would be appearing in it herself, labelling her sudden outbreak of laughter as ‘a nervous twitch’, before insisting: “I don’t know!”
A movie has been on the cards for years now, however the rumours were rekindled last May when ‘DOCTOR WHO - THE MOVIE’ briefly appeared on the agency profile for Russell T Davies, and then, a week later, BBC Films announced that the script for a feature-length adventure was ’in development’. Does Billie know more than she’s letting on?

Billie talks marriage, motherhood and meeting Belle

As opening shots to interviews go, you don’t happen upon much jollier than Billie Piper’s. “Shall we get champagne?” she suggests. Why ever not! Within 15 minutes she’s downed a flute, accidentally knocked it over with the sleeve of her voluminous Topshop sweater dress, emptied a half-pint of fizzy water and filled it up with 50-quid-a-pop sparkle.

She looks stunning. At 26 and the mother of one-year-old Winston, she has grown into her big, gobstopper facial features and has shed all of her baby-weight. “It was literally just about going mental for six weeks,” she says, of her post-Winston eating regime. “I think I was quite lucky. I wasn’t massively healthy. I just ate loads of protein. It’s either that or speed pills, and the thing is you do actually have to sleep at some point. You’ve got to try and maintain a healthy marriage and I’m not sure that amphetamines are that conducive to a successful relationship.”

Billie Worried about Call Girl Taunts

The 27-year-old played high-class hooker Belle de Jour in Secret Diary Of A Call Girl.
Piper, who has a 15-month-old boy called Winston with her husband Laurence Fox, said motherhood had changed her attitude towards her work.
The former Doctor Who star said she was not sure that acting leads to a “wholesome family life”.
Piper started filming the ITV2 show in 2007 and a third series is about to air.
The actress told Radio Times: “I feel like there were the carefree, reckless years when all I had was a boyfriend and I wasn’t the face of a family.
“Now I’m a mum, and this time round there were definitely more moments when I questioned what I was doing, whereas before I didn’t really give a ****, it was just a role.”
“But now I had to go home and feed my son, and it’s a radical shift in your brain from being this provocative, man-eating person by day to this new mum at night.
“I’m all too aware that, one day, he’s probably going to be teased about it, tormented even. So there were these moments of: ‘Oh my God, what am I doing?”‘
Piper said she might one day prefer a future outside acting.
“I think that if I was to have more children and holding a family together, I would need to think about branching out into other areas, maybe producing or writing,” she said.
She also revealed her husband was “surprisingly relaxed” about her filming steamy scenes.
“It’s very different from who I am normally, that’s the thing. I don’t wear minuscule outfits. I’m a real cover-up tomboy,” she said.
“He knows that and he’s grown-up enough not to marry those two worlds and get confused by them.
“And it would be such crap to play a prostitute without getting your kit off, wouldn’t it?”

The Return of Belle

The Secret Diary of a Call Girl star talks sex scenes, motherhood and the new Doctor Who.

What’s in store in the new series of Secret Diary..?

“It’s quite radical. Belle’s now an author, and her editor Duncan, played by James D’Arcy, wants her to find more outrageous clients to fuel her writing. I couldn’t do sex scenes for the second series because I was pregnant, so I suppose I’m paying for it this time around.”

Is there any romance on the horizon?

“Her relationship with Duncan is weird and complex. He doesn’t judge her, he encourages her, and she finds that confusing. Apart from her friend Ben, he’s the only guy Belle can confide in.”

How did you feel about the real Belle, Brooke Magnanti, losing her anonymity last year?

“It must have been liberating to unburden herself of that secret, but also frightening because now people will recognise her as this woman who had sex with loads of men. It’s nice for me to share the load with someone though, because I feel I have become the face for prostitution.”

'My New Sex Scenes are so Naughty. I love it!'

The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl star, 27, on the new series of the show, how she’s loving being a mum, and losing that baby weight (amazingly quickly)…
Billie Piper has come a long way since those all-day benders with ex-hubby Chris Evans. Arriving for our interview today at London’s trendy Covent Garden Hotel, she is in high spirits and boasting that trademark wide-mouthed smile. She insists on playing hostess and pours drinks as we settle down on the sofa for a candid chat.
The mum – to 15-month-old Winston – looks incredible, dressed in a black figure-hugging jumper dress, leggings and high-heeled boots which show off the tiny pre-baby frame she regained in just six weeks.
There’s no denying Billie seems to have found what she was looking for on her rocky journey from wild child to wife and mother. She freely admits to a life lived in the fast lane. From finding fame as a teenage pop star, marrying Chris Evans (she was 19, he was 35), divorcing him, moving from pop music to acting after landing a role in Doctor Who, dating a man who loved ‘tantric sex’ then finding love with a fellow actor, Billie’s choice of career and men has sometimes courted controversy.

Billie: I'm A Selfish Person

Billie Piper suddenly walks into the office. The room is instantly the last word in glamour. The actress is dressed in full-on Belle de Jour mode for the latest series of her ITV2 drama series, Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Done up in her costume – a dazzling blue satin dress, vertiginous heels, high-class jewellery and war-paint make-up – she looks like she has already won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
And yet, despite being dressed to kill, the actress is very far from intimidating. Piper radiates warmth and wit – that, surely, is why at the age of just 27 she is one of our most in-demand actresses. Both men and women are drawn to that rare combination of attractiveness and accessibility. She is grounded girl next door and gorgeous sex symbol rolled into one.

Billie and Belle

As Billie Piper prepared for the launch of the third series of ITV’s Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, she was presented with an offer she couldn’t refuse… a chance to meet the real-life Belle Du Jour.
Dr Brooke Magnati, 34, is the high-class escort whose blog became the bestselling book on which the show is based.
As a forerunner to the series, the girls were brought together for a TV show entitled Billie And The Real Belle Bare All, with Billie, 27, cast in the role of interviewer.

Face to face: Belle de Jour Brooke Magnati and Billie Piper have a chat in ITV2 documentary Billie And The Real Belle Bare All!

Billie Piper: When did you decide to write a blog?
Belle de Jour: I had a funny experience and I thought, well, I’ll write about it and if anyone else wants to read it they might find it funny too. There are some people who do this job who are racked with guilt about what they’re doing. I’d say get out of it. No amount of money in the world is worth feeling that you’ve betrayed yourself. I didn’t feel that way.
The more I did it, the more I came to enjoy being good at it. It’s like that in a lot of jobs. You must feel, when you’ve absolutely nailed a scene, “That was great! I’ve done it.”

Billie Reveals All About Nude Scenes

Actress Billie Piper has admitted she can’t bear to watch her raunchy scenes in The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl with her actor husband Laurence Fox.
Speaking to Closer Magazine, the former teen pop star said: “I don’t stop him, but we don’t watch it together – that would just be weird,”
“I wouldn’t watch it with my dad or brother, either. I have selective memory loss when it’s on!”
Billie, who plays upmarket prostitute Belle in the ITV2 show, also says she sometimes cringes at her character’s saucy antics in the latest series.
“My most embarrassing scene? Being done from behind while I was pretending to be all sorts of farmyard animals,”
“I was a chicken… and I had to bleat like a ewe. It makes me sweat just thinking about it!”
The 27-year-old added: “It was weird going home and having to sing Old MacDonald and read books about farmyard animals to my son!”
The new series of the show that’s based on the blog of real-life call girl “Belle de Jour”, also sees Billie’s character have sex with baked beans, bizarre fetish fantasies and kinky role play.
“I’m paying for the fact that I was pregnant during the last series and couldn’t film much sex,” she said.
“There’s loads in this one! Belle’s a published author now, and as she’s writing her second book she needs new material, so her adventures get more obscure.
“There’s a weird and wonderful world out there, and I’ve learnt a lot. I feel quite jaded!”
Billie says stripping for the camera doesn’t get any easier. “I still get nervous, but everyone on set handles it really well,” she says. “We all get smutty, giggle and crack inappropriate jokes, which stops it feeling too intense.”
Having given birth to her first child, Winston just five months before filming, Billie admits she was under pressure to lose weight. She says: “I was contractually obliged to get back in shape and knew I couldn’t play the part while lactating! “But I didn’t want to sacrifice my son’s health and go: ‘I know you’re only two months old, but I’m stopping feeding you and going on a seven-mile run now.’ So I breast-fed as long as I could, then decided to lose the weight quickly by going running and eating less.”
She also revealed that the third series may mark the end of Belle’s TV adventures. “I feel I’ve already worked during too much of my son’s babyhood – I think it might be time to relax with him this year,” she says. “I don’t want to be an absent figure in his life.”

Billie De Jour

Billie Piper has played prostitute Belle De Jour in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and the lead in Kay Mellor's A Passionate Woman, so she is no stranger to steamy parts. The modern-day Moll Flanders reveals all in this candid interview:

The first time I met Billie Piper, I was left feeling that I owed her an apology. She was heavily pregnant at the time, by husband, actor Laurence Fox, we got chatting about her birth options and I was perhaps a little too candid about what scenarios she might encounter, resulting in my glancing up at one point to be met with her huge caramel eyes, wide with trepidation.
Very bad form on my part: it really isn't on to scare first-time mums-to-be. What made it worse was that Piper had been great company – bright, open, witty, with a well-developed sense of the absurd – whether talking about her recent marriage to Fox, her first one to Chris Evans, her teenage pop career, playing Rose in Doctor Who, or the furore over her role as Belle de Jour in Secret Diary of a Call Girl. In the end, the guilt got too much and I sent an apology via her publicist. In October 2008, Piper had her baby, Winston James, after a 26-hour labour, followed by an emergency Caesarean. It all sounds pretty gruelling. "When the contractions first started I laughed, because I couldn't believe how painful it was," says Piper when we meet again, at the Observer photo shoot. "But we stopped off at Starbucks on the way to the hospital for a triple shot and a muffin before it all kicked off."
She is full-on glamorous, in a slinky dress, when I first see her having her photograph taken, and afterwards Piper, 27, changes into jeans and a zipped top. Petite, hair swept back from tawny skin, she looks both chic and staggeringly young and vulnerable.
