Ncuti Gatwa is under the brightest limelight because of his casting as the new Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a show about an extraterrestrial being, who is traveling for 2000 years! He goes around the universe in his famous spaceship TARDIS. He helps people in need, prevents tragedies from happening, and combats the enemies. Before he became the doctor, Gatwa was part of another Netflix show.

Ncuti Gatwa rose to fame with his remarkable performance in Netflix’s Sex Education. Despite the new series, he seems to be in touch with his co-stars from the teen series. In a recent video, Ncuti is attempting to flirt with his co-star from the show, Emma Mackey.

Ncuti as Eric Effiong was instantly loved as a character because of his acting skills and the eye-catching flamboyance that defined his fashion. Eric was nasty with jokes but extremely vulnerable at heart, which made it impossible for the fans to not like him. Eric’s casual banter is visible in Ncuti’s flirting style. While it’s hard to know if Ncuti is just joking or being serious in the video, he surely knows how to flirt.

In the video, Ncuti asks, “Do you like water?” Emma says, “Yeah“. He says, “that means you like 70% of me already.”

Fans got a glimpse at Emma’s quick-wittedness as she stunned Ncuti by saying, “50 points” and totally graded Ncuti’s flirting attempt.
