JB in SoCal

Posted: 22 May 2008 05:05 PM CDT

This week John Barrowman made a quick unpublicized trip to Southern California. He came primarily to take part in a study at the Center for Gender Based Biology at UCLA.

The research was filmed by the BBC for an upcoming documentary themed around the scientific search for what makes people Gay. In the documentary, JB has his DNA examined and is also observed in an MRI machine whilst looking at naked pictures of both sexes.

The BBC also reportedly set up a meeting for him with his first high-school girlfriend and lets us eavesdrop as they catch up on old times. JB should be back in London by now, just in time to knock out another Nancy. You can look forward to the 3-part documentary in August or later.

Derren caught David unawares in his makeup van on a Doctor Who location...
