Or perhaps they saw him as Claude the invisible man ([[ObligatoryJoke or didn't see him]]) in ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.

Despite his tough-guy image, Eccleston is known to be [[MeanCharacterNiceActor quite humble and easy-going]], with a dry wit, and often cracking self-deprecating jokes. In 2019 he released his autobiography, detailing how he cared for his father (who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease), and his own struggles with anorexia and depression. Much like another [[Creator/TomBaker actor who played the Doctor and struggled with mental illness]], Eccleston has a huge [[FriendToAllChildren soft spot for his young fans]], and numerous anecdotes attest that he is ''always'' on his best behavior with them.
