Interstellar won countless accolades in the months after its release, including an Oscar, a BAFTA, and several Saturn Awards.

But one accolade Warner Bros. probably isn't too happy about is the not-so-sought-after "Most Pirated Movie Of The Year" award, which Interstellar bagged in 2015.

Reportedly, the sci-fi flick was illegally downloaded over 46 million times, beating out the likes of Furious 7, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and Jurassic World.

PSA: please pay for your movies, folks.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
