One of my favorite Who facts is that in 1972 Capaldi wrote in and insisted he be made president of the official fan club, he was told no. It's hard to wrap my head around the idea of a 14 year old being so obsessed with a show doing that, only to go on and play the leading roll decades later.
In Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi’s Doctor keeps telling people to just call him “The Doctor.” This is a reference to him playing a WHO Doctor in World War Z. He doesn’t want people to get his roles confused.

I don’t think that’s shitty, that’s a detail I find interesting.

Only by one month though. Decent chance it's an intentional easter egg.

world war z actually filmed in 2011. it was pushed to 2012 for some reshoots, then to 2013 for tom cruise.

Yes but credits aren't written at film time, that happens near the end.
