Peter Capaldi (born 14 April 1958) is a Scottish actor, director, and writer revered for his sharp wit, commanding presence, and chameleonic range across stage and screen. He gained early acclaim with an Academy Award for his short film Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life, but truly became a household name as the acerbic Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It, a role that showcased his razor-sharp comedic timing and fiery intensity. International audiences later embraced him as the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who, where he brought gravitas, eccentricity, and a darker emotional depth to the iconic role.

Capaldi’s personal style is a blend of sharp tailoring and rebellious flair—think slim-cut suits, crisp shirts, and a subtle touch of rock’n’roll. His eyewear leans classic with a cerebral twist: tortoiseshell or matte black acetate frames, rounded or softly squared, often with a vintage, almost professorial air. He favours understated, design-forward brands like Ray-Ban, Cutler and Gross, or American Optical. Whether on screen or striding into a London premiere, Peter Capaldi’s sunglasses echo the man himself—intelligent, enigmatic, and effortlessly cool, with just the right glint of mischief.
