He played a character on a TV show 20 years ago. That doesn't in any way obligate him to "show up as the Doctor" for fan events, nor does it indicate his "dislike for the show".
There is certainly a twat at play here, but it isn't Eccleston.
He was like that even while playing the role, he's been a twat for all 20 of those years. He refused to take part in the anniversary specials, he was a dickhead when he was on set according to people who worked with him. He's always been a prick of an actor.
You'll find the general opinion of Eccleston runs contrary to yours, and manages to do so without the pottymouth.
Oh no, not pottymouth on the internet...
Grow up.
