Andrew Scott appeared to walk away from a BBC News red carpet interview at the BAFTA Film Awards after being asked about Barry Keoghan’s Saltburn nude dance.
Scott was asked about his reaction to the scene by BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson. “I won’t spoil it for anyone. It’s great, it’s great,” Scott replied.
Paterson then invited Scott to “spoil away” and asked: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?” He waved away the question and motioned to move down the red carpet.
A clip of the exchange has been viewed more than 2M times on Twitter, now known as X. Paterson’s line of questioning to Scott, who is gay, was criticized by X users.
Line of Duty actor Craig Parkinson accused the BBC of “lazy and possibly offensive journalistic pit falls,” while former BBC entertainment commissioner Sohail Shah said it was cringeworthy.
