BBC Reporter Under Fire For Awkward Interview With Andrew Scott At BAFTAS

Andrew Scott

Celebrities doing red carpet interviews could be a hit or miss for the internet but BBC’s latest one towards ‘All Of Us Strangers’ actor Andrew Scott has been deemed “cringy” and “awkward” by many fans and for a good reason.

BBC’s Colin Paterson is currently under fire for his borderline homophobic questions towards the 47-year-old gay actor at the 77th British Academy Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards on February 19, Monday.

Paterson earned the ire of the internet when Paterson asked Scott if he knows fellow actor ‘Barry Keoghan’ who was nominated for the best supporting actor award for his role in the hit queer thriller movie ‘Saltburn.’

When Scott confirmed that he knew Keoghan, Paterson then asked him for his reaction to watching the ‘Saltburn’ actor naked in the iconic dance scene at the finale of the movie, which earned uncomfortable laughter from Scott before adding that he did not want to spoil it for people who had not seen it yet.

Paterson seemed unaware of Scott’s discomfort and opened the discussion about the alleged use of prosthetics for Keoghan, which led him to question “how well” the actor knew him. Scott ended up walking away, cutting the interview short.

People were quick to point out that it was borderline “homophobic” to ask a gay man about a fellow actor’s nude scene that is completely irrelevant to the film he participated in. Many pointed out that Scott should have been asked relevant questions about ‘All Of Us Strangers’ since the movie was nominated in many categories albeit Scott was notably “snubbed” of any nominations at the award show.

Neither Scott nor Paterson have addressed the criticism and comments as of this writing.
