A BBC reporter has come beneath fireplace for an ungainly interview with Irish actor Andrew Scott that sparked outrage, RadarOnline.com has realized.
Scott regarded uneasy throughout his chat with leisure correspondent Colin Paterson on the BAFTA Movie Awards after being pressed about his ideas on Barry Keoghan‘s risque dance scene within the critically acclaimed flick Saltburn.
Paterson started his cringe-worthy line of questioning by asking if the brazenly homosexual All Of Us Strangers star is aware of Keoghan, to which the actor confirmed he did with a smile.
“OK, your response whenever you first noticed the bare dance scene on the finish of Saltburn,” Paterson stated whereas one other individual off-camera chimed in, “No spoilers please.”
Scott appeared flustered and laughed it off earlier than stating that he did not need to “spoil it for anyone,” including, “It was nice.”
Regardless of the actor trying eager to modify subjects, Paterson continued to grill him in regards to the famed scene when Keoghan danced within the buff to Homicide on the Dancefloor.
“There was lots of speak about prosthetics … how effectively have you learnt him?” the reporter continued as Scott began to stroll off. “An excessive amount of? An excessive amount of?” the interviewer requested.
Critics have been fast to lambaste Paterson for not studying the room or praising the star’s accomplishments as a substitute of grilling him about Saltburn.
“That is frankly disgusting. Andrew Scott is there to help his a number of nominated movie and THIS is what you ask? Then when he seems visibly uncomfortable the man carried on. Really horrid,” one wrote.
“That is appalling: presenter Colin Paterson ‘interviewing’ good Andrew Scott, and asking a few fellow actor’s genitals (in a movie Andrew will not be even in). As a result of Andrew can be Irish, like Barry Keoghan? As a result of he is homosexual? Baffling & insulting to each of those gifted actors,” one other vented on X, previously Twitter.
“I do know Andrew Scott doesn’t have social media however for those who one way or the other see this, all of us love you,” a 3rd wrote. “That is truly dreadful. And you’ll wager that this might not have been requested if Andrew wasn’t homosexual. This isn’t merely awful journalism; it is usually apparent homophobia,” a fourth declared.
