BBC Host Slammed as Homophobic for Asking Andrew Scott About ‘Saltburn’

A BBC reporter is getting blasted as homophobic for grilling Andrew Scott over Barry Keoghan‘s nude scene in “Saltburn” — questioning him on the BAFTA’s, of all locations.

BBC leisure correspondent Colin Paterson thought it was cool to ask Andrew — who’s homosexual — his response to Barry’s bare dance sequence in “Saltburn” — and you’ll see AS’s uncomfortable response within the clip, which is cringe-worthy, to say the least.

Scott laughs and shakes his head at first … making an attempt to navigate across the awkward query by saying he would not need to spoil the film for anybody who hasn’t seen it but. He does play alongside a little bit although, saying the scene was nice.

However, Colin stored pushing it … persevering with to say, “There was a lot of talk about prosthetics … how well do you know him?”

The insinuation behind the query proved an excessive amount of for Andrew, who shortly stepped out from the digicam shot … with CP lastly registering it was “too much.” It took him that lengthy to appreciate??!

CP’s interview with AS had folks fuming on-line, with one particular person writing on X: “This is frankly disgusting. Andrew Scott is there to support his multiple nominated film and THIS is what you ask? Then when he looks visibly uncomfortable the guy carried on. Truly horrid. #BAFTAs.”

One other wrote … “This is appalling: presenter Colin Paterson “interviewing” brilliant Andrew Scott, & asking about a fellow actor’s genitals (in a film Andrew is not even in). Because Andrew is also Irish, like Barry Keoghan? Because he’s gay? Baffling & insulting to both of these talented actors.”

The BBC has but to reply to the criticism … and Colin additionally hasn’t addressed his misstep.

As for Andrew, he clearly dealt with the off-guard second with grace … particularly contemplating he was there to advertise his film “All Of Us Strangers” … which sadly did not win any of the 6 noms it was up for.
