During an interview at the BAFTA’s, BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson questioned Scott about Barry Keoghan’s naked dance sequence in “Saltburn,” leading to an uncomfortable exchange.

Uncomfortable Questioning

Scott, who is openly gay, appeared visibly uncomfortable as Paterson pressed him about the scene. Despite Scott’s attempts to navigate the awkward line of questioning, Paterson continued to push the issue, even making insinuations about prosthetics and personal relationships.

Backlash and Criticism

The interview sparked outrage online, with many condemning Paterson’s line of questioning as disrespectful and inappropriate. People expressed their support for Scott and criticized the BBC correspondent for his handling of the interview.

Response and Aftermath

As of now, the BBC has not addressed the criticism, and Paterson has not commented on the incident. Despite the uncomfortable questioning, Scott handled the situation with grace, maintaining his composure while promoting his film “All Of Us Strangers” at the event.
