The BAFTA Film Awards 2025’s host David Tennant has mocked the next US president Donald Trump in his opening monologue for the ceremony on Sunday evening (16th February).
The Doctor Who star returned to host the awards for the second year running, taking to the stage to The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
He sang “walked 500 miles just to host one BAFTAs more” and immediately touched on some controversial topics as he launched into his opening spiel.
Following Trump’s divisive re-election in November 2024, Tennant slammed the president to a room full of Hollywood stars and British A-listers.
Referring to the biographical film based on Trump’s life, The Apprentice, which stars Sebastian Stan as the real estate mogul, he quipped it’s unlikely the president had seen it.
“It’s a 15 and it’s not on Nickelodeon,” Tennant jibed, per Deadline, sparking laughter from the audience.
He then continued, “Talking of villains”, though paused for a moment as the crowd continued to laugh. “We’ve got many this year, not just Nosferatu.”
