Join David Tennant for a hilarious night at the BAFTAs where he roasted Donald Trump and accidentally introduced Adam Scott with style!

David Tennant, the Scottish star known for his iconic role in Doctor Who, took to the stage once again to host the BAFTA Film Awards, delivering a performance that was equal parts entertaining and poignant. With a cheeky glimmer in his eye, he kicked off the evening with a lively musical number, serenading the audience with the classic tune "500 Miles." His energy was infectious, setting a joyful tone for the night ahead and proving once more why he’s the perfect choice to steer the prestigious event.

In a memorable moment, Tennant didn’t hold back as he humorously took aim at former President Donald Trump, drawing laughs and rounds of applause from the audience. He cheekily compared Trump to the infamous movie character Beetlejuice, implying that like the ghostly figure, Trump seems to pop up at the most inconvenient times. With lines that showcased his comedic prowess while still being lightly provocative, Tennant managed to weave in topical humour that felt entirely appropriate for the occasion.

The night wasn’t without its hiccups, either. During the introduction of actor Adam Scott, Tennant experienced a brief verbal stumble that added an endearing touch to the evening. But rather than fazed, he laughed it off with the charm that endeared him to the audience. His wife, Georgia, later commented on his "anxiety" before stepping on stage, showcasing their cute dynamic and how even stars like Tennant have their moments of uncertainty.

As the night progressed, the evening shimmered with both laughter and a touch of nostalgia. The star-studded event, with appearances from legends like Dame Judi Dench, brought together the brightest talents in film, celebrating creativity and the collective joy of storytelling.

Did you know that Tennant has been acting since the tender age of 16? His career spans over three decades, making him one of the most versatile actors in contemporary British cinema. And here's a quirky fact: he once revealed he has a rare condition which has caused him to have a 'sixth toe' on his right foot, much to the amusement of his fans!
