David Tennant Says ‘Villain’ Donald Trump’s Name Three Times in BAFTAs Monologue: ‘It’s Like Beetlejuice — I’ve Summoned Him’

David Tennant took to the podium as the BAFTA Film Awards host for a second time on Sunday night — and called out U.S. President Donald Trump.

The “Doctor Who” star, who also hosted last year’s ceremony, opened with a performance of the Proclaimers’ hit “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” getting members of the audience — including James McAvoy, Anna Kendrick and Colman Domingo join in.

Tennant then took aim at Trump in his monologue, describing “The Brutalist” as “a film about incredible architecture. In fact, it’s the boldest architecture in film this year, apart from Donald Trump’s hair in ‘The Apprentice.’”
