• Andrew Scott is a celebrate British actor
  • He had an awkward interview at the BAFTA Awards
  • Fans have come to his defense

The 'Fleabag' star's poise amidst awkward red carpet moments shines a light on the pitfalls of viral interview tactics. Lights, camera, awkwardness! Andrew Scott, the Irish heartthrob known for his electrifying performance in "Fleabag," found himself in a red carpet pickle at the recent Baftas.

He handled it very well

The star, who's been turning heads with his role in 'All of Us Strangers,' was hit with a curveball question by none other than a BBC reporter, Colin Paterson.

Fans are up in arms, and Twitter is ablaze with support for Scott after Paterson's probing about a "naked dance scene" involving actor Barry Keoghan. "I won't spoil it for anybody," Scott stammered, visibly shaken by the turn the interview had taken.

The quest for a viral moment can lead to some cringe-worthy exchanges. "This is frankly disgusting," tweeted one viewer, echoing the sentiments of many who found the reporter's persistence distasteful. Social media has indeed changed the game, with the red carpet becoming a battleground for clicks and shares.

In a similar vein, 'The Bear' star Ayo Edebiri was cornered for comments on Jeremy Allen White's underwear campaign. Her classy response? "He's my co-worker." A reminder that sometimes, the line between personal and professional should remain uncrossed.
