At the 2021 BAFTA Awards, David Tennant, known for his iconic role as Doctor Who, appeared to fall victim to Trump Criticism Syndrome. This actor, who has recently shown a more political side, seized the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks about the U.S. President during his opening speech.
Tenant’s humor attempts failed because he used old jokes about Trump’s hair and childish comparisons to villains. He said, “Let’s give a big round of applause for ‘The Brutalist’,” and then joked, “A movie about outstanding architecture, it’s the most daring architecture in this year’s films, except for Donald Trump’s hair in The Apprentice.
The actor’s fixation on Trump persisted as he frequently mentioned the President’s name, making an awkward reference to Beetlejuice in a failed bid for humor. “Donald Trump… I’m concerned, I’ve said his name three times, it’s like summoning Beetlejuice,” Tennant joked, followed by, “Speaking of antagonists, we’ve had quite a few this year, not just Nosferatu.
On previous occasions, Tennant has utilized his platform to promote identity politics. Last year, he took similar jabs at Trump, and in the past, he’s criticized those who are against transgenderism. It appears that the actor, much like the recent versions of Doctor Who, now focuses more on delivering political sermons rather than providing entertainment for his audience.

As Tennant’s comments continue to divide audiences, it’s hard not to speculate if he recognizes the impact on his own image and the programs he represents. It’s unfortunate to witness a renowned actor resorting to outdated political humor at an awards event that honors cinematic accomplishments.
