David Tennant Roasts Donald Trump at the BAFTAs 2025, And It’s a Masterclass in British Sass

Buy Me A Coffee

David Tennant came, saw, and absolutely roasted Donald Trump during his opening monologue at the 2025 BAFTAs on Sunday (February 16) at Royal Festival Hall in London.

The 53-year-old former Doctor Who star hosted the event for the second year in a row, proving once again that no one delivers a sharp-tongued, posh-accented takedown quite like a seasoned British actor.

Within minutes of grabbing the mic, Tennant set his sights on the Apprentice-turned-president-turned-frequent-court-defendant, and the jokes were flying faster than Trump’s hair in a strong breeze.

David Tennant vs. Trump: The Roast Begins
First up, Tennant took a swing at Trump’s structurally fascinating hairdo, using a BAFTA-nominated film to illustrate his point:

“The Brutalist is 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.”

Ouch. Somewhere, a can of hairspray just wept.

Tennant then poked fun at Trump’s well-documented tendency to avoid anything not featuring himself in the starring role:

Donald Trump says he hasn’t seen The Apprentice because it’s a 15 [referring to the UK film rating]. It’s not on Nickelodeon. Donald Trump … I’m worried. I’ve said his name three times. It’s like Beetlejuice — I’ve summoned him. And talking of villains…”

The crowd erupted in laughter, possibly from joy, possibly from sheer terror at the idea of Trump materializing in the middle of the BAFTAs.

Nosferatu, Hugh Grant, and Some Bond Shenanigans
Tennant didn’t stop there. He kept the comedy train rolling with references to Nosferatu, Conclave, and The Heretic, at one point dragging Hugh Grant into the chaos. Because if you’re British and holding a microphone, it’s basically a legal requirement to mention Hugh Grant at least once.
