Actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage at the time during the award ceremony in London.

Host Alan Cumming stressed that the outbursts of profanity and slurs were involuntary and apologized for any offense the language may have caused.

At the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards, Tourette's syndrome activist John Davidson experienced a tic outburst and used expletives and a racial slur.

The actor said he wished ‘someone from Bafta’ spoke to him afterwards
