The actor says he had only ‘a nanosecond’ to process the racial slur shouted during the Baftas before continuing to present with co-star Michael B Jordan

Sinners star Delroy Lindo has spoken in more detail about the N-word controversy at the Baftas, which saw the BBC and Bafta apologise after a racial slur shouted by Tourette syndrome (TS) activist John Davidson was broadcast on BBC One in the edited highlights of the ceremony.

Lindo, who is nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in the film, was speaking to Tonya Mosley on NPR’s Fresh Air podcast , and said that at first he didn’t take in what had happened as he took to the stage to present an award with fellow Sinners star Michael B Jordan.
