It's not often you get an actor styling out a long-winded burn with quite as much pizzazz as British actor Dan Stevens did during his appearance on The One Show.

On Wednesday, the actor was being interviewed about his new show Gaslit, which is all about the Watergate scandal and the resignation of the president.

Stevens said this when asked to set the show up.

Stevens says that a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, mired in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots should resign.

I am sorry, but that is the introduction to Boris Johnson. I apologize for the introduction to Boris Johnson.

The delivery was met with a combination of muffled laughter and shocked gasps from the crew in the room.

In the summer of 2020, Johnson was fined by the police for breaching the lock down rules with parties and gatherings at government residences. He has resisted calls to resign.

The clip of Stevens has been viewed over 6 million times.
