Appearing on BBC's The One Show, actor Dan Stevens was the headline guest sitting on the sofa alongside presenters Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas. Promoting his new series 'Gaslit', which explores the Watergate scandal of the seventies and led to the eventual resignation of US President Nixon, Stevens left viewers aghast at his hilarious remark.
"What you've got is a criminal for a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, embroiled in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots and really should resign," he explained, apparently describing the plot Gaslit.
The Downtown Abbey star then jokingly corrected himself: "No, I'm sorry that's the intro to Boris Johnson."
