00:15Little Britain's Matt Lucas takes savage swipe at Millie Bobby Brown's new mummy makeover look
00:21written by Bethann Edwards, amplifying an insult rather than questioning
00:26why a grown man is mocking a young woman's appearance.
00:29Lucas wrote that he wanted to provide some context, saying his sketch show,
00:33Little Britain, had a character who had blonde hair and always wore a pink top.
00:37And in the photo, you had blonde hair and wore a pink top,
00:40so I pointed out the similarity by posting one of her catchphrases.
00:44The Gladiator 2 actor continued,
00:46I thought you looked terrific and I was mortified when the press wrote that I slammed you,
00:50firstly because that's not my style and secondly because I think you're brilliant.
00:53I would not have posted it if I had thought it would have upset you,
00:56but I realize it has and for that I apologize.
00:59Lucas was referencing a post he recently shared on X
01:03of Brown sporting a pink jacket and blonde updo.
01:06He wrote in the post,
01:07No, but yeah, but one of his character's catchphrases from Little Britain,
01:11which ran from 2003 through 2006.
01:14The Daily Mail then wrote an article accusing Lucas of taking a savage swipe at the actress.
01:20No, but, yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no,
01:23because I'm not even going on the pill because medium records will stop me from getting pregnant.
01:25Lucas' apology came after the Emmy-nominated actress hit back at critics on social media
01:31and journalists who have commented or written stories about her appearance
01:35during the Electric State press tour.
01:37I grew up in front of the world and for some reason, people can't seem to grow up with me.
