Last year, the actor admitted he ‘p***ed’ off Cate Blanchett as he made a joke at her expense during the ceremony which was attended by Prince William.

David said he has ‘learned’ from last year and his goal is to try and make sure no one is left feeling ‘uncomfortable’ while he is attempting to be ‘witty’.

Speaking to Radio Times, David said: ‘The BAFTAs are supposed to be kind, last year we weren’t trying to roast people, but there was a joke about Cate Blanchett, and she looked a little bit annoyed, a little bit p***ed off.

‘And I remember going, “Oh God, no. I think you’re brilliant. I was just trying to be witty and make a point about how you’ve got lots of prizes, and we love you.”

‘So, I think if I’ve learned anything, it’s probably that I’m not interested in picking fights or making anyone feel in any way uncomfortable. If I have a style, it’s only that.’
