00:00Matt Lucas has apologized to Millie Bobby Brown for comments he's made about her appearance.
00:05The British actor and comedian took to his Instagram right after the Stranger Things star
00:10posted a video publicly calling out journalists for criticizing the way she looks.
00:15Little Britain's Matt Lucas takes savage swipe at Millie Bobby Brown's new mummy makeover look
00:20written by Bethann Edwards. Amplifying an insult rather than questioning why a grown man is
00:27mocking a young woman's appearance. Lucas wrote that he wanted to provide some context saying his
00:32sketch show Little Britain had a character who had blonde hair and always wore a pink top and in the
00:38photo you had blonde hair and wore a pink top so I pointed out the similarity by posting one of her
00:43catchphrases. The Gladiator 2 actor continued I thought you looked terrific and I was mortified
00:48when the press wrote that I slammed you firstly because that's not my style and secondly because
00:52I think you're brilliant. I would not have posted it if I had thought it would have upset you but
00:57I realize it has and for that I apologize. Lucas was referencing a post he recently shared on
01:02X of brown sporting a pink jacket and blonde updo. He wrote in the post no but yeah but one of his
01:09character's catchphrases from Little Britain which ran from 2003 through 2006. The Daily Mail then
01:15wrote an article accusing Lucas of taking a savage swipe at the actress.
01:19Lucas's apology came after the Emmy nominated actress hit back at critics on social media and
01:31journalists who have commented or written stories about her appearance during the Electric State
01:36press tour. I grew up in front of the world and for some reason people can't seem to grow up with me.
