He was taking no crap on the red carpet.
British actor Daniel Kaluuya hit out at a red carpet interviewer who told him Get Out owed its success in part because it ‘ticked a lot of boxes’.
Responding to the comments, Daniel said: “They’re not boxes though, articulating a black experience is not a box. We’re articulating our truth. We’re human beings.”

The clip has since gone viral due to the intelligence of his response. Here’s what people on Twitter had to say about it:
I've watched this clip five times and I'm still left speechless by the offensiveness and downright racism of the interviewer suggesting #GetOut "ticks a lot of boxes". Massive kudos to Daniel Kaluuya in the way he handled it, but it's still a gobsmackingly awful interview. https://t.co/7jB6q2gYG7

What an absolute legend #DanielKaluuya is.
Sky Reporter: (Get Out) ticks a lot of boxes in some ways, it raises important themes.
