In this clip from “Good Morning Britain,” Dan Stevens discusses his role in the movie “The Guest.” Things take a humorous turn when the interviewer uses the phrase “beat him off,” leading to a hilarious double entendre! • A double entendre is a word or phrase that has two interpretations, one often being risqué. In this case, “beat him off” can mean: • Literal Meaning: To fend someone off or defeat them in a competition. • Slang Meaning: A vulgar reference to a sexual act. • The comedy arises from the unexpected and inappropriate connotation in the interview context. Dan Stevens’ reaction perfectly captures the awkwardness and humor of the moment! • #Linguistics #Language #English #DoubleEntendre #InterviewFail #ContextMatters #GoodMorningBritain #DanStevens • Content researcher: ENG 501 graduate student, T.W.
