When initially a video of David Tennant and Michael Sheen brutally humiliating each other appeared online during the pandemic, netizens almost went stunned by their biting exchanges. Considering how the Harry Potter star and the Twilight actor are best buddies, it seemed shocking to fathom that they were openly mocking each other and their careers.
The particular video certainly fooled a lot of people, until it was revealed that the mockery was a spontaneous part of their comedy series Staged. Airing on BBC iPlayer, parts of their provocative comments and brilliant takedowns made rounds on the internet, fooling people. But while it appeared to be a brutal mockery of each other, in reality, their playful banter was rooted in a deep friendship.
Harry Potter Star David Tennant’s Shocking Mockery of Michael Sheen
Cooped up in their respective houses and hooked to the screen during the lockdown, netizens came across several eye-popping videos and incidents. However, nothing came close to the surprising video of the Harry Potter star David Tennant openly humiliating Michael Sheen during a Zoom call, in front of Whoopi Goldberg.
The video footage shared by @ight showed our beloved Doctor Who, David Tennant brutally criticizing the Twilight star Michael Sheen regarding his career and facing equally humiliating comebacks, in exchange. Stunned by their feud, while feeling sad for Whoopi Goldberg who was stuck in the middle of their squabble, netizens later got to know that it was all staged.
Well, Harry Potter made nearly 10M. Tennant reminded.
You were in one film and only one scene. Sheen clapped back.
And also flashback. Tennant clarified.
I was actually, actually in four of the Twilight films. Sheen asserted.
I’m Doctor Who. Tennant screamed.
Not anymore baby. Sheen reminded.
I still got People’s Choice Award. And this turns sideways and turn it like that and run it up your tight Welsh rectum. Tennant claimed.
And that’s exactly where that award should go. Sheen shouted.
Well, it was actually Staged – David Tennant and Michael Sheen’s hilarious comedy show that aired on BBC iPlayer, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The iconic series was born out of lockdown, which saw the pair getting interviewed about future projects, when spontaneously hell would break loose and Tennant and Sheen would begin fighting.
Whoopi Goldberg was simply among the notable famous faces who would dial in to say hello. Much like Christopher Waltz and Cate Blanchett had once joined in to play themselves in the comedy, along with the beloved English stars. David Tennant and Michael Sheen’s show ran for 3 seasons, earning a 93% RT rating.

The two English stars are buddies in real life, who have also shared the screen in the Prime Video series Good Omens. Therefore, despite their on-screen antics, the actors have openly discussed their mutual respect and admiration for each other.
