“My mum and my dad... they had sex – and now I’m here!” he added, with the camera cutting to his mum’s very confused face.

“What’s he talking about?” she could be seen asking her daughter, who was laughing away next to her.

Viewers picked up on the hilarious moment.

“Daniel Kaluuya‘s mum saying ‘what’s he talking about?’ Best moment so far,” one person wrote.

Kaluuya addressed the moment backstage during a press conference, telling reporters: “It just came out of my mouth. My mum’s probably going to text me some stuff about that, but here we are.”
