• "Sir, fuck you. Fuck you. Thank you very much," Scott added.

Sir Ridley Scott told a journalist, "go fuck yourself" during a now-viral video interview for his medieval drama "The Last Duel."

During the video, the interviewer remarked that "The Last Duel" — which is set in 14th century France and follows a married woman, Marguerite (Jodie Comer), as she accuses a knight, Jacques LeGris (Adam Driver), of raping her — is a "very realistic film."

The interviewer then progressed to say that "The Last Duel" was "more realistic" than some of Scott's previous films.

"It looks more realistic than 'Kingdom of Heaven' or 'Robin Hood' if you're talking about —," the interviewer said, to which Scott, who was joined by Comer for the interview, interjected and responded: "Sir, fuck you. Fuck you. Thank you very much. Fuck you. Go fuck yourself, sir. Go on."

Scott — who turned 84 earlier this year — has continually made headlines with comments about the response "The Last Duel" has received from audiences. Last month, Scott told Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast that he believed the film flopped at the international box office because millennials are no longer able to engage with information unless it is delivered through a cellphone.

"I think what it boils down to — what we've got today [are] audiences who were brought up on these fucking cellphones. The millennian [sic] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you're told it on a cellphone," Scott told the podcast.

"This is a broad stroke, but I think we're dealing with it right now with Facebook. This is a misdirection that has happened where it's given the wrong kind of confidence to this latest generation, I think."

"The Last Duel" landed exclusively in theaters in late October and took home $27 million at the worldwide box office from a $100 million budget.

The filmmaker has also been outspoken about the criticism leveled against "House of Gucci," his second feature film of the year, by the surviving members of the Gucci family.

"The people that were writing from the family to us at the onset were alarmingly insulting," Scott said when asked about the criticism he has received from the Gucci family.

"Saying that Al Pacino did not represent physically Aldo Gucci in any shape or form. And yet, frankly, how could they be better represented than by Al Pacino? Excuse me! You probably have the best actors in the world, you should be so fucking lucky."
