David Walliams has been dropped from the new movie “Fing!” after he was identified as the “suicidal” celebrity accused of sexual misconduct.
The comedian had a cameo in the Jeffrey Walker-directed adventure-fantasy family film, which is slated to be released in the US in January.
However, Walliams is being removed from the movie — which also stars Taika Waititi, Mia Wasikowska, Matt Lucas and Iona Bell — as well as its promotion and marketing.
“We take the allegations reported regarding David Walliams seriously,” producers said in a statement to Variety.
“Our thoughts are with anyone who has been affected. We have removed his cameo appearance from ‘Fing!,’ and he will have no involvement in the film’s release or promotion,” they added.
“Fing!” was going to be distributed in the UK by Sky, but the company has since removed the film from its slate altogether.
“The allegations made against David Walliams are extremely serious,” a spokesperson for Sky told the outlet.
“We have notified the producers of the film of our intention to exit our position as the UK & Ireland licensee of ‘Fing,’” they added.
Page Six has reached out to Walliams’ rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The children’s book author, 55, was identified as the celeb accused of sexual misconduct who had been trying to stop publications from revealing his name.
Multiple women — two of whom claim they were just 15 when they met Walliams — have accused him of using his celebrity status to groom them for sex.
Lawyers for the actor told a UK judge that their client had made two attempts to take his own life and was threatening to do so a third time if his identity was outed.
In a statement, the “Britain’s Got Talent” judge denied he’s a “sexual predator.”
“Looking back, I realize that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with,” he wrote in a statement Tuesday. “That is something I regret.”
