Succession icon Brian Cox gave fans more behind-the-scenes content than they bargained for by wearing a kilt “the proper way”—with nothing underneath—to the premiere of his directorial debut. The Scotsman spoke at the Toronto International Film Festival to mark the release of Glenrothan, which centers on the reconnection of two brothers in the Highlands. Perched on stage to field questions, the 79-year-old soon had members of the audience letting him know a thing or two themselves. “Is it that bad?” he asked to laughter, “Or that good?” And so it went on, partly about the film, partly about Cox sharing more than he planned to, interspersed with cries of “Your legs! Your legs!” when the commando star got too comfortable. When he talked about making the film his own way, he bemoaned directors who “cover their a--… or not.” He added, “What an unfortunate phrase. I’m really sorry about this. I never thought I’d be in this position.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, he did address the elephant in the room directly on multiple occasions, saying at one point, “You have to wear the kilt the proper way.” At another, he joked in mock fury, “Whose idea was it to wear these f---ing kilts? Certainly not my idea. It was the producer’s idea. They always try to f--- you up, at the end of the day.”
