Brian Cox Accidentally Flashes Film Festival Audience

“Succession” star Brian Cox recently shocked fans unintentionally while attending the Toronto International Film Festival.

The famed, rocking a kilt, accidentally gave the audience an eyeful as he was not wearing underpants.

Amid the chatter over his wardrobe malfunction, Brian Cox connected with fans at the event for his directorial debut on “Glenrothan.”

Cox left fans stunned as he attended the Toronto International Film Festival, where he paid homage to his Scottish roots in a black kilt, paired with a smart dark grey blazer, a crisp black shirt, and a matching waistcoat.

He completed the look with long black socks and polished black leather loafers and was all smiles for the cameras.

The 79-year-old actor appeared oblivious to his surroundings, carefreely manspreading during the post-screening Q&A session, and exposing his modesty for all to see.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cox was alerted by a fan in the front row that his privacy had been laid bare for all to see, but jokingly replied to the audience member, asking if it was “that bad” or “that good?” as the crowd laughed.

“You have to wear the kilt the proper way. The kilt is designed to make you cool and free. And it’s a f-cking wonderful freedom,” the actor shared before closing his knees together.

According to the Daily Mail, Cox was joined on the red carpet by his wife, Nicole, who turned heads in a dark grey metallic strapless gown.

She threw in some silver open-toe platform heels and accessorised with a diamond pendant necklace and matching earrings. The 56-year-old also paid homage to her husband’s roots, wearing a green tartan headpiece to complete her ensemble.

A synopsis of Cox’s new film notes that “Glenrothan” follows the story of “two brothers following a violent exchange with their father on the day of their mother’s funeral, the younger of the two left their Highland home for America. After forty years, they reunite in the land of their birth.”

Cox stars in the movie as Sandy and is the older brother to Donal, played by Alan Cumming.

According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Cox detailed how he wanted his movie “Glenrothan” to tell the story he wanted to tell before taking a swipe at some other filmmakers who just want to “cover their -ss… or not.”

“What an unfortunate phrase. I’m really sorry about this. I never thought I’d be in this position,” Cox told the audience apologetically.

Despite the attention drawn to his kilt wardrobe mishap, Cox didn’t fully pay attention to take a dressing as calls of “Your legs! Your legs!” were heard again from the first few rows of the film festival venue.

Seemingly annoyed, he called out the film producer Neil Zeiger for urging him to dress that way for the world premiere of his movie.

“Whose idea was it to wear these f-cking kilts?” Cox cried out, feigning anger. “Certainly not my idea. It was the producer’s idea. They always try to f-ck you up, at the end of the day. They can be so vengeful sometimes.”

“You’re probably wearing underpants,” Cox turned to Zeiger, who was himself wearing a tartan kilt and who nodded in the affirmative.

“The kilt is about being free and easy,” the actor noted, before adding sheepishly: “It’s hard not to wear underpants.”
