\n\tBrian Cox<\/a>, a proud Scotsman,\u00a0left little to the imagination on Thursday night as he wore a kilt to the world premiere of Glenrothan<\/a>, his Scotch whisky drama and directorial debut, at the Toronto Film Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIs it that bad?\u201d an immodest Cox asked after a film-goer in the Roy Thomson Hall audience during the post-screening Q&A put up his hand to warn the manspreading Succession<\/a> actor he was showing on stage far more than sturdy calves as his traditional black tartan pleated skirt unceremoniously lifted.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOr that good?\u201d a grinning Cox then asked the audience by now in raucous laughter. \u201cYou have to wear the kilt the proper way. The kilt is designed to make you cool and free. And it\u2019s a fucking wonderful freedom,\u201d Cox then insisted after finally putting his knees together. <\/p>\n

\n\tCox turned his attention to Glenrothan, his Scottish family drama set in the rural highlands and centering on two estranged brothers who reunite in the land of their birth. Donal, played by Alan Cumming<\/a>, has returned home from America to see his older and ailing brother Sandy (Cox), only to reopen old wounds and finally reconcile with their shared past to save the family whiskey distillery.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile arguing he wanted with Glenrothan to tell the story he wanted to tell, unlike other filmmakers in Hollywood who just \u201ccover their ass\u2026 or not,\u201d a ruffled Cox then added with another below-the-belt jibe about his kilt fashion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat an unfortunate phrase. I\u2019m really sorry about this. I never thought I\u2019d be in this position,\u201d Cox told the TIFF<\/a> audience apologetically. Still later, when calls of \u201cYour legs! Your legs!\u201d were heard again from the first few rows of the TIFF venue, Cox called out to Glenrothan producer Neil Zeiger in the audience for apparently urging him to dress to kilt for the world premiere. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhose idea was it to wear these fucking kilts?\u201d Cox cried out with faux outrage. \u201cCertainly not my idea. It was the producer\u2019s idea. They always try to fuck you up, at the end of the day. They can be so vengeful sometimes,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou\u2019re probably wearing underpants,\u201d Cox then questioned Zeiger, who was himself wearing a tartan kilt and who nodded in the affirmative. \u201cThe kilt is about being free and easy,\u201d Cox then advised, before adding sheepishly: \u201cIt\u2019s hard not to wear underpants.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
