Succession star Brian Cox accidentally flashes…
Brian Cox gave the viewers an eye full.
The actor, 79, went commando under a kilt he was sporting at the Toronto International Film Festival during a post-screening Q&A on Thursday.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Cox, who was at the pageant to promote his directorial debut “Glenrothan,” was alerted by a fan sitting in the entrance row that he was accidentally flashing them.

“Is it that bad?” he allegedly requested the entrance row viewers member. “Or that good?” he quipped as the gang 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—ing wonderful freedom,” Cox shared before closing his knees together.
The Hollywood Reporter famous that the star explained how he wished ‘Glenrothan” to inform a story, not like some other filmmakers who just need to “cover their ass… or not.”

“What an unfortunate phrase. I’m really sorry about this,” Cox said after realizing the irony of his feedback. “I never thought I’d be in this position.”
Later during the Q&A, the gang chimed in, shouting, “Your legs! Your legs!” when Cox might flash them.
He teased back, “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–k you up, at the end of the day. They can be so vengeful sometimes.”

Cox called out the film’s producer Neil Zeiger, who was in the entrance row.
“You’re probably wearing underpants,” Cox said to the producer, 75, who was also dressed in a kilt.
Zeiger nodded his head in affirmation.

“The kilt is about being free and easy, it’s hard not to wear underpants,” Cox added.
Cox, who stars as Sandy in “Glenrothan,” was joined at TIFF by his solid members Alexandra Shipp and Shirley Henderson.
Fellow co-stars Siobhan Redmond and Alan Cumming weren’t in attendance.
Per a synopsis, the project 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’s directorial debut comes two years after the hit HBO sequence “Succession” got here to an end. The actor starred on the show from 2018 to 2023.
In December, Cox spoke out about his former co-star Jeremy Strong’s technique appearing method and how it impacted the sequence.
“He was wonderful to act with. I had no argument with Jeremy’s acting,” Cox told The Guardian at the time. “He would be an even better actor if he just got rid of that so there would be much more inclusiveness in what he did.”

Cox and Strong, 46, performed father-son duo Logan and Kendall Roy on the drama. “Succession” gained six Emmys during their fourth and last season, which aired between March 26 and May 28, 2023.
The Scottish native explained that a solid member who is in character all the time is “not good for the ensemble.”
“It creates hostility,” added Cox.

Although he admitted he never spoke with Strong “in the way [he] would like to have talked to him” about his technique appearing, sharing that “it’s a very emotive subject for people who follow the Strasberg line.”
Meanwhile, this wasn’t the first time Cox weighed in on Strong’s practices.
“He’s a very good actor. And the rest of the ensemble is all OK with this. But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set,” he told Town & Country in February 2023. “It’s f–king annoying. Don’t get me going on it.”

In 2021, Cox told the New Yorker: “I’ve worked with intense actors before. It’s a particularly American disease, I think, this inability to separate yourself off while you’re doing the job,” Cox said. “The result that Jeremy gets is always pretty tremendous. I just worry about what he does to himself. I worry about the crises he puts himself through in order to prepare.”
