George Pimentel \/ Shutterstock<\/p>\n While attempting to redirect the conversation to his film, Cox said he wanted to tell the story his way, as opposed to other filmmakers who \u201ccover their ass\u2026or not,\u201d he quipped. <\/p>\n \u201cWhat an unfortunate phrase,\u201d he reportedly added. \u201cI\u2019m really sorry about this. I never thought I\u2019d be in this position.\u201d <\/p>\n After audience members continued to chant \u201cYour legs! Your legs!\u201d the actor turned his ire to producer Neil Zeigler, who he complained had encouraged him to don the kilt for the event. \u201cWhose idea was it to wear these f\u2013ing kilts?\u201d he joked, adding, \u201cCertainly not my idea.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was the producer\u2019s idea,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey always try to f\u2013k you up, at the end of the day. They can be so vengeful.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cIs it that bad?\u201d he reportedly quipped after the inadvertent exposure.
