CRAVE TART!<\/p>\n
Mel Gibson has put on so much weight he was told to STOP eating to play Santa<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n
Surrounded by a hoard of Scotsmen, fans noticed an unfamiliar figure in the background of one of the shots.<\/p>\n
Behind Mel and a line-up of three warriors is a passer-by who walks through the scene in a baseball cap and coat.<\/p>\n
Presumably a member of the crew, the detail clearly doesn\u2019t belong in a film of that time period.<\/p>\n
The clip, which has since resurfaced on TikTok has left fans reeling with one user uploading the video, alongside the caption: \u201dWatching BRAVEHEART..<\/p>\n
\u201cHow tf do they just leave a random guy in a BASEBALL CAP and coat in the FILM?!? It\u2019s supposed to be 1297.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans flocked to the comments to share reaction to the movie mishap, one user said: \u201cOmg. How have I never spotted that before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNever caught this. Seen the movie at least 20 times,\u201d added a second.<\/p>\n
A third penned: \u201cThis is one of my favourite films and I\u2019ve probably watched it near on a hundred times in my life. Never noticed this! Good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been too busy watching Mel all these years to notice (laughing emoji),\u201d wrote a fourth.<\/p>\n
The extra cast member is among a myriad of historical blunders that are shown in the iconic flick.<\/p>\n
During one of the legendary 13th-century battle scenes a white modern-day car can be seen in the background.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s the fact Mel Gibson\u2019s character wears a kilt \u2013 a garment not invented until the 16th century.<\/p>\n
