Even as a born Scotsman, Brian Cox<\/a> might need a kilt-wearing tutorial. The Succession<\/a> actor gave an audience quite the show when he suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday, September 11.<\/p>\n

Cox was on hand at TIFF to promote Glenrothan, his directorial debut. But we daresay the post-screening Q&A might be more of a news story than the film premiere.<\/p>\n

As Cox sat in manspreading fashion on stage at Roy Thomson Hall for the Q&A, an audience member had to point out that his kilt was, well, causing a spectacle, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that bad? Or that good?\u201d Cox quipped. \u201cYou have to wear the kilt the proper way. The kilt is designed to make you cool and free. And it\u2019s a f***ing wonderful freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor made light of the situation later in the discussion, when he mentioned that he wanted to make Glenrothan his way, as opposed to directors who \u201ccover their ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an unfortunate phrase,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m really sorry about this. I never thought I\u2019d be in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

And yet Cox\u2019s kilt continued to betray him, apparently, as THR notes filmgoers in the front rows had to yell out, \u201cYour legs! Your legs!\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Cox adopted a tone of faux outrage. \u201cWhose idea was it to wear these f***ing kilts?\u201d he said. \u201cCertainly not my idea. It was the producer\u2019s idea. They always try to f*** you up, at the end of the day. They can be so vengeful sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifically, Cox blamed pinned the idea on Glenrothan producer Neil Zeiger, who had also worn a kilt for the occasion but, as Cox correctly guessed, was also wearing underwear.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kilt is about being free and easy,\u201d Cox said, before turning sheepish. \u201cIt\u2019s hard not to wear underpants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glenrothan is \u201ca story of family, forgiveness, and the possibility of healing,\u201d in which two headstrong brothers, played by Cox and costar Alan Cumming<\/a>, to the Scottish Highlands home of their 200-year-old family whiskey distillery after being estranged for almost 40 years, according to the film\u2019s logline.<\/p>\n
