Brian Cox Laughs Off Kilt Malfunction at TIFFGlenrothan’ Premiere

He treated the onstage gaffe as a joke, pointing to producer Neil Zeiger for the kilt choice.

Overview

  • During a post-screening Q&A at Roy Thomson Hall, an audience member warned Cox his kilt had lifted and he was revealing more than his calves.
  • “Is it that bad? Or that good?” he quipped as the crowd laughed, before closing his knees and acknowledging the moment.
  • Reports from multiple outlets say he wore the kilt the traditional way without underwear, which he framed as “cool and free.”
  • He singled out producer Neil Zeiger from the audience, joking that it was Zeiger’s idea to wear kilts and noting Zeiger confirmed he had underpants on.
  • The incident occurred during the world premiere of Glenrothan, Cox’s feature directorial debut starring Alan Cumming, Shirley Henderson and Alexandra Shipp, and the lighthearted exchange was quickly picked up across entertainment media.
