Overview

• Brian Cox wore a tartan kilt for the world premiere of Glenrothan at Roy Thomson Hall during the Toronto International Film Festival.
• During the post-screening Q&A, his kilt lifted as he sat, prompting loud audience reactions and his quip, “Is it that bad? Or that good?”
• Cox bantered with the crowd as people shouted “Your legs!” and he joked about kilt “freedom” before closing his stance.
• He mock-blamed producer Neil Zeiger for the kilt choice, asking who suggested it and teasing him about wearing underpants, then apologized for the awkward moment.
• Some outlets said he wore the kilt the “proper way,” a claim based on on-stage remarks that has not been independently verified, while coverage also highlighted the film’s whisky-distillery family plot starring Cox and Alan Cumming.
