Actor Brian Cox suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while chatting to an audience about his upcoming film at the Toronto International Film Festival

Brian Cox was left red faced after accidentally giving fans more than they bargained for. The Succession star, 79, mistakenly flashed his private parts while on stage discussing his new movie Glenrothan.

As he sat in a tartan kilt chatting to the crowd at the Toronto International Film Festival., he was told about his manhood mishap, leaving him to brush it off in a typical jokey manner. The incident left the crowd in laughter, making him close his legs.

However, the star’s wardrobe malfunction happened again just moments later. And he went on to confess to the audience why he didn’t have underpants on for the occasion.

“Whose idea was it to wear these f*****g kilts?,” he joked. “Certainly not my idea.”

He the blamed the producer for coming up with the outfit plan. “They can be so vengeful,” he quipped. “But you have to wear the kilt the proper way.

“Is it that bad? The kilt is designed to make you cool and free. And it’s a f*****g wonderful freedom.”

And he revealed he had only recently been watching a similar skit in iconic sitcom Friends. In the scene, Phoebe’s boyfriend opted against wearing underwear while wearing baggy clothes.

“It’s so funny because I was bored yesterday and I was watching an old episode of Friends,” Cox confessed. “It was about a guy who kept showing himself as he’s wearing these shorts. I thought, ‘Oh God, I hope that doesn’t happen to me tomorrow when I’m wearing the kilt’.”

Earlier in the year, Cox admitted to using Ozempic as he issued a blunt statement about the drug. It came as he appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show.

Admitting his use, Cox made sure to make it clear why he was using the drug – and that’s for it’s intended use. After Jonathan complimented the actor on how trim he was looking, the actor replied: “I know because…Ozempic.

“No, it’s true. I am a diabetic and Ozempic is for diabetics, it is not for fat people.”

Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion, slowing down gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

Whle Cox is using it for health reasons, celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne and Stephen Fry have confirmed their use of the drug to try to lose weight. However, Sharon has urged others to think twice about using Ozempic after her own experience.

She admitted to taking the drug in 2023. However, she said it left her feeling constantly queasy. She lost 42lbs but has since admitted she is desperate to put some weight on but can’t – despite having quit the medication.
