Kevin McKidd at “Brave” Premiere

Posted on Jul 2, 2012 in Fashion

Good morning! Happy Monday! Would you like some finely aged Scottish ginger to get your week started off gently, yet still leave you refreshed and stimulated?

Kevin McKidd attends premiere of new Pixar animated movie “Brave” in Edinburgh, Scotland.

We thought you did.

Le Sigh. Nothing like a hot man in a kilt to start you off right. Not that I’m biased or anything, you understand. And when he’s a ginger on top of it all? Hoo Boy Howdy.

    I actually love haggis, when its freshly made. The frozen, or tinned stuff, is beyond horrible.

Men in kilts = hot.
THIS particular man in this particular kilt = exceedingly hot.
Thank you, TLo.

Never have thought of myself as a kilt girl, but WOW.
- call_me_schmeg
  
  yes, i always found myself distracted by those little nut-banging satchels. but this manly ging can turn a girls head, now!
  - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
    
    heh heh heh
    “nut banging satchels”
    I will never wear mine again without thinking of this.
    THANKS!
  - Hiptobesquare
    
    Respect the sporran! Especially when it’s settled on such nice geography as this… He is lovely!
  - MilaXX
    
    I’ve never heard of the sporran being called a nut banging satchel.
    - call_me_schmeg
      
      that’s what i’m here for.
      
      also, my ocd is screaming to turn all those little silver square buttons the same way.

I so desperately wanted my husband to wear his clan’s tartan for our wedding, but he was never a fan of the colors – said he’d look like a christmas tree. Ah well.

Thank you for this lovely morning pick me up. Yum.

That is a very attractive man. Happy Monday!

white kilt socks and dancing shoes!!! nooooooo….not how it should be done at all, at all!
- http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
  
  Its simply the traditional attire, when dressing in full on formal fashion as Mr. McKidd is doing.
  - Corsetmaker
    
    Yup. Exactly,
    so yes just how it should be done at all, at all Only thing I’d question is that sporran he’s wearing :/
    - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
      
      Contemporary sporran with a slide closure? Yeah, not really formal enough. I have a fairly plain leather for everyday wear, and a chased silver and rabbit fur, for formal.
      - Corsetmaker
        
        It’s way too casual. I’ve got a friend that makes day sporrans as a sideline, and often I like them better than some of the formal ones, but this stands out a mile as wrong. If it had even been black it wouldn’t have been so noticeable!
      - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
        
        So, I guess what you’re saying is, one of us needs to get it off of him. Don’t worry, y’all, I’ve got this!!!
      - formerlyAnon
        
        Dang. Your willingness to take one for the team is so . . so . . . inspiring. If you don’t come back we’ll put up a nice memorial.
      - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
        
        I could never do less for all my fellow BKs.
      - Corsetmaker
        
        I suspect I’m a hell of a lot closer though….. race you ;b

  Yeah, boots are sexier than ghillies, but he’s still damned fine.
Economie

But is he wearing his kilt in the traditional manner? Inquiring minds want to know!
- http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
  
  Within kilt etiquette, at formal occasions, such as a ball, reception, presentation to royalty, or in this case, a red carpet, underthings are considered to be proper. However, over the last several years, these rules have relaxed considerably. So the goods may indeed be swinging free. The world will never know.

    I volunteer to make the examination.

        Or devout people praying single-mindedly for an almighty updraft?
      - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
        
        Amen, Halleluiah!
  - Corsetmaker
    
    Depends as well whether it’s a hire or his own. A lot hire places are insisting on underwear now. But if I were to take a guess I’d say he’s wearing it traditionally
    - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
      
      Nice to know! I’ve never hired one, so I was unaware of that. Makes sense, of course.
      - Corsetmaker
        
        Totally, I dread to think what they get back sometimes!
      - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
        
        eeeeeeyew!
      - librarygrrl64
        
        I feel like that about every hired/borrowed suit that Michael Fassbender wears.
  - http://www.facebook.com/people/Sierra-Delta/100003182924700 Sierra Delta
    
    I’m decidedly relieved that no one has ever expressed the least interest in what I may or may not be wearing under my kilt.
    - http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
      
      Then, my friend, you are a very lucky person. I get “the question” every single day. My stock answer is, “No one gets to know, without dinner and flowers, first.” Most of the people I know who wear kilts with any regularity have a stock answer to hand for that occasion.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Sierra-Delta/100003182924700 Sierra Delta
        
        I learned about kilt etiquette from an RAF officer.
        
        It was the early 60s, and he and his family had been posted to the U.S. They were ecstatic about the assignment until they discovered that in military-speak “U.S.” meant “Tennessee.” They were a lovely family, and his wife and my mother bonded over a shared ladylike admiration for Prince Philip.
        
        I think Capt. C. was very homesick for the green of the English countryside, as who wouldn’t have been, stuck in a tiny dusty town whose commercial center was a five and ten next to the railroad tracks.
        
        We fed them their first American Christmas dinner. After multiple toasts to the holiday, the RAF, the USAF, the Royal Family, and each other, my mother got up the nerve to ask about kilts and their underpinnings. Midway through the very detailed response, we children were excused from the table.

    I think he could have gone with a more formal sporan given he’s wearing the more formal kilt jacket and bowtie.

So cute! I’ve loved him since “Topsy Turvey”. Thanks, guys!
- Tammy_4
  
  yay, a Topsy Turvy reference! Loved him in that (and “Rome” of course)

  Thanks for making me go look that up – I loved that movie and did not remember that he was in it!

I have no idea who this gentleman is, but he looks fabulous. I love a man in a kilt.
- schadenfreudelicious
  
  he currently plays one of the Dr’s on Grey’s Anatomy but has done a variety of things (including narration on Call of Duty, so my teenage son tells me)

No thanks, my nicely aged Scottish ginger is much hotter
- formerlyAnon
  
  You are blessed. Twice blessed for realizing it!
hmariec19

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a MAN.
AnaRoW

Every time I see him (or Ray Stevenson or James Purefoy) all I can think is what a shame it is that “Rome” didn’t last more than two seasons. Especially when none of them have done anything since that I care to see.
- MilaXX
  
  Well Kevin at least has done movies & has Grey’s Anatomy. James Purefoy I see occasionally. Mostly recently he was on Revenge for a hot minute. Ray Stevenson I haven’t seen in a minute. Oddly enough my first memory of Kevin is from Trainspotting and I can still look at him with lust.
  - Corsetmaker
    
    James Purefoy is lovely! I didn’t mind Ironclad so long as you suspend any idea of history. And he’s in Episodes if anyone watches that. I believe the new series is just starting in the US.
    - MilaXX
      
      I haven’t watched Episodes but I hear good buzz about it so I may check it out.
  - http://twitter.com/kerrymccombs Kerry McCombs
    
    If you like Kevin McKidd AND James Purefoy you have to look up the little British indie film “Bedrooms and Hallways!” They play GAY LOVERS in it! No, I’m not joking.
    - MilaXX
      
      I have seen it. Several times
- bitchybitchybitchy
  
  I can still picture the expression on James Purefoy’s face when Caesar was assassinated in the final episode of Rome, season one…heartbreaking.
Susan Crawford

A Scotsman in a kilt? Nothing finer – and the ginger hair is a nice bonus. Thanks guys!
gsk241

Yes!

Men in kilts are so hot. I just don’t understand why my Japanese/Korean-American husband won’t wear one.
- AthenaJ
  
  Take him to a Rennaissance Faire and tell him kilt wearing is mandatory.
  - gsk241
    
    I tried that, but unfortunately he didn’t fall for it. On the plus side, a lot of other men did!
- another_laura
  
  It can be done! I know a terrific Korean guy who totally fell in love with the bagpipes and wears a kilt whenever he can, for the love of all things Scottish.

Love him from the HBO series “Rome”!

He’s looking well. Kilt the right length and everything Only thing is that sporran, it’s a bit of a day number.

*abject whimpering for 10 minutes*

So..not to sound ungrateful or anything…but the kilt is hanging in a funny way, yes? They normally don’t hang flat in the front like that, do they?
- Corsetmaker
  
  Yes, a kilt is flat at the front.

Ahhhh, Kevin McKidd, fondly remembered ffrom such iconic fare as Dog Soldiers and Rome.

Laaahvly.
- corvina
  
  Yesss – loved him in Dog Soldiers. He was also the gorgeous lead in the short-lived sci-fi series Journeyman.

Jeez. I had to come back and look again to fortify myself for the day. I think I have the strength, now.

Well helloooooo there!!! Thanks TLo!

True story: when my fiancee and I had our first conversation (we’d met briefly a couple years before), he was dressed up as Rowdy Roddy Piper for Halloween. I had always thought he was cute and, due to my nervousness, I proceeded to drink waaay too much… and in my drunken state I looked down at his kilt, noticed his kilt bag, and blurted out that I liked his ‘package’. Needless to say, he was very confused until he looked down and saw what I was talking about. My best friend next to me though the entire thing was hilarious, of course. Good thing I was too drunk to be embarrassed Anyways, it was true love from then on… getting married in a year!

Yum…how adorable is that smile?? Good LORD but he’s aged nicely since Trainspotting! What a hunk. Sort of Boris-Becker-ish, and I was always a sucker for Boris.

I’ve never seen a sporran quite like his. It’s not appropriate for the RC, but it’d be perfect for a weekend at the games

It seems the tartan was designed for the film and can only be woven with their consent. I’m really not sure I can get behind a Disney tartan! It seems wrong somehow :/
Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, Kelly MacDonald and Ewen Bremner were also there. Not in kilts though.
- another_laura
  
  Oh I was wondering what tartan that was. I looked up “Kidd” and no, not that.
  - http://www.lindamerrill.com Linda Merrill
    
    It’s the plaid the characters wore in the move. There were a couple of kilted gents in the premier photos with the same one. I so wish my late night bf Craig Ferguson would have worn it too!
- formerlyAnon
  
  It seems DEFINITELY wrong that there is a Disney corporate tartan.
- SignLadyB
  
  Ooh booo! I really loved the colors of that tartan and was hoping to adopt it for myself.

GAH. Well.

That just started my week of well.
Eclectic Mayhem

*sigh*

Wonderful. Thanks fellas!

And everyone should go and see Brave! Mr McKidd does two voices in it and one of them is so completely impenetrable that even the other characters can’t understand him. It’s a lovely, lovely film.
- Natalie Marshall
  
  In an interview I just read, McKidd mentioned that the impenetrable accent is based on his own grandfather’s, which he can only understand because he grew up hearing it. I almost died of “aww…”
- bitchybitchybitchy
  
  OK-now “Brave” is officially on my must see list!

Thanks TLo, I needed this. I intentionally saw the movie this weekend for it’s voice talent (especially this particular ginger whom I fell in love with watching Rome). What a waste! You’d barely know he and Craig Ferguson were in it. Consider my longing visually managed.

The McKidd tartan is doing nothing for his eyes.

Other than that, I’ll have three, please.

Or as the bruthas say, Goddamn.
