Brendan Fraser feels the heat during Batgirl filming in Glasgow

Mummy and George of the Jungle star Brendan Fraser has been feeling the heat during Batgirl filming in Glasgow - first with a curry and now with a fire scene.

Brendan is playing the role of the villainous Firefly and was filmed on Argyle Street for the latest scenes of the Hollywood blockbuster starring Leslie Grace in the lead role.

He was seen emerging from a burning pharmacy surrounded by smoke.

Brendan, who was wearing a baseball cap and khaki jacket with white bandages around his hands, was holding a bottle of pills during the shoot, which saw the inside of the building ablaze.

Batgirl has been filming in the Merchant City over the last week and more scenes are planned for coming weeks and months.

The star's heated experience follows another hot night spent at Indian restaurant Bantawala, where he enjoyed coconut lentil soup, a chicken tikka masala with rice and garlic naan bread with tandoori broccoli.

Filming for Batgirl is currently taking place in and around Parnie Street and Argyle Street where businesses have been transformed into Gotham outlets.

Residents were offered blackout blinds and ear plugs during some of the late night and early morning filming.

The streets are also covered in fake snow in the form of salt and there's even some fake grafitti and murals featuring Batman as well as lots of Christmas decorations.
