- Actor Brian Cox, who appeared in the film Braveheart, has labelled the Oscar-winning epic a “lie” built on historical inaccuracies.
- Cox, a proud Scotsman, specifically criticised the film's inclusion of kilts, saying they were not worn in Scotland until the 16th century, despite the film being set in the late 13th century.
- He agreed with film critic Mark Kermode that the film is “tosh-like” and “a f***ing lie, the whole thing”.
- Despite his criticisms of the film's accuracy, Cox praised director and star Mel Gibson, calling him “wonderful to work with” and “a really good man”.
- In contrast, Gibson recently expressed joy about making Braveheart, becoming emotional while reflecting on the film's score at a musical performance in Ireland.
