Highlander star Christopher Lambert says Sir Sean Connery turned him into honorary Scot

Highlander star ­Christopher Lambert yesterday revealed that Sir Sean Connery turned him into an honorary Scot.

The actor, 62, made the admission at the Glasgow Film and Comic Con event, where he met fans, posed for photographs and signed autographs.

He said: “After appearing in with Sean Connery, I feel like an adopted Scot. I just love coming to Scotland and it’s great to be back.

“When we were on set, Sean would talk about Scotland all the time and he even taught me how to speak like a real Scot.”

The event at the intu Braehead shopping centre attracted thousands of people from all over the country.

Lambert was among the big attractions at the event, which attracts fans dressed as characters from films, TV shows and comics.

Visitors from a galaxy far, far away, including Stormtroopers from Star Wars, gave shoppers a surprise when they entered the mall.

The event continues today and ­marketing manager for intu Braehead, David Lyon, said: “You just never know who you’re going to bump into when you’re out in the malls.”
