According to The Independent, The Russian Orthodox Church has condemned Conchita Wurst’s Eurovision victory.

This has led many to wonder why some bearded men who wear dresses are such a problem for other bearded men who wear dresses:

As far as I'm concerned there is only one bearded man who can rock the skirted look:

All others are mere imitators.

Oh, I don't know about that....

And Gerard Butler even pulls it off with a pink shirt.  :nod:

 

[Tibbson]

I'll give you points for Liam but with that "angry salmon" t-shirt and fake kilt Gerard just doesn't cut it.

This better?

But only Connery can rock the attitude that there is only one accent - the Scottich accent. iper: :dileas:

 

[Tibbson]

LOL. Much

Butler is Scottish as well.

 

[cupper]

But Butler never played a Rusian Naval Captain with a distinct Scottish accent. Or a Spanish Immortal, or a Private in the Irish Guards, or an English Trooper from the Royal Tank Regiment, or Roald Amundsen, or a Scandanavian Security Force Colonel, or a dragon.

...or James Bond.

The irony is, Connery has never played a Scot.  With the possible exception of Entrapment, since it never states his nationality.  But his name is MacDougal.

That's because he wouldn't know what accent to use. ;D

Actually, he played a Scot with his portrayal of Major General Roy Urquhart in a Bridge Too Far.

But his role of Private Flanagan in The Longest Day must have been pure sacrilege:

[Millen plays the bagpipes as British troops march toward the Germans]

Pvt. Clough: There it is, he's at it again! Have you ever heard such a racket in all your life?

Private Flanagan: Yeah, it takes an Irishman to play the pipes.

I always liked his turn as an irishman in the Disney classic "Darby O'Gill and the Little People".  His first staring roll and he even sang...badly.  lol

 

[Danjanou]

Umm not quite true. James Bond is half Scottish,  (father) and half Swiss (mother)  8)

 

[PMedMoe]

Look at that.  I learned something new....  ;D

 

[Colin Parkinson]

Just don't google; Connery, flying heads and Webely-Fosley

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Just don't google; Connery, flying heads and Webely-Fosley Webley Fosbery

TFTFY 

 

[Staff Weenie]

I had thought he was in Tunes of Glory, but no such luck.....

Perhaps the most hilarious Cpnnery moment has to be in "Highlander", when Scotsman Connor (played by Frenchman Christophe Lambert) explains haggis to "Spaniard" Ramirez (played by you know who).


Ramirez: Haggis? What is haggis?
Connor MacLeod: Sheep's stomach, stuffed with meat and barley.
Ramirez: And what do you do with it?
Connor MacLeod: You eat it.
Ramirez: How revolting!
