Brian Blessed’s heckler put down is not sophisticated but it’s very satisfying

Here’s Brian Blessed dealing with a heckler in the best way he knows how.

Just in case that’s tricky to read …

“Actor Brian Blessed launched a C-word rant at a room full of farmers in a row over budger culling.

The star lost his cool when they began booing him as he hosted a 200-strong dinner.

Blessed, 81, who was dressed as a Tudor king, had been asked what laws he would bring in as a monarch.

When the outspoken animal activist replied that he would ban farmers culling badgers, one of the guests began shouting and swearing at him.

The Flash Gordon star bellowed: ‘You’re all cunts, I hoe you all die of TB.’ He then stormed out, yelling it had been a ‘shit idea’ for him to host the pig and poultry farmers’ do.

One guest, who asked not to be named, said: ‘It was after dinner and the booze had been flowing. Brian used the C word before flouncing out.’”

perfect companion piece to his delivering a random baby in Richmond Park and biting the umbilical cord story.
