Viewers have all noticed the same detail about Brian Cox as he presented an award at the TV BAFTAs.

The Succession star took to the stage in London tonight (12 May) to present the BAFTA Special Award.

Known for playing American Logan Roy in the popular drama, it wasn't the realisation that Cox actually has a Scottish accent that fans were talking about online.

Instead, as the 77-year-old presented the Special Award to Lorraine Kelly, viewers pointed out something about the star's suit.

For tonight's (12 May) award ceremony, Cox opted for a very smart, white shirt, white blazer and white bow-tie.

And because of that, viewers couldn't help but compare him to KFC's Colonel Sanders.

One wrote on X: "Brian Cox looks Colonel Sanders. Has he been knocking up some fried chicken KFC backstage?"

Another joked: "Brian Cox auditioning for Colonel Sanders Bio Pic."

While third agreed: "Is Brian Cox knocking up some fried chicken backstage?"

And someone else said: "Glad that Brian Cox is dressed as one of my heroes. Colonel Sanders."

Another added: "Brian Cox the new colonel sanders lol."

Although, some did think he was dressing as a different profession, with one user writing: "Brian Cox has been selling ice cream in the foyer."
