Hollywood star of Robert the Bru

THE FIELDS are red with blood, bodies are ripped apart, heads severed, innocents butchered. But it was only when the King of Scotland emerged from a burn totally nude that people were really shocked.

Hollywood star Chris Pine spent last summer deep in battle across Scotland as he and director David Mackenzie brought the story of Robert the Bruce to life in new Netflix movie Outlaw King.

And he admitted to being taken aback that his nudity caused the biggest stir.

Pine said: “People are giggling about my penis as if they’re schoolchildren, yet there are movies with people sawing their heads off that can be shown to 13 year olds in my country, and that’s not a problem.

“You show two people having sex and your mother is going to hide it from you.”

The Star Trek actor said the reaction showed imbalanced attitudes towards violence and sex: “If you distill it down, there’s something about showing intimacy which is verboten and showing violence, which is a thumbs up. The reality is, it’s confusing times we are living in. It’s the dying embers of the Calvinistic idea of self flagellating and shame and anger – violence is all good yet sex and intimacy and making love is bad.

“Florence (Pugh, his on-screen Queen) shows her breasts and her body and no one is talking about it. Is that because she is expected to do that as a woman?

“As a man, I am not expected to do that. And why am I not expected to do that? Is it because it shows vulnerability, or weakness, I don’t know.”

Pine’s argument sits well with his depiction of a thoughtful and forward-thinking medieval king.

The movie, which launches next Friday and also stars Tony Curran, Aaron Taylorjohnson, Stephen Dillane, James Cosmo and Billy Howle, takes up the story of the Wars of Independence, roughly where Braveheart left off. With Willam Wallace defeated, Bruce and the other nobles surrender to King Edward I.

Bruce finds himself crowned King of Scotland, outlawed for the murder of rival John Comyn and a threat to English
