Hollywood star Alan Cumming retrieves hidden vodka bottle from Glasgow lane in brilliant clip

We've probably all done it at some point; stashed a drink somewhere pre-event to retrieve it later.

And it appears that not even Hollywood actors are exempt - if they have Scottish roots, at least - as Goldeneye and X-Men star Alan Cumming proved as he shared a hilarious clip of himself heading to a Glasgow lane to find his bottle of prized vodka.

The Traitors US presenter shared the video on his Instagram and explained that having flown recently with only hand luggage, he didn't want to give away a bottle of his favourite Scottish vodka, Arbikie.

Alan can be seen in the video wandering along a lane next to a church just off Woodlands Road, in Glasgow's west end.

He goes on to explain: "On Friday, I was in Glasgow but I flew from Edinburgh.

"When I finished filming someone gave me a bottle of my favourite Scottish vodka, Arbikie, and I didn't want to give it away, and I couldn't take it on the plane, as I just took hand luggage, and so I hid it."

As he gets further into the lane, he adds: "I hid it on Friday morning and I wonder if it's made it."

Reaching down behind a red street sign propped against some trees, a triumphant Alan exclaims: "Yes! So excited, thank you Glasgow!"

In the post, in which he tags the famous distillery in Arbroath, he wrote: "Reunited with my Arbikie Distillery Nadar climate-positive vodka."
