Hollywood actor Michael Keaton has shared a hilarious story about a drunk Glaswegian who he asked for directions.

The Batman star was appearing on James Cordon's talk show back in 2017 when he recalled the encounter.

The unearthed footage sees Michael reminisce about meeting a "hammered" Glaswegian while in our "great city".

It is thought that the actor was shooting scenes for Scottish football movie A Shot At Glory at the time, which was released in 2000 starring Scottish footballing legend Ally McCoist.

After describing locals as "genuinely funny and really nice", he went into one bizarre encounter.

Keaton explains: "I was staying in a hotel and I was really lost. I didn't know how to get there and there was a guy walking along the road – he wasn't hitch-hiking, exactly.

"I pulled over and asked him for directions... He could have been speaking anything. He was hammered, with a hardcore Glaswegian accent.

"At this point I'm, like "this" far from his face, trying to understand what he's saying.

"He says to me, 'let me in the car and I'll show you.' I thought, 'Perfect.' So he gets in the car."

At which point James Cordon says "I cannot stress enough, don't do this at home!"

Keaton goes on to mimic the incoherent Glaswegian directing the driver through the city before he realized exactly what the chancer was up to.

He added: "He was so smart – as drunk as he was, he gets me in the car.

"I finally make out where he takes me because he takes me to his house, gets out the car and he goes 'Thank you!'"
