Scottish pals Lulu and Brian Cox hang out in New York as fans go wild

Glasgow singer Lulu shared a photo on social media with her 'Scottish pal' Brian Cox hanging out in New York City.

The Dundee born actor and Shout singer are in an embrace holding hands in the photo, and fans can't help but gush over the sweet snap of two Scottish legends.

She wrote on Instagram: "Two wee nomadic Scottish pals hanging out in New York"

Lulu, 73, grew up in Dennistoun and has had an impressive career spanning across five decades with highlights including singing the James Bond theme and winning Eurovision in 1969.

Brian, 75, was born in Dundee and went onto star in huge productions like Mel Gibson's Braveheart, being the first actor to portray Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter, and most recently taking centre stage as Logan Roy in HBO's Succession.

Famous faces and fans soon rallied in the comments to share their delight on Lulu's pic of the two.

Fearne Cotton wrote: "Oh well this is the DREAM"

Natasha Bedingfield commented: "H hi so long u in NY for ?!! I’m here at the moment too."

One fan wrote: "The cutest Scottish Imports!"

"Well !!! Friendship is something that is always good for our soul. Beautiful photography. Lulu," said another.

A third quipped: "Bonnie Wee Pair, Weagie & Dundonian. Stay cosy."

"Almost Burns night too ! a wee dram for the bard !," someone else penned.

In an excerpt from Cox's new autobiography, he reveals he passed on iconic roles in Game of Thrones and other series.

Brian said: "Game of Thrones went on to be a huge success and everybody involved earned an absolute fortune, of course. But when it was originally offered the money was not all that great, shall we say.

"Plus I was going to be killed off fairly early on, so I wouldn’t have had any of the benefits of the long-term effects of a successful series where your wages go up with each passing season."

In early 2022, Lulu revealed she had made drastic health changes after getting a shocking result from the doctors regarding high cholesterol levels.

The star admitted that she threw away ice-cream from her freezer and stopped putting butter on sandwiches as well as starting to include cholesterol-lowering foods as part of her everyday diet.
