Giving his followers a scenic peek into Saturday nighttime at Black Isle in Scotland, Cumming shared with all an impromptu performance of his own. With his flamboyant personality and Broadway background, the actor shared a lively clip of himself laying on a hillside belting out ‘It’s Saturday Night On Broadway,’ with oil rigs towering at a distance in the background. The clip with so many trademarks of his was a reaction from all who love his glittering unabashed joy.

Cumming points emphatically at the oil rigs, as though they were his audience that night. The rugged Black Isle landscape is a befitting background for an impromptu serenade, with glitz of an actor thrown together with raw beauties of the Scottish Highlands. The wind blowing through his hair added so much more drama to the whole thing.

This post really struck a chord for many, especially with those who have Scottish ties. One user went wild with the perspective, saying he was ready to pack and come across while others would very well remind him that it can indeed be shady weather. Another local mentioned she just served coffee to a film crew from The Traitors down the road and suggested Cumming stop by.

A few people got a little sentimental, with one respondent admitting to having left their heart in Scotland, another reminiscing about their own Black Isle holiday while joking about hoping to spot Cumming on their trip! The actor’s dog, Lala, was also mentioned by a fan who sent hugs to them both.

This untamed joy from Cumming triggers a few waves of nostalgia from one fan who mentioned that they, too, were belting the same Broadway tune only yesterday. Another paid tribute to him for ‘Braveheart’ and gave a funny contrast of Scotland’s torrid past versus the blissful folly displayed in Cumming’s video.

Short as it was in duration, the clip stands as a brilliant instance of how Cumming can take a barren, empty and windy hillside and convert it into a clean and proper theatre. Whether it be Broadway or into the cold chills of the Scottish holler, this energy of his is infectious. For those missing live gigs a bit, this is a small yet satisfying dose of Cumming charisma.

These comments were evidence to how Cumming is flexibly still entwined with Scotland after having a career that has taken him around the world. Joking about the weather to heartfelt cries and declarations from the Scots, keen themselves to appreciate both the place and the person. On the contrary, this crisp snapshot proving a breezy Saturday night shows Cumming has a show perched somewhere within him, whether in a theater or not- all he really needs is a hill and some wind!
