Celebrity brian cox Professor Brian Cox

We love both Brian Coxes and this tale of when they both booked into the same hotel was simply magnificent

If you asked us which Brian Cox we prefer – the much acclaimed actor or the multi-garlanded astrophysicist then we simply couldn’t give you an answer.

We like them both the same amount, and that about is a lot.

And we liked them even more when they appeared on BBC Breakfast a couple of years back.

Specially, we loved the bit when Cox – the actor – told the story of trying to check into a hotel where the other Brian Cox – the spaceman – was also booked in.

And it’s surely the best 50 seconds you’ll spend today.

Glorious!
