Sir Patrick Stewart. British acting royalty, star of screen and stage and… country singer. Who knew it?
This divergence from his usual career is all in aid of charity International Rescue Committee.
In the video, Sir Patrick reveals his surprising vocal talents, singing cowboy classics including Rawhide and Ghost Riders In The Sky.
The green screen really earned its keep on this shoot, transporting Sir Patrick to a range of glamorous locations.

You can actually buy the CD with all proceeds to the International Rescue committee.
Unfortunately the double disc is sold out at the moment, but don’t worry, you can still purchase a selection of five songs.

It even has a Christmas song on it!
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
