There’s no doubt that Brian Blessed is a National Treasure. He’s a great actor and raconteur and he’s quite the adventurer too, having tried to climb Mount Everest on three occasions (without oxygen, obviously) and being the oldest man to have reached the North Pole on foot (where he claims to have punched a polar bear on the nose).
He’s also the absolute GOAT when it comes to deploying swear words, a true Prince of Profanity, thanks to his huge booming voice.
So in the month in which he’s just celebrated his 89th birthday, what better way to mark the occasion than by watching this compilation video of some of his best swearing, shared by The Sting over on Twitter?
Happy Birthday to National Treasure, Brian Blessed
Here’s Brian swearing like a magnificent bastard. pic.twitter.com/hzhOUdQf2L— The Sting (@TheStingisBack) October 9, 2025
Sheer potty-mouthed excellence!

I loved the story of him being a speaker at a farmers union night or some such & getting into an argument with them & shouting into the microphone, ‘You’re all a bunch of cunts…’ ☺️

If there’s ever gonna be a biopic about him, I want him to be played by Matt Berry.

He really should have been knighted by now. Sir Bastarding Brian Bollocking Blessed. That’s his full name.

The national treasure to end all national treasures. The genius that is Brian Blessed. Out of everyone on this planet he would be the most hilarious drinking partner for a night out. Top man

Happy Birthday, Brian.
I have always loved his story about punching a Polar Bear.
