Sir Billy Connolly has admitted that he had to tell fans to "f**k off" because fans asked him to.
The Scottish stand-up is famous for his foul language as part of his comedy routines. But he recently said that as a result of his crude comedy, he was approached by a fan who had a strange request for him to carry out.
Sir Billy, 80, said: “Whenever I’m out walking, I have to keep my eye out because I can be caught out. I was out one day in London and a guy came running up behind me.

"Billy! Billy! Could you sign an autograph for wee Gavin my grandson?’ ‘Sure.’ A wee boy came up beside us. I wrote on his wee paper: To Gavin – Best Wishes, Billy Connolly.
He continued: “Then I started walking away, and I heard: ‘Billy!… Billy! Sorry again to disturb you on your walk,’ he says. ‘But Gavin was wondering if you could tell him to f*** off.’
"‘Sure,’ I said. ‘Gavin? F*** off!’ The wee boy went ‘YESSS!’” But Billy said he also has to curse at punters who want to shake his hand – when he bumps into them in public loos.
He moaned: “Some of those male-dominated traditions make me uncomfortable. Like men’s toilets where men pee in a trough – it’s f**ing primitive, isn’t it?" he continued.
"Men sometimes come up to me while I’m peeing. ‘Are you Billy Connolly?’ ‘Yeah…’ ‘Oh hello!’ Hand out. ‘F** off!’.”
In his new book Rambling Man, Billy also revealed he’s been asked for autographs and selfies – while naked. He said: “In Queenstown, New Zealand I discovered one of the best laxatives known to man – bungee-jumping from a suspended platform into a gorge. And I did it naked.
“But when I got back onto the platform I felt as if I’d told a dirty joke to nuns because I was naked. All the people in the room wanted me to sign stuff – photos, books, albums –but I said, ‘You’ll have to excuse me – I feel awkward. I want to get my clothes back on.’
“And I could see some of them were checking out my willy, so I just stared back. ‘Yes? Can I help you?’”
