Churchill movie: Family Guy's Stewie Griffin inspired Brian Cox's role
Over the years there have been many different incarnations of Winston Churchill portrayed on screen.
The latest is Brian Cox in Churchill, which follows the WW2 prime minister in the weeks leading up to D-Day – as he battles both his depression and doubts about the invasion.
However it may come as surprise that the actor’s inspiration for his version of the iconic Brit was based on a famous cartoon character.
The 71-year-old revealed to The Times that he based his Churchill on Stewie Griffin from Family Guy.
