In the movie
‘Braveheart’, the story of the First War of Scottish Independence is told. ‘Braveheart’ features the actor Mel Gibson
who plays the infamous Scottish warrior, William Wallace. The film won Best Picture, Best Director,
Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, and Best Sound Editing at the 68th
Academy Awards. Throughout the film, Mel Gibson is wearing the traditional
Scottish kilt. His knees and legs are
clearly seen throughout the movie. Although
this film won many awards and Mel Gibson has lovely knees, there was no mention
of knee porn related to the wearing of the kilt.

When James
McAvoy (X-Men) wore a kilt to an after party following the Royal Film
Performance and the World Premiere of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ in 2005, there
was no mention of knee porn on the television talk shows.

Gerard
Butler (Lara Croft, How to Train Your Dragon) dressed in a brown leather kilt, pink
shirt, untied army boots and carried a sword at a Scottish Evening of Fashion
and Fun at Copacabana in New York City in 2005.
Although those in attendance had a good laugh at Gerard’s expense, the
internet did not light up with kneeporn articles.

At the
Johnnie Walker ‘Dressed to Kilt 2007’ fashion show at the Capitale Theater in
New York City, Tony Curran (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) wore a
plaited green kilt and danced a jig down the runway. Twitter was not all a-twitter with #Kneeporn
tweets.

Yet, on
August 9, 2014, the first episode of Starz’ Outlander premiered. Since that day, Knee Porn has become a social
media buzz word. In fact, a search of
Twitter using the hashtag #kneeporn shows that Chelle
Yodogawa @kykico posted it on September 1,
2014. She said “Is anyone else pausing
the stable scene and trying to get a peek under the kilt?” #kneeporn #OutlanderCAN @Heughan @Writer_DG

This tweet was in reference to “the kilt” worn by
the character Jamie Fraser who is played by actor Sam Heughan. Heughan’s portrayal of Jamie Fraser has taken
the internet by storm. Facebook groups
have sprung up with overwhelming numbers of adoring fans. Photos of Sam in every different possible
situation are being passed around social media.
Memes are being created and photo collages are being displayed.

Though most of Mr. Heughan’s rather magnificent physique
has been displayed in the storyline of the show, it is his knees that have
caused the most conversation online. One
woman said, “Jamie was covered in blood,
and all I can see is his knees….” There
have been offers to marry Sam’s knees. People
are thanking God for “the” knees.
Instead of drawing attention to their abs, men are taking pictures of
the sexy knees. Michele Watkins
#watkinsteam tweeted, “We hit
the motherlode!! #kneeporn #Outlander.”

Season Three of Outlander is being filmed in Scotland and
South Africa. It is expected to air on Starz in April 2017, barring any
complications during filming. The
producers have promised to delight its audience with more adventures, intrigue
and romance. No doubt, there will be
more opportunities for viewers to have a “wee” glimpse of Jamie Fraser’s knees
here and there. Just how far these
devoted Outlander fans will go with their #KneePorn addictions is yet to be
determined. It will certainly be amusing
to watch as this phenomenon continues to unfold. Expect an overload of photos of hairy, sexy
legs.
