He is best-known for his roles as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor X in the original X-Men trilogy, but the knighted Shakespearean actor has taken a turn towards the obscure as he dons jeans, check shirt and a cowboy hat this week.

He has certainly wholly embraced the new character, as can be seen from this post he shared yesterday for Independence Day:

 

Patrick also shared a hilarious video of him singing classic western songs, including the likes of ‘Rawhide’, ‘Ghost riders in the sky’, ‘Whoopie Ti Yi Yo’, ‘Ringo’, and ‘El Paso’. The accompanying voiceover comments: ‘Sometimes it takes an Englishman to teach us what’s great about being an American.’
 

He is certainly giving his all and having a great aul time with the whole thing. Croon on Patrick Stewart, croon on.
