5 Facts You Didn’t Know about Kevin Mckidd (Dr. Owen Hunt)

Dr. Owen Hunt, Chief of Surgery 

1. He’s from Elgin Scotland. This first one is a joke because there is literally no way you could miss this fact. Kevin Mckidd talks about the fact he is from Elgin Scotland in every single interview without fail. 

2. Post-train wreck Grey’s anatomy musical episode Kevin Mckidd was eager to continue on his musical journey. He released a folk song CD in 2012. In true Mckidd fashion every single track is a Scottish ballad. 

Accompanying this CD is an in depth documentary that follows Mckidd back to where it all started. You guessed it: Elgin Scotland. Where Kevin Mckidd is from. Kevin Mckidd is Scottish. Watch it here. 

Meredith Grey bought the CD, why haven't you?

3. Kevin’s first role was in the critically acclaimed film a Trainspotting, a film which chronicles the struggles of heroin addicts in Edinburgh. Unfortunately 3/4 of the way through the film  Kevin is killed off.  He meets a sticky end not by drugs, not by his insane ex-girlfriend and not by his violent heroin high friends, he is killed by a kitten. A kitten.

4. Prior to his role as Owen Hunt in Grey’s anatomy Kevin Mckidd starred alongside Patrick Dempsey (Dr. McDreamy sigh swoon) in the rom-com Made of Honour. Kevin plays a Scottish clan leader. No surprises there.

5. Kevin McKidd attended Queen Margaret University for drama. You know who else goes to Queen Maragret’s? I do. Kev and I are practically living the same life. 

To sum up you can expect to see me in the upcoming season of Grey’;s anatomy since there is literally no difference between Kevin Mckidd and my life. I hope to play his newest love interest since we have so much in common and we both love Scotland.

Regret

Pretty high up on the average person’s list of life goals is to live with no regrets. And the average person would say this aim fairly achievable. You would think being only 21 there would be few times I would feel truly regretful. You my friend would be wrong. 

They'll tell you I'm insane. 

1. Drunk dialing 

Put me in a room with a cellular device and a bottle of Glen’s and as sure as an Adele grammy nomination a drunk call is a mere two hours away. These calls target people I avoid talking to sober. 

Be it an ex-flame, stalker or American exchange students from the North if I haven’t spoken to them in person for a solid month you better believe they’ll be receiving a call.

2. My Instagram username (beth1234567898)

As unimaginative as it is long. 

p.s. This is not just a plug for followers #followforfollow

Pre-olympic 2008 training. 

3. Quitting Gymnastics 

I currently possess the flexibility of a plank of wood. Recently I attempted to demonstrate my intact tumbling prowess and smashed my face into the cold hard ground below Arthur’s seat. Oh how my friends laughed.

Just because Taylor can handle it, doesn't mean you can. 

4. My addiction to diet soft drinks

Slippery slope my friend. Think before you drink. 

5. Working as a receptionist

Despite being arguably the most introverted student in my entire high school I concluded my first job should involve greeting strangers and dealing with their rage over room pricing. The only reason I wasn't immediately fired was because my best friend's dad was the owner. 

6. Starting to bleach my hair 

Welcome to the sahara desert aka the moisture level of my hair. 

What are some of your biggest regrets my dear readers? Until next time xx
