His bespoke suits and unflappable charm epitomized 1960s English eccentricity. As The Avengers' John Steed, Patrick Macnee fought killer robots and murderous plants with amused nonchalance, keeping calm amidst chaos even as his celebrity skyrocketed. But behind the absurdity of the show's storylines lay an actor harboring his own reallife eccentricities far stranger than any TV plot. What was Macnee's utterly incongruous secret pastime he indulged in when the cameras stopped rolling?

This offbeat FactsVerse video unravels the double life of a star who openly defied conventions and embraced taboos that utterly contradicted his role as Steed. As you'll discover, Patrick Macnee nurtured a hobby wildly incongruous with both his public fame playing a character defined by propriety and his officerandagentleman background. Intrigued? Keep watching to go behind the eccentric fiction Macnee portrayed on The Avengers straight into his own eccentric reality.

From his unconventional childhood being raised in a lesbian household to launching an acting career playing stiff upperlip Brits, we chart how Macnee was primed to flout norms from early on. You'll learn how as The Avengers turned him into a global sensation, he secretly petitioned to overturn nudity taboos, shockingly inviting his female costars to strip off clothes between takes! .

With Macnee's help, nudity restrictions gradually relaxed in swingin' sixties London allowing him to openly indulge at naturist resorts during breaks from playing Steed. This FactsVerse exclusive reveals how double life duality granted him total liberation starring as a character representing English respectability by day, while privately upending propriety norms by night.

So if you want an eyeopening glimpse into how celebrity and eccentricity intermingled for this Avengers icon, don't miss our offbeat retrospective. We promise you'll never see John Steed the same way again after learning what Patrick Macnee practiced when he wasn't acting!
