Kiefer Sutherland Wears a Dress on David Letterman

Kiefer Sutherland is a man after my own heart. Jack Bauer himself walked onto “The Late Show With David Letterman” dressed in one of the most hideous ensembles I’ve ever seen. The actor was sporting a spring dress, in a gross green color, with a very unflattering pattern. Why would he do this to himself you ask? It’s the age old answer to why all strange things happen in life, he lost a bet…

I’m not sure what was more hilarious, Letterman’s reaction to Sutherland’s dress or the actor’s inability to sit in it properly. He fidgeted the entire segment and made light of his unfortunate situation. It turns out that he made a bet with a friend that the New England Patriots would win a football game, and the wager was that if they lost Sutherland had to appear on Letterman in a dress. Obviously he got the short end of the stick, but being a man of his word like his alter ego Jack Bauer, he went through with it. It was embarrassing to see, but at least he did it on his terms. He sported some hairy legs and a pair of black combat boots to top it all off.

Letterman even joked that Kiefer should have gone all the way with heels and makeup, but the actor wasn’t having any of that. He didn’t really get to plug the season 8 premiere of “24” like he wanted to because the dress was so distracting. In case you missed it, the new season starts on Sunday, January 17th on Fox. There’s been a lot of talk regarding whether or not the actor will return for a ninth season of the show, and if you’re interested in finding out what he had to say visit, Will Kiefer Return for 24, Season 9?

And now, here’s Kiefer in a dress…

What do you think of Kiefer in a dress? Can you believe that he went through with it?
