Writer Irivine Welsh, 61, has suggested cinemagoers may have to wait until 2038 to see how the former junkie pals are getting along as OAPs.

Bremner, who played Spud in the 1996 original and 2017 follow-up T2, said: "These characters live on in people's imaginations and dwell in their consciousness in a way that's unusual.

"In Scottish culture there was never anything really like it before.

"It's a richly-created world Irvine Welsh made and plotted out that people latched onto."

Welsh has said he's keen for a third flick but that the characters "will be in a rest home by the time we get the bottle".
