Kiefer Sutherland's combat boots

Why did Kiefer Sutherland wear such an atrocious ladies outfit on national television last week? We mean, the muddy combat boots he marched out in were mostly awesome, but what’s with the awful woman’s dress?

Apparently, the star of 24 lost a sports bet and had to wear an unflattering green dress on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Dave’s reaction: “Wow, wow. Oh my god. Wow, wow. Oh ho ho. Oh ho my god. You’re doing the remake of Beverly Hillbillies? You’re granny? What’s happening here?”

“Over the weekend I was so sure New England was going to win that I told a guy who used to be my friend that if New England lost, I would wear a dress on Letterman,” Sutherland confessed.

“But I mean if you’re going to commit to the dress, why not go all the way?” Letterman asked. “What about stockings and heels? Maybe a brooch? Maybe a necklace?”

“You shoulda seen me shopping for this thing today,” Sutherland quipped. “Not looking really butch now, am I?”

Well, no. Except for those military boots. Way to keep it real while publically humiliating yourself. Watch the full video below.
