Cumming grew up on a country estate called Panmure Estate near Carnoustie on the east coast of Scotland. He describes the environment as "feudal".〔 In his autobiography ''Not My Father's Son'', Cumming describes emotional and physical violence his father inflicted on him in childhood.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alan Cumming Biography (1965–) )〕 His mother found it impossible to obtain a divorce until she was financially independent.〔 Cumming said that after he reached his early 20s, he did not have any communication with his father until just before the filming of his episode of the series ''Who Do You Think You Are?'' He then found out that his father had believed that Cumming is not his biological son.〔 Later, Cumming and his brother took DNA tests that proved they were indeed his biological children. Cumming said that his difficult childhood taught him how to act by "needing to suppress my own emotions and feelings around him (father ) when I was a little boy." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alan Cumming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
