Actor Brian is very fortunate (7)
I believe the answer is:
blessed
'fortunate' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blessed that I've seen before include "Made lucky - made holy" , "Endowed" , "Bedless (anag.)" , "Consecrated" , "Highly favoured or fortunate" .)
