Actor Brian very fortunate (7)
I believe the answer is:
blessed
'fortunate' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blessed that I've seen before include "Happy; beatified" , "Bedless (anag.)" , "Consecrated" , "Made lucky - made holy" , "Sanctified" .)
