Was Kurt Russell "The Thing"?

Saw a theory about it yesterday.

The entire argument revolved around alcohol, specifically the bottle Kurt pours his drink from before dumping it into the computer



So the dog/thing shows up at the beginning and licks bennings gloves while being chased by the Norwegians. Then bennings gets shot by the Norwegians. Kurt Russell then runs to him, and hands him the bottle of scotch

Bennings puts his gloved hand on the bottle. We get the big speech later about how 1 cell of the thing can take over an entire organism

The theory goes, Russell drank from this bottle again at some point and the transformation began due to the dog slobber on the bottle

This one cell theory is heightened by
-Fuechs near immediate death after telling kurt they should only be eating out of cans cause the thing could take them over easily that way
-when they take Blair outside after he's axed a bunch of stuff, Kurt takes a drink from an alcohol bottle, then leaves it with him. By the end of the movie Blair is a thing

Then at the end, the bottle from the beginning, he gives to childs to drink. He laughs when he drinks it because he's turning him (hence the music kicking in). And ironically, his view of the things goal as being "waiting to freeze till a search party finds it" is what he decides to do at the end, telling childs they should "wait"

As for the blood test, argument was the thing could easily transform its body to have a hidden "pocket" with blood from the freezer that's wrecked earlier in the movie, and use it.

I'm still of the opinion Childs was a thing. But thought this was an interesting theory
