Brian Cox lashes out at Hollywood’s A-listers in showbusiness

Brian Cox has recently slammed some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

The Scottish actor, who claims to fame with media mogul Logan Roy in Succession, revealed why he turned down role of the governor in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Brian admitted he did not want to work alongside Johnny Depp because he noted the actor is “so overblown' and so overrated”.

The Troy star also lashed out at Edward Norton, calling him “pain in the a**e,” while he also took aim at Kevin Spacey, branding him “a stupid, stupid man”.

Interestingly, Brian criticised Ian McKellen over his acting because he “was not to his taste”.

The actor also expressed his frustration over his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong’s acting approach, calling him “annoying” in her new interview with The Times.

Meanwhile, Brian, who tied the knot with Nicole Ansari-Cox in 2002, shared his concerns about his approach to life.

“I don't want to be careful anymore! I'll be 80 this year. I'm gonna say what I want to say,” added the Braveheart actor.
