Brian Cox Unfiltered: Actor's Candid Remarks on Hollywood Stars and Personalities
Brian Cox recently made headlines for his candid remarks about various actors and personalities in a wide-ranging interview. The Succession actor didn't hold back as he criticized Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman, Ian McKellen, Edward Norton, Kevin Spacey, Margot Robbie, Quentin Tarantino, and President Donald Trump. Cox expressed his opinions on each individual, labeling Depp as "overblown" and "overrated," calling Oldman's performance in Darkest Hour "nonsense," and describing Norton as "a pain in the arse." He also shared his thoughts on McKellen, Spacey, Robbie, Tarantino, and Trump, offering blunt assessments of each.
Despite his outspoken nature, Cox recently filmed a new series of ads for McDonald's Happy Meals, showcasing his versatility as an actor. He is currently promoting his new film, Glenrothan, which he directed. Cox has previously faced backlash for criticizing his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong's method acting, but he acknowledged Strong's talent in his latest interview. When asked if his outspokenness has affected his personal or professional life, Cox defiantly stated that he is unapologetic about speaking his mind at the age of 80. He emphasized that he will continue to express his opinions without reservation.
