Brian Cox Blasts Hollywood Stars & Directors

0:00On April 3rd, Brian Cox is back at it, dropping brutal takes on his fellow actors in a fresh interview with the Times. The succession star went hard on Edward Norden, calling him a total pain, Margot Robbie and Johnny Depp, who he says is overrated and overblown. Cox even passed on a big role in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies just to avoid working with Depp. He didn't stop there, mocking Robbie's upcoming weathering Heights gig with a fake Aussie accent impression that had folks talking. Cox also shaded in McKellen's style as not his vibe. This comes after he's clashed with co-stars before, staying true to his no-fill to rep. Turning 80 this year, Cox shrugged off warnings from his wife to chill out. He basically said forget it, he's done playing nice and plans to speak his mind freely from here on. Fans and critics are buzzing, wondering if it'll hurt his gigs, but he seems unfazed. Cox saves some fire for directors too, blasting Michael Katen-Jones, David Hare and Quentin Tarantino as fake or worse.

1:03He contrasts that with his own directing style in his debut film Glenn Raffin, where he puts actors first over eagle trips. That movie, about two Scottish brothers fighting over their family whiskey empire and their tough dad, hits UK theaters April 17th with Cox and Alan Cumming starring. At his age, Cox is owning his truth and it's making waves and Hollywood circles. Pop culture, powered by AI. This is entertainment and celebrity news today. I'm Corey with The Story.
