Awesome Logan Roy in the series Succession (season 3 is currently airing on OCS), Brian cox doesn’t mince words when it comes to talking about fellow actors and directors.
The 75-year-old Scottish man has more than one story to tell and he’s not shy about expressing what’s on his mind in his autobiography Pushing the Rabbit in the Hat. What does it matter if it involves tackling Johnny Depp, Steven seagal, Edward Norton, but also Quentin Tarantino and David Bowie.
“I expect to never speak to some of these people againBrian Cox said.But it is so “.
Here are some extracts from this book which promises to be the most sulphurous:
Johnny Depp.
Brian Cox refused to play Governor in the first Pirates of the Caribbean. A choice he obviously does not regret: “… he’s so bloated and overrated. Look at Edward in the Silver Hands. Let’s be honest, if you walk in with hands like that and such a pale and scary complexion, you don’t have to do anything. And he doesn’t. nothing. And since then he has made even less effort “.
Steven Seagal.
Brian Cox appeared in The White Shadow in 1996 and was not at all impressed with the ponytail actor. “Steven Seagal is as ridiculous in real life as he is on screen. He radiates a studied serenity but he is in a plane much more perched than that of the others. Even if he’s on a different plane, no doubt about it, it’s not one that flies very high.t. “
Edward Norton.
Brian Cox rubbed shoulders with him in the 25th Hour by Spike Lee. “He’s a nice guy but he pisses everyone off by loving to put himself in this role of screenwriter, director.“
Quentin Tarantino.
Brian Cox is really not a fan of QT but he admits that he would respond immediately if he offered him a role. “I find his work excessive. Everything is superficial. Scenic mechanics where there should be depth. Style where there should be substance. I walked out of the room during Pulp Fiction … That said, if he calls me, I would say yes“.
David Bowie.
Brian Cox worked with Bowie on a series called Recap. “A skinny kid not exactly a good actor. He was a much better popstar, for sure“.
Brian Cox is certainly not going to be just buddies.
