What’s behind the Brian Cox remarks?
In the many years we have been interviewing actors, directors and producers we’ve been privy to many revelations. But what we have found is that the upcoming and younger stars are very guarded in their comments and opinions which often makes for a vanilla interview and we’ve never been ones for the trend of asking stars what are their favourite flavour crisps. It’s been the older stars and directors with a huge back catalogue and long established careers that are the most fun and some of the things we’ve been told are hilariously inappropriate but unfortunately unrepeatable. One of the actors who has reached that level of just not caring what he says is the inimitable and fabulous Brian Cox. And here we’ve collated several Brian Cox remarks that have caused outrage!
Here’s those Brian Cox remarks…..
Edward Norton : “A pain in the arse.”
Kevin Spacey : “A stupid, stupid man.”
Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights: “Margot Robbie is far too beautiful for that role.”
Ian McKellen : He was relatively polite saying the rather beloved Lord of the Rings actor’s performances are “not to my taste.”
Johnny Depp : Cox said he turned down a role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise because he didn’t want to work with the actor, whom he called “so overblown, so overrated.”
Gary Oldman : Cox worked with the Slow Horses star on the Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour, for which Oldman won an Oscar for best actor. Cox called Oldman’s performance “cobblers” (Scottish slang for “nonsense”) and “a crowd-pleasing farrago” (meaning a “mishmash”).
Quentin Tarantino: “Meretricious” (defined as “apparently attractive but having in reality no value or integrity”). Cox added, “[When directing] I like to honor the actor’s performance. With a Quentin Tarantino film, what you see is all Quentin Tarantino.”
Donald Trump: “Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people. He’s only interested in the oil [in Iran]. There’s just sheer fucking greed motivating him, nothing else. The idea he’s liberating people is a nonsense.”
Jeremy Strong. Cox has called Strong’s method acting “fucking annoying.” ……“I don’t hold a lot of the American shit, having to have a religious experience every time you play a part. It’s crap. The thing about Jeremy’s approach is it works in terms of what comes out the other end. My problem — and, it’s not a problem, I don’t have a problem with Jeremy because he’s delightful. … He’s an extraordinary dad. He’s a pretty unique individual. But, he does get obsessed with the work. And I worry about what it does to him, because if you can’t separate yourself — because you’re dealing with all of this material every day. You can’t live in it. Eventually, you get worn out.” but then added…. “I don’t want to go on about Jeremy, because I’ve got into a lot of problems and he’s begged me to stop talking about him. He’s a good actor, Jeremy.”
We’re pretty sure that there will be more Brian Cox remarks to come as the actor hits his 80th birthday.
