Brian Cox has defended losing his temper in rehearsals, calling backlash to his behaviour “woke nonsense”.
The 79-year-old played the short-tempered and formidable patriarch Logan Roy on the popular HBO series Succession, which followed a family-led media conglomerate Waystar Royco. His acting process has proven divisive with co-stars, such as Sarah Snook, who said the actor would fly into a “diabetic rage” on set, making it difficult to separate his character from the real Cox.
