Brian Cox Unloads on Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Strong and Why the Oscars Are “Nonsense”

Who??

I'm sure if he got nominated he'd be the first one there begging for attention.

“Cox Unloads on Kevin Spacey” was not an accident

The guys just seems like the biggest asshole.

I almost admire his bitchiness and damming praise.

He reminds me of a more butch Gore Vidal.

Both excellent in their field, both cunts.

Why don’t you help get Kevin a job?

That was a good interview. I don't think he unloaded on anyone. He was great in Adaptation.

He never gives a bad interview.

And yes, r8, there was no unloading. He don’t even take the bait when asked about Steven Seagal.

Yet he still comes off as very straightforward, albeit in a no-fucks-given blustery way.

"Ba da ba ba ba" (he is the voiceover on the McD commercials )

He does ads for McRibs. He can sit the fuck down.

What's your point, r11?

Brian Cox just speaks honestly without doing the PR approved bullshit speak. He has earned the right to be that way.

r11 and?

Love him!

How misleading (click bait) that the article headline says he 'unloads' on Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Strong. He didn't at all - not even remotely. Weird.

Brian Cox is awesome.

Didn't he play Uncle Argyle in Braveheart? He came riding up on that white horse.

Nobody needs or wants Spacey to come back, the old male Hollywood guard needs to let that go.

Not surprised to learn from this article that Jeremy Strong used to be Daniel Day Lewis’s assistant. That explains a LOT.

One of Brian Cox's best roles is as King Agamemnon in "Troy" (2004). He brought a ferocious energy to the role.

Didn’t he play a pedo, or an American Nazi? Or was it a Nazi pedo?

Yeah I guess that makes him a bad person, r20. Maybe he's even a pedo Nazi in real life! Thanks for reminding us that he's unworthy of respect.

I was trying to recall the movie, not castigate him, asshole

[quote]I almost admire his bitchiness and damming praise.

Me too! And I don't think he criticized Jeremy Armstrong exactly - he just said his method wasn't his cup of tea. And given his consistent "no fucks to give" attitude, he clearly finds it all tedious, which it probably is. I like the guy. He *is* Logan Roy - no acting required!

He seems to have a large amount of empathy, something I imagine is important for an actor.

About his performance in Churchill compared to Okdman. I've seen neither, but read Oldman was hammy. This is as critical as he gets in tge interview.

[QUOTE]So my film never even got a look, and I still think my performance is a better performance.

He's unapologetically liberal/socialist. I remember first seeing him the [italic]The Lost Language of Cranes[/italic] playing the secretly gay father of the main character.

Excellent in his youth with jet black hair in In Celebration with Alan Bates and James Bolam.

1974.. must have been the first film I ever saw him in / 50 years ago

78 years old... he's never stopped working I guess.

He was hot as Hannibal Lecter. Also as a non native english speaker he speaks the most beautiful form of english I have ever heard

What he said about Kevin Spacey was certainly not "unloading" on him. I think he was quite cordial toward him.

I find Kevin Spacey creepy, very unattractive and lecherous.

I find him rather tiresome and "Succession" was just a collection of self-involved, unlikable characters. Cox has a CBE so he isn't averse to questionable awards. It seems like every working actor his age has some of those royal initials.

R28, Brian Cox is a non-native English speaker? Since when? He was born and raised in Scotland.

Wasn't he doing commercials a couple of years back? Low-rent Patrick Stewart if I recall?

I think r28 was referring to himself, r32.
