Brian Cox says Succession co-star Jeremy Strong’s method acting is ‘American s***’

Brian Cox has once again taken aim at Jeremy Strong’s approach to acting, and this time blamed him successor Costar’s birthplace.

The Scottish actor, who plays Strong’s character’s father, Logan Roy, on the acclaimed HBO series, previously criticized his co-star’s methodical acting style during a now infamous New Yorker Interview published in 2021.

“I’m just worried about what he’s doing to himself. I worry about the crises he’s going through to prepare,” Cox told the magazine.

The 76-year-old has since doubled down on his comments, calling Strong’s method “fucking annoying” in an interview earlier this year.

In a newly published interview with diversity Prior to the show’s fourth season, Cox attributed Strong’s acting style to the culture in which he was raised and raised.

“It’s really a cultural clash,” said Cox. “I can’t stand all this American shit. I’m sorry. All that ‘I think therefore I feel’ kind of thing.”

“Just do the job,” he continued. “Not identify.”

Referring to famed method actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Cox said, “He retired at the age of 55, and I say, ‘That’s when the roles get really interesting. You’ve retired just when the roles are actually getting better!’

“Of course, Jeremy was Dan Day-Lewis’ assistant. So he learned all that stuff from Dan.”

However, Cox noted that he thought Strong was “a wonderful actor.”

Responding to Cox’s take on his acting style earlier this year, Strong said, “Everyone is entitled to have their feelings. I also think Brian Cox, for example, has earned the right to say what he wants.

The fourth season of successor begins March 26 and March 27 on HBO and Sky Atlantic, respectively.
