Brian Cox hits out at ‘woke nonsense’ after losing temper in rehearsals
Succession star slams ‘woke’ culture as he receives criticism
- Brian Cox has defended his temper outbursts during rehearsals, dismissing criticism as "woke nonsense".
- The actor was reportedly reported to Equity last year following an incident during rehearsals for 'A Long Day’s Journey Into Night'.
- Cox argued that actors of his generation commonly lost their temper, contrasting it with modern intolerance for such behaviour.
- Co-stars from 'Succession', including Sarah Snook, Peter Friedman, and J Smith-Cameron, have previously described Cox's on-set presence as "terrifying" or "frightening".
- Cox clarified that when he loses his temper, it is directed at himself rather than others.
