Logan Roy, the firebrand of “Succession,” unleashes a verbal inferno!
In an explosive interview on “The Starting Line Podcast,” the legendary Brian Cox, aged 77, set tongues wagging with his scathing take on religion.
“Religion holds us back,” Cox declared, his words slicing through belief systems like a sharpened dagger.
Cox challenged the very essence of faith: “What is God but a construct we’ve molded to control and dominate?”
No topic was off-limits as Cox dove headfirst into the patriarchy, declaring, “We must honor women, not bind them to archaic myths like Adam and Eve!”
With no filter, Cox branded the Bible “one of the worst books ever,” igniting a firestorm of controversy.
Yet, in the midst of his diatribe, Cox conceded that some crave religion for guidance, but not at the cost of truth.
The Emmy-winning Cox, famed for roles in “Braveheart” and “Churchill,” is no stranger to controversy.
But this was just the tip of the iceberg. Buckle up for the backstory that will leave you speechless!
Born in Dundee, Scotland, Cox’s journey to stardom was far from easy.
Raised by his widowed mother, Cox found solace in the world of theater, escaping the harsh realities of life through acting.
His breakout role in “Manhunter” catapulted him to fame, but it was his electrifying performance in “Braveheart” that cemented his status as a Hollywood heavyweight.
Off-screen, Cox’s personal life was a rollercoaster of triumphs and tribulations.
Marriages came and went, each leaving its mark on the enigmatic actor.
But through it all, Cox remained steadfast in his commitment to his craft.
Now, back to the present, where Cox’s verbal onslaught shows no signs of slowing down.
Not content with criticizing religion, Cox turned his sights on his “Succession” co-star, Jeremy Strong.
Strong’s method acting came under fire as Cox unleashed a barrage of expletives, labeling it “annoying” and “f–king gifted.”
The tension between Cox and Strong mirrors the drama of “Succession” itself, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
With Cox, there’s never a dull moment. Strap in and hold on tight for the ride of a lifetime!
On the podcast, Cox further went on to say that he’s not optimistic the conflict in the Middle East – especially between Israel and Hamas – will ever stop “because of belief systems.”
“It’s all about this notion of God, the idea that there’s a God that takes care of us all. There’s no such thing,” Cox said on Sunday.
“It’s about us, and we don’t examine ourselves nearly enough. We don’t look at who we are. We’re always looking outside of ourselves, instead of looking inside ourselves.”
