Brian Cox Shares Brutally Honest Opinions on Margot Robbie, Johnny Depp and More
Cox said he turned down a Pirates of the Caribbean role to avoid Depp and also criticized McKellen, Norton and Tarantino in the interview.
In an interview published Friday, 79-year-old actor Brian Cox criticized several high-profile Hollywood figures, stating he no longer cares if his bluntness costs him friendships.
Cox explained he avoided the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise because he deemed Johnny Depp 'so overblown, so overrated,' while also questioning the casting of Margot Robbie in the new 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation.
Promoting his directorial debut 'Glenrothan,' Cox labeled Quentin Tarantino 'meretricious,' called Kevin Spacey 'a stupid, stupid man,' and described Ian McKellen's acting as 'not to my taste.'
Addressing his method acting feud, the actor admitted he has not contacted Daniel Day-Lewis, despite past friction involving his former 'Succession' co-star Jeremy Strong's approach.
Dismissing concerns about his reputation, Cox asserted, 'I'm gonna say what I want to say,' while also critiquing the American patriarchy and its impact on women in leadership roles.
