Brian Cox is speaking out (again) about Jeremy Strong’s method acting approach — this time, implying that it caused an even bigger negative impact on the “Succession” cast than initially believed.

In his 2022 memoir, the 78-year-old veteran actor criticized stars like Johnny Depp, Steve Seagal, and director Michael Caton-Jones.

Cox also doubled down on his criticism of his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong ’s Method acting. He said Strong would be “an even better actor if he just got rid of that so there would be much more inclusiveness in what he did,” saying Strong’s approach wasn’t good for the acting ensemble – “it creates hostility.”

The actor has maintained that he thinks his former co-star would be a better actor if he ditched the method approach.

Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, co-stars on the critically acclaimed show Succession, have shared the screen in powerful roles. While Strong plays Cox’s on-screen son, the veteran actor has some thoughts on Strong’s method acting.
