Succession Star Brian Cox Is Sick Of Fans Asking Him To Tell Them To "F*** Off"

Brian Cox hates telling Succession fans to “f*** off”.

Cox, who portrays the cutthroat potty mouth billionaire Logan Roy on the HBO drama Succession, gets people asking him to say his character's rude catchphrase at them all the time, but he admits it's “not the easiest thing to say to people”.

During an Emmy Roundtable with the Hollywood Reporter, Cox, 76, said: “My thing is people ask me to tell them to f*** off all the time. Cox was joined by Michael Keaton (Dopesick), Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight, Scenes from a Marriage), Samuel L Jackson (The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), and Quincy Isaiah (Winning Time).

“Well, it’s not the easiest thing to say to people. I mean, it started when I was playing LBJ in one of those theatres in New York, I came out one night and there was this young couple, very sweet, about 17, and they had a video and they said, ‘Could you tell us to f*** off, please?’ I mean, it’s unbelievable.”

Cox recalled a time he found the demand to do an impression of the Waystar Royco boss a little inappropriate.

He said: “But the worst was here in LA when I went to a meeting for Ronan Farrow, a #MeToo thing. He was launching the book and all these Hollywood women were there and it was very intense.

“And I was standing at the back and then [the women] all turned around and saw me and they [pointed a] camera and said, ‘Can you tell us to f*** off?’ I was like, ‘This is a #MeToo meeting, is this really proper to be asking me to tell you to f*** off? And does that mean that I get cancelled?’”
