Brian Cox has said Logan Roy, the character he plays in Succession, would \u201chate him\u201d if the pair ever met.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a lot of respect for Logan,\u201d said the Scottish actor, who is filming his fourth series as the foul-mouthed media mogul.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWhat I love about Logan is he’s self made. Unlike Trump, Murdoch, and Conrad Black he did it all himself. He’s a misanthrope, he’s kind of unhappy, and his curse is he loves his children. If he didn’t love his children life would be a lot easier.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one thing we have in common is a deep disappointment in the human experiment. We both think human beings are totally fucked. I’m an optimist \u2013 Logan is not. Logan would hate me, he’d think I’m tiresome and boring.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Logan met me he would say ‘I wish that Brian Cox would just shut the fuck up.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Cox told an audience at the Edinburgh TV festival that Logan Roy was originally going to be a Canadian billionaire, before a last-minute script change relocated him to Cox’s native Dundee.<\/p>\n
The actor said the show’s bosses thought it \u201cwould be a little surprise\u201d.<\/p>\n
