Brian Cox says Rupert Murdoch — the IRL Logan Roy — has been watching too much ‘Succession’

LA Times  

Brian Cox had some choice words for the now-former head of Fox Corp. and News Corp., Rupert Murdoch — the real-life counterpart to Cox’s “Succession” character, Logan Roy. “I think he’s been watching too much ‘Succession,’ clearly,” Cox told the BBC. there’s all kinds of rumors about how was supposed to have told Jerry Hall to ‘please do not talk to the writers of “Succession.”’ This could all be heresy, so I don’t know.” Speaking about the 92-year-old Murdoch’s disposition, Cox said, “He’s probably the most tenacious human on God’s earth. I mean, he’s certainly done a lot of that in his life.” The 77-year-old actor also shared a story about how the husband of Elisabeth Murdoch — a daughter of the now-emeritus Fox chairman — once ran into him at a cafe and noted that “Succession” was “an interesting series.” The Murdoch in-law also pleaded, “Do you think maybe the writers could be a bit nicer to us next season?”
