Succession’s Brian Cox: ‘I was touched up by Princess Margaret’

[neuers]

I interviewed Logan Roy and we talked about his love of cannabis, his loathing of Trump and the time Princess Margaret felt him up. So just a typical day at the office, really https://t.co/SBRlzV3tj3

“It’s absolutely great and I recommend it to everyone - get stoned! It does make the politics easier to bear. It’s a way of dealing with idiocy.”

this killed me

He's right about it not being completely on the shoulders of the posh actors like Eddie, Damian, or Cumbersome... but there is something to be said for the posh ones who deny their privilege, if they do that, I don't care what their talent is - they are part of the problem to me, and not simply a result of it.

[aspacecake]

I feel that the posh actors aren't part of the problem PER SE, as in it's not their fault. Because a lot of those actors (like the one's he mentioned) are actually great actors, I'd be lying if I denied their talent.

But it does become a problem when they deny their privlege led them to where they are. They should be using their resoruces and their standing to lift working class actors up, but it shouldn't be all on them

[saemcrh]

That's what I mean though, they become part of the problem when they deny their privilege because that automatically reinforces the idea that only those who are 'worthy' get the opportunities, rather than it being those who have a whole lot of financial and status privilege backing them up.
