Brian Cox is known for his straightforward and no-nonsense attitude, it’s part of his entire public persona. Even though the actor is an acting veteran, he wasn’t all that largely recognized on the streets. That changed when he joined ‘Succession’ and played the powerful and foul-mouthed character Logan Roy, which made him a household name.

In his latest THR feature the actor discussed the moment he realized he was famous, and it’s hilarious and totally something you would expect from Cox. Cox explained that while performing in ‘The Great Society’ at Lincoln Center in 2019, he was approached by young fans asking him to say “f*ck off,” which made him realize he had become widely recognized.

He reflected on how much he valued his anonymity before this sudden fame, and now, at his age, he struggles with not being able to do simple things like using public transport.
