‘Succession’ Star Brian Cox Blasts ‘Woke Culture’

“Succession” star Brian Cox blasted “woke culture” and millennials who he said happen to be the current arbiters online that are “shaming” people and trying to cancel those with who don’t agree with them.

During the 77-year-old actor’s appearance on Tuesday’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the legendary Scottish actor talked about his career and agreed with the host that the current state of the world is upsetting.

“Are things worse now, or is our perception of life worse because of things like social media, inflaming everything?” Morgan asked.

Cox said, “social media” doesn’t help and said it “hinders rather than helps.”

“And I think it points up two readily inadequacies that we can actually — and the whole woke culture, I think is truly awful,” the HBO star added.

Morgan and Cox agreed on how awful the “shaming culture” is, as the host noted the “incessant need to shame and bury people.”

“I don’t know where it comes from? the “Braveheart” star replied. “Who are the arbiters of these — this shaming. And it’s very hard to pin them down. And it turns out it’s usually a bunch of millennials.”

“I suppose in a way they’re probably saying, ‘Well, you’ve all screwed it up, so we may as well do something about it,'” Cox continued. “But it’s from the wrong principle. It’s the wrong — comes from the wrong place.”

The host replied, “And who gave them the halos?”

The “Troy” star previously defended famed “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling from those he called her “high-and-mighty” critics over her support of biological women.

“I don’t like the way she’s been treated, actually,” the Emmy award winner said. “I think she’s entitled to her opinion; she’s entitled to say what she feels. As a woman, she’s very much entitled to say what she feels about her own body, and there’s nobody better to say that, as a woman.”

“So, I do feel that people have been a bit high-and-mighty about their own attitude towards J.K. Rowling, quite frankly,” he added.

He’s also previously slammed the censorship by the woke culture of things like Roald Dahl’s novels, calling it “disgraceful” and more.

"We can't start rewriting works of literature because it suits our so called moral code."

‘Will I Be Angry And Bitter?’: Geraldo Hints He Might Bash Fox News On ‘The View’

Recently-ousted Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera suggested he might have some unpleasant things to say about his former employer – and hinted that he might spill some of them on Thursday’s broadcast of “The View.”

Rivera made the comments in a video he posted to social media on Wednesday, when he revealed that he was scheduled to appear on the ABC midday talk show the following day – and he mused about the possible answers to questions the hosts might be itching to ask him.

Another epic boat ride from Hampton Bays, Long Island to Chelsea Piers in Manhattan’s West Side. Heading for #TheView tomorrow. Don’t know whether I’m angry at Fox or excited about the future. I’ll figure it out. Thanks,” he captioned the video.

“Heading into New York — another epic occasion. I’ll be doing ‘The View’ on ABC at 11:00 tomorrow morning, Thursday morning,” Rivera began. “Right now, I’m off the coast of Hampton Beach — it’s a lovely day — the ocean is still relatively flat, still a little bumpy.”

Rivera then proceeded to lay out a series of questions – questions to which he said he still didn’t have answers – that the hosts might ask, especially regarding his recent exit from Fox News.

“The issue for me is, what’s my message when I get to ‘The View’? Will I be angry and bitter over being fired from Fox News, from ‘The Five’? Will I be resigned to my future? Will I know what my future holds?” he asked. “It’s a very exciting time to be doing ‘The View’ because, the day before, I still don’t know the answers to the questions — the life questions that I’m posing.”

“But I’d appreciate it if you’d watch,” he concluded before turning his attention back to the task at hand: “Wish you were here on the mighty vessel Belle. I’m going about 25 knots; about 27, 28 miles per hour. Beautiful day — it’s supposed to get a little windy a bit later, but for now, it’s gorgeous. Wish you were here. Thank you.”
