Without a doubt, one of the best compliments a film or television actor can receive is that people become passionate about their fictional character. The only bad thing is that sometimes even fans get fascinated by a slogan and ask the actor if they meet it in real life.
One of the last cases of this simultaneous blessing and curse is the protagonist of the series Succession, Scot Brian Cox, who plays Logan Roy, is the founding billionaire of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo.

fed up and uncomfortable
Brian Cox isn’t afraid to admit he’s fed up with his fan requests. He says he spends his time listening to people asking him to fuck him, “And that’s not the easiest thing for people to do.”
The 76-year-old actor told a panel discussion ahead of the latest Emmy Awards: “It’s embarrassing. It’s not the easiest thing to do. I remember it started when I played the character of a former American president on the New York stage. One day. I went out on the street and there was a very young, very sweet couple who asked me to tell them to go fuck themselves while they were filming me. It’s unusual! “
He also recalled a more unusual anecdote: “The worst thing was once in Los Angeles, when I went to a meeting with Ronan Farrow about an issue related to the #MeToo movement and a book he was launching. Hollywood and it was a very intense debate. Suddenly one of them recognizes me and asks me to send them to hell. And I told them to remember it was a #MeToo meeting and it didn’t seem appropriate because they could cancel me. “
