Succession star Brian Cox blasts Joaquin Phoenix's performance in Ridley Scott's Napoleon, says he could've played the role better.
The Succession star continued, “A truly terrible performance by Joaquin Phoenix. It really is appalling. I don’t know what he was thinking. I think it’s totally his fault and I don’t think Ridley Scott helps him. I would have played it a lot better than Joaquin Phoenix, I tell you that. You can say it’s good drama. No — it’s lies.”What is Ridley Scott’s Napoleon about?
