The Succession star says he could have done a better job in the Ridley Scott film.
Succession star Brian Cox isn't holding back when it comes to his opinion about Ridley Scott 's Napoleon, especially star Joaquin Phoenix 's performance. During an appearance at London's HistFest on Sunday, Cox called the Academy Award-nominated film"terrible" and said that Phoenix's performance as the titular Napoleon was"appalling" before going on to say that he would have played the role better.
Cox also commented on Phoenix's name, tying its pronunciation to the"wacky" nature of his Napoleon performance.Napoleon wasn't the only film that drew criticism from Cox at the event. The actor also had commentary about the lack of historical accuracy in film more broadly when it comes to blockbusters and specifically brought up 1995's Braveheart, though he was kinder to Mel Gibson's performance in that film than he was about Phoenix's in Napoleon.
