Brian Cox Calls Johnny Depp “Overblown” and “Overrated” in His New Book

The Emmy nominee seems to be channeling his scathing Succession persona in his upcoming memoir, Putting the Rabbit in the Hat.

Cox, who declined a role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, writes of Depp: “Personable though I’m sure he is, is so overblown, so overrated.

I walked out of Pulp Fiction,” adding the caveat, “That said, if the phone rang, I’d do it.” He also takes aim at Steven Seagal, his Glimmer Man costar, who “is as ludicrous in real life as he appears onscreen.

Cox is more forgiving when it comes to Michael Caine: “I wouldn’t describe Michael as my favorite, but he’s Michael Caine.

But that’s the way it goes,” he tells The Big Issue, probably while wearing a pair of tinted shades.
