Brian Cox Just WENT OFF on Margot Robbie & Johnny Depp
Published April 3, 2026 at 4:31 pm
Brian Cox is doing what he does best: saying the quiet part out loud. The Succession legend just absolutely unloaded on some of Hollywood’s biggest names, and honey, he did NOT hold back.
The actor went there on Margot Robbie’s performance in a recent project, calling it underwhelming and questioning her range. But that wasn’t even the most brutal part. Cox also took aim at Johnny Depp, dragging the actor’s recent work choices and suggesting his days of being A-list material are long gone. Ouch.
This isn’t Cox’s first rodeo with the whole candid commentary thing. The guy has basically made a hobby of throwing shade at his peers, and honestly? We’re here for it. He’s not playing the fake nice guy game, and people either respect that or they don’t.
The timing is wild too — this comes as both Robbie and Depp are trying to rebuild their images after a rough few years. Cox’s comments are already circulating through Hollywood, and you KNOW everyone’s texting about it right now.
