He didn't say anything bad about Lewis. He said his costar, Strong, took inspiration from Lewis and was disruptive with his method acting.
He added that Lewis never disrupted the process with his method acting. In fact, it's a compliment to Lewis and a diss to Strong.
The only thing he said about Robbie was that she was too beautiful for that role. He said he knew the book, so maybe he's on to something, but it certainly isn't a diss either.
Horrible headline.

90% when you hear an actor is “method acting” it’s an excuse to be an a****** on set

So all those scenes in Succession where Logan Roy looks at Kendall like he’s something he needs to scrape of his shoe, Brian Cox isn’t acting- Cox is the one who went method or maybe Jesse Armstrong and Strong planned for Cox to be so pissed off by Strong that it showed in every interaction.

Unfortunately this is the new journalism. Honestly I think what happens is a writer grabs a full transcript of an interview, drops it in ChatGPT and has AI generate as many articles as possible and then boom off you go.

Even if what he says is true -grandstanding about age as if it gives his words gravitas is not an argument that holds water. It simply highlights how little he has learned in his 80 years about understanding we all have faults, accepting them and moving the f*** on.

I love Brian Cox on screen, but I really can give two fucks about a guy’s opinion on method acting when he plays pretty much the same guy in everything he’s ever in. If it helps people deliver great performances, let ‘em be weird to get there. Deal with it and stop whining. Not gonna change anything.

Sure but what he was talking about being a disruption. Any collaborative work is tough as it is then you have someone arbitrarily slowing the process cuase they want to flex the limits of there imagination. I forget who said it but someone say, "actors only go method when they play an a****** or can inconvenience the crew, never when they play a nice person.
