Sarah Snook Reveals Brian Cox's 'Terrifying' Rages on 'Succession' Set

Sarah Snook, who stars in HBO's "Succession," has shared her experiences working with co-star Brian Cox, detailing the intense moments on set due to Cox's "diabetic rage." Snook described these episodes as sometimes "terrifying," noting that Cox, who has type two diabetes, could become particularly intense, with his voice reaching thunderous levels. While she remarked on the fear these outbursts could invoke, she also expressed uncertainty about whether these rages were genuine or not.

Brian Cox, who plays the formidable Logan Roy on the show, has himself acknowledged his challenges with diabetes and the resulting irritability when his blood sugar levels are unbalanced. This condition, often leading to what he referred to as being "hangry," has been noted by other cast members as well. Kieran Culkin, who portrays Roman Roy, has drawn parallels between Cox's on-set intensity and the volatility of his on-screen character.

These insights into the dynamic on the "Succession" set have come to light as Snook also shared her own reservations about joining the show, which she feared might lead to her being typecast. Despite these challenges, both actors have received acclaim for their performances, with the show itself garnering significant critical and award recognition.
