Hollywood legend and star of the hit HBO show “Succession” Brian Cox has told the “woke” culture warriors to pound sand in an interview with Piers Morgan.
Cox blasted efforts by the “woke” mob to cancel anyone that disagrees with the leftist agenda.
“The whole woke culture is truly awful,” Cox told Morgan.
“Who are the arbiters of this shaming?
“It turns out it’s usually a bunch of millennials.”
“What I can’t stand, I can’t stand the way we want to rewrite history.
“I can’t stand the way we don’t want to acknowledge history and it’s so important to acknowledge what our history is because that defines who we are.
“And where we’ve got to go and without an acknowledging history we are screwed.
“You’re well and truly screwed.”

According to Variety:
“Succession” has made Emmy history with its three lead actors, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, and Jeremy Strong, all earning nominations for lead actor in a drama — the most nods ever for a single show.
Since the show’s premiere in 2018, the first three seasons of “Succession” have received 13 Emmys out of 48 nominations.
Strong won the lead actor Emmy in 2020 and was also nominated in 2020, beating his co-star Cox both years.
This year marks Culkin’s first lead actor nomination, and he was up for supporting actor in 2020 and 2022.
Last year, “Succession” made Emmy history for the most acting nods ever, with 14 acting nominations out of 25 total nods.
Culkin, Nicholas Braun, and winner Matthew Macfadyen were all up for supporting actor in a drama in 2022, while J. Smith-Cameron and Sarah Snook were both nominated for supporting actress.
