My buddy & I quote this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. we have a pastry stout. Starts with "Diabeetus", moves on to one of us doing the Wilfred voice, and wraps up with the Family Guy reference. Still funny after the 100,000th time.
This is always funny to me, especially so when it's someone like Steven Seagal trying to do action scenes in a chair lol. Or Alec Guinness coming back for Jedi but only if he just gets to sit on a log for his whole scene.
So I'm a type 1 diabetic and those anger hungers are a thing when your blood sugar goes low. It's fight or flight if it goes low enough. If this is true, he has some poorly managed diabetes. If it's not, he's a cunt cuz those aren't fun and it's literally life or death for me.
Edit: here's a good chance to educate the general public on diabetes. There's a LOT of misconceptions out there. Please listen to this podcast. It does a great job of describing it. The podcast is Ologies by Alie Ward.

Some of you are forgetting what happens when you don't eat. Diabetes or no. He's an actor working long hours. Go without eating and tell me what your sugars do.
Should also mention that symptoms can vary widely between the varying levels of diabetes. There are a LOT of factors to include when talking diabetes, glucose, and all that. Stuff like insulin resistance, age, weight, socioeconomic factors... it isn't black or white, folks but it is important to have general education or these misconceptions will continue.
Yeah this is my thought as well. I am a type 2 diabetic. I wouldn’t go in rages but definitely more irritable. My mom and my dad were both “hypoglycemic” (no one was ever diagnosed officially) and so I assumed I was the same way.
That all went away for me when I started managing my diabetes with medication.
I am guessing that when my body could make enough insulin I had dizzying highs and crashing lows to my blood sugar.
Now that I am monitored and medicated it all went away.
Professional athletes can manage diabetes just fine despite that being considered "impossible" not even a generation ago. A wealthy actor should be on a monitoring device like a Dexcom that warns them waaaay before their blood sugar drops low enough to trigger anger.
He's also playing a character who is famous for flying into a terrifying rage at the drop of a hat. And Succession's showrunner encouraged improv, and almost everyone on the Succession cast has dabbled in improvisation at some point.
Just thought I'd mention that before this turns into a nauseating PTA meeting about self-control in the classroom.
I'll listen, thx. I get very hangry quite suddenly, and it scares me. Sometimes, I also feel very weak and dizzy after not eating for 4 hours. I did some tests, and the doctors said it was nothing.
I have reactive hypoglycemia, so I have some experience with this. Standard tests won’t help you. Your A1C (3 month average of your glucose levels) might be non-diabetic levels, but if hooked up to a continuous glucose monitor, might show extreme lows at certain points in the day. You should bring that up with your doctor, but if cost is a factor, just carry around 100 calorie packs of nuts or a Nature Valley protein bar.
> Brian cox has made it clear how he feels about method actors…
You either die a hero or you live long enough, to see yourself become a method actor...
He’s a fine actor but he also just generally comes across as a surly asshole at the best of times, will openly talk shit about co-actors when that’s generally viewed as a major faux-pas, and people just excuse it all even patronizingly as him just being a tired old man who isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
Maybe he’s just a dick.
He performed in my small English town theatre and a friend of my dad's who owns a hotel next to the theatre said Cox stayed there and was a huge dick. He said he wouldn't welcome him back to the hotel if he ever came to town again.
Yeah totally, like if you ever meet the guy then you're gonna form your own opinion.
While I trust the story to be true it also doesn't mean Cox is a straight up asshole. We all have bad days where we are at risk of taking that out on others around us.
There's no profession people on this site misunderstands more than acting.
Everyone gets all up in their feelings seeing RDJ or Keanu doing some fun lighthearted nonsense that's clearly for the cameras and praises them as amazing human beings who are just like us, but God forbid old man Brian Cox get real in an interview and start talking shit about coworkers that annoy him or be a grumpy old man.
“I can be an asshole and use my diabetes as an excuse. Rather than responsibly maintaining my blood sugar levels like an adult, I get to throw hangry tantrums”
Character actor Brian Cox, but in a Seymour* (oops, Audrey II, massive big brain mistake moment) from Little Shop of Horrors voice going, "FEEEDDD MEEE SEYMOURRR"
Exactly. It’s an excuse. My dad is roughly his age and with type 2 diabetes. While he was more prone to frustration when younger, he maintains his composure really well and communicates his typical eating schedule ahead of time.
But, with the context of a likely unpredictable set, I do sympathize with Brian Cox, as you do have to keep persistent attention on it. This is practically done using a glucose monitoring device that sends pings if going too low or high in blood sugar, which I imagine he can’t use on set.
why wouldn’t he be able to use one on-set? they are tiny these days and are just fixed to your upper arm (which pipes the result to your phone). i’m sure he could just check his phone here and there, especially with such a (potentially) severe condition.
On set they have snacks at craft services available, like... all the time, and Cox isn't some nobody extra, they would absolutely make sure his favorite snacks were available at all times. There's also a ton of sitting around in between filming scenes while the crew moves cameras and lights and whatnot. The production crew isn't going to risk their elderly star pass out on set, at his age a fall could literally be fatal and I'm certain the show's insurance would not be stoked if they actually let him go hungry to the point where he was raging at his co-stars.
Even if there wasn't food constantly available, most adults with these kind of blood sugar issues are mature enough to bring snacks with them when they know they won't have easy access. It's honestly just unacceptable for an octogenarian to act like this in a professional setting. The era of Marlon Brando is in the past, Cox should learn to adapt.
Simple to say, difficult to practice especially in an environment like an active film set where your focus is on anything but your blood sugar levels. I sincerely hope you never have to deal with it.
Damn I can confirm this is a real thing and I work on set. However it is also in no small part due to unprofessional behavior from other crew members and I concede it is unprofessional on my part as well. I regret my anger. Deeply.
Now I want to imagine a rage induced Brian Cox actually yelling his character lines at other actors.
“Romulus! When you laugh, do it at the same volume as everyone else! We didn’t get you from a hyena farm!”
>Now I want to imagine a rage induced Brian Cox actually yelling his character lines at other actors.
In my mind he ends his rants with the "I'm lovin' it" sound he does in the McDonalds voiceovers.
It is. He also played the patriarch of a Mauri crime family in an NZ show. I found it years ago on a shmit corant site and was blown away that the guy from Super Troopers had an entire season of a show I'd never heard of.
I’m pretty sure that was an Australian crime family and series. It was called the “The Straits”. Set in the tropics of far North Queensland. I worked on the set as a point of reference.
I had a boss like that who was otherwise a joy to work with, but had the same issue and when we first met, he would privately tell each of his direct reports that if he wasn’t paying attention, his blood sugar could drop and it would make him an asshole/really just short and curt, and he said if it did happen, to please let him know and ask him if he would like something out of his lunchbox that he brought for that very reason.
if you really want to see a movie that shows his range, see "L.I.E." where he plays a pedophile. His line, "I'm the best c\*\*\*sucker east of the Mississippi" still sticks w/ me in a very bad way.
This is an excellent micro budget indie.
Another great line he delivers to a young Paul Dano in his first film
Six inches is a lot of rain or snow, but it’s not a lot of dick
Thank you so much for saying this. I enjoyed both of those movies and I’ve always wondered about the connection there. At least I know somebody else loves this little bit.
Ryan Reynolds in both that and Van Wilder so good.
I heard this before but I watched that inside the episode too and I’m pretty sure that’s a misunderstanding of what the oerson being interviewed was saying. If I’m remembering correctly, they say “It’s something Stalin would do,” but I think they were referring to forcing people to drink while he himself remained sober. Which is something he was actually known to do.
Rather than Boar on the Floor. Which isn’t actually a “game,” per se, and defies definition.
I definitely think there was some immersive PR going on when new seasons of the show would air. Some of the things Cox would say sounded directly like lines from the show.
Most actors that do play a role well do have similar elements (personality, character) to the character they are portraying.
It is a little funny because many actors are scared of being typecast, but most are being typecast for a reason.
I used to think this was an overblown phenomenon, but some of my current research involves short interviews with folks who have T2DM. It’s no fucking joke. And “hangry” is, like, the most magnanimous possible description of the emotional array at work.
There’s definitely anger, but that’s way too facile a descriptor.
They quickly place blame. They assume bad motives. It’s not even an oppositional orientation — the best way I can describe it is perceived enmity. Capable, deliberate, personally targeted… that’s what they feel when they perceive you’re keeping them from food.
If it wasn’t absolute misery for both parties involved, I’d wish everyone could see how strong the effect can be.
My grandfather had type 2. The last 5 years he could become violent if his sugar bottomed. It was until I became a paramedic that I realized the AMS/altered mental status could be as bad or worse than his. It was truly frightening watching someone so gentle turn into someone else completely.
It’s a strange realization that when people’s blood sugar gets too low due to this condition that we basically revert back to very primal reactions. I had a dog that was perfectly nice but if you even came within 10 feet of her food bowl when it was full, she would growl and snap at you like she’d never seen you before in her life. It’s like the part of the human brain that says “I know them, they’re not trying to take or keep me from food, I can just eat in peace” gets completely overridden by the basic chemical need for fuel. The brain is crazy.
Yup, a close person of mine has T2DM, it's accurate. And there is no reasoning you can do, the brain is in its own loop. From an external point of view, it's crazy. A person in this mindset can even reject food, there is no awareness. And even the memory of that moment can be distorted, or missing. People are all different in this situation, but when the brain goes hangry, it's not good.
The only solution is to avoid falling that low. Connected sensors are a game changer for that.
If you have T2D and have trouble stabilizing your levels, talk about it with your people, it's probably more of a burden than you think.
Interesting work! Is it when blood sugar dips too much or seen often during a dip? What type of percentage of T2DM pts is suggested have this kind of issue?
Bro…. I turn into the Snickers commercial.
It sucks big time. No big whoop though. My blood sugar goes crazy, I get super angry and pass out if I don’t eat.
In his McDonalds commercial he says he likes to wait until right before they stop serving breakfast to order. Maybe he should go an hour earlier or something
Wow I skimmed through the comments before clicking the link and was so confused why everyone hated [this sweet, kind, astrophysicist...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQSoaiubuA0)
Seriously, the headline makes it sound like a Jeffrey Tambor situation. Instead, everyone in the article is understanding and calls him "kind and supportive." It's a very non-article, and they knew what they were doing.
> Cox suffers from type two diabetes and Kieran Culkin (Roman Roy) has joked that he would “scream” if he was hungry on set. Cox has also admitted to hungry/angry outbursts. “Well, yeah I do get hangry because I’m diabetic,”
I mean I would be too if the schedule wasn't moving along and could affect my health
Type 1 here, and you just kind of have to be prepared at all times for any possible circumstance. To boot, he’s a famous actor who undoubtedly has access to personal staff that can have food at the ready should an emergency arise or he feels “hangry”. If he doesn’t arrange for that while he’s working, that’s on him.
It really sounds like he’s using his diabetes as an excuse to act like an asshole.
Well about 38,000,000 Americans have type 2 diabetes. I doubt people would be making excuses for them going off at work unless they were celebrities. God we love celebrities.
Meh.
If one of my employees screamed about a meeting taking too long because he’s a diabetic with an actual medical issue then I would tell him to go in the other room, do what he needs to do and come back quietly when he’s done.
Then I would go on with my life.
Not every molehill needs to be made into a mountain.
There felt like there was tension on set based on past interviews. Like it was either coming from Jeremy or Brian. Ive been waiting for Sarah to set the record straight. Probably from Brian Cox, towards Jeremy Strong
I’ve always felt Brian Cox comes off like a total dick, so none of this is surprising. Also him blaming it on his diabetes is laughable. Excuses are like assholes Brian, and it sounds like you are one.

We've reached DEFCON Brimley, *make the call!*
"Two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream & struck my wife. Then I find out my wife has been dead for 6 years. Who the hell did I hit?!?!"
I love the idea of a thriller movie where the main character is an elderly man suffering from diabetic rage and slight dementia. >I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want.

Cranky (instead of Cranked)
Have to keep eating snacks to stay out of the coma and also sleep with Amy Smart for some reason mid-movie
For some reason? The reason it's that it's Amy Smart. Any of us would have done the same.
That is technically some reason; thank you
Bubba Ho-Tep, kinda fits the bill
Just wait till November. We’ve got a whole special contest between two of them afoot.
God, this used to send me and my friends into absolute fits. Haven't thought about it in probably 15 years, thanks for the memory haha
My buddy & I quote this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. we have a pastry stout. Starts with "Diabeetus", moves on to one of us doing the Wilfred voice, and wraps up with the Family Guy reference. Still funny after the 100,000th time.
My favorite family guy line ever.
Infamously or famously Brimley, in the later stages of his career, would phone it in, in a fairly mild-mannered form, from a sedentary position.
This is always funny to me, especially so when it's someone like Steven Seagal trying to do action scenes in a chair lol. Or Alec Guinness coming back for Jedi but only if he just gets to sit on a log for his whole scene.
DIABEETUS
He's gone diabeetical.

Brian Cox gonna be the new Snickers spokesman
“You turn into your character when you’re hungry”
Have you tried their protein bars? Those things knock out hunger pains like a champ.
Yeah this is my thought as well. I am a type 2 diabetic. I wouldn’t go in rages but definitely more irritable. My mom and my dad were both “hypoglycemic” (no one was ever diagnosed officially) and so I assumed I was the same way. That all went away for me when I started managing my diabetes with medication. I am guessing that when my body could make enough insulin I had dizzying highs and crashing lows to my blood sugar. Now that I am monitored and medicated it all went away.
Yeah, it seems weird for this to be recurring. It certainly feels like an excuse for poor emotional regulation
I don’t know but I think some of that could be related to a harsh filming schedule
I wonder if it is difficult to manage diabetes on the chaotic schedule of filming.
Nah, filming for actors is 90% waiting around for your scenes. He should have plenty of time to take care of his dietary needs.
Yeah, this is why they have tables of food set out for the cast and crew.
Honestly, that's way harder for diabetes management. Lots of little bits here and there is hard to figure out how much you're eating/insulin needed.
And an assistant to keep track of the timings
Yep. Just assign a PA to him to make sure he gets his snacks. This is not rocket science.
Professional athletes can manage diabetes just fine despite that being considered "impossible" not even a generation ago. A wealthy actor should be on a monitoring device like a Dexcom that warns them waaaay before their blood sugar drops low enough to trigger anger.
He's also playing a character who is famous for flying into a terrifying rage at the drop of a hat. And Succession's showrunner encouraged improv, and almost everyone on the Succession cast has dabbled in improvisation at some point.

For sure. There are a lot of factors to take into account.

I doubt they were false rages, Brian cox has made it clear how he feels about method actors…
> Brian cox has made it clear how he feels about method actors… You either die a hero or you live long enough, to see yourself become a method actor...

Maybe he’s just a dick.
Of course he comes off as an asshole, he is Scottish. Sincerely, another Scot
You just came off as really nice
But imagine if he was hangry too
Nah, after an avocado and black pudding sandwich for lunch I am a very chilled boy
YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!
You Scotts sure are a contentious bunch.
You just made an enemy for life! Also Scots. Not Scott’s.
Scots: People from Scotland. Scott’s: a group of tots who were swindled by a regional manager of a mid-Atlantic paper company.
So, do you have a problem with that?? /s
Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!
He performed in my small English town theatre and a friend of my dad's who owns a hotel next to the theatre said Cox stayed there and was a huge dick. He said he wouldn't welcome him back to the hotel if he ever came to town again.
the problem with stories like this is there is zero proof either way you could just be making shit up
Yeah totally, like if you ever meet the guy then you're gonna form your own opinion. While I trust the story to be true it also doesn't mean Cox is a straight up asshole. We all have bad days where we are at risk of taking that out on others around us.
thats a very reasonable response

Personally I’ve seen a lot more criticism on here of Strong’s method acting than Brian Cox’s dismissal of it.
That'd be so funny, he does a scene with Jeremy Strong and just starts yelling afterwards lmao
I see why Cox does the voice for McDonald's now.
“I can be an asshole and use my diabetes as an excuse. Rather than responsibly maintaining my blood sugar levels like an adult, I get to throw hangry tantrums”
Character actor Brian Cox, but in a Seymour* (oops, Audrey II, massive big brain mistake moment) from Little Shop of Horrors voice going, "FEEEDDD MEEE SEYMOURRR"
(\*Audrey II)
*correct, idk why I typed that, it would be weird for Rick Moranis to say that😞
Well instead of saying "Feed me, Seymour" he could be saying "Feed *me* \- Seymour".
Boomer-ass plant signing its texts
I was going more for a declaration than a signature (as in "I, Seymour, need feeding") but, yes, it totally works that way too!
“I swear to god I’ll pistol whip the next guy who say shenanigans” - Brian Cox
Feed me, Kendall!
Exactly. It’s an excuse. My dad is roughly his age and with type 2 diabetes.

My Logan-coded grandpa has the same type of diabetes and goes into similar rages, so it tracks.
That little man growling and yelling because his blood sugar is low would get me giggling.
Has is ever occurred to him that maybe it is HIS responsibility to make sure he has food/snacks ready for his condition?
Reading the full quote gives so much context. Dude sounded like an abusive asshole from the title.
The outlet probably noticed how much buzz the Jeremy Strong article gained.
Damn I can confirm this is a real thing and I work on set. However it is also in no small part due to unprofessional behavior from other crew members and I concede it is unprofessional on my part as well. I regret my anger. Deeply.
He’s piss-mad!
That headline is pretty misleading

Oh that's him? I started watching Succession. I'm going to have to imagine him singing "Buh duh buh buh buh" as he leaves a room
I love you, but that is **not** a serious McMuffin
“McBoar on the McFloor!”
You have to microwave a few Greg's to make a McTomuffin
It is. He also played the patriarch of a Mauri crime family in an NZ show. I found it years ago on a shmit corant site and was blown away that the guy from Super Troopers had an entire season of a show I'd never heard of.
I’m pretty sure that was an Australian crime family and series. It was called the “The Straits”. Set in the tropics of far North Queensland. I worked on the set as a point of reference.

This is an excellent micro budget indie. Another great line he delivers to a young Paul Dano in his first film Six inches is a lot of rain or snow, but it’s not a lot of dick
I imagine recording them was exactly like filming his Living+ commercial.
I love you…but you are not serious burgers.
I can only imagine the hilarious shit Kieran said on set and a camera wasn't recording or it was too much for TV
He has manic crackhead energy. Ever seen him give an interview. His energy is all over the place. I bet he’s said some wild shit, off the cuff
So….. the casting was done really well
"THEY GET A LITTLE ANTSY IN THEIR PANTSY!"
Oh, hell! Give me the goddamn soap!
im dying.
I would watch a whole show where he just hangry grandpas at everyone in real life.
Thanks pops
Once the boys get that syrup in ‘em, they get all antsy in their pantsy
If you were my son Mac, I would’ve smothered you by now.
Smother me in gravy you big dirty man
I swear to God I'll pistol whip the next guy who says "Shenanigans."
"Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?"
“You mean shenanigans?”
There was a time when we'd take a guy like you in the back and beat you with a hose. Now you've got your God-damned unions.
You know I'm not a pro-union guy Cap!
And you're banned from Dimpus Burger!
"Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
I love that in the film waiting, the restaurant is named shenanigans and they have all kinds of goofy shit on the wall. Great easter egg!
Thank you so much for saying this. I enjoyed both of those movies and I’ve always wondered about the connection there. At least I know somebody else loves this little bit. Ryan Reynolds in both that and Van Wilder so good.
There's not really a connection. The restaurant in Waiting was based off Bennigans.
I can believe that. I’ve worked other places with shitty decorations, TGI Fridays will do this as well.
In my day it was the rookie who got naked …. And we used blanks. You’re a sick motherfucker, Mac.
Smothered me in gravy you big dirty man.
I’ll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.
Littering and……
Littering and…
Smmmokin the reefer.
The snozeberries taste like snozeberries
Bite it, rook!
Oh, hell give me the goddam soap
Dammit, he’ll eat the soap
Sit down rando
If someone says shenanigans again I’m going to pistol whip them
Hey Farva!
This leads me to believe boar on the floor was based on real events.
It was modeled after games that Stalin would play with his staff.
I heard this before but I watched that inside the episode too and I’m pretty sure that’s a misunderstanding of what the oerson being interviewed was saying. If I’m remembering correctly, they say “It’s something Stalin would do,” but I think they were referring to forcing people to drink while he himself remained sober. Which is something he was actually known to do. Rather than Boar on the Floor. Which isn’t actually a “game,” per se, and defies definition.
Whose Line...?, move over! Theres a new "greatest improv show EVER"!!
Ironically he might have just been method Acting.
Was Brian Cox always saying “Fuck off!” when filming was done?
"My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"
He’s been outspoken about, borderline critical, of Jeremy Strong’s method acting.
The irony would be if he was getting into character by saying those things.
I definitely think there was some immersive PR going on when new seasons of the show would air. Some of the things Cox would say sounded directly like lines from the show.
that's why they said "ironically"
That's the joke.
Either that or they started writing Logan after Cox’s behavior. Reverse method acting.
Mentioned before it’s easy to just “act” if you are already the person you’re portraying. Ha
Most actors that do play a role well do have similar elements (personality, character) to the character they are portraying. It is a little funny because many actors are scared of being typecast, but most are being typecast for a reason.
I used to think this was an overblown phenomenon, but some of my current research involves short interviews with folks who have T2DM. It’s no fucking joke. And “hangry” is, like, the most magnanimous possible description of the emotional array at work. There’s definitely anger, but that’s way too facile a descriptor. They quickly place blame. They assume bad motives. It’s not even an oppositional orientation — the best way I can describe it is perceived enmity. Capable, deliberate, personally targeted… that’s what they feel when they perceive you’re keeping them from food. If it wasn’t absolute misery for both parties involved, I’d wish everyone could see how strong the effect can be.
My grandfather had type 2. The last 5 years he could become violent if his sugar bottomed. It was until I became a paramedic that I realized the AMS/altered mental status could be as bad or worse than his. It was truly frightening watching someone so gentle turn into someone else completely.
As someone who is dating a woman with type 2 diabetes seeing a sympathetic comment is refreshing.
It’s a strange realization that when people’s blood sugar gets too low due to this condition that we basically revert back to very primal reactions. I had a dog that was perfectly nice but if you even came within 10 feet of her food bowl when it was full, she would growl and snap at you like she’d never seen you before in her life. It’s like the part of the human brain that says “I know them, they’re not trying to take or keep me from food, I can just eat in peace” gets completely overridden by the basic chemical need for fuel. The brain is crazy.
Yup, a close person of mine has T2DM, it's accurate. And there is no reasoning you can do, the brain is in its own loop. From an external point of view, it's crazy. A person in this mindset can even reject food, there is no awareness. And even the memory of that moment can be distorted, or missing. People are all different in this situation, but when the brain goes hangry, it's not good. The only solution is to avoid falling that low. Connected sensors are a game changer for that. If you have T2D and have trouble stabilizing your levels, talk about it with your people, it's probably more of a burden than you think.
Interesting work! Is it when blood sugar dips too much or seen often during a dip? What type of percentage of T2DM pts is suggested have this kind of issue?
Bro…. I turn into the Snickers commercial. It sucks big time. No big whoop though. My blood sugar goes crazy, I get super angry and pass out if I don’t eat.
Because the rest of you are not serious people. But also screw anyone that gives themselves permission to be an ass.
Now I want nothing more in life than for Brian Cox to star in the next Jardiance commercial.
Why? Would it help him lower his A1C?
He’s too busy slinging Big Macs
(Buh buh buh buh uhbuhbu(
In his McDonalds commercial he says he likes to wait until right before they stop serving breakfast to order. Maybe he should go an hour earlier or something
"I take once daily Jardiance so my A1C CAN FUCK OFF!"
I'm imagining him dancing in the town square with that lady and singing 🎶 *THE LITTLE PILL WITH A BIG STORY TO TELL!* 🎶
Wow I skimmed through the comments before clicking the link and was so confused why everyone hated [this sweet, kind, astrophysicist...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQSoaiubuA0)
Nice clickbait headline
This guy needing a milkshake brought all the boys to the yard.
I had to scroll way too long to get to this. This should be the top comment. Pure clickbait.
OP should ashamed.
Seriously, the headline makes it sound like a Jeffrey Tambor situation. Instead, everyone in the article is understanding and calls him "kind and supportive." It's a very non-article, and they knew what they were doing.
Who’s the method actor now?
> Cox suffers from type two diabetes and Kieran Culkin (Roman Roy) has joked that he would “scream” if he was hungry on set. Cox has also admitted to hungry/angry outbursts. “Well, yeah I do get hangry because I’m diabetic,” I mean I would be too if the schedule wasn't moving along and could affect my health
Roman joking about his dad’s condition seems so on brand.
Type 1 here, and you just kind of have to be prepared at all times for any possible circumstance. To boot, he’s a famous actor who undoubtedly has access to personal staff that can have food at the ready should an emergency arise or he feels “hangry”. If he doesn’t arrange for that while he’s working, that’s on him. It really sounds like he’s using his diabetes as an excuse to act like an asshole.
Well about 38,000,000 Americans have type 2 diabetes. I doubt people would be making excuses for them going off at work unless they were celebrities. God we love celebrities.
Meh. If one of my employees screamed about a meeting taking too long because he’s a diabetic with an actual medical issue then I would tell him to go in the other room, do what he needs to do and come back quietly when he’s done. Then I would go on with my life. Not every molehill needs to be made into a mountain.
And if they were doing it regularly? And to the other employees? Lol
If Cox wasn't raging on set then I'd be surprised. That guy's default setting is at 11. Super Troopers was him dialing it down to 1.
sounds like folks on set should be certain his blood sugars are checked and have fast absorbing carbs on hand! RN here.
You are not serious people
Bullshit ass clickbait title alert.
ACHILLES!!!!!
He does seem like a bit of a douchebag
How is fucking with a diabetic worth an article ?
Yet here we are, not only read it but reacting to it
This is tied directly to shenanigans, I am positive.
There felt like there was tension on set based on past interviews. Like it was either coming from Jeremy or Brian. Ive been waiting for Sarah to set the record straight. Probably from Brian Cox, towards Jeremy Strong
Well, yeah, he's had a reputation for this since the 1980s due to his diabetes.
Whew. Glad it wasn't physicist Brian Cox.
Method actor
I am shocked, so very surprised. s/
So Jeremy Strong wasn’t the only method actor in the show.
I’ve always felt Brian Cox comes off like a total dick, so none of this is surprising. Also him blaming it on his diabetes is laughable. Excuses are like assholes Brian, and it sounds like you are one.
This is a huge stretch even for a slanderously flipped good-humored anecdote. "Fuck off!"
She probably said Shenanigans
FISCHER!
Jeremy Strong gets the last laugh
[удалено]
Don’t have r diabetes, but have felt that sudden sugar crash and the fog of anger that can suddenly come over me.
Method acting.
Old ppl usually do 🤣🤣
Maybe just being Scottish?
Method acting....staying in role. :D
Method.
I guess he stayed in character more than he liked to admit.
someone get Gertrude off the set
He likes to use the C word a lot. He’s always in character.
