Succession Star Brian Cox Rips Bible As "Worst Book Ever"

Actor Brian Cox's portrayal as HBO's Succession's arrogant, pompous, crude billionaire father Logan Roy has been increasingly making its way into the real world for him.

It seems like almost every month I'm here on OutKick writing about what absurd thing the 77-year-old actor said next. Whether it's ripping Donald Trump or Joaquin Phoenix to even his former Castmate Jeremy Strong, who played Logan Roy's son Kendall in the hit HBO series - Cox has been blurring the lines of filming with reality. 

But this time he may have gone too far as the actor is facing heavy criticism for ripping the Bible and Christianity.

"The Bible is one of the worst books ever, for me, for my point of view," Cox said during an appearance on The Starting Line podcast before then taking issue with one of the oldest stories in it.

LOGAN ROY ACTOR RIPS THE BIBLE

"The propaganda goes right the way back. It starts with the idea that out of Adam’s rib, this woman was created, and they’ll believe it cause they’re stupid. They need it, but they don’t need to be told lies, they need some kind of truth, and that is not the truth, it's a mythology," he continued.

Yikes. 

Hopefully, Brian Cox's publicist believes in God because they'll definitely need his help dealing with this mess he just created.

But the Succession star wasn't done trashing the Bible just yet!

"If God says this and God does that, and you go, ‘Well, what is God?’ We’ve created that idea of God, and we’ve created it as a control issue," before adding that it is "propaganda."

Ironically enough, Cox said similar things during one of his Succession scenes when he asks his driver if he believes there's any after life once one passes away.

Now I'm not going to pretend I know what kind of person Brian Cox is like in real life - maybe he's always been an absolute pain and "that guy" whenever one has to interact with him.

But Jesus dude, stop talking already.
