Brian Cox has sweary reaction to BBC interviewer's acting suggestion
Brian Cox appeared to channel his Succession character, Logan Roy after he shouted "b*******" during an interview on the BBC. The 76-year-old played the ruthless patriarch and founder of media company Waystar Royco, known for his sharp tongue and use of swear words - especially to his four children (Connor, Kendall, Siobhan (Shiv), and Roman) who strived to win his affections to became the successor of his media empire. (Spoilers for season four ahead...) Viewers of the most recent season were shocked with the plot twist that saw Logan dramatically killed off in the third episode, leaving his four children to fight it to see who will come out on top.

Cox noted to Rotten Tomatoes how he gets request from fans "on a regular basis" to say it. "And I go yeah, that's the easiest thing in the world, f*** off" Today, Cox's recent interview with Amol Rajan aired on BBC Radio 4's Today programme in which Rajan warned viewers about "a bit of bad language coming up." At one point, Rajan asked Cox his opinion about whether people need certain experience to play certain roles. He said: "What about this idea that only actors who have had certain experiences should play certain roles? You mention –" “Bollocks! Absolute bollocks!" Cox interjected. "It’s the imagination,” he continued. "It’s again what I talked about earlier on, about interfering with the imagination.” Safe to say, listeners were thoroughly entertained at Cox's reaction. Meanwhile, Today programme co-host Nick Robinson later joked about the uncanny likeness between Cox and his Succession character in the clip: "Just to remind you, that was the actor rather than Logan Roy, although at times you couldn’t exactly tell the difference, could you?" The finale episode of the final series of Succession called "Wide Open Eyes" will air on Sunday, May 28 on HBO. Have your say in our news democracy.

Taylor Swift 'chokes up' during break-up song performance a day after Matty Healy 'split'
Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have reportedly parted ways after rumours that the pair were dating had the internet in a chokehold. During the star's hotly anticipated Eras Tour in Chicago on Saturday (3 June), Swift surprised fans with two new additions. One of which was a piano version of her 2017 song 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever'. The song is centred around heartbreak and losing the love of your life, prompting the singer to seemingly hold back emotions on stage. One part of the song says: "Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call/ It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all." The performance garnered a lot of attention from fans, who first praised the emotional rendition, before speculating that Swift was hinting at what was going on in her personal life. It came a day before reports of Swift "splitting" from The 1975 frontman. "Her voice breaks - she‘s looking up trying to hold her tears - continues to sing like that, it’s literally heartbreaking," one Swiftie wrote, while another noted: "That voice crack."

They are both extremely busy and realised they’re not really compatible with each other." "Taylor’s friends want what’s best for her and aren’t shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship," a source told the publication on Monday (5 June), referring to Swift's split from British actor Joe Alwyn after six years of dating.
