Matthew Macfadyen Didn't Know SUCCESSION Co-Star Brian Cox Was In An X-MEN Movie | INTERVIEW

[@JakesTakesTV]

Thank you for watching my interview! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting new celebrity interviews every week!

[@IndomitableT]

@JakesTakesTV, Pride & Prejudice with Matthew Macfadyen is from 2005, so next year it will be 20 years ago.😌

[@henryivan6858]

Wait until he watches Brian Cox in X2! Chilling villain. One of the best villains in comicbook movies in my opinion. No personal superpowers, just cruel. Great actor.

[@Elwaves2925]

If he hasn't seen that, it makes me wonder if he's watched Manhunter, with Cox as the original Hannibal Lecter.

[@szewei85]

Better than Dr Otto of Spiderman hahahaha

[@wrestlinginfodude2644]

Brian cox is one of the best actors of the world

[@nelsonying2898]

Small spoiler alert - when the credits first roll on Deadpool and Wolverine, they run clips and bloopers from most if not all of the Fox Marvel films. I was reminded of Cox as Stryker, and as a big Succession fan, I thought it was a great Easter egg. And, Matthew’s performance did remind me of Tom as well.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@nelsonying2898 Yeah, I definitely saw some Tom in Matthew's performance.

[@liamk1610]

Deadpool would definitely love Pride and Prejudice lol

[@QuintonLeo]

Came here to say this. It would absolutely love that film. ESPECIALLY the beloved hand scene.

[@MayLily]

Wade should’ve swooned over Mr. Darcy..

[@Gooofballll]

As someone who’s so deep into this franchise, it’s always jarring to remember the actors aren’t nearly as into it as the fans are and don’t have the encyclopedic knowledge we do

[@BichaeldeAngelo]

I don't really think the knowledge one of your primary coworkers for the last half decade was in the same franchise you're joining is encyclopedic lol But eh, who cares- an actor's job is to perform well in the role, it's a producer's job and the creative team to know the history. Most actors have little education anyway (though British actors are far more likely to actually study it as a craft)

[@TheDan744]

Danny Huston was another Succesion co-star who played opposite of Wolverine again as General Stryker in x-men origins: wolverine🤣

[@KyleTye]

Yes! Glad someone else noticed this. I freaked the first time I saw those two actors together in Succession.

[@TheDan744]

@@KyleTye Freaked out is the right term. I even tweeted it

[@thetalentof]

Macfayden's worked with some of the most talented directors including Ridley Scott, Joe Wright, Ron Howard, Lasse Hallström, John Madden and Michael Apted. His most memorable performances for me are in Pride & Prejudice, Succession, Operation Mincemeat and The Assistant.

[@olucasb93]

This is one of the best pop interviews I've ever seen. Great questions and answers.

[@benwasserman8223]

Oh Deadpool would 100% try to flirt with Mr. Darcy.

[@uidentity]

There should be an interviewer asking Jake, “I’m a huge fan, how do you come up with questions that every interviewee compliments you with ‘that’s a great question’?”

[@IsacMcLin]

Macfayden will always be prior Philip to me! Love Pillars of the Earth.

[@frankfurthe6282]

No hate, but these are always painful to watch when the actor is clearly not interested in the comic book culture (not that they have to be, just this line of questioning was tough imo)

[@akshaytrayner1960]

He is awesome

[@simonjack9699]

Also Brian Cox played Hannibal lecter on the movie manhunters that focused on will Graham going after red dragon.

[@cirkostalsia]

A vivid example is that dramatic actors deeply do not care about comic book films, especially European ones. They have to play 2 roles-one in the film itself, and the other is the interest in it during the press tour.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Great interview as always

[@hermunkulus]

3:08 I'm assuming you meant 20th. Pride & Prejudice came out in 2005 haha.

[@szewei85]

And its still one of my favorite of all time haha

[@christinecanty3268]

I would have picked Mr. Darcy, too!

[@Brubinvictus]

It's not the 25th anniversary of pride and prejudice though. It's the 20th😅

[@The_Infamous_Boogyman]

Cox IS William Stryker

[@WereSquatch]

Always kind of sucks to hear the actors dont pay attention to the franchise tho. Like I get not knowing every single detail but Id think hed know a costar was in one of the original movies that comes before his. Youd think youd watch at least some of the stuff leading up to it

[@kelownatechkid]

Best interviewer

[@ColeTheLeprechaun]

I was hoping he’d be cast as Professor X

[@Jaythesparrow]

No

[@raphaomesmin5826]

Didn't know Brian cox was in X2 😂

[@viniciusbastos3527]

Where's the suit?

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

He looks unrecognisable with the beard 🤣

[@irinanovikova9412]

Без бороды ему лучше зачем он не бреется?

[@RobertoBermeo_]

He has to make questions about Succession because he noticed that the interviewed doesn’t know anything about the movie he is in 😂

[@JakesTakesTV]

We were only shown the first 35 minutes at the time.

[@Dmaduruh]

I think he was trying to say that Matthew doesn't really know or care about the source material or past X-men films.

[@nms7872]

About him not knowing about brian cox as Stryker, why would a co worker know all about their coworker's past employment?

[@JakesTakesTV]

…I would have thought a guy starring in an X-Men movie might watch the other X-Men?

[@jesseowenvillamor6348]

​@@JakesTakesTVExactly. And it's just weird that he hasn't seen X2 yet.

[@szewei85]

Haha interesting

[@razer354]

Because he has a public imdb page 😂

[@Pokadot101]

Jake went hard on the self tanner!

[@orcanimal]

Well, I guess the movie's not very good 'cause Jake isn't asking ANYTHING about the movie itself, and he really only does that when he knows it's a stinker... shame

[@b0zzyk511]

Or he hasn’t seen the movie

[@joelanthonylim6792]

@@b0zzyk511 Yeah for this press tour they were only given the first 35 minutes. And Jake has said he loved the movie and compared it to Trains Planes & Automobiles

[@szewei85]

​@@joelanthonylim6792should have given 45 minutes actually hahaha
