So, here’s a story from A to Z:SuccessionactorBrian Coxis a secretSpice Girlsfan. Shortly after he was seen dancing toCarly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe"along with hisSuccession co-stars, it seems apparent at this point that the award-winning actor is living his pop fantasy. In a preview forThe Late Late Show’sCarpool Karaoke: The Series' latest episode, Cox was joined by Scottish actorAlan Cumming, where the two “serious thespians” sing to the Spice Girls' “Wannabe,” with Cox admitting that he’s a secret Spice Girls lover.
Cox stars in the hit HBO dramaSuccession, where his character,Logan Royexudes a rather strong personality. Logan Roy is a pragmatist and an assertive businessman who places more of his attention on his company; he can also provide terror at times and is best at insults. But in the latestCarpool Karaokepreview, it’s evident that the Shakespearean actor is very different from Logan Roy. When Cumming asked if he’s a Spice Girls fan, Cox confidently admitted that he is indeed a fan of the English girl group, and then the clip quickly jumps to the two singing in tandem to the iconic 1996 song “Wannabe,” which catapulted the Spice Girls to stardom.
Cox is an accomplished actor, whose career began at an early age. He has been in a number of iconic films, including the 1995 filmBraveheartand the 2003 MCU filmX2: X-Men United, among other movies that have earned him significant awards, such as the Critics' Circle and the Laurence Olivier Award. Apart from nominations, the actor also took home a Primetime Emmy Award for the American television miniseriesNuremberg, in addition to BAFTA Scotland Awards and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Logan Roy inSuccession. His other credits on the small screen also include—to name a few—The Devil’s Crown,Superman: The Animated Series,The Straits,Medici: Masters of Florence, andBlade Runner: Black Lotus. And now, at age 76, he keeps on adding more movie and TV titles to his resume. Cumming, on the other hand, is an equally accomplished actor, who also starred in several films, including the 1997 musical comedy film,Spice World.
