Brian Cox Slams Donald Trump Over Scottish Independence Comments

Sir Brian Cox in 2023Sir Brian Cox has once again taken aim at Donald Trump, this time after the US leader’s latest comments about Scottish independence.During an interview with Sky News, the Succession star – who was born and raised in Dundee – shared his response to Trump’s recent take that Scotland should wait another “50 or 75 years” before holding another vote on whether to separate itself away from the UK, claiming a country “can’t go through that too much”.A referendum on the matter last took place in 2014, with around 55% of Scottish voters opting to remain part of the UK.Sir Brian – a vocal supporter of Scottish independence – said “that idiot in America” is “talking bollocks”.“I’m sorry, but he does,” the Emmy winner continued. “It’s rubbish. Let’s get on with it and let’s get it [independence] done. We can do it.”Donald TrumpHe added: “It’s been tough as there’s a great deal of undermining that has gone on.”Over the years, Sir Brian has had choice words for right-wing leaders on both sides of the Atlantic.But it’s Trump who’s been on the receiving end of his most caustic remarks, including earlier this year, when the British star branded the US leader a “cunt” live on The Last Leg.Prior to that, he had stated his intention to relocate from the US if Trump did win in the 2024 presidential election.“I think my relationship with America will be coming to a very short sharp end quite soon because of that very thing,” he said in April of last year. “It’s very hard to govern America and you certainly don’t need idiots like Trump doing that.”During other past interviews in recent years, Sir Brian has compared Trump unfavourably to his Succession character, Logan Roy, and, at one point, lambasting him as a “fucking asshole”.READ MORE:Brian Cox Does Precisely Zero To Hide His True Feelings For Boris Johnson During Channel 4 Election CoverageSir Brian Cox Addresses Rehearsal Outburst That Led To Him Being Reported To Actors' UnionSuccession Star Brian Cox Slams The Bible As ‘One Of The Worst Books Ever’
