as he calls out several celebs who’ve rubbed him the wrong way, including “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, Johnny Depp.

“It would have been a money-spinner, but of all the parts in that film it was the most thankless,” Cox, 75, wrote of turning down the part of the Governor in the “Pirates” franchise, which eventually went to Jonathan Pryce. “Plus, I would have ended up doing it for film after film and missed out on all the other nice things I’ve done.

Cox also took time to praise director Spike Lee, who according to the star, put actor Ed Norton “in his place” while filming 2002’s “25th Hour.”“Ed Norton was in the film and he’s a nice lad but a bit of a pain in the arse because he fancies himself as a writer-director,” Cox wrote. “He and I had this scene set in the bar owned by my character. Spike set it up immaculately, but Ed came in and was saying, ‘Now, I’ve done some work on the script and I’ve got a few ideas and I’d like you to think about them. I’ve rewritten a few things in there …’

“Spike was like, ‘Oh, good, let me see.’ He had a look at Ed’s notes and then said, ‘Well that’s very interesting. Okay, so what we’re going to do now is …’ and put Ed very firmly in his place.”

Coming from the man who just plays myself! He does it well, but just worry about yourself when what Johnny Depp does.

His obsession with Johnny Depp is getting out of hand 😬. Dude needs to get a life.

And we should all beleive Brian Cox, because everyone knows who he is, who is he again, I only know who he is now, because of Johnny Depp, its great how all the unknowns are riding on the back of Johnny Depp, they know they will get their name out there if they mention Johnny 😄
