00:00Hi there, congratulations.

00:01You talked to us on the red carpet about coming up to 60 years in the industry.

00:05Could you talk about why this is so special right now, this role, at this point in your career?

00:09Well, I never thought I'd make it.

00:11I mean, I thought, you know, I thought my sell-by date had come quite some time ago.

00:16And then, thanks to Jesse Armstrong, he revived, well, actually, no, that's not fair.

00:21I've been doing reasonably well, I can't complain.

00:24But then, a role like Logan Roy just comes along once in a generation, once in a lifetime.

00:31And when you're given a gift like that, you know, you go, wow.

00:36And it's down to Jesse, you know.

00:39He called me, he didn't have to, but he did.

00:42And I'm eternally grateful to him, which is really good.

00:46This is really nice.

00:49Mr. Cox, congratulations.

00:50Oh, thank you.

00:51What a career you've had.

00:52Where does tonight rank?

00:54I know you've got, is it a Geordie accent you've got?

00:57Liverpool.

00:58Oh, yeah, come on.

01:00Is that a Liverpool accent?

01:01Yeah.

01:02Oh, Jesus Christ.

01:03Or can you, say it again, please.

01:04You've had such an amazing career.

01:06Where does tonight rank?

01:08Oh, tonight ranks because I'm with my buddies.

01:12I'm with these incredible bunch of actors, the succession crew.

01:16So, this is a bit of a pinnacle.

01:18You know, I can't ask for better than this.

01:21I mean, this crew, our writer, producer, Jesse, you saw him tonight, won the prize.

01:28He's a very modest man, but such a genius at putting this show together.

01:33And I owe it to him.

01:36If he hadn't given me the role, I wouldn't be here.

01:39So, it means a lot.

01:43Okay.

01:44Yes.

01:45Congratulations.

01:46Let me just ask you very candidly.

01:48Are you playing Rupert Murdoch?

01:51No.

01:51Do you feel like your character?

01:52I am playing Logan Roy.

01:54Logan Roy is totally our creation.

01:59Rupert Murdoch has fuck all to do with it.

02:03And you can quote me on that.

02:04You know, I did have an incident in London recently, or no, yeah, no, relatively recently.

02:13I was in a cafe in Primrose Hill.

02:15If you've ever been to London, it's a nice place.

02:18I have an apartment there.

02:20And I was standing there ordering my latte, and somebody tapped me on the shoulder and said,

02:25we're loving your show.

02:27And I said, oh, really?

02:29He said, yes, yes, we really are loving it.

02:31I mean, my wife finds it a little difficult at times, but on the whole, she's really, really

02:37enjoying it.

02:38And I said, oh, that's good.

02:39I said, well, why is your wife finding it difficult?

02:42He said, well, my wife is Elizabeth Murdoch.

02:45I said, oh, ah, well, yeah, I'm sorry.

02:51He said, no, it's fine.

02:53He said, but can you go easy on her next season?

02:56I said, we'll do our best.

03:01I said, we'll do our best.
