Succession‘s Logan Roy has a message for Boris Johnson, and it’s as scathing as you’d expect from the Roy patriarch.
Brian Cox, who plays the media conglomerate-owning billionaire on the HBO Max/Sky series, reprised the role to send the prime minister the note on today’s Jeremy Vine Show.
“Listen, Boris. I think you really need psychiatric help. You’re a compulsive liar and a country does not need a compulsive liar running the show, so if I was you, I would [blank] off, OK?,” he said while in character in a video shared on Jeremy Vine’s Twitter.

The ruthless Roy patriarch is no stranger to politics. An instrumental figure in US elections, the latest season saw presidential candidates falling over themselves to gain his favour, and trying to win over his feuding children.
In the end, he decided to offer his support to a candidate with fascist leanings, though as is always the case with Succession, that could change next season, especially if it affects the Roys’ “optics”.
It certainly looks like Roy isn’t so keen on the British PM, however.
Following season 3’s dramatic ending, Dundee-born Cox is set to reprise the role for Succession’s upcoming fourth season, and we’re sure politics will continue to play a considerable role in his never-ending quest for power.
Cox is set to speak to Jeremy this morning on the Talking Telly section, though he will appear as himself.
