Brian Cox has a new autobiography out "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat" which sounds somewhat forthright in its comments on his acting colleagues. Anyway, there's always been lots of anecdotes around about Michael Gambon and Cox repeats a few. The usual thrust of the anecdotes is that Gambon is pleasingly eccentric but others suggest to me that he's really horrible. Here's one of each.
Michael Gambon has got a dark interior. Plastered on his dressing room mirror are photos from Robert de Niro signed "Dear Mike, I admire your work, love always, Bob" that Gambon had written and sent to himself.
Gambon once took the actor Terence Rigby up in a two-seater aircraft, supposedly to cure his fear of flying, and then pretended to have a heart attack.

Went to the Audience With Brian Cox event at the Leicester Square Theatre this afternoon: good but a bit too brief at 75 minutes or so (although it did get bogged down a bit with thespian debate with his son at times), although he did reveal he is due to start directing his first film in Scotland with Alan Cumming, Shirley Henderson and his son in August, followed by a return to the London stage in The Score (although there is the possibility of Long Days Journey transferring to New York)

I assume it's not until 2025. |

I assume it's not until 2025. He was asked what his plans for this year are when Long Days Journey is over and he said the aforementioned film, then The Score so possibly late autumn/winter? |
