Brian Cox says he hasn't watched the 'Succession' finale because he doesn't 'cling on to things'

• Brian Cox says he hasn't watched the "Succession" finale because he doesn't "cling onto things."
• The actor, 77, told the BBC he was "disinclined" to watch the show because of his character's fate.

Spoilers ahead for the final episode of "Succession."

All good things come to an end, and that's a reality Brian Cox clearly has no issue with.

The Scottish actor, 77, said he is happily moving on from "Succession" to his next project and hasn't even bothered watching the finale of the award-winning HBO series. The Emmy-winning show's finale aired on May 28.

Cox played Logan Roy, the patriarch of the Roy family and founder of the fictional multi-billion dollar empire Waystar Royco. Roy died a simultaneously anticipated, yet sudden, death in the third episode of the final season, a plot point that showrunner Jesse Armstrong said he was initially "nervous" to reveal to Cox because he didn't want him to "feel rejected on a human level" in a post-episode interview as part of HBO's behind-the-episode featurette, "Controlling the Narrative."

But in a recent interview with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Cox didn't seem too bitter about saying goodbye to a show he's played such a central role in. What's more, he admitted that he hadn't watched the finale.

"I've never liked watching myself," Cox said. "Somehow or other, because of what happened to Logan, I've been disinclined to watch."

"I knew how it was going to end because I knew that Logan had already set it up, and so I gather that ultimately, in the end, Logan's won through even though he's in the grave," he said.

"It's a strange situation," Cox added. "I don't cling onto things. When I'm over, it's over, and I go on."

He went on to say that despite not watching the finale, he'd heard that the surviving Roy family members "rightly got their just desserts in the end."
