Succession star Sir Brian Cox has defended a Hollywood actor who apologised for making anti-Semitic comments.

The Dundonian said Mel Gibson, famous for film Braveheart, has “problems” but claimed he is not a “bad man”.

Cox, a supporter of Scottish independence, has recently published his memoirs.

The Scot hit new peaks of fame when he starred as media mogul Logan Roy in Succession, for which he won Best Actor at the Golden Globes.
