According to Cox, the role of Agamemnon in “Troy” was “the only part I’ve ever pursued” in his career.
Getting the part meant getting to watch Brad Pitt on set with his own eyes, which is a sight that left Cox gobsmacked. As the actor recalled, “I remember at one point being agog at Brad. He’d never been in costumes like that… Brad walked on set and my jaw was down because he was so stunningly beautiful. I’m straight but I thought, ‘Wow, my God! This guy is stunning.
“Troy” grossed just under $500 million at the worldwide box office and was nominated for an Academy Award in the costume design category. Cox and Pitt starred opposite an ensemble cast that included Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Brendan Gleeson, Peter O’Toole and Stephen Buttigieg.
Watch Cox’s reflections on “Troy” and more of his signature roles in the Vanity Fair video below. The “Succession” actor has recently been making press rounds in support of his new memoir, “Putting the Rabbit in the Hat,” which is now available for purchase.
