Brian Cox is taking on a new look for his latest role - ditching his signature beard.

Brian Cox, 77, is taking on a new look for his latest role - ditching his signature beard to star in a new revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night in the West End Putting the facial hair differences aside, critics have pointed out that Brian's stage role is not dissimilar to his most famous part in the acclaimed HBO series Succession. Set in August 1912 at the Tyrones' summer home in Connecticut , this powerful play by Eugene, which is semi-autobiographical, follows a single day in the lives of the family (pictured: Louisa Harland, Daryl McCormack, Brian Cox, Patricia Clarkson and Laurie Kynaston)
