United Kingdom, Nov. 4 -- Sir Daniel Day-Lewis has hit out at Brian Cox for starting a "conflict" about method acting.

The Succession star blamed the Lincoln actor's influence for his TV show castmate Jeremy Strong's decision to partake in the practice but Daniel has suggested that the Scottish star has got on his "soapbox" about the matter.

The 68-year-old actor told The Big Issue magazine: "I don't know where the f*** that came from.

"I worked with Brian Cox once and got somehow drawn into this handbags-at-dawn conflict inadvertently. Brian is a very fine actor who's done extraordinary work. As a result, he's been given a soapbox... which he shows no sign of climbing down from.

"Any time he wants to talk about it, I'm easy to find."...
