Kieran Culkin and Claire Danes worked together on Burr Steers’ 2002 indie “Igby Goes Down,” in which Culkin played the angst-ridden 17-year-old title character to Danes’ slightly older Manhattan socialite Sookie Sapperstein.

This one is impossible,” she says. “I realized the movie you and I did together is over half of our lives ago,” Culkin says.

Brian Cox is opening up about the Succession series finale but the actor has not watched how the show ended on HBO.
