Scottish Actor and Succession star Brian Cox has built his career on hot-headed characters, taking on the “world’s scariest boss” role for ASICS‘ World Mental Health Day campaign. The 1-minute clip shows Cox sitting at his daunting wooden desk, revealing new data that threatens your mental health at work.

The cool boss tells us to stand up and move around, showcasing his principal style in a formal blazer paired with pleated shorts and ASICS runners.
