The world’s scariest boss Brian Cox is demanding workers to get away from their desks to help with their mental health.

The award-winning actor starred as Logan Roy in the TV drama Succession – based loosely on Rupert Murdoch’s empire.

However, this time round the 78-year-old has a new message for his workers encouraging them to put their mental health first.

Brian Cox has teamed up with sporting goods company Asics, to deliver an important message to office workers across the nation.

In the build up to World Mental Health day on 10 October, the actor has spoken out about the dangers of being stuck at a desk all day.

In the announcement video, Brian Cox admits that he is not the ‘deadliest thing in the office’.

With the actor admitting that actually it’s the desk, describing it as a killer.

He said: “Hello workers, another long day at the office.

“Boss being a meanie?

“Too bad, shut up, listen.

“I’ve got some important news.

“It turns out that I’m not the deadliest thing in the office.

“This is.”

He adds: “It’s a killer.

“Science has shown it can be bad for your mental health.

“But I don’t see you running away from it.”

Research has shown that after just two hours of desk-based working our mental state will begin to decline.

Whilst our stress levels rise significantly after four hours at a desk, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Luckily, both can be combated by just 15 minutes of exercise which completely reverse the effects.

Caroline Fisher, communications director at Asics, stated: “Spending hours at our desks can be a danger to our mental health.

“So ahead of World Mental Health Day on 10 October, we’ve enlisted Brian Cox to play the role of the ‘World’s Scariest Boss’ in a Public Service Announcement for office workers.

“We’re encouraging those who can, to take a Desk Break to move your mind.”
