The great thing about being old, and that\u2019s why I recommend it to everybody, is that you don\u2019t have the anxiety you have when you\u2019re younger. What\u2019s there to be anxious about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the &#8216;Succession&#8217; star admitted his heavy workload has taken a toll and he gets a lot more &#8220;tired&#8221; than he used to.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI get tired, I get very tired &#8230; Yesterday I thought, \u2018I\u2019ll have a lie down,\u2019 and I woke up two hours later. That\u2019s never happened to me before. I thought: \u2018Oh, you are tired, Brian. You\u2019re quite exhausted.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBrian can next be seen on screen hosting &#8216;007: Road to a Million&#8217; and he admitted he is happy to consider almost any job if the pay is right.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI don\u2019t have any sense of grandeur \u2014 \u2018I shouldn\u2019t do this, I shouldn\u2019t do that.\u2019 I\u2019ll do anything. Within reason.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nAsked why the game show in particular, he added: \u201cI\u2019ve no idea. I think they paid quite well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Scottish star is worried that people take themselves too seriously these days.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I think people just take themselves far too f****** seriously. I really do think you have to have a sense of humour about your life. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And as you get older, you get to my age, I look at my life and I just look at the ludicrousness of life. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Because life is ludicrous as far as I\u2019m concerned.
