"Succession" star Jeremy Strong

[@HollyLou223]

Breaks my heart how mocked and bullied he so often is by the press, for daring to be an ambitious working class person. I thought people wanted eccentric celebrities? Apparently not. He’s a hero to me, I appreciate his obvious passion for what he does

[@racourdav]

How is this the fault of the press? The press wouldn’t have a story were it not for his coworkers griping about it in interviews. I’m not a huge fan of the press but people need to stop blaming them for everything! BTW, I am a huge fan of Jeremy and I felt his pain when he said the stories hurt him.

[@sanjulienne]

Strong is about the work and in the day and age of celebrity, Instagram and playing to the audience that kind of laser focus feels odd and contrived to so many. It's like the person that buys something SHOWY to wear in an order to illicit compliments vs the person that just wants to look nice. They just don't get it and they likely never will. Understatement is dead.

Easily. I can't imagine a show coming along that tops Succession for a long, long time.

Actors and musicians are traditionally horrible at expressing their connection to their art, because they are communicating via that craft. One thing I know…I absolutely CAN NOT do what they do. It’s a talent far beyond me. So a lot of respect to those who can do it.

Strong acts so well in Succession that Kendall Roy feels like a real person. So yea if he method acts or not who cares. All that matters is the results.

[@PaulTraces]

That New Yorker piece by that journalist was the ultimate betrayal of trust that I’ve ever seen between a journalist and actor/artist, completely betrayed the sense of the openness that Jeremy allowed them just to make him look as Jeremy says ‘foolish’ which was so unfair.

@@nadagabri5783 I think you're talking about the very video you've just commented under. But yeah, I've seen a couple of his interviews and he can come across as a little fake or pretencious. What I find unfair is for critics to pick on him and his methods when it comes to acting. He's proven to be an immensely talented actor. No one picks on Joaquin Phoenix or Daniel Day Lewis for their mega commitment on roles, but it seems like an actor seen as a little guy isn't allowed to do the same. I don't really agree on Brian Cox being a superstar though. Talented actor for sure, but he's approaching his retirement and hasn't landed a huge role in his entire career to this day.

After seeing Jeremy and reading interviews he was more than ready to be done with Kendall.....I am starting to think that Jessie Armstrong creator let that weight in his decision, seemed like Brian Cox and Jeremy were done in their heart of hearts and the creator thought as successful and beloved as our show is--if the two powerhouses were tapped out emotionally it wouldnt be smart decision to do another year..........Going forward HBO, Showtime, Paramount, all the heavy hitters should have these shows sign on for 5 years to get their commitment......just when the audience is all in, they bail...........can see all sides....
