Long interview with the extremely self-serious (bot oddly likable) Jeremy Strong of "Succession"

I feel exactly about Strong in this interview the way the interviewer does:

[quote] My tolerance for thespy actor chat is usually pretty low (oh, you think acting is such a profound profession? Allow me to introduce you to brain surgery). But, to my surprise, I enjoy it from Strong, and it takes me a while to figure out why. Finally, as our interview runs on far past our allotted time, I get it: often when actors wax on about how they lived among sheep for a year to play a shepherd, it feels as if they’re stroking their ego, but with Strong, it feels like endearing enthusiasm. Every conversation with him, whatever the subject, whirlpools back to acting, like a person who can’t stop talking about their true love, or a child on their favourite obsession. Also, he has the talents to justify the talk.

His intensity is really sexy.

Whenever I see him I think of that scene in "Succession"'s second season where he discovers he shit the bed at the estate of the liberal wealthy family.

His sex appeal and that of Murray Bartlett from "The White Lotus" have been ruined for me forever by those shitting scenes they did for HBO--I think of them, and I can't help but think of them shitting.

Jeremy has his Strong suits. Hopefully one of them is leather.

According to Wikipedia, he lives in Copenhagen with his wife; a Danish born psychiatrist.

1) I could have sworn he was gay; 2) His intense personality in this interview isn’t endearing. It’s obnoxious; and 3) I still love his character Kendall.

He seems like he'd be an extremely fun, intense fuck.
