Jeremy Strong stays in costume all the time while shooting Succession

“I don’t know if it’s a skill or secret, but fashion is a passion,” the The Trial Of The Chicago 7 actor says when asked about his secret skill. “I pick out all the wardrobe for Kendall Roy, my character in Succession, and I live in those clothes when we’re shooting the show. The clothes maketh the man, and aesthetics are so personal.”

Strong has previously been spotted wearing Kendall’s necklace from the pivotal season three episode “Too Much Birthday” on the red carpet. The limited edition pendant features art from Rashid Johnson’s Anxious Men series.

“You know, I’ve thought a lot about Tár recently, and this idea of the signal-to-noise ratio of life,” Strong continues. “When we’re bombarded with so much noise, I guess there are certain clothes makers who embody an ethos that I’m drawn to. There’s a designer named Haans Nicholas Mott. Everything is hand-stitched, and everything is done with precision and soul. I guess precision and soul are things that I look for in acting and everything.”

In the year since the New Yorker published a widely talked-about profile of Strong detailing his unique eccentricities that help him get into character, it seems like the actor has decided to just really lean into being That Guy. Good for him, not everyone has that level of self awareness!
