In an interview with The Times of London, Strong shared that he struggled for the four seasons that HBO's "Succession" was on the air, saying that during his tenure as Kendall on the dark comedy about an American media family, he imagined terrible things happening to himself to prepare for the mentally anguished character.

Although the Emmy-winning HBO series was “an incalculable gift” for the actor, he says that his immersive method on the show “fucked me up.”

Strong isn't the only Succession alum against returning to the Roy family drama. At the 2024 Golden Globes, his former costar Kieran Culkin, who played Roman Roy, said, "I feel like I should have a joke for this, but I feel like a spinoff is a horrible idea ."

Succession” star Jeremy Strong, 45, who infamously got criticized by his own onscreen dad for his method acting, is opening up about how playing Kendall Roy “f–cked me up.”

Jeremy Strong's take on the character of Kendall Roy on HBO's Succession won over many fans. However, the award-winning actor shared that he would not want to play the difficult character again.
