this is the most jeremy strong thing i’ve ever seen
i love the two pairs of sunglasses “so he knows where one ends and the other begins” but they’re just identical. he knows he’s so kendall (with fewer daddy issues)
lmao he's literally ruined this for anyone who does this afterwards, his answers were just too intelligent haha
@@lakshmi4224 i love how intelligent he is i wish i was like that
I know I’m obsessed with it
hahahahahh
I worked on the scotland section of season 2 of succession and jeremy is most definitely the most method actor I've ever met. Very quiet, always listening to music, never really spoke to anyone... until we wrapped and he was the nicest dude ever. also that rap scene was amazing to be apart of...
What was your role or job?
@@akf2000 I was an assistant director
how can i get that job?
@@alonsomorante990 Most AD's are discovered in youtube comments sections actually
@@Aidan-qc7mq 99.9%, actually.
Jeremy Strong is who Cole Sprouse wants to be.
Yooo this is on point. Bizzarely accurate.
Except Cole has been famous way longer and his career is for sure more interesting than this “oooh I’m a method actor and I’m so deep and weird, everyone look at me” character😅
@@FreeWilly22 lol, he's still stuck in Riverdale(no ones watching it), but keep defending the wanna be cool!
@@FreeWilly22 explain more
@@atekap4651 he's been famous since they(He and Dylan) were 6 years old in Big Daddy, long before this weird coke addict was a successful actor, you gen-z weirdo
I found it so significant that when talking about the sunglasses he says at 4:47 "so I do know when one ends and where the other begins" with a smirk on his face. I believe he's aware of the criticism he gets for method, doesn't care and has a healthy boundary and is stating it here. Just pure dedication to his craft. Respect.
You gotta admit that it was kinda funny to hear him say he had the character Ken's pair with the KLR initials, and his own personal pair with...KLR initials.🤦♂️🤣
I interpreted it completely differently; his joke implied that he DOESN"T really know where a role begins or ends, but made it a dig at himself.
@@Thisath100 you're correct, that comment was definitely tongue-in-cheek...
yeah because those are also planted journalism. idiot.
Method of wht?
His character in succession?
Lol, whts there to method, simple jack has more depth .
Lets not act like the show is tht good.
THEY SPEND MORE MONEY ON locations than anything else.
Show is making fun of itself in a way.
please get Jeremy Strong on Hot Ones.
I was thinking the same. It would be awsome.
this would be incredible
Existential crisis wings
@@taylorcoward17 😂😂 exactly. That would be so flipping funny to watch, bless his heart.
Yes!
I really enjoy the fact that he seems to be looking at the person sitting somewhere behind the camera a lot of the time, instead of actually looking at the camera. This, along with his cadence and just honest way of being and speaking makes it feel like an actual conversation that you get to be apart of, instead of some meaningless promotional video, which I like
Nice catch
i see this comment every video of this show about every celebrity lol
@@kaynekillerbee3782 LOL that's fair, I haven't watched any of the other videos
I just love Jeremy. I get how some people think he's a bit much but in a world where everyone tries to fit everything into a sound bite or oversimplify everything, it's so refreshing to hear someone think and speak deeply about things.
He wants you to think that, so badly, so I guess he’s doing something right
@@FreeWilly22 Bit cynical ...
@@clouise7626 bit dense and gullible
@@FreeWilly22 not every intellectual is trying to manipulate you lmao. Cringey or not, he seems authentic, and believing that is perfectly reasonable
@@FreeWilly22 why are you commenting on everything under this video if you don’t like jeremy strong you don’t have to watch the video
He is, in my opinion, the coolest celebrity. I wish more actors would talk about their craft like it’s an actual craft. He’s one the few newishly famous actors I’ve seen who seems to enjoy talking about technique. I love people who are pretentious and down to earth at the same time.
Yes! The other one that does this is Jeff Daniels, so committed.
Very serious though. Feel like he could do with a good laugh!
@@IndieRockerHippy he seems hilarious to me!
I wonder if we might also call him a reluctant celebrity? And that might be the key to his coolness? 🙂
@@gabrielceballos5086 Adam Driver too
he always manages to be so needlessly deep and intelligent without sounding pretentious. what a man
I mean...it's a little pretentious. This is segment where people share their favorite snacks etc. I think he's in earnest, though. He wants to share his favorite art and literature.
he does sound pretentious and that’s okay to admit
@@laurawestenra its things you cant live without. to him the deep side of art and acting is what is important and perhaps he has to buy into that to be as good as he is. He isnt talking down about his interests hes just sharing quotes and things that have helped him in his journey. Better to hear who someone truly is than to see them tell us they cant live without a bag of Cheetos or their Gucci bag one more time.
I think he’s incredibly pretentious, but he’s not putting on airs. It’s just who he is. And that’s chill
he’s totally pretentious and I think he’d be the first to admit that, that’s the thing
I love how devoted he’s to his craft and how he cherishes objects.
I love how 1900+ users upvoted your comment, yet not even one of them bothered to write a reply.
I am not calling you a bot , however, this whole situation is statistically unlikely.
I just feel they just casted a Kendell as Kendell.
Yeah, next step is hoarding lol
@@MyaB1986 people say when you got 4walls and a roof, anything else is hoarding
“so i do know where one ends and the other begins” is so shady, i love it
my sassy king
@@ilovesleep66 LOL
Oh wow it just clicked on what he meant 😅😅😅
i don't understand what he meant by that 😭 can someone explain?
@@bbpoltergeistsI think it’s bc he was criticized for being “too method”
I love how unapologetically himself he is, he has no fear of looking pretentious. Definitely one of my favorite actors.
this man’s ability to quote obscure artists and creatives never ceases to amaze me
Rilke is not obscure.
None of those books are obscure. They're only obscure since most people do not read because they read at a 4th-grade level.
@@Pantano63 i’m not only talking about the authors he mentions, he references multiple visual artists throughout the video that i personally have never heard of. not everything is a competition to see who’s the most cultured bud.
@@robertsweet1500 who cares
@@Julia-hj7nn "🤓 ackshually i know everybody, pretty basic stuff"... yeah man, annoying people lol
He's not pretentious because he's not trying to show off as someone he isn't, hes actually interested and passionate about culture and art.
The best episode of this series! He's the introvert's dream: we all would love to be able to express our own inner world with the depthness it deserves, but not always we're able to.
I love how you said this ❤
frfr
Beautifully said. As an introvert I completely relate to this.
Read more and I guarantee you will be able to better articulate.
100%
he was the most prepared and sincere guy on this segment, he took the assignment very seriously and it was great to hear and watch how he does not care to appear cool or hip, he's just himself through and through, was nice to learn someone takes his job seriously and is not afraid to show it, also - kudos for the book refferals
Well yes and no, this wasn’t 10
Lol, this whole video was him trying to appear hip and cool
It's really nice to see how proud and invested all the actors are in Succession
It is the greatest show of the decade so it makes sense
also every actor just understands their character so well and they don't speak much about what other characters are thinking or doing. Mind their own business, stick to their own side of the script. All this works because the writer is competent obviously but a very well put together cast
okay at this point imma need 6 hours of him doing a podcast ONLY talking about his books and make a podcast series where he talks for hours of this like i cant get enough of it. he is so well-spoken, gets into deeper meanings without sounding cringey AND has a very soothing voice?? I'M BEGGING YOU TO DO A PODCAST JEREMY STRONG. DO IT
OMG yes!!!
Jeremy was absolutely born to play Kendall, and Kendall was created to be portrayed by Jeremy, complete symbiosis
There's just something so endearing about Jeremy Strong, I'm completely smitten... I know he comes across as pretentious to some people, but the thing with the word "pretentious" is that it refers to pretending, to doing something or pretending to be something in order to impress. Whatever Jeremy does is the opposite of pretending: he's so painfully earnest it can be cringy at times, but I find it very refreshing and completely adorable for some reason. I mean the guy goes to great lengths to describe how even acting is never "pretending" for him, like he's literally unable to pretend. I just really love and appreciate the Jeremy Strongs of this world ❤️
Same 💕
^^ so well put!!
Why dont you blow him already?
Exactly!
Google 'pretense' lol
The books he mentions in this video:
1. Diaries by Alma Mahler-Werfel
2. The Spectator Bird by Wallace Stegner
3. Inner Wor: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth by Robert A. Johnson
4. The Caretaker by Harold Pinter
5. The Actor and the Target by Declan Donnellan
6. Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn
7. Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
8. Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke 1892-1910 by Rilke Maria Rainer
9. In Search of Lost Time, Volume II: Within A Budding Grove by Marcel Proust
10. Light Years by James Salter (he didn't mention this one in the video but he brought the book)
11. My Struggle: Book 1 by Karl Ove Knausgård
Thank you
Thank you SO MUCH.
Thank you for this!!!
I've read My Struggle (1-3, so far). Such a beautiful and real writer. Veered off on a John Irving (also a fabulous and real writer) trip, but will dive back into My Struggle 4 very soon. I miss it.
Ugh taste
I think it's interesting that so many people are calling him pretentious. When the definition of that is someone putting on a front of education, or sophistication. The reality seems to be that it's *not* pretension. He actually *is* that person. It's just that we see so little of that kind of thing, it's almost hard to believe it.
Exactly my thoughts^^
It's very true and very sad.
beautifully put
Spot on
Jeremy Strong is such a rare, special person. So naturally emotional and sensitive to life and its wonders. Since watching Succession and seeing him play Kendall so well I was super interested on his take on how he plays him, which led down a rabbit hole of just enjoying him as a person. He is so vulnerable and humble, so appreciative of everything he has been given in life. He is incredibly well-read/cultured as well, and just so innately intelligent. Super refreshing to listen to with all the noise around us.
Jeremy Strong just ruined this segment for anyone to come on in the future. What an intelligent, deep, vulnerable conversation.
indeed, he's way too intelligent for the majority of Hollywood lmao
We will never again be able to take seriously “now here’s my favorite face cream” …
He’s just an “acting nerd” and seems to be an actually nice guy who just takes himself/his job seriously and I hope he is as nice as he sounds. He seems to be really intelligent. To me he’s endearing and adorable.
Gotta respect the dedication of this man to his roles
T
And to sunglasses
A serious man in a time when so many are afraid to look serious. I admire his deep appreciation for what he does and how he gives everything he does his all.
He is serious people.
@@MrDacedric "none of you are serious people"
To those people calling Jeremy Strong "pretentious", please stop. Just because you don't know the artists he has mentioned or the books he has read, does not make him pretentious. Those are his likes, period. You just need to do more reading or researching.
i’m so obsessed with him i need to read every book he talked about immediately
EXACTLYYY im so obsessed i need every book rn
srsly I may sound like a pick-me here but I can vouch for almost everything he suggests, especially the Rilke, Eliot, and "The Actor and the Target" (I studied English lit AND acting at school, haha, so a lot of these were familiar to me! it's fun to hear them talked about in a video like this!)
He was talking about THAT scene (he should've won an Emmy for)
which scene exactly?
@@devinbooth4728 where he is sitting on the ground at the end of season three
Where he shits the bed??
@@Sara-hhhh lmao no it's the very last episode, he has a mental breakdown and confesses the car crash to his siblings.
@@lakshmi4224 oh yes I misread your comment and thought you said the season where he won an Emmy lol. Totally deserved it for season 3 too!
Never realized what an intellectual and interesting person Jeremy Strong is... hearing his thoughts and process gives a much heavier meaning behind his fantastic acting. And he really flipped this interview format on its head haha
His appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast was cool. Guy went really deep into the minutiae of his craft
He went to Yale!
I can see how some people might see him as too intense but I think he’s just a very genuine guy. I appreciate the sincerity of this list. He’s respecting the audience by being authentic and honest and I’m simply moved by it and give him respect in return.
People tend to think passionate people are intense
This episode is much more inspirational and personal when it comes to understanding who the guest really is as a person. Rather than seeing their favourite granola or famous brand watches, you feel a deeper connection and notice how deeply invested he is to his craft as an actor, even more as an intellectual. You can literally tell whatever he brought had a real personal connection with him, pure genuinity.
And yes he's one the most successful casting choices for Kendall Roy in TV history.
Absolutely love this guy. His raw authenticity is utterly captivating. No wonder he’s such an incredible actor.
i keep going back to 5:56; the way he at first doesn’t know what it is and then you see the realization wash over him and his breath catches really shows how emotionally attached he is to kendall and how deeply he feels for and with him. i love his love for this character and his craft overall so much, this was a wonderful interview with him
Jeremy as Kendall Roy is easily one of the most iconic and nuanced performances I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Such a talented, interesting and intelligent individual who also seems so kind. I really admire him, what a special once in a lifetime actor.
True to Jeremy Strong's character, he gave his best to this usually "minor" segment with intelligence, insight, thoughtfulness and care. I appreciated it, and will remember it.
the way he keeps talking in the first person, as though he is kendall. “my sister’s wedding.”
Amazing to see how he looks at each character he played as "fragments of life" he gone through. True dedication to the craft, refreshing to see.
Jeremy is too cool for school. He's such an understated yet deep and mysterious person, that projects into something extremely fascinating and inspiring. If I was a director I would headhunt this guy instantly ... he's gold in any angle and can be shaped to perfection easily!! Really looking forward to see him land the character of his life. It's coming.
I honestly think it's Kendall. I've seen him kill it in other roles but that character seems to resonate the most with people. But of course his career will be long and everyone is gonna have a different favourite performance
I think he’s the least cool guy ever, which is exactly what maies him so funny/cringey in Succession
he's a true artist, it shows,
This is the best episode yet of this series.
Any other person having these essentials would seem snobby, or like they're trying to seem deeper than they really are. Jeremy Strong, however, seems so genuine and authentic
I love how seriously he takes his job; it clearly pays off. Rewatching Succession now and he’s incredible.
I could listen to him talk about anything for hours. What talented and incredible guy.
he's prolly one of the most chill, most talented people you'll see. can't freaking wait for season 4!!!!
His "Shivy Shivy Shivy" still haunts me to this day
thats wild to ask your newly sober friend what they would order if they were gonna go off the wagon LOL
He backs up all his “actory” stuff with actual incredible acting. God, that show is flawless.
the thing I love about Jermy is that what you see is what you get, he actually talks and thinks like that and he ownes up to it. And I find it that to be not only poetic and artistic but actually inspiring being truly who you are, never stop being you Jermy OG
Say whatever you want about him, he is probably one of the most sincere people in Hollywood. You can tell he believes & stands behind everything he says & does. I admire that
Jeremy Strong is the reason I started watching Succession. This man is such a talented powerhouse. Please don't let them get you to do any of those DC and Marvel garbage movies Jeremy. You are a treasure.
Jeremy Strong plays Jeremy Strong in Succession
Man I am so glad there people like Jeremy still. People who put a lot of thought into things and who actually READ BOOKS. Sometimes I think I'm alone in this.
I love the way he views acting and his deep attachment to his roles. He really gives everything every time. Such a nice little window into his process and what he views important in life
such an inspiring actor, I love the way he talks about literally everything in this video. Honestly this was the best episode ever and made me love him even more and more. Can't wait for succession season 4.
This video was by far the best 10 things I’ve seen… I had missed seeing someone who talked about something they loved in such a profound and well thought out way…
He's more than an actor. There would never be anyone like him. I hope he continues to get amazing roles after Succession.
Such a brilliant episode! So glad you guys brought him on here. His items were very unique & intentional . You can tell how invested he is in his art. Very inspiring.
He's so incredibly fascinating. I could listen to him talk for hours
This guy should win an Emmy for top 10 things performance.
god i’m just so grateful this dude is acting and sharing his outlook and method with us!! he makes seriousness and intensity cool to me and has genuinely inspired me to be more earnest when expressing myself❤
This is so ridiculously absurd but also iconic. We don’t deserve him !!!!!
It takes a very special kind of charisma to speak about things the way he does without coming off pretentious and snobby. Most actors who describe their "craft" in this way would make me cringe, but he seems authentically passionate in a way that is endearing.
I love listening to him. Every time, I leave with something new I’ve learned: insight into the creative process, a poem to read, or a chuckle at his dry and whip-smart sense of humor.
The amount of thought and care JS brought to this segment is amazing! Really felt like a peak into the man behind the things - a man who is deeply in love with his craft.
he's really passionate about his craft and art in general that it's so endearing to watch. i want more of this actually, an overview of an artist's creative process and how they feel when it's all over.
i love the way he gives the various artists credit by name. so many awesome recs to dive into. really respect how this guy shows up as, at least in the manicured "public eye"
i could listen to him talk all day he’s a true actor and has such a rich soul 😭❤️
he’s a beautiful person. creative and appreciative of creativity of others. I’m happy when I see his rare interviews. feels like he belongs to the world of movies. in a very good sense of it.
god he’s so captivating. just the care he takes with everything he says … love him
Love Jeremy Strong. You can tell he’s in Kendall mode rn
Agreed!
i genuinely love his brain
i really can't explain how mesmerized I am by him. what a clever, humble and interesting person
The fact that he almost played Roman makes me so mad. HE IS Kendall Roy and no one else could have played that role to perfection like him 👏🏼👏🏼
What an incredible actor, his passion is so inspiring. I wish I could listen to him talking more about books btw
What's incredible is that I can see both Jeremy and Kendall at the same time while watching this. I know his acting methods are controversial to some, but I liked when he said "I know when one ends and the other begins"
A very profound interview...not seen in such a long time. Thank you, Jeremy-Kendall!
this is the best, the BEST 10 things i can't live without video EVER. I got to know him as a person, as an artist, and as a consumer of art. Perfect.
Him smiling is my daily medicine. Also i love that he has those props with him.
We want the Director's Cut version of this lasting 2 hours as it actually did.
Interesting how Kendall's initials are KLR...killer
Wow
Binder as an exoskeleton. Love him so much. Also as an actor he’s so inspiring to me. He’s fantastic and super weird and I will never not love him
i am all convinced to read all those books he liked. also, i have to praise how Jeremy explained each books effortlessly inteligence.
I appreciate his willingness to be vulnerable and open for something as small as a fun GQ segment. It seems like men's stories, viewpoints, and influence are what brings meaning to his life.
kendall roy plays jeremy so well
I love this man. Succession is one of my fav shows of all time can't wait for season 4
One of the more in-depth episodes of this series, ever. Excellent.
Flash?😳
I love this man! His dept, his character and love for his craft show through. I can watch this man talk all day ❤
I'd just like to say thank you to jeremy for being authentic and allowing us such intimate and personal insight. It's really refreshing to see people being so real these days
It’s really awesome how proud he is of succession. It really is a special show
He seems to have so much depth, so cool to hear him quote artists and works.
His stare and low voice are hypnothical, mesmerizing. At the same time, it kind of scares me
Cool.
Brilliant actor. Hope to see him in more stuff
jeremy seems to take everything he does seriously and earnestly, without coming off as a jerk. GQ gave him homework for this little video and he still gave it his all
"The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity." - Man...did I need to hear that today. Thanks Jeremy...and Glenn!
I love seeing Jeremy so happy and himself in this interview. ❤❤❤
he's so so self serious i truly love him so much
Can't wait for the next season of Succession, Jeremy has been s show stealer
So very insightful. Took "10 Things You Can't Live Without" to heart.
