Sunday Read: Jeremy Strong Pours Himself Into Every Role
by Lynn Hirschberg for W Magazine
Whether it’s an episode of Succession or a 4,000-word profile piece, I will absolutely devour any and all Jeremy Strong content. Ignore the fact that Kendall Roy is the best television character of the 2020s. Take away his Emmys and Golden Globes. Forget that he might be a complete sociopath (you know, in the good way). Because what I know is this — When Jeremy Strong speaks, a lot of us listen.
And his recent interview with W Magazine confirms just that. Here’s an excerpt.
What is your secret skill?
I don’t know if it’s a skill or secret, but fashion is a passion. 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.
Do you have a favorite tailor?
There’s a guy named Geoffrey B. Small. He’s incredible. Everything is by hand and done with great care and exactitude. It’s meticulous and artisanal. You know, I’ve thought a lot about Tár recently, and this idea of the signal-to-noise ratio of life. 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.

New Episode › Retail Therapy 028: Gnomecore & Social Omnivores
With nearly a month between when we last recorded and now, Barrett and I had a lot of shifting vibes to take into consideration when scripting out this episode. Where we landed? Well, the podcasters are dressing like gnomes now, 'social omnivores' are leading the way for people being more conscious about their intakes of meat (and other things), going Retail Therapy Sober, wishlist items, keeping shoeboxes, and so much more.
