AceShowbiz - Jeremy Strong has opened up about the profound impact playing Kendall Roy on "Succession" had on his mental well-being. The actor stated that he "sometimes lost touch with joy" while embodying the character and admitted that it "f**ked [him] up." Since leaving the role, Strong has prioritized his mental health, attending silent meditation retreats and rediscovering the joy in his life.

Despite the challenges he faced with 'Succession,' Strong expressed appreciation for the experience, calling it an "incalculable gift." However, he emphasized that he does not miss carrying Kendall's burden anymore.

In other news related to the awards-winning actor, Strong discussed his role as Roy Cohn in "The Apprentice", highlighting the film's significance as a reflection of Cohn's influence on Donald Trump. He described the film as a "Frankenstein movie" that explores the legacy of denial and hatred passed down to Trump.

Initially, every studio passed on "The Apprentice" due to fear of litigation from Trump's campaign. However, Strong believes the film's portrayal of Trump's formative years in the 1970s is accurate, as it demonstrates the impact of Cohn's tutelage on Trump's worldview.
