Just hours after the explosive Succession series finale aired on HBO, one of the show’s crew members shared how star Jeremy Strong celebrated: by getting his head shaved by his on-screen siblings.
Strong, 44, who plays Kendall Roy in the hit series, was seen in a video shared on social media, getting his head shaved by co-star Kieran Culkin.
Culkin, 40, who plays Roman Roy on the show, tells Strong to turn around and look in the mirror, as he sees the top of his head cleanly shaved as he laughs.
He tells their co-star Sarah Snook, 35, who plays Shiv Roy, to, ‘get in there,’ and passes the clippers to her as she starts shaving the sides and the back of his head.
The clippers are then passed around to several other crew members, as one man named Joe asks, ‘Can I get in there?’
Celebrate: Just hours after the explosive Succession series finale aired on HBO, one of the show’s crew members shared how star Jeremy Strong celebrated: by getting his head shaved by his on-screen siblings.
Shaved: Strong, 44, who plays Kendall Roy in the hit series, was seen in a video shared on Instagram by Succession production assistant Molly Minnie, getting his head shaved by co-star Kieran Culkin
Joe: The clippers are then passed around to several other crew members, as one man named Joe asks, ‘Can I get in there?’
Strong replies, ‘Yeah get in there! Anybody can get a crack,’ as Joe passes the clipper to Strong, who passes it to a female crew member.
Strong then asks Culkin, ‘Can I shave your head?’ but he emphatically responds, ‘No!’ as the room breaks into laughter.
Minnie also shared other videos on her Instagram story including one of Succession creator Jesse Armstrong and Snook singing the Joy Division classic Love Will Tear Us Apart.
She also shared a variety of snaps from the last day on set, plus another video of Strong getting his head shaved… with a twist.
Snook is seen shaving the right side of Strong’s head when Culkin pulls out an egg and smashes it on Strong’s nearly-bald head, which Snook was not expecting.
Strong takes the clippers from a stunned Snook as Culkin wipes some of the egg on her face before they both hug, before someone smashes an egg on Culkin’s head.
The show debuted in 2018 and has won a total of 13 Primetime Emmy Awards for its first three seasons.
The show has won Outstanding Drama Series for two of its three seasons, and will likely be a top contender for this year’s Emmy Awards as well.

The show wrapped up its four-season run with Sunday night’s episode entitled With Open Eyes, which revealed the fate of the Waystar Royco company built by the late Logan Roy (Brian Cox), and his ultimate successor.
While the 90-minute finale began with the Roy siblings on different sides, they ultimately came together, ‘anointing’ Kendall as the CEO as they try to block the merger with Lukas Matsson’s (Alexander Skarsgard) Gojo and keep the company their family created.
Their plan ultimately backfired, with Shiv deciding at the last minute she couldn’t back Kendall, leading to the board voting through the merger, with Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) being named the new CEO.
The final episode was written by series creator Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Mylod, who directed 16 episodes throughout the show’s four-season, 39-episode run.
