Succession star Jeremy Strong celebrates production wrap on the series finale by SHAVING his head
Just hours after the explosive finale of the Succession series aired on HBO, one of the show’s crew members shared how star Jeremy Strong celebrated: by getting his head shaved bald by his on-screen siblings.
Strong, 44, who plays Kendall Roy on the hit series, was seen in a video shared on Instagram by Succession production assistant Molly Minnie having 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, seeing that the top of his head is cleanly shaved as he smiles.
He tells their co-star Sarah Snook, 35, who plays Shiv Roy, to “get in there,” and hands the clippers to her as she begins to shave the sides and back of his head.
The clippers are then passed along to several other crew members, as a man named Joe asks, “Can I get in there?”

Joe: The clippers are then passed on to various other crew members, as a man named Joe asks, “Can I get in there?”
Powerful answers: ‘Yes, go in! Anyone 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 replies, “No!” as the room erupts in 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 several snaps from the last day on set, plus another video of Strong getting his head shaved… with a twist.
Snook shaves the right side of Strong’s head when Culkin pulls out an egg and smashes it onto Strong’s nearly bald head, which Snook didn’t expect.
Strong grabs the clippers from a stunned Snook as Culkin brushes part of the egg onto her face before they 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 in its first three seasons.
The show has won Outstanding Drama Series for two of its three seasons and is also likely to be one of the top contenders for this year’s Emmy Awards.

The show concluded its four seasons with Sunday night’s episode titled With Open Eyes, which revealed the fate of the Waystar Royco company, built by the late Logan Roy (Brian Cox), and its eventual successor.
While the 90-minute finale began with Roy’s siblings on different sides, they eventually came together and “anointed” Kendall as CEO as they tried to block the merger with Lukas Matsson’s (Alexander Skarsgard) Gojo and keep the company that their family founded.
Their plan ultimately failed, with Shiv deciding at the last minute that she could not support 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 during the four-season, 39-episode series.
