Succession star Sarah Snook is seen with her baby daughter for the first time as she enjoys a day out in London with husband Dave Lawson – after sweeping the board at award season

Sarah Snook took advantage of a production hiatus on Sunday as she ventured to London with husband Dave Lawson and their daughter.

The actress, best known for her starring role as Shiv Roy in HBO drama Succession, made her first public appearance with the nine-month-old, her only child, with Australian comedian Lawson.

Snook, 36, dressed in a gray sweater and sweatpants as she headed out with her family in the English capital, where she is currently on stage in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Lawson, 45, looked equally relaxed in a checked overshirt and jeans as they cradled their baby daughter in a papoose.

Snook took a well-deserved break with her family after bringing Wilde’s celebrated novel to the stage with an ambitious women’s play – in which she plays all 26 characters.

It follows a hugely successful awards season for Snook, whose role in Succession saw her triumph at the Critics Choice, Golden Globes and Emmy Awards.

However, in an interview with The Sunday timesSnook revealed that her path to superstardom and landing the role of Shiv Roy was anything but glamorous.

She described herself as “extremely depressed” as a teenager growing up in Sydney and putting herself through drama school because her parents were broke.

Snook attended the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney and recalled how people during lectures would make fun of her falling asleep because she had no energy because she couldn’t afford nutritious meals.

Sharing how she lived on white rice, she explained: “I was making $120 a week, the rent was $90 and $12 went to my phone. It was definitely character building.”

“No wonder I fell asleep in history theater classes,” she recalled. ‘I always fell asleep in the back row.

‘I raised my blood sugar and didn’t eat protein, I couldn’t afford it. People would bet on whether I would fall asleep.’

Snook felt “lost” after graduating in 2008 and started working at a cafe to make ends meet. The actress said she was down to her last A$10 before the acting work started rolling in.

She played several small roles in Australian films that won her awards and slowly made her way to becoming an established actress in 2015.

Snook played Apple entrepreneur Andrea Cunningham in the Hollywood biopic, making her West End debut alongside Ralph Fiennes.

When she was offered the role of Shiv, the actress admitted that she didn’t understand the appeal of a family of brats who were only interested in increasing their bank balance.

She said her friends questioned the character and assured them, “That was my reaction too!”

However, as the series progressed, Snook confessed that she had no choice but to root for Shiv, hoping that she would be the one to become CEO.

Now the movie star has more wealth than she ever imagined. It was reported that she earned £300,000 per episode during series three.

But she insists she is fully aware that it could all disappear tomorrow and she has made peace with the prospect that she could one day be penniless again.
