'Succession' Stars Nicholas Braun & Matthew Macfadyen Break Down Their Roles | Entertainment Weekly
/ ew - Zábava
Tom actually has more chemistry with Greg than with his own wife.
They're the two outsiders who kind of tangentially are part of the family.
@@ClueSign What I find disturbing and even painful is how Tom keeps trying to connect with Shiv and how she always pushes him away, like it's almost sadistic. I wonder if the interaction would be any different if Tom beolonged to the same circle.
@@cbojorquez It is disturbing how she is so aggressively cruel and dismissive of him; so willing to sacrifice him to the political machinations of her father, and even willing to exploit his love by declaring she wants an open marriage, but only AFTER they wed. Not nice.
@@ClueSign cruel, yes, but not that surprising given her upbringing. ): Succession is such a tragedy. No matter how dickish they are, I feel really bad for the Roy children. They were raised in a veritable minefield, formative years ripe with emotional abuse from their domineering father and otherwise antipathetic mother. Love was seen as a weakness, vulnerability, something to exploit; likewise, relationships were transactional, just another facet of business where there’s a winner and loser. As a result, Shiv can’t bring herself to open up to Tom. That would mean going against the (sad, messed up) values instilled in her practically from birth. I believe that Shiv loves Tom (Sarah Snook and MattMac have said as much), but she has such poor interpersonal effectiveness skills that it comes across as a cruel kind of half-love. As sad as it is, it’s really entertaining to watch. And it also highlights the disparity between Tom’s relationship with Shiv, who pushes him away, and Greg, who validates and strokes Tom’s ego. No wonder he loses his cool every time Greg stands his ground. That’s his emotional support egg.
@@tiredfrog308 "emotional support greg(g)
Tom and Greg are basically succession's power couple also I'll never get over the fact that they talk about their characters in first person.
Third person you mean?
@@nicoleloves9483 they do speak in first person a lot
A lot of actors do, I love it
You can’t make a tomlette without breaking some greggs
Well, someone had to say it I guess...
sent 67 times in one evening
this joke isn't even funny it's so overdone
67 times, can u imagine 🤣🤣
I think it’s now law in all fifty states. Someone has to make that comment if a video contains both Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyan talking about their characters.
"I would castrate you Greg and I'd marry you in a heartbeat" Tom Wambsgans
what a quote… those two are endgame
That was such a beautiful moment
The only honest thing Tom's ever said
I wonder if his character is really falling in love with cousin Greg. He only want to breed with Shiv. So it seems
“Will you come with me, Sporus?” If you know, you know
The fact that Matthew MacFadyen also plays Mr.Darcy is one of my favorite things
YES!
Him walking through the fog as Darcy!
You have bewitched me body and soul
Mathew is the reason I'm watching this show
Mr Darcy? Watch him in Little Dorrit, a BBC series, and you'll be blown away. Mr Darcy is nothing like that.
they are both so attractive in such a different way
Listening to Matthew is like a cup of hot chocolate in winter
Both actors are gifted with such awesome roles. Their dynamic doesn't feel unfamiliar, but I can't think of another show that's portrayed a relationship like this. They also help function more as audience surrogates, even central protagonists, since they're witnessing all the insanity from an outsider perspective.
The only thing that comes remotely close is Louis and Harold from Suits
kind of reminded me of the office's brian and the boss guy (don't remember his name) in comedic sense
They are very much simon and toby from in the loop which shares a scenarist with succession
My favourite insult was Tom telling Greg he could be the weirdest king in Europe
These guys always crack me up when they're on screen together. They're a classic comedy odd couple.
so now they're doing couples photoshoots
Its Nero and Sporus!
Let’s face it: Greg is playing Nicholas.
He’s playing himself
Sturdie birdie
Nicholas seems much more sure of himself.
When are we getting one of these for Roman and Gerri 😭
Ikr!!! I can hardly wait to see what happens between these two.
a couples photoshoot with them (where roman is tom leaning into greg) would save my life
Best dynamic duo in the show. Both Tom and Greg are actually very alone and misfit in this big mess of Roy family circus where everyone is busy in backstabbing another. Nic is right they both need someone in their lives to rely on. Very well written characters. Matthew is an incredible actor & Nic is very sweet. I would love to see them leaving Waystar Royco & setting up their own company together.
Ok but Matt's eyelashes are just plain amazing, just that.
Greg is Toms work wife. The Dynamic is brilliant. Batman and Robin. Terrible people but they are less terrible than the Roy's. Tom made it clear that he cares for Greg, every Tom needs a Sporus.
which will make it all the more devastating when Greg eventually kills Tom
this kid isn’t even acting he’s actually like that
The shot where they are sitting on the buildings - those are scale. These guys are really that big.
Yap, 6'3" and 6'7" two towers
Matthew is very tall, like Howard Stern-tall, which gives you an idea of how crazy tall Nicholas Braun is.
I couldn't take the smile of my face while watching this.
Macfayden is a beauty
4:17 its amazing how they keep surprising me what the hell is this
Nicholas Braun has very "kind" facial features...despite being 2m tall he radiates a very approachable and non-intimidating vibe...cool guy!
That’s how he gets women
Gregg has the best lines. "No comment!!! No Comment!!" - "You don't have to keep yelling 'no comment''"
I would love to see Nicholas Braun in a rom com, he’s got that sweet golden retriever energy 😄
"Suites at the tops of hotels"
Sounds like something Gregg would say lol
These guys have such incredible chemistry. Both brilliant actors
"when logan [gives a pat on the back] it's very important" he was giving us a spoiler without giving out who that was about...
never beating the allegations
and i’m grateful
I would like to see a spin off series with Tom and Greg sharing a cell, possibly a Porridge re-boot.
😂😂😂
MM is such a brilliant actor and on top he's got an extraordinary voice and good looks.
What I love about most about Tom isn’t Tom. It’s Matthew. I JUST LOVE HIS VOICE IDK WHY!! Tom is among the best characters in Succession as well but man, I wouldn’t like him as much if he was played by someone else. Matthew nailed this role!
It’s a mint you doofus 🤣🤣🤣
Toms married to Shiv but let’s be honest, Tom absolutely loves Greg
He's Sporus
4:20 the ship sail itself lollll
This show looks like a more serious, higher budget Arrested Development 😂😂😂
Lol you nailed it, maybe this is why I am obsessed with both then
Well I hope it stays good after season 3!! Loved 1-3 AD
More serious, yes, but it can also be just as funny as Arrested Development when they want to be.
I've been saying that for the longest time!
30 Rock with fancy clothes. Cousin Greg is Kenneth, Roman is Tracy Jordan, and Logan is Don Geiss.
Brilliant tv duo. Just brilliant chemistry y
Nicholas's dancing is doing something to me.
They need their own spinoff show
I agree, their characters do care about each other, in a way others on the show don’t.
I thought I did, but I did not understand how beautifully a man could love another man until this.
These are the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of Succession, and I want a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead-style sidequel when all is said and done.
\
nicholas braun is good in this show and all, but i prefer his performance in princess protection program, personally.
😂
lmaoao
fellow 22//23 year old? we old now huh? aha
Personally, same 😂😅
Have y’all seen minutemen?? Because that’s where he really shines haha 😂
These guy are the best part of the show for me!
Gregory chugging his rum and Coke is one of the “funniest” dramatic scenes you will ever see.
My favorite show for years. I’ve rewatched it about four or five times. I am so excited for the new episodes.
one of the best combo in TV history.
When these two are on-screen..it’s electric...you don’t know what’s going to happen
tom where the hell have you been loca
They totally belong together. ❤️
The greatest comedic elements of the show are these two together.
The other actors are good too, but somehow these two guys have the best chemistry on the show. Is this a coincidence? But the great love is still the money and power in this series and these things can ruin everything, even this nice and elusive chemistry.
Tom and Greg are my favorite part of the show, I would definitely watch a spin-off about them
Kendall should have bought Greg that watch he will regret it.
It's an incredible example of absurd wealth, where it's a huge favor introducing someone to a salesman so they can have the privilege of purchasing a 40k watch.
@varun prasad well we're only custodians after all
So facts
OK but Nicholas is slaying that pink/purple jacket
Cringe.
the casting is so good it feels like they’re still acting in this interview
The bromance is offscreen as well. Nice.
i want these two so bad its unreal
The photo shot that I didn’t know I needed. 😂
I fell in love with Matthew M after Joe Wright’s Pride and Prejudice in which he played the role of Mr Darcy. Hot-hot-hot!
I fell in love with Matthew when he starred in Spooks (called MI5 in North America).
Same here! -Kerrie
Nic teasing the season's ending at 5:27
Okay but why do they look like an artsy and fabulous gay couple who live in West Village at 2:38, 4:18 and 9:38
Actors
Matthew has really beautiful eyes.... 😊
love my tall boys
Those two are my favorite characters. Absolutely genius writing and acting. Tom! You scoundrel.
This was a great interview. Loved their outfits and the set too.
Tom and Greg are my OTP. 😍
So much tallness in one frame 😲😲
Man I can't wait to see them in season 4! Last two scenes in Season 3 were crazy
does anyone else remember when nicholas braun was in that disney channel movie “sky high” i’m still not over it
love that movie
something very lgbt is going on
LMFAO
They are C3PO And R2D2!
Love both characters. They've become like all famous duos!
HAHAHA accurate comment.
Nero and Sporus, ultimate power couple.
CANT THINK OF A BETTER DUO RN TBH! I LOVE THESE TWO! 🤍
Hahaha that slow mo lip to the finger
So... This is like a confirmation that this ship is happening? Because come on... Even they know they're the it couple of the show.
My two favorite characters. This show is so good!
Tom > all.
I love them together they are so funny! And can we talk about that amazing photoshoot??? They truly are Tom and Greg
These two are a couple for the ages, kinda like Dean and Jerry or Arnold and Danny. Just great character chemistry.
I wish that Greg has a comeback one time, just once!
Same! I've been waiting for his moment to crack!
Tbf, he did come back at Tom when Tom said Comfrey was out of Greg’s league and told Tom Shiv is out of Tom’s
Wow. Never thought I needed a video like that. Fucking legends both. Can't get enough of the wacky photoshoot of them🤣🤣
I needed this. Thank you.
Tom & Greg are the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern of Succession, but with more agency (as of end of season 3 anyway).
I am waiting to see when Greg will come out of his underdog status! I love to watch the dynamic of these duo.
Ah, Mr. Darcy
These 2 could have their own spinoff
I can't wait til Cousin Greg's arc is fully realized and he becomes CEO -- in season 4?
I fucking LOVE this relationship, can't wait until Greg fucks shit up. Which I'm sure is on the horizon!
Wow!!! Amazing interview...these two guys are on fire!!! Love, Matthew though!!!
This show gives me strong “The Office” (or arrested development) vibes, mainly because of the camera pans, but I thought their relationship was like Angela and Phyllis, where they’re competing over the better Christmas party lol.
Except it’s an uneven power dynamic with Tom over shading Greg
Greggy... he was dying of thirst and now's he's a mineral water critic. LOL
It’s a mint you dufus!! Lol
Boar on the floor scene is so epic! Like a train wreck, you cannot look away!
Nicholas rocking that GTA Vice City shirt like a champ!
My two favourite succession characters
Thank you for this
I love you both!!! AWESOME ANOINTINGS!!!
This show is amazing and these characters are phenomenal
Tom and Greg go to Tuscany. No insults here! Chased down the glorious set locations here czcams.com/video/dr5bnvTnVVw/video.html
Love these actors❤️
I love these two together!
