NextImg:Jeremy Strong “Went Outside and Retched” After Drinking the Smoothie Fit for a King on ‘Succession’

One of the best scenes from the Succession series finale was also one of the lightest moments in the show: the three Roy siblings — Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) — sat in their mother’s kitchen making a smoothie to anoint Kendall the next CEO of the company their father Logan (Brian Cox) started.

The smoothie, which they called a “meal fit for a king” contained only the grossest ingredients imaginable in their mother’s sparse fridge and pantry: old cheese, freezer-burned ends of bread, hot sauce, eggs in the shell. The Roy siblings gleefully threw all of the ingredients in a blender and made (a willing) Kendall drink the concoction, and on the latest Succession podcast, Strong revealed that he did indeed drink that milkshake.

“What was in that mystery smoothie?” podcast host Kara Swisher asked Strong. “It wasn’t all those things, was it?”

Strong replied, “It was all those things. Oh, yeah.”

“We did it only a few times and I went outside and retched and jumped in the ocean and washed it off my hair,” he added. “And yeah, I did drink it.”

When Swisher told Strong, “You really are a Method actor,” he responded, “I wouldn’t know how not to drink it. He wants it that badly that he’s gonna drink whatever that is. But it was disgusting.”

Strong added that the scene, that final moment of levity, was actually the last scene that was filmed for the series: “It was a wonderful night, and we wrapped the show with that scene, that was the final thing we did.”

The house where the smoothie scene was filmed was located in Barbados, and given that it was the place where shooting ended, the cast appeared to have a blast at the wrap party after it was all over. A recent video that surfaced shows Culkin and Snook — still wearing the clothes they filmed in — shaving Strong’s head as part of the post-show celebration.

Culkin, mimicking the moment Roman pours the remains of the smoothie on Kendall’s head, appears to slap an egg on Strong’s head at the end of the video. After four seasons of sibling rivalry and cruel insults, this is exactly the memory we need as we send the show off.

Succession Seasons 1 through 4 are now streaming on Max.
