‘Succession’ star Jeremy Strong: I drank the gross ‘spit’ smoothie in finale

WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from the series finale of “Succession.”

He had a strong gut.

Actor Jeremy Strong, 44, revealed that he actually drank the disgusting “king” smoothie that was made for him by Sarah Snook, 35, and Kieran Culkin, 40, for the series finale that aired on Max Sunday night, according to the official “Succession” podcast.

The questionably safe concoction appeared midway through the episode when all three Roy siblings — Kendall (Strong), Roman (Culkin) and Shiv (Snook) — were grouped around their mother’s kitchen table, debating the fate of their late father’s (Brian Cox) media empire.

In a fit of good-natured teasing, both Shiv and Roman decided to “haze” their brother by throwing several different ingredients — including milk, Tabasco hot sauce, bread crusts, Branston pickle, raw eggs and cocoa powder — into a blender to create a vomit-colored smoothie.

To top off the sickening-looking beverage that the Roy siblings deemed “fit for a king,” Snook added just a drop of her own spit.

“You’re going to be a great CEO,” Shiv told Kendall in the emotionally charged scene. “I really think that — if this doesn’t kill you, which it definitely will.”

Encouraged by his siblings, Kendall took a massive gulp of the smoothie before he swore off the remainder of it.

Speaking to the podcast on Monday, Strong told host Kara Swisher that he drank “all those things” that Snook and Culkin put in the blender.

“We did it only a few times, and then I went outside and retched, and jumped in the ocean, and washed it off my hair,” said the 44-year-old. “Yeah, I did drink it, yeah.”

According to Strong, the only reason he drank it was because he knew that if Kendall was real, he would have done the same.

“I wouldn’t know how not to drink it, continued Strong. “He wants it that badly, that he’s going to drink whatever that is. But it was disgusting.”

The Post reached out to Strong for comment.

This is not the first time Strong’s method acting has been called out on the show.

Strong went viral in 2021 after he revealed his creative abilities during an interview with the New Yorker.

Brain Cox, who plays on-screen patriarch Logan Roy, lambasted his acting style.

“It’s f – – king annoying,” Cox said of Strong always being in character. “Don’t get me going on it.”

“I’ve worked with intense actors before. It’s a particularly American disease, I think, this inability to separate yourself off while you’re doing the job,” Cox told the New Yorker.

“The result that Jeremy gets is always pretty tremendous,” Cox continued. “I just worry about what he does to himself. I worry about the crises he puts himself through in order to prepare.”

This past February, he seemingly soft-pedaled his previous assertions a bit.

“He’s a very good actor. And the rest of the ensemble is all OK with this. But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set,” Cox, 76, explained in an interview with Town & Country.

Since then, Strong appeared in a March 2023 cover interview with GQ in which he said Cox had earned the right to voice his opinions.

“Everyone’s entitled to have their feelings. I also think Brian Cox, for example, he’s earned the right to say whatever the f – – k he wants,” stated Strong. “There was no need to address that or do damage control.”

“I feel a lot of love for my siblings and my father on the show. And it is like a family in the sense that, and I’m sure they would say this, too, you don’t always like the people that you love. I do always respect them,” Strong continued.

The entire series of “Succession” is now streaming on Max.
