Succession's Jeremy Strong transforms from Kendall Roy character with silver hair

Succession Star Jeremy Strong sported a new sliver hairstyle and designer stubble as he joined red carpet royalty for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The 43-year-old HBO star stepped out for the annual awards ceremony last night and noticeably swapped out his on-screen character Kendall Roy's jet black hair signature style.

Appearing on stage in a stand out velvet fuchsia suit, which he paired with a statement silver shirt and matching bow tie, he posed with co-stars before the cast scooped the trophy for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

The actor is famed for fully immersing himself in his characters which his co-stars have sighted can result injuries as he goes to 'extreme ends' for his work.

Jessica Chastain, who co-starred with Jeremy in Zero Dark Thirty, praised Strong's commitment to his roles after a controversial New Yorker profile.

The actress, who herself won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, tweeted on December 7: "I've known Jeremy Strong for 20yrs & worked with him on 2 films. He's a lovely person. Very inspiring & passionate about his work. The profile that came out on him was incredibly one sided. Don't believe everything you read folks."

She added: ''Snark sells but maybe its time we move beyond it.''

Brian Cox, who plays Strong's esteemed father in Succession, shared his admiration for Jeremy's performances on screen but worried that he might be damaging himself long-term.

"The result that Jeremy gets is always pretty tremendous,' he admitted. 'I just worry about what he does to himself. I worry about the crises he puts himself through in order to prepare."

The Succession stars including Strong, Keran Culkin, Brian Cox and Sarah Snook took to the stage as they were honoured with the prestigious ensemble award, with a powerful acceptance speech by on-screen patriarch Brian.

The 75-year-old actor was one of several stars to pay tribute to those impacted by the Ukrainian crisis describing the invasion as 'truly awful'.

The show's Sarah Snook, who plays the role of Shiv Roy, was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. Jung Ho-yeon of Squid Game won the award.

In the category of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series, Cox, Strong and Culkin were competing against one another, but lost to Lee Jung-jae of Squid Game.
