Matthew Macfadyen on Succession Season 3, THAT Nero conversation & his love of Shiv and Greg 

Roman and Gerri >

LITERALLY

They're brothers

@@lxuaes6915 Tom does not see Greg as a brother 😭 Matthew Macfadyen has said he sees both Shiv and Greg as loves of Tom and thats not even getting started of comparing them to Nero and Sporus lmfao

@@jsauceda9340 It's one-sided though, and Tom realizes that but he still wants Greg in his life. After the whole, "let's wrestle on the ground like chickens" incident, and Greg forcefully saying he doesn't want to be touched by Tom, I believe they have come to an understanding, and in the season 3 finale, when they hug it out, that was definitely a brotherly hug, and the reference to nero and sporus (specifically in the finale episode) was more tongue in cheek. Tom's reference to nero and spoorus in the earlier episode was more serious and a means of conveying his feeling towards Greg. I think at this point in the show, they're more like brothers.

its more of a one-sided bromance than a one-sided romance

@@jimzimmer2048 nah

@@jimzimmer2048 don’t think so, they would look so great together

@@jimzimmer2048 dude ur watching some other show. Both Matthew and Nicholas themselves are open about what exactly is Tom-Greg relationship.

What polyglot genius could crack your impenetrable code?

yeah he's begging to be loved and appreciated just like the rest of the Roys. Shiv could really have gotten a good husband if she had known how to reciprocate but instead the only one who shows Tom even a little bit of appreciation is Greg lol

It’s an English accent !

Like R2D2?

Weird. It's just like doing an impersonation. Not that it's easy to stay consistent but it's no different from doing sketches impersonating someone else. Remember, we grow up here exposed to American accents far more than Americans do English accents (not British as Britain is three countries). Not everybody is skilled or talented with affecting accents but they're not exotic to us.

Alot of British actors do that i.e. Idris Alba

They have coaches. Elsewhere Matthew says that both he and Sarah SNook would just have bad accent days from time to time. What is interesting is that they went with little to no specific Minnesota-isms in the accent. Tom is very generically midwestern in both his pronunciation and inflection. He IS, however, a twisted version of "Minnestota Nice" and at least the dog is named Mondale (who was a senator from MN).

She loves him but doesn't respect him. Her love language is what she saw as a child from her parents

He won!!!

​@@stacyb-r6931not really. He's a puppet CEO

What????

Probably. But, more than likely you're going to get your wish.

You were proven correct!!!

Me too BUT I think Tom could do better possibly because I feel like Shiv takes him for granted

I can't stop wondering how someone as awkward as Tom could get with a nutcracker like Shiv 💀💀💀

The duality of man with these two replies

right??? maybe he doesnt know if tom&greg are going to have some kind of relationship or maybe he knows but dont wanna spoil it

Sees himself as daddy maybe…

Macfadyen

Also great username

MacFayden. Change my mind

she's with him because he's her lap dog and does what she tells him to do. Her father overlooks her for her brothers. Tom is her safety net.

Wink wink
