I like how Kieran Culkin is just basically Roman Roy after he’s gotten the therapy he needs.
😂😂
I'm fully convinced that he's hardly acting... And trust me, I love Roman Roy
I legitimately laughed out loud. Bravo!
Vice versa
A lot of actors are like that, haha. But Kieran is perfect for the role, yes.
Kieran naming Connor as the most evil character is the most Roman thing ever
Well didn't he lock him into the dog's cage when he was a kid?
@@assianeu197 that was Kendall
@@assianeu197he liked it
He isn’t wrong though
Wasn't he interested in politics from a very young age?
"Kieran Culkin ranks every succession character" *ranks one character*
thank you; wish more people pointed that out
Someone edited out nine
It was a nice interview, but because of that clickbait title it deserves a thumb down
Exactly. Thumbs down.
you watched it though didnt you
I've always thought of Connor as too dumb to be evil, but he's totally right.
And he wants to be president. lol
you CAN be both dumb and evil! shocker!
Yeah he’s essentially trump lol
I feel like people think sort-of the same thing about greg, but greg is a two-faced social climber, and from what I've seen has the least moral principles of all of them. he's nervous, insecure and a pushover (and maybe the most relatable to viewers due to his position), but it's always about saving himself. tom is similar, but actually seems to have some values/feelings, and puts others first occasionally (like the favour he did for greg). imo connor is a kind of contrarian choice, he definitely seems like some kind of vulnerable narcissist type, but he's not worse than greg and logan. the willa situation is incredibly common (just on a different scale), it's like most other transactional relationships. logan is an abusive tyrant type, lol. roman and kendall seem the most human, and would likely be pretty normal if they weren't who they are. frank and gerri are also chill
@@Lin-rs9pw Replace Greg with Tom and it's essentially the same thing. The only person Tom doesn't defer to is Greg.
kieran really is just a non-evil roman
Roman isn't evil either
@@alpha0xide9 a guy who gets off on other people's humiliations is low key evil
@@kar12894 fair enough... that's everyone watching cringe videos I guess.
Roman is a completely traumatized kid, more than anything
@@alpha0xide9 so are a lot of pedophiles
@@alpha0xide9 Most evil people are evil because they're traumatized. They're still evil.
I've never thought too much into Connor's evilness until now. That did sound f*cking terrifying though!
Yeah he kinda sounds like the beast in beauty and the beast
ok but he was also interested in politics from a very young age
Connor also has fantasies about being the autocratic ruler of a Mad Max dystopia in which he owns all the water. It seems naively kooky at first but in reality that is terrifyingly sociopathic.
Um he's not keeping her prisoner...she can leave at any time.
It's nonsense, Willa was a perfectly willing participant. What is true is that Connor Roy was interested in politics from a young age.
"Yeah, okay, well, thanks for whatevering and I hope it wasn't too boring and blah blah blah and stuff stuff and bye, whatever." is the best sign-off I've ever heard from anyone.
SO very Roman 🤣
Poetic, ironic insouciance.
Watching Roman talk about the film history of Kieran Culkin was an unexpected but appreciated episode of Succession
How did I miss that? What season and episode?
@@daniellerogers6045 bud, its this video
@@biobagholder8081 bahaha...wow.
I fear if Connor drops below 1%, he may become a laughing stock.
uhhh, isn’t one the lowest number?
There's decimals
Laughed to hard at this thread. Lmao
Definitely need to dump another 100 mill to make sure that doesn’t happen…..
No one will take him seriously as a candidate unless he’s married.
“Refuses to get into drama…ehh nah I’ll get in” 😂
MY FAVORITE
I'm gonna miss this show so much!! Such a talented cast.
Spin off is happening
not asking him about scott pilgrim vs the world is a crime
I second that!
Right? I was waiting for them to ask about* the greatest movie ever
right!! i was hoping he'd bring it up when they talked about michael cera
I love that he was sent the script to read for Greg😂
And he wouldave nailed it too!!
It's so interesting how each of the actors that play the Roy siblings are on record saying that their character is the most like Logan
And hilarious. Still fighting for the throne
Everyone wants to be the eldest
his comedic timing was always perfect
I am so impressed with his acting skills. Really noticing him in succession, I truly hope I see him in more dramatic work.
I wish his part in Fargo had lasted longer but... He was given a generally meaty role that puts things in motion but *spoiler alert* he doesn't last long.
acting skills where? he is just him, he is not acting.
It’s just confidence. I dont see much acting. He is just projecting and he has an onscreen charisma that works
Its like jack nicholson or deniro . The cameras just pick up on charisma. It CARRIES thru.
After seeing Culkin talk for the first time here…..I know now how little acting he is doing. We just like HIM and his nuanced offbeat personality. The script and story is doing the rest
I love the fact that Kieran improvised the flirtatious attitude with Gerri! I wonder where else are improvised sentences in the series!!! PLs let us know more secrets!
I’m dying with that one!!!
He's totally right about Connor.
Um no. He isnt keeping her prisoner.
@@Georgina-lv9bt
He is using coercion. She has convinced herself it is a real relationship but he owns her
@@obscurum6 what? are you even watching the show? She has never convinced herself of anything, she is in it for the money and heknows it. Theyre both cool with it,
@@obscurum6 jesus that was the worse take i ever seen about this show
Agree, I loved his commentary. So true and so deep. He is a very intelligent man.
i want his full ranking now omg
I could listen to him talk for days. Such a cool guy and seemingly effortlessly funny
I love the way he expresses himself, his gestures, his way of speaking
That outro was the most Roman Roy thing. Ever..
I love every single one of the Culkins. They are just the coolest kids ever.
literally can't imagine any other actor as Roman
I would love to go out for a beer with this guy, the way he tells stories is so interesting, and it is true, working since he was 6 years old yet never found tough actors to work with, impressive.
“Refuses to get into drama….. nah I’ll get in”
He is so much like Roman in his mannerisms that when first watching the series I initially thought "well, he's not really acting, is he"? However, his acting in the final season is incredibly deep and moving - BRILLIANT acting. And his one liners throughout the series are the best
“I can’t grow a mustache” has a mustache like right now
hes SO right about connor and about why kendall and shiv would make bad successors....
i'm really attracted to him
aren't we all
We all are 🥵
I’m really happy I’m not the only one everyone looks at me like WUT
Me too girl
Me 8 or whatever blah blah and stuff
Thanks for whatevering.
so crazy to see Roman’s mannerisms in hum haha
not talking about wallace wells is a crime honestly
i'm a bit disturbed the quiz said Shiv "avoids drama" lol
Met him and he's super cool and down to earth in person. Wayyy nicer than Roman.
kieran should have considered that connor roy has been interested in politics from a very young age
Jajajajajajaja
Connor is evil because he doesn't need love.
imagine kieran as greg 💀💀 that’s actually like unfathomable to me now LOL
this is the least bracelets i've ever seen kieran culkin wear
He's so handsome & quick witted. Loved him since Igby Goes Down. 💚
Kieran doesn't look he's 40, he looks 25
no but he looks 30
OK but why is no one talking about Kieran being the one that started Rome and Gerri storyline because he's always being flirty with her 😂😂😂
That’s is so amazing !!!
just watched Father of the Bride 2 the other day so I’m so glad he discussed something about the first one here! He was so adorable
I wish they had brought up Igby Goes Down (2002) ! Loved him in that - fantastic cast too.
We all know that the prequel to succession is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off -- where Cameron tried to defy his dad.
protect this man at all cost
Miss this show already! I see that Kieran's rocking the same Rolex as Roman... Yep. That tracks.
I wish he mentioned Igby Goes Down, that's my favorite project he was apart of
I thought the same
right!! so underrated
100%
This man is totally AWESOME. I am fond of him! ❤
Warms my heart about Steve Martin. The man.
This guy is amazing thank you for succession 💯🙌
Why is Kieran Culkin so underrated?
I love his description of Michael cera
If they reboot Iron Man, this is the guy.
Ohhh yes!!!
Connor and Gerri are the two scariest on the show. Why? They hide their evil very well.
I normally have no interest in the Emmy's, but I was fully invested after watching Kieran's performance in S4 of Succession. Was genuinely proud of him when he won. I guess he's now the number one boy
Huge Kieran fan 🙌🏾☺️
John Candy goated as a comedic actor and as a human
What an incredibly engaging guy
“Thanks for whatevering, and I hope I wasn’t too boring, and blah blah, and stuff stuff. Bye, whatever.”
I can watch him talk all day
love this thank you 💛
❤❤❤ I would watch a Succession spin-off called "Roman"
Him and Gerri start their own business.
“and bye whatever” is extraordinarily roman-coded
Connor Roy was interested in Politics from a very young age.
srsly starting to crush on him
I love this guy since Scott Pilgrim, he killed it there
I loved the intrractions between Roman and Jerri so much!!
Loved it !!
como pode um homem desses ser tão gracinha
love him
I love him so much
I really liked the bit where he ranked all the characters
I love him so much🤣💕
We gotta see the full ranking
He's so gorgeous!!
He’s my friend in my head.
this man is adorable
I thought talking fast was a character trait of Roman Roy. Guess its Kieran's😅
saying he is most like logan was such a roman move
He's such great actor.
he looks like freddie prinze jr
Dr Ramani on her TH-cam channel looks at the narcissism of each of the characters, well worth checking out.
oh! I didn't know, but I don't wanna hear her talk bad about Roman though, but the others okay fine
He is amazing as Roman ❤
I love him
cant believe he didnt talk about igby
Watch an interview with Rory Culkin, Kieran’s little brother - they both have identical hand movements when talking 😂
Kieran was born to play Roman, and I’m sure that there are a lot of Romans in the rich world
I think Kieran is like now my favourite actor?
3:52 😭😭😭😭😭احبه
i love him
Annoying clickbait title. (He did NOT rank every character, he only ranked one character.)
Kieran unintentionally roasted my mustache…
"blah blah blah and stuff stuff" hahaha that may as well have been a Roman quote! 😂🤣
My top 10 favourite colours are:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10 yellow
that outro was incredibly Roman
John Candy ❤️
Roman is the best character IMO because of his performance
Kieran is Roman after being given a Snickers bar
🤗🤗🤗😂😘🎉😀👍🏾 he's actually my favorite
cool sweater, where's that from?
