Kieran Culkin says end of Succession is a 'big loss' while talking Macaulay's ... trends now

Kieran Culkin has wrapped up his four season run on Succession, but not without some regrets. 

The actor, 40, who reprised his role as Roman Roy in the final season premiere Sunday on HBO, built two families while working on the Emmy winning dramady. 

On screen he is an often immature and impulsive guy who systematically drops truth bombs at the inconvenient moments on his father, Logan, played by Brian Cox, 76, and siblings Connor, Kendall and Shiv, played by Alan Ruck, 66,  Jeremy Strong, 44, and Sarah Snook, 35.

Behind the scenes, Kieran told Esquire, the actors have formed a strong familial bond, one that will be stretched now that the series had ended and they will go their separate ways.  

 'It’s a big, big loss,' admitted the grieving star.

'I haven’t had a f**king moment to think about how I feel about it. All I know is I feel kind of down,' he said.

'It’s hard to sort of accept. What are the stages of grief? I don’t know which one I’m in right now. Maybe depression or denial. Maybe a little bit of both.' 

Besides growing as an actor, Kieran has grown in his personal life as well. 

He and wife Jazz Charton, have welcomed their two children - daughter Kinsey Sioux, 3, and son Wilder Wolf, 19 months - while he was working on the series. 

Kieran joined the show in 2016 and it went on to become an international hit, ranking in the 98th percentile of drama series globally, according to Parrot Analytics. 

The talented star has gone on to receive two Emmy and three Golden Globe nominations.

He won a Critic Choice award for the role in 2022.

'There cannot be a better job on the planet for an actor,' he said of the show which has not only provided him with stability, but an opportunity to hone his craft.
