The stars are aligning for “Succession” actor Jeremy Strong, as they continue to gather in support and praise of him in the wake of Michael Schulman’s “distorted: New Yorker profile, with celebs like Anne Hathaway and Adam McKay calling the Emmy and SAG Award-winner on his “powerful intelligence and extraordinary sensitivity.”

Strong was the subject of a lengthy and revealing New Yorker profile earlier this week that dug deep into his biography and career… and also provoked astonishingly intense, heavily divided reactions from Strong’s fans and friends, with some even declaring the profile a hit piece.

Brian Cox, who plays Strong’s father on the HBO series, appeared on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and was asked his thoughts about what was said in The New Yorker piece.
