How Succession’s Nicholas Braun bought his first Rolex because of the hit TV show: Cousin Greg’s actor only learned about the Swiss luxury watch brand on the HBO series … and got himself a Submariner
- Hit HBO series Succession ended last night with an explosive finale after a five-year run – and actors Nicholas Braun and Matthew MacFadyen shared their reflections
- Braun, who plays Cousin Greg, admitted he bought his first Rolex after learning about the Swiss luxury brand on the show; he and MacFadyen’s character Tom Wambsgans share banter that fans loved
Cousin Greg might have gotten a Rolex watch before the actor who plays him did in real life.
Nicholas Braun, the actor who plays Cousin Greg on HBO’s hit series Succession, said he only bought his first Rolex after he learned about the watch brand on the show.
In an interview with The New York Times, alongside Matthew MacFadyen, who stars in Succession as Tom Wambsgans, the pair reflects on the series’ explosive Sunday night finale.
After the interviewer notices and compliments MacFadyen’s watch, the actor said he’s always been into the accessory and that his role on Succession isn’t to blame.
For Braun, though, Succession is the sole culprit.
In season three of Succession, Cousin Greg, working for a newly solo Kendall Roy, picks out the Submariner – which starts at US$9,100 – after he believes Kendall offered to buy it for him.
