Jeremy Strong is known for lots of things ― the hit show Succession, his iconic off-screen fashion, and his controversial acting style, to name just three. 

But the celeb, whose intense method acting approach former co-star Brian Coxhas called “f**king annoying,” is not necessarily recognised as being particularly lighthearted about his craft. 

Until now, that is ― the star has joined forces with Ben Affleck and his brother Casey to create a surprisingly jokey Dunkin’ Donuts ad. 

Ben Affleck, who has long been associated with the brand, is seen knocking on Jeremy’s door backstage in the meta advert. 

His brother explains to a puzzled on-screen Ben: “Jeremy is a method actor. He’s not coming out until he’s ready”.

When Ben asks, “how long is it gonna take for the bean method?”, Jeremy explains that the process will take him “three hours”.

The self-aware role comes after Jeremy’s explosive New Yorker interview last year, in which he told the publication that he took the role of Kendall Roy “as seriously as I take my own life”. 

Succession co-star Brian Cox has said the actor’s intense style risked creating “hostility” on set, telling Seth Meyers: “he does get obsessed with the work. And I worry about what it does to him, because if you can’t separate yourself – because you’re dealing with all of this material every day. You can’t live in it. Eventually, you get worn out.” 

Perhaps this time, the caffeine jolt will see him through...
