Nicholas Braunis opening up — ever so slightly — about what’s to come inSuccession’supcoming third season.
The actor, 33, plays Cousin Greg on the popular HBO drama, which earned him his first Emmy nomination last year for an outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.
During a recent interview withBritish GQ, he remained mum on whether or not the COVID-19 pandemic will be present in the new season, but shared some details abouthis character’s relationship with cousin Tom(Matthew Macfadyen).
“Tom and Greg’s relationship continues to be rocky,” Braun said. “And there’s a deep love for one another under it all. That’s all I can say.”
As for what it has been like filming amid the pandemic, Braun clarified that it didn’t affect the quality of the series.
“You can’t even be annoyed. There’s nothing you can do,” he toldGQ. “The scenes haven’t been affected. I think we’re tighter than ever.”

Later in the interview, Braun, who got his start in acting in the Disney Channel movieSky High,discussed what it’s been like being recognized as Cousin Greg on the streets of New York City and how he navigates his fame amid feelings of anxiety.
“I do love when people love the show,” he said. “But if it makes me feel so much better about myself that someone said this to me, I think I need to work on my self-esteem more.”
“It can be anxiety-inducing,” he later added, discussing the online criticism that comes with being a celebrity. “But, at the end of the day, I’ve got to just try to be myself and not to judge myself. Because, you know, what can I really do?”
