But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/jeremy-strong-sept-cover-story-the-social-reckoning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a new profile for <i>GQ<\/i><\/a> reveals just how committed the <i>Succession<\/i> star was his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin\u2019s upcoming <i>The Social Reckoning<\/i>. This included a 24\/7 commitment to the Zuckerberg voice, even off set.<\/p>\n<p>This is a level of commitment, writer Alex Pappademas explains, that Strong takes on for all of his projects. (Strong only spoke with Pappademas in a Polish accent during their interview, because he\u2019s currently locked into his character in the upcoming series adaptation of <i>The Boys From Brazil<\/i>.) \u201cI don\u2019t want it to feel like an accent,\u201d Strong says in the piece. \u201cI want it to just be a person, and that\u2019s their voice \u2014 and our voice is the most individual thing about us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bradley Cooper, a friend of Strong\u2019s, said \u201cI enjoy very much talking to him when he\u2019s in the throes of these other people\u2026 I love it. I\u2019ve talked to Mark Zuckerberg many times \u2014 I had a whole friendship with Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Zuckerberg has no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>The article makes it clear that as method as Strong gets, his process largely boils down to intense research. It could be much worse \u2014 Jared Leto kept the crew on <i>Morbius<\/i> waiting because <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2022\/04\/jared-leto-morbius-bathroom-breaks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he insisted on using his fake crutches to use the bathroom<\/a>.
