Jeremy Strong Facts
- He has recalled that as his parents could not go on trips outside the Boston area, they put a canoe on cinder blocks in the backyard of their place. Jeremy and his siblings would often sit in it and pretend as if they were on a vacation.
- Following his graduation from Yale, Strong moved to New York and waited tables while he went for screen tests and attempted to break into the industry. He would record monologues and distribute them to the local talent agencies, along with his headshots.
- Jeremy has been grateful for the years of hardship that he faced in his life as they allowed him to connect with characters in adverse situations.
- Strong has disclosed that he has always had a dearth of hobbies in his life. His love for food and eateries has not been affected by his inability to cook well. He has cherished the aliveness of restaurants. He has added that he has loved how the Scandinavian chef of Noma, René Redzepi, has decided, after winning every prize, to throw out his whole menu having believed that if he tried to repeat his success, he would never attain it again. Jeremy has admired that appetite for risk.
