His role in
Succession
, the hit HBO series, propelled him to the forefront.
So much so that Jeremy Strong climbed the steps of the Cannes Film Festival this Thursday, May 19, to present a completely different family chronicle.
In
Armageddon Time
, by James Gray, Anne Hathaway and the interpreter of Kendall Roy play a couple of parents, whose son is enrolled in a New York high school.
Among the members of its board of directors: Fred, the father of Donald Trump - at the origin of a very different legacy story.

The return of Thomas Pesquet
At 6:30 p.m., Vincent Lindon, the president of the jury, led the way, closely followed by the
Rodeo
film crew .
For a moment, the Croisette couldn't take her eyes off Aishwarya Rai's airy dress, followed by Cindy Bruna's voluminous pink tulle outfit.
Aya Nakamura and Kendji Girac also posed under the flashes.
A few minutes later, Thomas Pesquet, already present the day before, again testified to his love for cinema.
This time, the astronaut lent himself to the game of autographs as soon as he arrived.
Rebecca Hall and designer Alexandre Mattiussi followed suit.
An unexpected guest
When suddenly, around 6:45 p.m., the Croisette lit up with a legendary smile: that of Julia Roberts, godmother of the Chopard trophies.
The actress, who last climbed the steps in 2016 for the screening of
Money Monster
, this time sported a jumpsuit in a tailcoat (and heels, after her previous barefoot appearance).
She savored this time alone in front of the photographers who asked for more.
Ten minutes later, Jeremy Strong, “honored”, walked the event
red carpet
for the first time .
If Anthony Hopkins was conspicuous by his absence, Anne Hathaway offered herself a sparkling appearance, in a bra and sequined skirt, in the arms of two children: Banks Repeta and Jaylin Webb, also actors in the film.
The actress then entered the auditorium, arm in arm, with Jeremy Strong.
Before the team attends the screening of the feature film side by side, (almost) like a family.
