Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong will always have that brotherly love.

The actors, who played Roman and Kendall Roy on Succession from 2018 until 2023, were elated to see each other at the 2025 Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 2. In a sweet video from the red carpet, Culkin can be seen spotting Strong from afar before running over to hug him.

In a TikTok post of the moment, fans took to the comments to express their love for the pair.

“him making a straight beeline for Jeremy,” one user wrote, continuing, “they’re brothers forever 😭.”

“it’s just you and me, Romey and my Homey,” another wrote, referencing a line from season 1 of Succession.

Culkin and Strong later shared another heartwarming hug inside the ceremony.

Culkin, 42, and Strong, 46, went up against each other for Best Supporting Actor at the 97th Academy Awards, with Strong receiving a nomination for his role as Roy Cohn in The Apprentice and Culkin ultimately taking home the win for his work in A Real Pain.

At the beginning of his acceptance speech, the Home Alone star was largely bleeped out for those watching the event from home. A video obtained by Deadline later revealed it was because of the F-bomb Culkin dropped in his passionate message for Strong.

“He’s right, by the way. Jeremy, you’re amazing in The Apprentice,” said Culkin, speaking of presenter Robert Downey Jr.’s sentimental message for Strong regarding his performance in the Donald Trump-inspired film. “I love your work. It’s f—ing great.”

Culkin then noted: “I’m not supposed to single anyone out. It’s favoritism. Anyway, but you were great.”

Although the duo enjoyed working together on the four-season run of the hit series, both have said they don’t see themselves reprising their roles in the future.

“I feel like I should have a joke for this, but I feel like a spinoff is a horrible idea,” Culkin said at the 2024 Golden Globes.

“Sometimes they work, yeah,” he continued. “I was going to say, remember Frasier? We all loved Frasier, but not every show could be Frasier.”

Strong echoed that sentiment in an October 2024 interview with The Times, going as far as to say, “It’s not something I have any wish to do any longer. I’m aware it is one of the main chapters of my life, but I don’t miss it.”

“I’m sure there’s a desire for more [Succession]… But I think in terms of the role that I played, he came to his terminal point,” he later explained to PEOPLE at the 2024 Tony Awards. “So for me, that’s something that is very happily put to rest.”
