Kieran Culkin celebrated a significant victory at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, clinching the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for his portrayal of Roman Roy in the acclaimed HBO series “Succession.” During his acceptance speech, Culkin expressed gratitude to his wife, Jazz Charton, for sharing her life with him and for their two wonderful children. In a light-hearted moment, he humorously referenced a conversation they had about expanding their family, recalling Jazz’s playful suggestion that they might consider having another baby if he won the Emmy.
In the press room, Culkin elaborated on the backstory, revealing that the couple had discussed the possibility of adding another member to their family a few months prior. He playfully recounted how, after winning the Golden Globe, he reminded Jazz of their earlier conversation, and it all came back to her.
Beyond the family revelations, Culkin took a moment to acknowledge his mother, Patricia Bentrup, with great admiration. Praising her as an “absolutely wonderful woman,” he highlighted her strength in raising seven kids practically on her own in a studio apartment. Notably, he contrasted this with a subtle critique of his father, Kit Culkin, without explicitly naming him, shedding light on the complex relationship he shares with his dad.
The Emmy Awards marked a triumphant farewell for “Succession,” as the gripping Roy family saga secured its third consecutive Best Drama win and added five more awards, including three prestigious acting accolades. The show’s success further solidified its place as a standout in television drama.
