Meet Succession star Jeremy Strong’s wife, Dr Emma Wall: the psychiatrist-filmmaker splits her time between New York and Copenhagen – but what has she said about her husband’s method acting?

Last June, Wall, in her forties, accompanied Strong, now 46, to the Tony Awards, Strong winning his first Tony for best leading actor in a play with his performance in an adaptation of Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People. Strong thanked his wife in his acceptance speech while also acknowledging playwright Amy Herzog, saying, “The last time I did a play of yours I met Emma, my wife, who I now have three beautiful children with.”

Now, all the buzz around Jeremy Strong is throwing light on his wife’s achievements. So who is Emma Wall, the woman who stole Kendall Roy’s heart?

Here’s everything to know about the mother of three, psychiatrist and documentary filmmaker.
