Jeremy Strong contacted Mark Zuckerberg before playing him in new film

Jeremy Strong says he reached out to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after being cast to play him in an upcoming project called 'The Social Reckoning'. The actor told GQ he made the effort to connect, and Zuckerberg responded.

'I know that he is a reviled person and not a popular person in our culture, but I do not think you should have an actor playing him who wants to set out to condemn him,' the 'Succession' star said, per The Hollywood Reporter.
