Succession star Jeremy Strong has defended himself after he became a meme for language he used in a new featurette.Following the lauded recent third episode of the HBO show’s fourth season, the network shared a featurette which saw Strong and his co-stars dissecting how the episode came together.During the piece, Strong used the word “dramaturgically” in a sentence describing the flow of the episode, saying: “I thought it made sense dramaturgically. And then when I read the script, I found it shocking and emotionally devastating.”After it aired, fans then mocked Strong for the use of the word, with some saying it’s not a real word.In response, the Merriam-Webster dictionary then tweeted the word’s definition, revealing that the adverb is “relating to the art or technique of dramatic composition and theatrical representation”.In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Strong stuck by his use of the word.
