Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook, known for their iconic portrayals of the feuding siblings Roman Roy and Shiv Roy on the critically acclaimed HBO series "Succession," share a deeper connection than their on-screen rivalry.

Culkin, the 42-year-old actor, recently revealed during an interview with Colman Domingo for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series that Snook holds a special place in his family.

"She's my son's godmother," Culkin shared warmly, expressing his deep affection for the Australian actress. "And one of my favorite people in the world."

Despite their close bond, Culkin acknowledged that maintaining regular contact with Snook has been challenging due to their geographical distance.

"I'm not the best with the phone thing," he joked, admitting that the "Succession" set often served as their primary means of catching up.

Culkin and his wife, Jazz Charton, are already parents to two children: Wilder, 3, and Kinsey, 5. The actor has openly expressed his desire to expand their family further.

During the 75th Emmy Awards in January, where he won the prestigious award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in "Succession," Culkin playfully hinted at the possibility of more children.

"I've been asking for a while," he recalled, referencing a past conversation with Charton, who jokingly suggested that a child might be in their future if he won the Emmy.

After his triumphant victory, Culkin playfully reminded her of the agreement. "She was like, 'What? No. What did I say? I don't remember this,'" he recounted with a smile.
