Most of this stems from Tom's extremely complex insecurities and proclivities. Tom and Greg's relationship isn't a matter of "are they gay," it's a mirror that reflects how deeply fucked up and sad Tom is in trying to integrate himself into the Roy family and their lifestyle. Please consider turning it on! He cautiously stepped close enough to see that it was a younger man than he was, a picture of serenity painted on his face as he slept. His hair looked soft, his dark features delicate, lips pink, To simply put, he was beautiful and Tom needed to shove that away.
In Succession, Tom is chameleonic, constantly code-switching within the snake’s den in which he’s enmeshed himself. As loathsome as Tom can be, that push and pull between performative power plays and a raw desperation for a real sense of identity and connection makes him not only one of the most fascinating characters on the show, but also. Tom hosted KFC Cribs in the Australian Desert and became the co-host and judge of Miss Multiverse Australia. Tom Gay is everywhere! He appears in numerous Australian household brand commercials such as Woolworths, Sensodyne, Telstra, Samsung, NAB, KFC and Menulong.
Neither Tom nor Greg are ever even hinted to be attracted to the same sex (although Succession writers did think about making Greg gay). Tom is married to Shiv for the entirety of the series. The drama series Succession has been dubbed one of the best shows on TV at the moment and has earned numerous accolades, such as multiple Emmys, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes. What makes the show so great? As the SAG awards suggested last weekend, it has to do with the show's extraordinary cast.
Succession has always been about the relationship between love and power, and the dynamic between Tom and Greg, one that always moves from abuse to affection, often in the same conversation, goes to the dark heart of this thesis.
