The actor even went as far to say that he would lie about how tall he is. "I used to make it shorter because most people hear 6 feet 7 inches or even 6 feet 6 inches and I think are a little spooked by it, like I'm going to be too tall. I'm just talking about in auditions or when I'm going for a part," Nicholas admitted.
The fourth and final season of Succession premieres on March 26, 2023 on HBO Max, with Matthew's character Tom returning.
