THE GREAT SUCCESSION

Sarah Snook is in isolation on her newly acquired 14-hectare property outside of Melbourne after a close contact received a positive Covid test result (later shown to be false). “It’s not much different to lockdown,” says the 33-year-old with a smile. “I’m in bliss.” Snook’s idyllic home quarantine, complete with a resident koala, wombats and kangaroos, actually makes for a nice sea change from her last lockdown during the New York winter while shooting the third season of HBO’s smash-hit drama Succession .

And by bliss, she also means wedded bliss, relinquishing a secret she’s held for almost a year now. “At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love,” she says, of Australian comedian Dave Lawson. “We’ve been friends since 2014, lived together, travelled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic. We’ve just never been single at the same time. I proposed and we got married in February in my backyard,” she adds, of the small Brooklyn ceremony in the presence of her housemates and co-star Aussie Ash Zukerman who also played witness. The bride wore a vintage velvet Chloé coat and Blundstones. “We had matching Blunnies,” laughs the Pre-Raphaelite beauty, today sporting a Calvin Klein denim jacket
