Stevens, meanwhile, recalled thinking, “‘Get him the fuck out of the house! What is he doing here?’ But yeah, it worked out. As soon as my editor and I saw that, we were like, ‘Oh, this is fucking great.’”
After the screening, attendees—among them Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, actor Adrien Brody, Beckham’s former teammate Kyle Martino, former NFL pro Victor Cruz, model Evan Mock, designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla, and New York Jets Tyrod Taylor, Garrett Wilson, and Allen Lazard—gathered for a lively reception upstairs. Stevens’s presence also drew a number of familiar faces from his work on Succession, playing Hugo Baker, Waystar Royco’s wiley communications executive: Nicholas Braun, Juliana Canfield, David Rasche, plus Kieran Culkin and his wife, Jazz Charton, all showed their support.
