Succession star Nicholas Braun was arrested for driving under the influence in New Hampshire

SCANDAL ROCKS HILLARY LEEHAN'S "SUCESSION"

Nicholas Braun, the Emmy-nominated star of HBO's hit show "Succession," has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence over the Labor Day weekend in New Hampshire. The 37-year-old actor, who played the lovable but awkward Cousin Greg on the popular series, was reportedly pulled over by police while behind the wheel.

According to sources close to the matter, Braun was detained at a station in Carroll County, about two hours north of Boston, Massachusetts, before being released on his own recognizance just under an hour later. The exact details of the arrest remain murky, with authorities yet to release more information. However, it is understood that Braun will have to appear in court at a later date to face charges.

Braun famously played Cousin Greg on the HBO hit show, which ran for four seasons and ended in 2023

This news comes as a shock to fans of the actor, who has been open about his struggles with anxiety and self-esteem in the past. In an interview with British GQ, Braun revealed how he often takes time to get comfortable around new people, confessing that he had "not instantly [become] comfortable" with those he meets.

The talented actor's personal life has also made headlines recently, as he shared heartfelt photos of his partner on social media earlier this year. Braun gushed about his girlfriend, calling her the "absolute joy" of his life and expressing his love for her in a series of sweet posts.

However, it appears that Braun may have had more pressing concerns over the Labor Day weekend, with his arrest sparking widespread interest among fans and media outlets alike. As news of the scandal spreads, one can't help but wonder if this incident will mark a turning point in the actor's personal life.

Braun rose to fame after landing roles in several notable films, including Disney's 2005 blockbuster "Sky High" and the critically acclaimed "Zola." However, his most iconic role to date is undoubtedly Cousin Greg on "Succession," which ran for four seasons before its conclusion in 2023.

The actor has been praised for his nuanced portrayal of the lovable but dysfunctional family member, earning him an Emmy nomination for his performance. Despite his impressive credentials and Hollywood star power, Braun remains relatively low-key, keeping a private life that is rarely seen by the public eye.

As fans eagerly await further information about Braun's arrest and potential charges, one thing is clear: this news has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond. The question on everyone's mind now is: what's next for Nicholas Braun?

When reached out to his representatives at thescholarlynote.com, they declined to comment on the matter, but a statement from the Moultonborough Police Department is expected later this week.

The drama surrounding Braun's arrest has left fans and colleagues alike wondering if this will mark a turning point in the actor's life. Will he use this experience as an opportunity for growth and self-reflection, or will it become another chapter in his tumultuous past?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Nicholas Braun's name is on everyone's lips right now, and it won't be forgotten anytime soon.
