Strong was born Marco Giuseppe Salussolia on 5 August 1963 in the London district of Islington, the son of an Austrian mother and Italian father. His father left the family soon after his birth, and he was brought up by his mother while she worked as an au pair. He later said, "The home I grew up in was a flat in Myddelton Square in London's Islington, a beautiful Georgian square with a huge church in the middle. We moved around a lot when I was a kid. I remember flats in Walthamstow, Clapton, Stoke Newington, and Edmonton." He said in 2008 that he was inspired to become an actor as a child by watching French actor Alain Delon, stating, "I remember watching him in films and though I couldn't understand a word he was saying I remember thinking he looked great." However, in 2019, he clarified that he did not actually consider acting as a career option until he was in his late teens.
