I'm shocked.

[guys laughing]

What's my favorite item in my house?

Oh, I know.

The sandwich painting probably.

Your dog.

I was gonna say, does your dog count?

Of course it does.

I know the name of the dog.

I'm also gonna go with Wicked.

Oh, come on, dude.

Just Wicked. Just by popular opinion.

We know SpongeBob is the right one.

The answer is Hair.

Oh, it was Hair?

I didn't know you did Hair.

I love hair. That's a great musical.

[all laughing]

Next question.

How many tattoos do I have?

Oh, see, that's too personal.

Like guys, like what are you doing?

[Emmy laughs]

So we're supposed to check out feet also?

Okay. Don't blame them

for the fact that you don't know me.

Okay. Okay?

I'm gonna guess, nine.

I think six.

I'm gonna say seven.

Five. Why not?

Did I say seven?

[Emmy laughs] I have no clue.

Wait. You can't change your answer.

You said six.

It seems like you were close

based off of her reaction. Six.

Six?

Seven

Five. I don't know.

Nine.

24.

What?

Whoa! What?

[Emmy laughs]

Wait, but are they little ones?

Yeah, of course they are. Where are they?

So, cast.

Not cast. [all laughing]

What is my most prized position?

Total chips.

Probably a book.

I was gonna say that. I was gonna say your books.

But which book though?

You gotta go with--

He reads a bunch of books. I don't know.

I can actually see it off the mirror.

Stop it. Stop cheating.

Before you write it down.

I'm gonna tell you so you can realize what the answer is.

Is you're isolation.

That's your prized possession.

Oh, interesting. Interesting way to look at it.

Oh, solitude?

Really went deep there.

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

So he's gonna realize,

like you know what, David?

You're right?

His privacy.

His privacy.

I'm British. Not on the show.

No isolation, but you know, your own time.

Alone time.

Self love. Hair

My most prized possession? Chap stick.

You know this!

[all talk at once]

Well, I know what to get you for your birthday.

What food, beverage or condiment can I not live without?

Oh. Oh God.

It's a bubble tea or a sparkling water.

Coffee.

I'm sticking with the tea. Yeah.

I'm going protein chips.

This is multiple choice.

It's ranch.

Oh no!

You are introducing curve balls today.

Come on. You guys know I love ranch.

Oh yeah. I've seen you sip ranch just like.

[Tom] Just eating ranch.

Exactly. It's a common occurrence.

I'm really mad.

What do you pair it with though?

Anything.

Fries? [Aidan laughs]

Okay.

I vote that this is multiple choice next time.

Don't you dare put them on tacos, dude.

All right.

[all laughing]

And last but not least.

What is my pet peeve?

Oh, there are so many.

There's a few.

[Emmy laughs]

This is what I do know.

There are a lot of them.

There's a lot. [Emmy laughs]

Running out of ranch?

Well played.

[laughs] Well, it's a fair point.

It's got to be one of them.

It's an educated guess.

Like, dammit. We're out again.

Right?

Answer?

Talking people.

[all laughing] [Aidan claps]

So all of us?

Just these guys. [all laughing]

Just, everyone keep it down.

All of you lot in the back.

Saw the disdain on his face when no one figured it out.

I know we coulda said that everyone has to be quiet

so Justin can have his moment.

[Tom] Exactly.

[Aidan] I need a moment of silence.

[Emmy and David signing] [Emmy clapping]

♪ Can't pay my rent ♪

♪ 'Cause all my money's spent ♪

♪ But that's all right ♪

Guys, we can't license that song.

Read it? Yeah.

It's that simple? Okay. Yeah, ask us the question.

All right. I don't know, it feels weird.

They didn't say action so I'm just--

We're just rolling and getting all of this as content.

Quality content.

Who is the most famous person

that follows me on Instagram?

I'm gonna say Taylor Swift. [claps]

I wanna go with William.

John Mayer.

I'm gonna go with Diplo.

I have no clue. I don't know.

Hey.

Wow. That was a trap, trap, trap. [claps]

Waste of time. [Emmy laughs]

We're here now. You gotta deal with it.

Fast forward to Aidan's scrolling Instagram in the car

on the way home trying to figure it out. [laughs]

How many instruments can I play?

Oh, I'm gonna go with three.

Five.

I'm gonna go with four.

I'm gonna say piano, guitar, and your voice. So, three.

Voice?

I appreciate that.

[Tom] Four. What are they, Aidan?

Can you push in on that?

Four!

[Tom] What are they all?

Guitar, piano, singing and bass

Bass. I was gonna say drums.

I was gonna say harmonica, but.

You know, I've got like a pair of sticks and a beat pad

but like I gotta work on it.

So, five? So, I was right.

[claps] Great.

It's a reach. [bell dings]

David for the win.

Do a fun graphic on David's face in the edit.

David, pose! Yeah, look at that smolder.

It's beautiful. Not bad.

[all laughing]

How old was I when we first started filming?

14. 14.

Is that right? You were cast at 13.

I believe. Yes.

And you had just turned 14.

Yep.

[Tom] As we started shooting.

I'm gonna go with 14.

You had just finished Ricky, Dicky and Don.

The answer is 14.

[Emmy And Justin] [all cheering] Yes!

[all talk at once]

Hello and welcome back to questions about Tom Hopper.

I'm joined here by my lovely guest castmates.

[Emmy laughs]

What's my go to music for working out?

Oh God. Just--

AC/DC?

Guns and Roses, Led Zeppelin.

Yeah.

What I will say is don't let the question

influence the answer.

I'm gonna say the Chorus.

Oh, that's a great hint actually.

Podcasts.

No, no, no, no.

He actually works out in silence.

The question is what influences the answer.

He doesn't work out in silence.

It's a trick question.

The focus. He works out in complete silence.

Help me.

AC/DC

AC/DC

Silence.

Silence.

Alternative rock music

Alternative rock

Books on tape.

[Aidan laughs]

Well, you actually said both of them

which is podcast and audio books.

Yes! [bell dings]

I don't listen to music while working out.

I listen to, that's when I do all my learning.

This is a great question.

Oh, is it about food?

No. It's about Friends, my favorite TV show.

Who is my favorite character on Friends?

Joey.

Rachel. Joey.

No. He's the hots for Jen Aniston.

But his favorite? No.

That's why I thought.

[Aidan] Joey.

It's tricky.

No, maybe, no, I'm going Ross.

'Cause that's who you are in the show.

You are Ross.

I'm gonna say Rachel,

'cause of his crush on Jennifer Aniston.

So I adore all of them

and I go through different stages throughout the seasons.

'Cause I have seasons where I'm like,

each one's my favorite,

but overall, it's Ross.

[David claps] [bell dings]

Oh, really?

Damn.

What was my favorite scene to shoot

in The Umbrella Academy?

I think it was when you punched that airplane.

That looked like good fun on the side.

[Tom] That was good fun.

I think it's a scene in season one where you are naked

with your own body because you didn't have to wear

the monkey suit for the first time.

Oh wow.

I'm gonna say it was the scene

of the Olga Forgoga scene.

'Cause Tom and I could not stop laughing.

[laughs] Oh, you just put that.

[cast laughs]

I'm gonna say the family dinner

when you had to bust open your shirt.

Oh my gosh. That is my favorite.

You keep reminding him and he's tryna scribble it out.

The answer is, and mainly because of the work

that was put into it, is the dancing with you.

I know, okay.

Which was amazing.

But I also then put followed by Olga Forgoga.

[Emmy laughs]

I was gonna say dance with me, but I didn't know.

Are you nervous?

[David speaks in a foreign language]

Ah, put it away! Put it away.

Put it away.

All right, if I had a real superpower in real life,

what would it be?

Oh, dancing.

Doing this move.

Oh, what is that move?

It's the fishing.

Oh, the fishing. Oh, oh yeah.

Trying to reel it in.

If I had a superpower in real life.

I think you actually wanna be able to throw knives.

[all laughing] It's just so he doesn't

drop 'em as much.

It's dropping knives. Yeah.

[Emmy] No. I'll read it again.

If I had a superpower in real life, what would it be?

Knives.

Yeah. Being able to cook

a certain type of food or something or like some, yeah.

Chefing of some sort.

Make everyone fall in love with you.

That's terrible. But yeah, okay.

I have no clue.

Wait, dancing? I don't know!

Knives. Chef. Romeo.

I don't know.

[Aidan, Emmy, Tom, Justin] Make sure everyone has a roof

over their heads.

[Aidan] Aw.

That's my answer.

That is very sweet. Wow.

Next question. What is my biggest fear?

We're getting into therapy now. Jesus.

Yeah, you've got some ring dingers.

What was your favorite character in Friends.

[gents laugh]

What is my biggest fear?

This, right now. Doing a quiz.

Okay, good.

I think something to do with like,

not having respect from people, I think.

Not being able to...

do what you want to do.

[all laughing]

I'm so bad at this game.

I mean, these are very ambiguous questions.

So it's not, you can't really trigger it.

But I'll give you guys the answer.

Here you go. That's my answer.

[Emmy, Tom, Justin] How am I perceived.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I was getting around to.

Your biggest fear?

Yeah. How I'm perceived.

Oh, what do I spend the most money on?

Tequila.

Yeah, tequila. For sure. Damn it.

For sure. [laughs]

It's gotta be up there.

Tequila beverages. [Aidan laughs]

A beverage.

Your house?

That mortgage will get ya.

Yeah. Aidan?

Yeah, the house. Yeah.

But what do you, no, but this is [mumbles]

that's, what have you spent the most money on?

How are you interpreting the question?

Yes.

Things like that.

What? No. [claps]

That's not an answer. Like what do you spend

the most money on?

I spend the most money on my house.

What do I splurge on? That's kind of the point.

There. Splurge. Okay, Tequila.

Tequila

Tequila

Tequila and trips to Mexico and South America.

I think all of you guys have pointed

that I have a drinking problem,

but I'm putting, all you guys are right.

[bell dings]

[all cheering]

We got 'em all. We got 'em all.

[Emmy and Justin clapping]

How would I describe myself using only one word?

David.

[All laughing]

That's a very David answer. Well done.

But when he says it in Mexican, I think.

When he says it in Spanish.

I think David. [Aidan laughs]

Chaotic.

Oh wow.

[Tom] Chaotic?

That's a read.

Yeah that is.

[Tom, Emmy and Justin laughs]

He is! He is!

Thoughtful.

Aw. Aw.

Sensitive. Yeah. Thoughtful, sensitive.

Sensitive bunny.

Such a little gooey center.

Yeah, I do. I do.

So this is the answer.

Thoughtful. Kind. Yeah.

That's two words.

Wait, you literally wrote that after he said that.

Because he had a good answer.

[Emmy laughs]

This game is rigged.

This game is absolutely rigged.

I'm supposed to listen to you guys.

No, you're supposed to have the answer already.

I'm not picking because I like you guys.

I'm picking you guys because you guys are right.

David's like, I'm just gonna pick the best answer.

Yeah. And then he writes it down.

[all laughing] You were nice to me.

I like that answer.

These questions are so intense.

You know what I mean?

You got the intense ones.

I got the intense questions.

You got the therapy couch, dude.

Yeah, I did.

Yeah. Wow.

We learned a lot.

You're a sensitive bear.

It's because no one understands me.

[Emmy] Wow.

[Aidan] Who won?

Who do we think?

Wait, who won?

You think you won?

I think we all lost.

Oh yeah, no, I agree.

We lost in this game, but we won in real life.

Okay, sir, tone it down in the back.

[Emmy laughing]
