Tom Hopper On Getting Sober, Training For The Screen & Finding The Man Behind The Muscle

Tom Hopper is an actor known for his roles in The Umbrella Academy, Black Sails, and The Terminal List.

This conversation explores how Tom manages to meld an artistic sensibility with an athlete’s discipline. We discuss his path from drama school to action star, what Navy SEALs taught him, raising his non-verbal autistic son Freddie, a decade alcohol-free, and whether he’s the next James Bond.

Earlier in the day, we filmed an Open Container where Tom literally lapped me in the stupidest circuit of all time. I was so humbled.

Tom is a mountain of a man and a sensitive artist. He’s an absolute delight. Enjoy!
