The Umbrella Academy cast have some strong opinions on Normal People, nightclubs and reality TV

The second series of The Umbrella Academy is almost here, and after waiting a full year and a half for its release we couldn't be more ready to get stuck in again. In the meantime, we caught up with series cast Rob Sheehan (aka Klaus Hargreeves) and Tom Hopper (Luther Hargreeves) to play a little game of Stan or Ban, where they reveal what they're loving and loathing, from dream takeaways to their most hated evening plans and their favourite TV series.

Rob is Klaus. but at the same time the complete opposite.

[@abs.11.11]

Hahaha yes id say his personality and humor is totally klaus but not his likes or hobbies!

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Literally actual perfection.

[@BlueStar4040]

@@abs.11.11 agreed 😂

[@katarinak9722]

They have the same energy but on the opposite sides of the spectrum

[@livvyyyyyyyyyyy]

That’s because I’d say there humor seems similar but they definitely have different types of personality/character. Both Klaus and Rob are super cool tho

[@uchster9]

i know Luther is insufferable sometimes but Tom has these comedic moments that i just love so much on the show.

[@KaminoTenshiGel]

At times?? His character is just unbearable, but the guy's quite cool

[@cattd00]

but throughout season 2 he started to warm up to me a little bit. He is still really insufferable but he had some great moments especially with the fives paradox psychosis and stuff. His dim witted-ness makes to real good moments sometimes

[@jocelynar6165]
