The Umbrella Academy's Elliot Page, Robert Sheehan and Aidan Gallagher Sums Up Their Characters

Interviewer: Megan Maher
Video Editor: Megan Maher
On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. Now, the six surviving thirty-something members reunite upon the news of Hargreeves’ passing. Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya and Number Five work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father's death. But the estranged family once again begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse.
The Umbrella Academy is based on the popular, Eisner award-winning comics and graphic novels created and written by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The live-action series stars Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, David Castañeda, Aidan Gallagher, Cameron Britton, and Mary J. Blige, and is produced by Universal Cable Productions for Netflix. Steve Blackman (Fargo, Altered Carbon) will serve as executive producer and showrunner, with additional executive producers Jeff F. King (Hand of God), Bluegrass Television, and Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg from Dark Horse Entertainment. Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá will serve as co-executive producers.

he seems like he's actually a 45 year old man in a teenager's body in real life....

[@Rcoal]

chuuding __ you mean 58

[@mayag5505]

honestly tho

[@taylordonn]

2:24. Ellen and Robert are sitting the EXACT same way. The cast truly are siblings

Same sister!

[@silhouettesix2378]

Same

[@1961Blanchflower]

Yes - haven't got this obsessively into a show since Orphan Black (which is my all-time favourite, and which I have never stopped bingeing). The original Umbrella Academy comics are great, and the TV show is fantastic: well written and produced, with great music and a superb cast, whose every interview I am seeking out! Robert Sheehan should be a huge star, such a charismatic talent. This led me to seek out his earlier series Misfits: he is brilliant in that as well.

[@thelunarnebulus]

Rebecca Dsouza same!!!

[@mish4439]

Sameee

[@katex007]

When Aidan is talking, the other 2 have a similar pose, just listening to Aidan, found it funny;also was curious to see those pants Rob complimented, and she got up at the end yey

[@madisonstevens2469]

Brooooo I just noticed that!!

[@Linz_Chick]

Aidan's smooth explanation followed by his turn to Ellen was incredible 0:24 to 0:35

[@joshhuels5828]

Ellen DID NOT make an iconic Gaga- "there can be 100 people in a room" - reference :D :D

[@b.t.c6081]

I love how they change the name and put Elliot✨

I laughed so hard when she said that. Had to pause the video to get myself together.

And nobody in that room got the joke

[@paytonmann2156]

who else is obsessed with this show!!!!

[@greetingsfromnarnia5016]

I just love how Ellen and Robert can't describe the question as much in depth as Aidan did 😂 (No hate)

Robert Sheehan 😍😍😍

S RK i know right 😍

[@brandoneier1517]

It's ridiculous... I haha can't even. He's beautiful

Five looks so dapper and charming and smart 😍

[@27Nichy]

Aidan: Given a comprehensive, atriculate answer about Five's psychology and backstory Ellen & Robert: Hahahaha fuck how are we supposed to compete with that

[@-JaelynnGonzalez-]

3:03 the way he said Robert though🤣🥰

[@kiamaria331]

Rrrrobert!

[@arin27_]

Aidan is gonna be a HUGE star. I hope so)

[@stickynutjuicemoved959]

Big props for getting on the name change asap

[@OnlineIncomeProfits]

Ellen's joke at 0:37 is referring to Lady Gaga meme, just search "lady gaga meme 100" here on youtube. I didn't get it either at first.

[@diekerydock]

#Number 4. Team Klaus!

[@nyshimafelix3494]

Robert and Ellen watching Aiden talk is 👍🏾

[@felinefurkin4275]

This is a really sweet interview, though after a while I get the feeling they’re a bit nervous and tbh I wonder if it’s cos the interviewer is a little quiet, but she’s sweet too, maybe they’re used to a louder person bringing them out more. Aidan seems much more relaxed and practised at giving a fuller answer, also it’s lovely to see his own smile without the manic look he often puts behind Five’s eyes.

STOPPP LMAOOOOO

[@a1ex1sssss_]

Adian is amazing♥️

[@jacksonvandenheever8241]

Aiden is perfect for Number 5 because he actually looks like he could be Frank Iero's son. Who was the inspiration for the character in the first place.

[@emily5245]

omg he does

[@balletfan4154]

Ellen copying Robert 😂😂😂

[@NOWUNITEDUPDATES]

Ellen is such a good lier not spoiling things. ❤️

[@ktwashere5637]

My God Aidan is terrifyingly together. He's more articulate than the adults in the cast.

[@jacksonvandenheever8241]

Number 4 is Bert McCracken, my friend. Gerard based all the characters on the people who were in his life at the time.

Jack van den Heever The problem is I don’t think Barrett was is flowing and flouncy as séances is

[@karinaube1750]

@@jacksonvandenheever8241 but visually, in the comics anyway, he looks like mikey hahaha but yeah i get the bert thing...and some of gerard too with the flamboyancy and choice of drugs maybe

[@jacksonvandenheever8241]

@@karinaube1750 Bert is actually incredibly flamboyant when he gets comfortable around people and he does not discriminate when it comes to drugs. He does them all. Haha! And if that man sees an item of women's clothing somewhere, he will grab it and put it right on.

Can ellen please have a female love in s2

[@elinakrumina-priede3481]

Oh, yes

[@itskayitskay]

emma: "i volunteer as tribute" nah but fr that would be cute. like, if they met because emma was dancing to vanya's violin or something, idk

[@whydontwegermany7905]

If it would be her wife, I would be totally okay with that! But idk, maybe she likes it that way with guys bc then her wife doesn't have to watch her kiss another woman... So I think this way it's maybe easier for her 🤔

[@cherrybomb3098]

no offense, but these three actors sitting together was a great opportunity and i can't help but feel it was totally missed by those generic and lazy questions. cmon man, an interview is all about the questions! please review and do better in the future!

[@_whitewolf0009]

Number four is just like Luke crain

[@an_ge_lo]

the interviewer was awkward...

Noah Alexander Harris right like sis coudnt take much of a joke in a way

Noah Alexander Harris really? she seemed adorable to me

[@aly8950]

Nothing wrong with awkward

[@cherrybomb3098]

it is a problem when you're awkward AND passive when giving an interview... the flow of which you should be in charge of leading.

So is robert gay?

No, but Klaus is pansexual.

[@krashd]

Klaus is attracted to pirates and fairies?

[@brandoneier1517]

Point...?

[@saintsegar4224]

I’d say he’s bi-curious bc he said he experimented with the same sex before but doesn’t really matter

[@user-oq6ol5fi2w]

He's been open about his sexuality, but he ultimately said he IDs as straight. (Also, regarding comments above me, we don't know Klaus's sexuality, we just know that he at least likes boys)
