Tom Hopper: The Advice That Saved My Marriage, Body Dysmorphia & The Terminal List
Josh Smith's Great Chat ShowShow Notes
Tom Hopper is back on our screens in season two of The Terminal List, and he's joining Josh for a chat packed with Black Hawk helicopters, Navy SEAL friendships and some seriously good marriage advice.
Tom opens up about the body dysmorphia he quietly dealt with throughout his teens, modelling himself on 80s and 90s action stars, and how that insecurity still shows up for him today.
Josh and Tom dig into fatherhood and how becoming a dad to his son Freddie, who is autistic nonverbal, changed his outlook on life and communication. Plus he shares the piece of advice from his own dad that he credits with saving his marriage during one of its toughest periods, and why understanding his wife's love language was a total game changer.
Tom also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the stunt that went painfully wrong on Black Sails, what it was really like being "burnt alive" in Game of Thrones, and whether dying on screen is as easy as it looks.
