You might think Tom Hopper has a hero complex. He’s played a knight (Sir Percival in “Merlin”), a viking (Asbjörn in “Northmen: A Viking Saga”), a pirate (as Billy Bones in “Black Sails”), a superhero (Luther Hargreeves in “The Umbrella Academy”) and soon a Navy SEAL (Raife Hastings in “Terminal List: Dark Wolf” based on the Jack Carr novels). But the talented Brit is as humble as he is fit.
The former Men’s Health cover star is a devoted husband to fellow actor Laura Higgins (now Hopper, whom he loves playing a competitive game of paddle tennis with) and doting father to their son, Freddie, 9, and daughter, Truly, 6. He’s also grown to be great friends with his castmates. As the fourth and final season of “The Umbrella Academy” streams on Netflix August 8, Tom tells Alexa acting alongside his TV siblings “was pure joy.”
