Robert Sheehan [1] and Tom Hopper [2] play siblings Klaus and Luther Hargreeves on Netflix's The Umbrella Academy [3], but their real-life dynamic is much less dysfunctional than their onscreen characters'. The two make quite the pair, with Robert and Tom goofing off almost every time they are together. In fact, they got along so well during filming that they decided to host a podcast with health enthusiast Byron Knight called The Earth Locker [4]. "It was great, it gave us a brilliant avenue to focus on in between shooting [5]," Tom told The Irish News.
Both Tom and Robert seem to have bonded over their mutual care for the Earth, as their podcast's mission is "to bring light to a lot of the problems that are on this Earth that we don't recognise as problems." Robert is also an ambassador for the climate change organisation Project Zero [6]. If you can't get enough of the duo, check out some of the best moments from their friendship, including a few of their ridiculous livestreams.
