This week, Tommy is joined by Stockholm-based singer and actor Omar Rudberg. At just 25 years old, Omar has sold out arena shows in Sweden and tours here in America. At 14, he was the opening act for Justin Bieber and One Direction. And aside from his musical accomplishments, he is part of a certain fan-favorite project that further shot him into global superstardom: Young Royals. Young Royals is a teen drama romance series on Netflix that just dropped its third and final season. It follows the fictional Prince Wilhelm of Sweden and his romance with fellow student Simon Ericksson, played by Omar, and all of the wild, messy, beautiful drama that their love story brings. Today, Omar opens up about how he’s feeling with the show coming to an end, his friendship and brotherhood with co-star Edvin Ryding, a sentimental keepsake that he secretly took from the set, some brand-new music announcements, the music that will forever remind him of Young Royals, how proud he is to have been part of a show that celebrates the queer community, a top secret project he is working on with a top secret person, and his final farewell words to the fandom as he signs off from Young Royals.

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Ed Westwick, best known for his breakout role of Chuck Bass in the pop culture phenomenon known as Gossip Girl. The show was based off the tremendously popular book series which catapulted Ed into international stardom. Ed has gone on to play so many other incredible characters in film and television, but out now is his new movie, DarkGame. He plays a detective who is in a race against time to stop a twisted game show on the dark web where captives are forced to compete for their lives. Today, he opens up about how he’s always wanted to play a detective, what working on an intensely dark film was like, how the film mirrors society’s need to constantly be experiencing life through a screen, the importance of not limiting yourself based on what others think you should and shouldn’t be doing, cultivating a mindset that life is an adventure and bad days will happen, how he misses his Gossip Girl character and would jump at the opportunity to step into his shoes again, and the moment when he recently broke the internet by revisiting the old stomping grounds of the beloved character of Chuck Bass.
