I can imagine that. Especially when it comes to the USA and Canada. Do I sound shocked about it? I didn't think I did. It is great to meet you, Sarah. I am fine, thank you. How are you?

I totally am that way whenever I am out of California working. I was just in North Carolina working for a couple weeks and I was in Toronto filming something else earlier in the year. So many places I can say that about honestly so I get it. Why do you sound so shocked that can be a thing? Nice to meet you, I am Sarah! How are you?

[southgateone-hoh]

Am I just boring that I don't even decorate my place for Autumn. I do for Christmas but not for Autumn. There is also the fact that no one is really going to see all that besides me and my children when they come around.

I have spent my weekend online shopping, and oh my god! Everything fall? In my cart. Rowan is going to be dressed better than I will. - When is too soon to buy and carve pumpkins?

There isn't anything quite like that. And I have been doing that since I am not as busy as I once was. I know exactly what you are saying. When something really keeps your attention, it is hard to follow that.

There isn't anything quite like getting really into a show and binging it. Having something to look forward to watch at the end of the night as you wind down or as you eat. Here's the problem, though: finishing said show, chasing the same feeling of a show having you in a chokehold and spending too much time figuring out what to watch next. If it doesn't catch my attention within the first five minutes, I'm out. I'm open to all suggestions after just finishing the Monsters series on Netflix.

[southgateone-hoh]

Thats true. It does make it even more special. Oh, I know what you mean. I can't use that excuse these days. My two are all grown up. Honestly...just relaxing and doing anything people would do on holiday.

I think what makes it even more special is I don't get to go home as much with work and all. Short trips with long travel becomes far more difficult with kids. That sounds lovely. What's your favorite thing to do there?

[southgateone-hoh]

I wouldn't say that. I could have thought you would say there and then you could have said somewhere else. So I wouldn't have just assumed. I can understand that. Oh, it really is. I do when I get the time which I have since July.

Predictable, right? One day I'd love to take some time off there and settle down in Australia but our careers have us in LA mostly for the time being. It looks so beautiful in Algarve! Do you get to spend a lot of time there?

[southgateone-hoh]

I am not surprised that is your answer. There really isn't anywhere quite like home. No matter what the weather. I agree about the long flight though. Especially when it comes to Australia. Its great to meet you too, Margot. Oh, its in The Algarve.

Mine is definitely my home in Australia. There's nothing quite like going back home. The thunderstorms, the beach, being outdoors, seeing all of my family.. It's a dream. The only downside is the long flight but it's so worth it. Nice to meet you, Gareth. I'm Margot. Where in Portugal is your place?

[southgateone-hoh]

Is there one place that you would say is the place where you can just get away from it all? It could be somewhere you go on holiday all the time, it could be a place you might go for a walk, cycle, etc. Anywhere. For me, I think some people might think its my place in Portugal because its private and the sunny weather. But they would be wrong. There is my apartment in London but its way too busy there. My place to get away from it all is my home in Yorkshire. Its not in the middle of a town, its away from everything and its countryside all around it. And there is plenty of places to walk and take in the views nearby. By the way, I'm Gareth.

garethsouthgate: Who knows what is to come.

[southgateone-hoh]

I get what you mean. There are probably things that we could think aren't really needed but then there is so much that has changed for the better when it comes to technology. I am enjoying it. Although this past week has been weird for me. There being an England camp and two games and I'm not there.

Things have definitely changed since we were kids and it will be totally different in a few years, technology and all improving even if we do not think it needs too. Are you enjoying your down time nowadays?

[southgateone-hoh]

I couldn't help but laugh when you said in your day. There wasn't really gaming systems in my day. TV's yes. But not in the bedrooms. It really isn't.

In my day when my siblings and I all lived together, it was a luxury to have a television or gaming systems in our bedrooms. It was usually in the family room or in the kids area. Nah not a bad thing at all.

[southgateone-hoh]

To be fair, they could sort that out by themselves without me having to break up any fights. But they knew that if I wanted to, I could just get the stuff put away and they wouldn't want that. Haha. Oh, I am sure it isn't a bad thing.

Yeah the video and computer games are a different level if I am going to be honest. I know the younger actors and actresses who worked with me on Superman and Lois all liked the same games, just different versions. But yeah you definitely get what I am saying, that is for sure. I do not see that as bad thing, if you do.

GarethSouthgate: Spending my birthday with my children. And it feels off that its not the lads at England camp.

[southgateone-hoh]

I have two children. Mia and Flynn. Oh, I wish I could have been stubborn like that but its not easy doing that when playing a sport. Good on you for doing that when you could though. When it comes to cheat meals, I don't really. I just don't make a habit of having something too unhealthy too much.

How many kids do you have? I used to never diet for a film, I was so stubborn. I insisted Jane, my character in Tarzan, wouldn't be very thin and she'd have more to her. But I couldn't do that with every role and I quickly realized I needed to be healthier - especially training for Tonya. Do you have any cheat meals you like to indulge in?

[southgateone-hoh]

That is understandable. I kind of get that from when I was managing England. They had their own rooms at England camp but it was more they wanted to play different computer games in the area where they all hang out. I saw I hadn't heard that before you said it but now I will probably hear it from others.

To be honest, at any age cause my brothers, sister, and I still fight over the television when we are all together. But being apart of the teen drama scene I did my best not to watch any of them cause they were not my thing and to be honest, still not my thing even if my ex-girlfriend worked on one. I have no idea, I just figured they were younger is all.

[southgateone-hoh]

Well, I am not just sitting around. But I have more times now than I did before the summer. I am more of a if it grabs my attention kind of person. How are you doing?

You have nothing but time on your hands now, yeah? What's your favorite genre? I don't want to recommend ACOTAR if you're not into the whole fantasy thing. Nice to meet you too!

[southgateone-hoh]

Yeah. At that age they like to do that. Haha. I can imagine that. Especially when it comes to teen dramas. I mean when you said about you thought my children were younger than they actually are.

Just to annoy the other one I am guessing, I know that is how I was with my brothers and sister especially when she wanted to watch one of her favorite teen dramas I could not stand. Said what?

[southgateone-hoh]

Not so much when I was a child but when my children were. That is why I can't understand why they would always want to watch something on the one that their sibling was watching something on. You are probably one of the first who have said that.

Ever since I was a kid, when I still lived at home my parents made sure we had televisions in our rooms so we could watch whatever we wanted. They did not have kid blockers though at the time so they only certain channels available in our rooms. I did, I have no idea why like I already said.
