30 Things You Need To Know About Clive Standen

    The Vikings actor takes our Q&A!

    What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

    Try and persuade my wife it's her turn to take the kids to school and then...take the kids to school.

    When you walk into a bar, what do you typically order?

    
A pint of Guinness.

    What’s the one word you are guilty of using too often

    Three words...Ask your mum.

    What is the last thing you searched for on Google?

    The make of a hoodie someone left at my house after a party we threw last night...it's a really nice one and fits me perfectly!

    Who is the last person that called or texted you?

    My cast mate Moe Dunford. He rang to say he lost his hoodie. Told him I couldn't find it anywhere. ;)


    What’s the wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?

    
A really unoriginal underwater shot of lots of sharks silhouetted by the sun.

    What was the last awkward situation you were in and how did you handle it?

    I don't know but it's going to be pretty awkward if I turn up to set with this hoodie on. I'll ring him back!

    What is your TV guilty pleasure?

    
 Right now...MasterChef Australia.

    What’s the first CD you bought?

    
CDs were too expensive when I was a kid — I could only afford cassette tapes with my pocket money. Nirvana's Nevermind was probably my first.

    And what music are you currently listening to?

    
I'm currently and unavoidably listening to my daughter singing the same song over and over again from her bedroom upstairs but I'm not actually sure if it can be classified as music!

    What is the one food you cannot resist?

    Ear plugs or duct tape? That is the question I need to answer!

    What movie makes you laugh the most?

    See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

    What toppings do you like on your pizza?

    
Mmmm...pizza.

    What drives you absolutely crazy?

    I didn't know it until just now but a song sang by a 9 year old girl that contains the lyrics, Lady, running down to the riptide. Taken away to the dark side. I wanna be your left hand man, sang on a loop over and over.

    What was your first online screen name?

    I've just realized that this whole list of questions are a computer hackers dream!

    What’s the last thing you copied & pasted on your phone?

    Well, you probably know that already since you cloned my phone and stole my identity!

    What’s your favorite curse word?

    Oh, for f**ks sake!

    What’s your favorite emoji?

    I'm still hung up in the 20th century using the old semicolon with the comma.

    Pick one: Kittens or puppies

    What about a baby octopus? You should Google that right now! You can thank me later! ;)

    New York or Los Angeles?

    It's who your with, not where you are. And I have great friends in both so can't choose!

    Twitter or Instagram?

    I guess I'm a Insta-twit-face

    Bacon or Nutella?

    The hangover says...bacon.

    Britney or Christina?

    
Tiffany.

    Coffee or tea?

    Coffee!

    NSYNC or BSB?

    
New Kids on the Block.

    2am or 2pm?

    
Depends what time zone I'm in and how long I've been there!

    Hannah Montana or Lizzie McGuire?

    Hannah Montana! She's great. Pop it, lock it, polka dot it!

    And finally: tell us a secret.

    My daughter answered the last question because I didn't know who either of them were?!?
