TOM WELLING ON BEING LONELY ON SMALLVILLE  

Smallville was hands down the best super hero tv series out there nothing can beat it.

Teenage Clark and teenage Lex both with grey beards... Damn, we're getting old

I remember being in high school and every morning in Homeroom, there would be a group of girls talking about Smallville...

Sounds to me like Tom had more in common with Clark Kent than he'd admit.

Amazing!! Really LOVE This!! And enjoying nature is always fantastic. Tom is so great!

Just realized Smallville is 20 years old

Tom sounds like he needs his own fortress of solitude.

man am I happy Tom & Michael är friends, and they seem to be on the grounds with Kristin & a few of the others. Makes me very happy that my TV family are getting along. Will forever be my #1 show.

There’s nothing wrong with being alone if you like your own company and the positive subsequent activities you do at times during that period. It doesn’t have to mean you’re lonely. I love my own solitude, and I mix when I want to, and socialise with family when the opportunity presents itself. Getting the balance right is the thing.

I love how Welling, purely accidentally, calls Michael "Lex" when saying "Support is very important"

These are genuine guys are definetely asking the real questions

These guys should’ve done or featured as leading roles in Superman movie.

I love how these guys just keep in contact and support each other with these interviews.

I wish I could be more like Tom Welling. He really seems to have his 💩 together. Mentally, physically, spiritually. I'm the type of guy to avoid a grocery store line because it's too long.

Sounds like he might be an introvert.

Tom Welling will always be the best Clark Kent

Thank you Michael and Tom for playing a massive part in my childhood. Smallville was major for me and times you escape problems day to day the Kent barn felt like my escape. The perfect Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. Love that you both are still close friends

I attended the FanExpo in Denver today and got the chance to meet Tom Welling. I wish I would have told him that Christopher Reeve is the reason I became a fan of Superman, but Tom and Smallville helped me become a fan of Clark Kent as well

God I love these 2. My father got a chance to meet tom last year and Tom was extremely nice enough to do a quick FaceTime and say hi. Hope both You and Michael continue to have happiness and success

Always said he should have played Superman at some level after Smallville.

I can still see their characters, remember at the beginning Luther really was like a big brother to Clark. He cared for him and even gave him advice.

I miss this epic duo oh man!

always good to see these two together. Tom is Superman, too bad we never saw him be Superman.

Love this podcast, and the transparency of the discussions.

Loved him in smallville and always thought that he looks like lonely,even now with wife and kid there is aura of sadness and loneliness around him,especially in his eyes

I just finished watching the pilot episode of Smallville on Hulu. It premiered for the first time 20 years ago tonight! Happy 20th Anniversary Smallville fans!

I can definitely understand getting out into the mountains. I live in a big city that's become one of the political hotbeds recently, so it was a great relief to head out to New Mexico for Christmas this year. When I was walking in the hills with my mother, the quiet solitude deeply shocked me and made me realize just how much tension I unconsciously absorb each day. I can't even begin to imagine the stress Tom picked up while working on Smallville

Thanks for the interview snippets Michael. I'm a fan of every person you have interviewed so far. But I only have time for the highlights, thanks for putting this together, you are making working from home far more bearable.

I'm 21 and I began watching Smallville a few months ago. I'm on season 6 right now and I'm really enjoying it. I love the cast, characters, and DC lore that came out of the show!

I love Tom Welling so much. Best Superman and Lex ever.

his ex wife fumbled so hard bc it’s crazy that tom was feeling lonely during smallville while having a wife to come home to that is so insane to me.. i wonder if he was pushing her away or she just wasn’t supportive. considering the way michael talked about her it seems like she wasn’t supportive and tom lowkey agreed, but girllll you had THEE TOM WELLING and you didn’t cherish him like 😭

1:34 “Support is very important Lex.”

damn when he said he wanted to be alone because he was always with alot of people and in turn felt lonely because of that. i feel the same way. u jave this huge group all the time u are with and in my head just feel like i need to leave. i feel sad and just isolated. weirdest contradiction in my case.

I've always been a loner and think friends are overrated. If you can find TRUE friendship that is rare and special. But these days most friendships are started out of some sort of need. It isn't fully genuine. One person is more invested than the other. I am EXTREMELY loyal. So everytime I am let down I feel it 10x more than the average person. So like Welling I enjoy solitude and just focusing on women I date and my financial security. Life is simpler when you have less people around.

One if very few shows I rewatch every other year. Lightning in a bottle.

It's cool that Lex is still friends with Superman... and nice to see Superman has it's own cracks. We all enjoy some alone time but also need to reach out and stay strong when things get iffy mentally.

20 years since Smallville premiered and 10 years since it ended!

Tom and Michael have a friendship that over time was forged and fortified.

Can now understand of you being distant, as a teamster on the show, i didn' see any change till the last 2 if not the last season, glad 4you now !

Awwww. I'm actually watching smallville rn😭😭. They were youngg

Best Clark best lex

episodic television is very difficult 12 -16 hour days . it can be lonely. you also have a chance to follow your dream . we should all surround are selves with good people . good luck guys

Tom is more handsome than back then in smallville😍😍 Handsome old bwoy😅😅

Welling still super fine with those eyes😍 I'm just now binge watching Smallville in 2021. I wasn't a part of the movement😭

i love this channel. for a 80/90s kid like me these were iconic characters, to hear their personal stories is somehow therapeutic

I finished season 1-10 smallville from 7 months pregnant till baby 8 weeks! 🥰🥰😋

Sounds like Tom didn't really got use to be being famous and that was overwhelming for him and he just wanted peace and quite sometimes, I can relate to that.

I saw half an episode of Smallville once. It was going off on the TV right before Monday Night Football started. Sitting in the day room, Couple of Army Sergeants, a few specialist, bunch of privates... And we couldn't help but sing along... "I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees." ... ... Too doo do doo to do to dooo da da da da ..... ! ! ! boom boom ta da ta da....

Loved him in Smallville! Also his voice sounds different. Great message here 👍

@InsideOfYou, I used to suffer really bad panic attacks. Turns out it was caused by caffeine. After awhile off of it, I slowly began eating chocolate and things like that that naturally contain caffeine, but I do not drink sodas with caffeine. Caffeine can cause many issues, including heart palpitations and bedwetting.

Just discovered this channel. Good clips! But especially loving Michael's John Daker t-shirt, lol.

This is cool to watch these guys talking. The thing I found most interesting is to hear Tom speaking. Tom doesnt sound like Clark. Michael still sounds like Lex so Tom did more, I think, as far as with his character than Michael did.

I love these two with my whole heart

Sad, when your ex doesn’t know how to appreciate and support. The hint Michael gave, makes me wonder...but Tom doesn’t want to speak ill of her. Privacy and so considerate about been discreet about personal stuff. I thought they equally didn’t want babies. But Tom’s current wife and baby make me wonder. Don’t know if the ex had her own career. She asked for spousal support, so that leads to me to guess not. But she keeps private and low profile. So no idea if she ever went back to work. Seems she was unhappy been just the wife of, and maybe too comfortable been take care of. But not supportive of him, doing right by him. And she left him. She filed. Just fact checked. At least his current wife seems more truly there for him. She posts loving pics on Instagram and about their baby, too🥰

TOM WELLING SUPERMAN !!!

I read online that people who live in places where theyre snowed in keep from being lonely down isolated take on the mindset that its about refusing to allow yourself to be stuck! Trapped in! So not just what can you learn but also about what are some other stuff that you can learn about instead!

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you, Lex." "It's just a seat, Tom! Quit being over dramatic!" "But... we're bros!" "...Bro."

Thank you for the video.

Tom always comes across as a lovely guy.. Michael deserves a lot of kudos too . I was huge smallville fan when it was on ..like some on here said, never knew anyone else who liked it at the time but it deserves its pathos as the seminal superhero TV show . Why because it wasn't about superman , it was about Clark and his relationships .. that made him human

Yo Tom been on the show for whole 10 seasons that’s like almost most of his life, I would been tired as heck if I was in tom’s shoes

I found out Tom almost not really die but hurt a good deal after a crash, since he drove to work every day by himself for Smallville which was a long drive to and from, untill Michael got the studio to get him a personal driver!

Tom Welling seems so chill

I love these guys.

I love smallville growing up watch him from him started young to him grown and become superman . allowed us a back story

This guy was really good in Lucifer :D

Crazy I wasn’t ever born when the first episode premiered but I grew up watching this and Clark was my first crush my dad loved the show and always watched the new episode I remember two and a half men would always play right before it’d come on

GREETINGS FROM DENVER I WAS ALREADY IN MY COUNTRY IN MEXICO AND I WATCHED HIS SERIES WHEN I CAME FROM SCHOOL FROM 2002 TO 2012 THEN THE PROGRAM WAS LOST AND IN THIS YEAR 2021 I WILL WATCH IT AGAIN TWO GIRLS CAME OUT WHO WERE BEAUTIFUL CLOE AND LANA 😊

Damn, her loss. If he was my man I would of supported the hell out of him 😂😂

Your attorney can always be your confidant and friend. Always find a great entertainment lawyer to have your back.

Man these 2 could do an awesome multiverse Superman and Flash

Michael and Tom could come back for modern day versions of Superman and Luthor.

Holy Shit Clark Kent & Lex Luther are friends again 😂 I just realized that

Try walking barefoot. Not in snow or any hazardous place but connecting directly to the earth through your feet does something medicine can't do. At least that's how it is for me! Proof that Superman doesn't need a cape!

In a world where Superman and Lex can put aside their differences and have a pleasant chat. (Or possibly where The Flash and Superman are just hanging out)

whenever I think of live action Superman it'll be Tom

Thats my effin Clark Kent!!!

Michael should be on Inside Of You as Lex Luthor at least once.

I’m lonely all the time yet it’s me and my son

Fucking love these guys

Where in northern CA does he live? Thats awesome

The Fortress of Solitude can be a lonely place I'm pretty sure that's what Brandon Roth would say about the part of Krypton that Superman spent 10 years on in Superman Returns

I'm more of an Introvert, and that self time is a necessity ..

All I get recommended from this channel are the videos where the actors from smallville seem like they are in therapy. Like just the videos about the miserable times in their lives lol.

superman still looks great! one of the best

Where is the entire interview?

In the comments section I'm seeing a lot of people talking about their teenage experience back when smallville was on air. Here's mine: Yeah I remember when I was in high school anytime I overheard people talking about shows like Smallville or shows like Revolution wherever I told people that I watched the same shows they told me to get the f*** out of here in a hostile way not in a comical way.. honestly my high school was so f****** prejudice I even went through the same experience when I started to play lacrosse when I ran track when I started to become more popular. Even last year when there was a high school reunions these Prejudice kids would only notify class of 2009 alumni students only if they knew the student almost 60% of the class of 2009 were not even notified the only reason I know this for sure is because I found comment all over my high school class alumni page talking about how they were not notified about the reunion... ironic the person that was in charge of the event was one of the kids who told me to get the f*** out of here.. people say you grow with age more wisdom more intelligence but honestly these people they still act like they're in the 9th grade. Then when I went to college it was completely different whenever I overheard people talked about supernatural it was a complete different experience. Edit: psychology why's there are some things you can't get over especially when a senior is telling you to get the f*** out of here when you are only 14 or 15 years old. It was more than one person who told me to get the f*** out of here when I said that I watch Smallville it was a few people in my class and a couple of seniors. The behavior counselor didn't even give a s*** one time he try to blame me for some kind of instant just because I looked like I was Spanish the principal made him and the police officer apologize

Tom Welling should talk to the guy who’s playing Archie in Riverdale, bet he’s on the same boat

Who is the host of this show? I thought Michael Brooks died.

Michael Rosenbaum deserves a MILLION SUBSCRIBERS.

Lex not bald omg, cant imagine :))

NICE......Lex Luther interviewing Superman.

A man like tom I sincerely don't think he would ever get lonely unless he's a prick in real life. Then no body would wanna interact with him.

Not Easy for Married people either. I Never got Married becos I couldn't make me mind up basically? 🙄

Sad that the show ended early

You should get both Tom and Brandon on for an episode to discuss the competition between their franchises in the 2000s

He was almost welling up there

Who else think Tom is the best Superman

Tom e Michael estão enxutos...💟

Amazing he's my same age 43, and he's gone fully gray hair... Still looks to be in "Super" good shape tho... Sad he never fully embraced the role of a lifetime, and will forever be known as "What could have been" as this genarations "Superman" he will always be the guy who was about to become that, and really cement a legacy in movies, and tv. Now he's just an actor who did a show for a decade who can't find work because mostly nobody wants to work with him cus most of the fanbase don't care about him after he literally keeps letting us down over, and over again with ignoring the wishes of fans world wide since his days on Smallville. He seems like a nice guy and all but one who really let down Millions of fans world wide by never embracing becoming the Superman the fans wanted to see on the big screen even when given the chances HE turned it down.

Sad his ex-wife was not supportive and then she took him for half of his wealth during the divorce.
