Ever since I've known Oliver, then I'm sitting here with Oliver. And he's English, and I'm with a handy accent. I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Young Hollywood Studio with this handsome young man, Michael Rosenbaum. How are you?
Really? Yeah. I'm handsome.
Well, look at you. I mean, you got the, I don't know what the, the you look messy and good at the same time. How do you do that?
I can't. You think I'm a slob. I look like. Mud. Mud. Messy and good, mud.
And you're you're celebrating your 30th birthday. It's coming up.
I'm 22. Plus a stack. I'll be 39 in July. Wow. Which is interesting because you asked me to be in Young Hollywood.
You don't look a day above 37. Really?
Yeah. You look at it. Thanks. I need these glasses. I I try to look smart, cuz I'm not very smart.
You're a smart guy?
No. I'm witty. Is that smart? If witty is smart, then maybe I'm a little smart.
Halfway there with the glasses. Halfway there with the witty. Yeah. Have you ever been in drag?
On Sundays.
On Sundays. Seriously though. Have you ever been in drag?
No.
Would you ever do it?
Yeah.
Just no hesitation. Straight in the drag. Just yes. A lot of guys wouldn't say that. You're very comfortable.
I will. With that. I'll try it and think once. Really? No. What else are we gonna talk about? What else is there to talk about?
Well, Smallville. Let's do it, man. Season finale. Yeah. How was that?
Well, not just Season Finale. End of Smallville. The series finale. Series finale. It's over. Ten years. It's emotional. It's like you were always a one step ahead of me, Clark. No matter how meticulously I prepared, no matter how strategic I was. If only I had known, I never stood a chance. It wasn't a competition. Of course it wasn't. You were born to be the chosen one. It was uh it was it was intense. It was a 20-hour day. And I'm wearing this bald cap that takes about four hours to put on me. Yeah. And I'm just I get on set. And I remember there's this big shot that finds my character. And I swear to God it comes down and it's like, "And action!" Boom. And I go, line. I don't it was so surreal. I look at Tom and Tom's just going, "Oh my God." Some of the old crew members from the show that weren't, you know, that left years ago, they came back to see me. Erica Durance who plays Supergirl, or not Supergirl, Lois Lane. Smallville was amazing. For my 35th birthday. Which we covered. Young Hollywood covered.

It's kind of embarrassing. I got this with sisters. Tank top. Debbie Gibson, from the band Debbie Gibson. Yeah. I went off that. Terri Nunn from Berlin sang. Young MC. Yeah. Bust a Move. One of the best times of my life.
I wasn't there. I didn't know you then. That's the only excuse that I accept.
That's a good excuse, right?
It's a good excuse. On your '80s note, your '80s birthday. We've got some quick '80s questions to see how much you know about the '80s cuz you're from the '80s.
I hope they're not hard.
They're not. They're all got a reference to kind of your birthday anyway. Which of the following is not a video game from the '80s? Pac-Man. Donkey Kong. Sonic the Hedgehog. Or SimCity.
SimCity. Sonic the Hedgehog. Cuz it came out in 1991. Sim what was SimCity?
Video game. Do you know what SimCity was?
What was that? Look, you got the question what wrong. Just accept it. I didn't even heard of SimCity. I was playing Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.
Do you want to start again?
No. It's just a question. There's not even a prize at the end of it.
Finish the lyrics to this '80s rap song. A girl starts walkin'. Guy starts gawkin'. Sits down next to you and starts talkin'. She says, "She wanna dance cuz she likes the groove."
Come on. Come on fat so bust a move. And just bust a move.
But we'll take it. Yeah. Come on. I never know all the words to this song. Run DMC. Fat so. Didn't he say fat so at all?
Fat so, yeah. Yeah. He does say fat so. I was right. I was right. He said. It's come on fat so just bust a move.
