Alexander Dreymon (Star of Netflix's "The Last Kingdom") on: Therapy, Marriage, Anger, Masculinity, Meditation, and Being Nice (Even If You're a Viking)

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. Alexander Dreymon is the star of a great show on Netflix called "The Last Kingdom." He plays a Viking, so you're literally not going to find a guy who is more stereotypically masculine. But I've gotten to know Alexander recently and he's also incredibly thoughtful.  We cover a lot of ground in this conversation: marriage, parenting, anger therapy, sleep, human connection, meditation, masculinity, and, uh, how to show your body on Netflix without developing body dysmorphia. We also talk a lot about his show, which is awesome, although it is coming to an end — just a few days ago, Netflix posted the series finale, a movie-length episode called "Seven Kings Must Die" that wraps up the whole story.  In this episode we talk about: how having male friends makes his romantic relationship even better The importance of therapy, of silliness and of kindness the importance of exercise in his life and how he tries not to get overly attached to his body looking a certain way a whole discussion between the two of us on the Buddhist idea of non-self  what his meditation practice looks like now that he has a toddler around the house what it's like to wrap up his show, the Last Kingdom, and what might be next Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/-alexander-dreymon-585  Where to find Alexander Dreymon online:  Instagram: @alexander.dreymon  Other Resources Mentioned: The books of Bernard Cornwell, on which "The Last Kingdom" series is based Additional Resources: Download the Ten Percent Happier app today: https://10percenthappier.app.link/install
