Sounds like you finally get a chance to relax and do some things you enjoy that you haven't been able to do for a while! A break is always good. Even if it's a break from something you love. Are you into traveling? Now would be the perfect time. I'm Maika. Currently over in your neck of the woods, filming a new movie.

This really is taking some getting used to. I have said that I am taking at least a year off from managing any time. That seems so odd after over 10 years of doing that. There are some football related things going on in my career but other than that, who knows. We will just have to see what happens. By the way, I'm Gareth. How are you doing?

It's always tough when you want to be in one place, but then work has you somewhere else so often. I've never lived in New York, but I do love it for little trips! Are you a fan of colder weather and some snow? You'll be moving just in time for things to start cooling off over there.

well i know i just moved into a new home in la but after some thinking, i decided to also get an apartment in new york. some things have come up that require me to be in new york more, so i will be getting a little place there. anyone in new york can tell me some places for rent? @hfrpstarters

Halloween, and horror, are two of the best things in the world! I haven't been to horror nights in so long and now I'm jealous of you going. Please be sure to give me all of the details, and send all of the pictures, so I can live vicariously through you. I'm currently filming in London, but still trying to feel as spooky as possible. What are some of your favorite horror movies?

@hfrpstarters I don't think many people know this, but Halloween is without a doubt one of my favorite seasons. Horror is, without question, my favorite genre and I'm so excited to hopefully get the chance to go to Halloween Horror Nights again this year and I will be looking for victims to join me unless there's another Fall pastime you prefer doing.

That's such a good one! Anyone who acts like they're better than someone else needs to stay far away from me. I'm now dying to hear this list though. Someone might say you're picky, but I say you know what you want and I'm sure the rest of the list are all super valid pet peeves. You know what annoys the shit out of me? Going on a date with someone who doesn't ask you any questions. Like, they're fine sitting there and answering your questions, telling you about themselves. But then they don't even try getting to know you? What's the point of going out with someone if you don't care enough to ask simple things?

a couple months back, i did an interview where they asked me about my dating pet peeves. the answer was simple: people who refuse to look at their waiters while out eating. doesn't cost a dime to be a decent human being and give your waiter some of your attention, especially since they're serving you. a couple blind dates later and the list has grown quite a bit. maybe i'm being picky but it's rough out here and there's only so much a man can take. what's the biggest pet peeve for you? spill so i can add them to my never-ending list. @hfrpstarters

Now you're the sweet one! I do have a few things lined up. I'm actually premiering a short film I co-directed this week at the Toronto Film Festival, so I'm all kinds of excited and nervous about that one. But for the acting side, there are two projects I have coming up that I can't wait to tackle. Voice acting is such a fun, but tough job sometimes! How old is your daughter? Where have you been lately?

Awww you are far too sweet, i can say the same thing about you, i been loving to see you in movies lately, please tell me you are working on more stuff, just a few movies, been working more on voice acting which has been a lot of fun but also traveling with my daughter.

[maikeymonroe]

I think it's only right when you're marrying such an icon as Lauren! We're on single digits. The week of the big day! I'm so excited for you. I promise to show up and look amazing, but only 80% amazing. No one should be aiming for 100% when we all know the bride's going to upstage us all. I'm truly honored to be up there with you! We've hit that 7 year mark where scientists claim that if you've been friends that long, you'll be friends for life, and I think it's true as hell. I'll be there to step in to calm any chaos! Nothing but perfection for the two of you!

——- Is that what i'm known as now ? i accept it and also — i can't believe how close the day is already. i'm feeling the obvious nervousness but i'm mostly excited. i can't wait to marry lauren. you don't have to do anything but show up in my wedding party and look amazing. the day wouldn't be right without you by my side, maika. i think it's all gonna go well — maybe not too chaotic.

[maikeymonroe]

Maika: sign me up for the mutual adoration! psh, you're already cool as hell, but I love that you're so sweet to include me in the whole cool thing! Maika: that would be perfect! we're also getting to the best time of the year for horror marathons. all 10/10 choices! were you always into horror or is it more of a recent thing? i watched some of them when i was probably way too young, but it turned me into me so i'm not mad about it.

sydney : i do, guess we'll have to adore each other, lmao. um, please do, i so will too because this is everything! you and me both, babes.

sydney : not at all, and we def need a girls night with a horror movie-thon. my tops are.. 'the silence of the lambs', 'a nightmare on elm street', 'hereditary', 'the shining', 'us', 'halloween' and 'rosemary's baby'.

[maikeymonroe]

Maika: I'll take the 20s-30s version in a heartbeat! Just seems like it'd be a lot of fun. Maika: I'm glad! Watched the first episode, and of course it was fantastic. As much as I want to know, I appreciate you keeping it all a secret and letting things play out. Do you like working on shows better than movies or do you not really have a preference?

Meryl: Even if not a college student, then a younger version of me. Oh, it wouldn't have to be a musical. It could be anything. Meryl: I am fine, thank you. It is back. I can't wait for people to see it. As for what my character gets up to, you will have to wait and see. I am not going to give anything away.

[maikeymonroe]

Can we please talk about how much I fall in love whenever you pop up on my screen? I feel like you've somehow bewitched us all and I'm very much in awe of whatever magic you have. What have you been working on lately? Or are you getting some much deserved time off to just enjoy yourself? ( @hwaddinghamfms )

Maik: i'll give it to you that things are... different. but i was thinking more in terms of us just being around each other for a billion years. Maik: you don't stand there alone, for the record. i just think that there's a lot that comes along with changing things up. there's a lot at risk. Maik: not having you there after you've always been there would really fucking suck.

jer: you weren't expecting it? right. you realize that things haven't been this way in the past billion years? jer: i know. jer: i'm not shocked hearing it because i get it. just.. you know, didn't want it to be a shock to you about where i stood.

[maikeymonroe]

It's almost here! The day you become Mr. Jauregui and we all get super emotional and mushy watching the love unfold. How are you feeling about everything? Do you need me to do anything to help you two out? Granted, I've never planned a wedding and don't see myself planning a wedding anytime soon, but I know it comes with a shit ton of chaos so don't hesitate to toss some random job my way. ( @theswedishbilly )

[maikeymonroe]

Maika: you adore me?! I adore you! totally tell everyone it's a super big deal that we're both under the Neon family. gotta make myself sound cooler than I am. Maika: omg that's exciting then! what are some of your favorites? i'm sure it's not a shocker for me to say i love everything horror too!

sydney : it might, but it's you and i adore you. thank you so much! this means the world to me!

sydney : definitely, lmao. i am a horror fan, i'd love to do more and also love watching them. i have a nice list of ones i love.
