Transcript for Michael and Ricky Whittle's dancing pecs

character with one of the coolest names ever, shadow moon, on the popular STARZ show, "American gods." Take a look. I lost everyone. Everyone that I -- I ever cared about. Everything I knew. To a point where I -- I forgot who I was. Lost my light. That's what my mom would have said. Please welcome Ricky whittle. Come on. Hey, man. Good to see you, brother. What's up? My beautiful lady. I wish everyone could have seen the moves that were going on back there. All I got to say is calm down, ladies. Calm down. Yes. Goodness. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here, man. Happy to have you. We saw a little quick clip of "American gods". Very dramatic, yes. Very dramatic, but tell us a little bit about the show. I play shadow moon who is an Awesome name. Right? Pretty much what I'm going to name my baby, so that's cool. You heard it here first. If that is not a little shadow, I'll be very upset. I'm released from prison a day early when my wife dies. Not a spoiler because she comes back. That's a spoiler. That's a spoiler, but I'm taken under the wing of a mysterious charismatic con man by the name of Mr. Wednesday who is building an old, biblical, mythical army of gods against the new gods we worship today in media, technology, money and celebrity, and so shadow is kind of in this world of gods, leprechauns and he doesn't believe in any of them. He's very confused. Physically demanding. How do you get ready for all that? I just remain hungry all the time. I don't really eat because -- I'm always topless. So -- it's true. Literally I'm always -- I'm always -- Tune in, guys. Yeah. There are maybe a few nipples. I'm just saying. Yeah. But it's a lot of fun. It's very physically demanding and mentally demanding, but such a stimulating, complex show. It's a real thinker. We don't want to spoon feed you and it's one of those ones where as shadow figures the journey out, we let you figure it out with him. You're with him on that journey. It's a very unique kind of a way to watch a TV show. You're an englishman, right? You went to the daytona 500. You had to figure that out. Yeah. How was that? Okay. So I'm English. I'm used to, like, formula racing and tough -- stuff like that. I'm, like, get me get this right. You put your foot down. You take a left. Then a left. Another left. And then a left, and you don't need to turn right? I mean -- do you have a right blinker? I didn't get it. Doesn't seem very taxing to me. But then I went along and I was a guest of Austin Dillon and then NASCAR brought me down to experience it for the first time and I lost my mind. It was incredible. The power, the speed and I'm, like -- I'm in. Then it took me back to my childhood, like, one of my favorite films growing up -- I'm aging myself now. "Days of thunder." You literally have a racing name though. Ricky whittle. I feel very NASCAR. Maybe we can do two days of thunder. What about two days of thunder? Right? But I have a question, man. I like it. Judging from your Instagram -- seriously, you work out. You work out quite a bit. I mean, I'm no Michael. No, you're a Michael, okay? But I'm curious. I was very thirsty. I'm curious -- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Did it just get dark? Is there an eclipse? Can you do this though? Oh -- are you callinge out? I'm calling you out, man. I'm a brother. We got a little music to this. Come on. ?????? ?????? That was a little weak. Come here. We got to step up the pace. I'm on this one. Step up the pace. Come on. Let's go. ??????
