Sooooooooo I recently watched the Umbrella Academy and became obsessed with this beautiful man, even if I don't feel too fondly about his character. So I was digging through old stuff for him (I just recently became obsessed with him, plus the rest of the cast) and I found this old af Merlin panel... and lo and behold:

I'm 90% sure Tom Hopper sneezes in this video??!?! And I'm FREAKING OUT! Half of his body is off camera though and that’s the side he turns to but still.
3:32.... = false start? It's super quiet but you can hear an intake of breath in anticipation of something as he turns to the off-camera side, and then he loses it.
3:32 = actual sneeze? Another intake of breath as he turns/anticipates but then his head actually snaps down and there is a faint noise that might be a sneeze? I couldn't spell it though. He probably was sneezing away from his mic :(. BUT if you listen you can hear what sounds to me like audience members saying 'bless you.' And then he lifts his head back up and seems to 'settle' back to normal.
But it would be weird for Bradley James to keep talking without acknowledging a sneeze. Plus I feel like Tom is the type of say 'excuse me.'
TL;DR Do y’all think I’m crazy or did Tom Hopper sneeze in this video?
