Tom told a hilarious story about filming a Lucifer scene with Lauren German and Rachael Harris in Chloe Decker's cop car, and now I'll never look at this scene the same way again.

He also said that he actually auditioned for the role of Gaston in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, saying, "And I was desperate to do it because I thought it was wonderful."
