Aspinall recently caught up with Nina Marie-Danielle for a YouTube video where he answered a bunch of different questions. When speaking about movies, Aspinall showed his disdain for those who watch movies like Harry Potter.
Aspinall said, “I think any person who’s an adult, over like, the age of 25 and they watch programs about children’s magic, they need to… that’s quite suspect.”
The two then agreed that adults going to Disney Land is also very weird and suspect. However, Aspinall then added and said that even those who watch anime can’t be trusted.
The interim UFC champion then explained that he doesn’t watch movies. Instead, he is a series person. Aspinall revealed that his favorite series is Game of thrones. And to the surprise of many, Aspinall admitted that he doesn’t like the popular British show Peaky Blinders.
