Personal Life

Hurley considered himself to be a trouble maker who drank and did not listen to authority. He became straight edge in his teen years and leads that lifestyle to this day as well as a vegan lifestyle. His favorite bands were Slayer and New Kids on the Block, Hurley said in Rolling Stone.

Andy went on to attended University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has a double major in anthropology and history.

Hurley is currently in the midst of creating a comic with a friend. The comic is called Post Collapse. Its release date is yet to be announced. Post Collapse is a perspective on how civilization ends and how it affects people's lives.

Hurley is also the leader of several fight club and Project Mayhem cells, being good friends with Tyler Durden. We forgive him for being all 'let's destroy civilization!' because he's hot.

He is also into cats. And little men.
