Golden Couple Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar Do It Every Night Do You?

The survival rate of any couple in Hollywood is painstakingly low. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries filed for divorce 72 days after strolling down the aisle. Pam Anderson and new hubby Jon Peters? Yep, dunzo after a mere 12 days. That’s why people go bananas over any celebrity pairing that continues to go the distance year after year — like Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, for example.

Tying the knot back in 2002, the real life Fred and Daphne are clearly doing something right when it comes to maintaining a healthy and happy relationship. And while the two have never spoken publicly about their sex life, a new Cascade spot is letting viewers at home in on the supposed secret to their everlasting love: They “do it every night.”

“When they pitched us the campaign, Sarah and I both started laughing,” Prinze Jr. tells AskMen. “We really thought it was charming, slick and smart. We live in Southern California, and all you hear every single day is conserve your water. We're in a drought, we're coughing dust."

He goes on, saying "[Cascade] threw statistics at us like you use four gallons of water every two minutes out of your sink when you're washing dishes, which just kind of blew my mind. They're like, ‘Yo, you can run your dishwasher with just a handful of dishes and save money, save water, save everything,’ and I just didn't believe it. It didn't seem right, but they weren't lying to me. So I've literally stopped hand-washing dishes. No matter the number, everything goes in the dishwasher now.”

And while Prinze Jr. considers himself a better Californian now (“not the Californians that people hate and tell you how to vote,” he adds), doing his part to save the planet certainly isn’t the only thing that makes him a good husband, father ... and Dungeon Master.

More on that last one later, though.

AskMen: The slogan of “Do It Every Night” is obviously a fun one. Playing off that, is there a routine you find yourself in on most days?

Freddie Prinze Jr.: Honestly, man, I've always found Sarah and I are the kind of people where if we get in a rut, that's a bad thing. We try to mix it up and not do the same thing every night. We do have special places that we enjoy like our first date place, that we've been going to for 20 years, but even though we live further away now, we still make it a point to get out there and have those memories.

But sometimes we'll go to the beach, sometimes we'll stay in, sometimes we'll try a new restaurant. We’ve got a lot of good chefs out here in L.A., and they're always opening up those sneaky spots and these little pop-up restaurants that'll stay for the summer. So we do little things like that. We don't really do habits because that starts to get into that rut, and then you're like Conan on the wheel, right? Not Conan O'Brien, Conan the Barbarian. You don't want to be on that wheel, man. That was a deep rut that he walked.

Being married for almost 20 years, what’ve you learned is essential in keeping that relationship thriving?

You have to know yourself before you get into anything serious, whether it's a relationship or business. You have to know who you are, what you want and have a strong sense of self. That's why parents tell young people don't get married young because it takes time to get life experience.

My wife knew that I played video games before we were ever serious, so if she ever gave me a hard time about playing video games, we wouldn't be having this interview because we wouldn't be together. That's just a part of who I am, and I'm not going to be made to feel bad for that. Conversely, Sarah enjoys reality television. I don't, but I don't give her a hard time about it. I don't talk trash about it.

So know who you are. Own it. Don't try to be someone you're not, otherwise, that's a lie that you've got to keep forever, That's the best advice I can give. I don't know if it's good advice, but it's the best advice I can give.

You mentioned video games, something you have no shame in talking about even at 43. What’s your message to pushing past the stigma that older men shouldn’t partake in things like that?

When I was a boy, my mom said people are going to find a reason to hate you no matter what, so like what you like and don't care what they think. I would say that social media, things like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, you can find a lot of local communities and people that do the exact same thing you do. Within those circles, there are boys and girls, there are gays and straights, there's every race, religion. I've met hundreds and hundreds of local players here, and those circles that we all play in eventually interlink like the Olympic rings, but without the corruption. We all start mingling, and all of a sudden a guy and a girl meet at a D&D game, they're like-minded and that's a great relationship.

When I was a kid, it was harder to find girl gamers when you're 12 years old, because there was no internet. There was no social media to go, "Hey, does anyone else like the Legend of Zelda?" I never got a date until I grew up, but I stayed true to myself and I would say, again, it's back to knowing who you are and owning who you are. Sarah and I work out because she hasn't tried to change me. She respects me and I respect her.

You were branded a teen heartthrob back in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Why didn’t audiences ever get a chance to see you play that nerdy guy who was in his basement playing Dungeons & Dragons?

This business wouldn't allow me to do a role like that unless I wrote it and financed it. Even to this day, this was the first year where pilots would come my way where I wasn't the lead. I had stopped acting for a long time, and they would send pilots and be like, "Hey, here's the lead of this. It shoots in Canada." I'm like, "No. I'm only working in L.A. for work. Those are 15-hour days, five days a week, nine months a year. I'd never see my kids." I want the fifth lead on a show where I can just come in, be a good influence on the young actors and go home to do my thing.

But this business doesn't have that kind of vision. Once they see you as something, they can really only see you in that ... unless you're motivated to finance your own film with a role that's incredibly different and jump in. That's just the way it goes for 99 percent of the actors in this business. Every once in a while there's someone that can break all the rules and do that, but that wasn't me.

And finally, what might be a controversial topic for you — can you please explain why you despise mayonnaise so much?

It's pretty much the most disgusting substance on planet Earth. It looks gross. The sound it makes when people knife it out of the jar, it sounds gross. The taste is sour, but not like a yummy dill pickle, just in a horrible violence in my mouth kind of way. The consistency is the worst consistency of any substance known to man. It doesn't need to exist. I don't know why people like it. I judge people that enjoy it. It's that and Nazis are the only kind of people I don't like, and they're getting real close. They've been trying to push it on me now, especially jerks like Kelsey Cook. Yeah, it's horrible and awful and I hate it. I didn't grow up with it. We go with what we know. I don't know mayo.
