Bankers/S&Ters: do you like to be asked about what you do in your free time to destress? Thought it may be a good personal question to show interest but curious if it's actually advisable. Thank you!

I did and got offer
Congrats!!
I asked that question too and it isn’t bad but after being on the other side as an interviewer if I don’t have common interests/hobby it just gets awkward if an interviewee asks me cause it sort of ends up in a dead conversation.
Usually on the resume if I see interesting (or something I relate to) I’ll point it out at the end of the interview and talk about it briefly
Yeah here's the thing tho so I know who my interviewers are beforehand, and know that they play sports and have other hobbies etc. And I know what I'll say if they bring that hobby up. Is this advisable?
