For myself, I don't have a single hobby. I used to but the grind has sucked the life out of me. How do I go about this question in an interview? All I do is study, work, and focus on making money. That's what I actually like doing. What can I say that is believable? I don't like bullshitting so I don't plan to say I love rockclimbing when I don't.

While this answer is very vanilla, it's much better than saying "I don't have any hobbies."
Saying yacht racing guarantees you an offer
Got asked this in a baml interview. After I answered the guy responded by saying, "How do you feel about not being able to do this stuff again while you're working here?"
Damn
“Depends if you just implied an offer”
the problem with talking about certain hobbies is that sometimes you get grilled about why didn’t pursue them as a career. I had to try to hardcore convince my interviewers that just because I write books in my spare time, it doesn’t mean I’m gonna jump ship at the first chance to get published. it’s a hobby lol.
