Thread to talk about actor Tom Hiddleston
Old thread
http://4-ch.net/tv/kareha.pl/1382608996/
About Tom being the only one in those paps photos, this CB user tracked down the photo agency (no idea how she did it and she doesn't mention the name) and says Tom was the only one and that they were taken outside the hotel. But since the hotel is small, it's likely everyone else was staying some place else, so Tom worked as a decoy for the paps.

I didn't want to thread-jack the BC thread with more Tom musings, but it's wedding related. I finally tracked down the photo agency that had the Tom photos from Torrilla - my thought was there were other photos of guests leaving the hotel that didn't interest her (or us) that might be fun to see. Funny thing - he was the only one in the photo set. I'm pretty sure the photos were taken outside the hotel that hosted the dinner Friday night (it's mentioned in a newspaper article and the hotel retweeted the article). I sniggered when someone suggested Tom was sent out as a decoy while Ben or others snuck out the back door, but now I'm wondering if they weren't right. Maybe everyone was staying elsewhere (it's a smallish property) and there was no else to take photos of, and I doubt we'll ever know the entire story, but I rather like the idea of Tom taking one for the team."

Tom Hiddleston Interview speaking about Crimson Peak, Skull Island & Hank Williams
I really hope he's right about the director for Skull Island because going by his social networks he seems an imbecile. In alternative I hope for TH they are paying him very well.
And how could he possibly have loved Godzilla?!
Tom doesn't loathe, he's an enthusiastic, apparently he likes and loves everything and everyone. It's always the same old story
>>613 haha, aren't all employees? Don't bite the hand that feeds, I wouldn't either in his place. Mine was more of a rhetorical question, because I was looking forward to Godzilla and it was such a disappointment in the script department. Maybe he loved the special effect ;)
Do I want to know what happened or I can happily ignore it?

"rewritethestars: I work in a theatre and Tom Hiddleston came in and, instead of just demanding tickets, he quEUED UP FOR RETURNS WITH EVERYONE ELSE BUT HE GOT THERE TOO LATE AND DIDN’T GET A TICKET AND HE WAS SUPER KIND ABOUT IT AND IT WAS SO CUTE THAT I NEARLY THREW UP AND HE IS JUST AS LOVELY AS EVERYONE SAYS AND I AM NOT COPING RIGHT NOW NOPE NOT COPING"
"no-hiddlestoners-left-alive:That’s because he’s a human being"
"rewritethestars: He personally knows both the playwright and the director. People like that usually get what we call ‘production tickets’, which means that they don’t pay for their ticket. Tom actually queued up to pay full price for his ticket. We are a very well-renowned theatre and we frequently have famous people attending our productions. He is literally the only ‘famous’ person I have ever seen queue for returns."
is that really? WOW
So did he get to see the show or not?
Somehow I thought this has been posted but it hasn't.
Thor 3 release date was pushed back by Marvel, no more July 17th 2017 but November 3rd 2017.
(this was probably due to the Spider Man news...you can tell they care a lot about the Thor franchise. I bet that's why TH looked so done with Loki, this postponement forces his schedule as well)

they are different from the Top Gear's one aren't they?
They are yes, anyway Torrilla removed the picture
>>625 she did, likely all the hypocrites that elected the stalker woman as their new hero sent her angry messages about posting a photo invading his privacy (which it did, and clearly he wasn't all too happy about it, but how is one different from the other I wonder)
Anyway the original photo it's still up at the link you provided and also here:

any news from Nuffield?
>>629 so far I read that Olly is there, that there are a few fans dressed with a loki lady dress, audience is 99% female, and that at the bar they are using paper cup "just in case"
also somewhere there's a video of him arriving but I don't know where so if sb has the link post it please.
Rules
http://frenchfrostpudding.tumblr.
com/post/111792808264/whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat-the-f-k
>>632 Yet despite the theatre stating this policy in an email after the fans had purchased their tickets and again tonight, we already have some idiot who believes the rules don't apply to her and has posted several pics of Tom on stage. She knew she wasn't supposed to but what the hell, right? So long as she gets all the "likes" on tumblr and loads of new followers on Twitter, who gives a fuck? Tom is over his fans because of self-entitled morons like her.
He never stopped for pictures or photos during filming of ISTL, at the WOS awards last week and now here. When are these people going to get a clue?
Sorry, meant to say He never stopped for autographs or photos
Little recap
http://notafraidofducks.tumblr.
com/post/111801193547/tom-hiddleston-at-nuffield-report
Am I wrong or there's a little mistake in the rules? Where they say: "Mr H. has requested that we do take any gifts and cards on hi behalf, but instead visit the website below" they meant "Mr H. has requsted that we do not take" otherwise it didn't make sense.
From the recap security had to inervene, but they didn't catch this one

"he sees something of himself in all of them. With the exception of Hank Williams: he said regarding Hank’s alcoholism that he couldn’t understand that, could never see that in himself."
(there goes the drunk dish. lol)
"He spoke about The Night Manager being his next project ‘in the spring’ gave a good summary of it and seemed excited about it. He also spoke about Skull Island in the ‘summer into autumn’ and said he was excited about is but wasn’t going to reveal why it was going to be so different to the King Kong films that have come before it. He did say they are planning on doing lots of location shooting ‘head off into the jungle with a couple of cameras’ instead of filming on a lot or green-screening."
video of his arrival...it's so dark you can't see anything.

com/twcuddleston/status/569572110479314945
just a minor consideration, I have no idea if TH's performance ISTL will be Oscar material, but since an English won the Oscar for best actor this year, I find unlikely that the Academy will give it to another English next year too. On the other hand, a nomination sometimes is better than an actual win.
Another recap http://notafraidofducks.tumblr.com/post/111804427962/insanely-smart-crims0nh4ir-insanely-smart
"Not interested in insubstantialand two dimensional roles on tv preferred stage roles"
Interesting
>>641 very, it means the night manager must be really good.

>>641 I can't believe she posted her entire pencil-written fangirlish incoherent ramblings :D I laughed so hard :)
Well, suppose we should be grateful somebody made an effort to provide some recaps at all.
I was re-reading the Nuffield recap and it's too bad there wasn't a follow-up question to this "but he definitely said that filming War Horse was one of the happiest times of his life."
why the happiest?
For once that nw3 blog proves useful, one of their posters attended the Nuffield Q&A, here's another recap
http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/111936462709/recap-of-nuffield-for-those-interested
"The only thing about Hank he couldn’t understand was the alcoholism. As this is a disease that you can inherit, he is very happy he hasn’t got it. He doesn’t like to be in an altered state of mind, he loves life too much."
"Tom doesn’t watch tv.
He thinks his family understands him being away to create something worthwhile.
He admits to having trouble with his work/life balance.
He finds certain aspects of his popularity unsettling and overwhelming.

by the way, considering how prestigious the schools he attended are, the tuition was very low at his time. Lucky him in every sense.
He was talking about Cambridge and RADA not Eton
>>650 I know, but they are still very prestigious, private schools aren't they? He said that today RADA's tuition is 10 times more.
Rada annual fee is 9000£
>>652 I think he said 10,000£, while instead he paid 1000£ year tuition. Anyway, I was just surprised that the tuition was so low when he attended, because I thought it was already as expensive as it is today.
This is the official poster for The Avengers: Age of Ultron

If you read at the bottom the list of actors, there's no mention of TH, there's Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård but not him.
>>654 I think Loki will be in a post-credits scene but not in the actual film. That would explain why Tom's name isn't on the poster and why he was filming for such a short time at the last minute. Either that or his role in the film will be more of a cameo.
>>655 Aren't post-credits scenes also credited? Hayley Atwell and Mackie are also listed and while Mackie's part might be a cameo, I have my doubts about Atwell's part finding a place in this film, there are already so many characters relevant to the story. It might be Whedon decided not to show it after all, the Spider Man addition to MCU changed many plans already.
Idris Elba is credited though and he filmed with TH...
Why does every fan encounter always sound like a life changing event?
https://twitter.
com/Ink_Stained_/status/570640462954045440
>>658 Because they're fans, probably :)
It's sweet to hear that he's nice with them. Sounds like, when people are not acting entitled, demanding, crowding him, screaming, etc., he still likes those encounters a lot.
if the encounter was true.
>>660 haha, I suppose but her "he knows my name now!" sounded so silly, why would he even remember her name? :)

For the record the girl was leaving for italy, so if they were both at check-in that would mean he heading for Italy.
more correctly, she landed in Milan, she is Italian, so he might have too. And according to her he was travelling with his assistant, maybe.
>>661 I feel like there have been a lot of fake "sightings" recently, particularly since that nw3anon on tumblr got a bunch of followers. People either make up phony Tom encounters to try and prove nw3anon wrong by contradicting her "sightings," or they want the same kind of attention. The girl on Twitter yesterday may have been telling the truth, or maybe not. I don't 100% believe anything without a photograph or official evidence anymore.
>>663 If she met him at the airline check-in or at security check, he could have been going anywhere.
>>665 yes you are right. To be honest, despite her excited recount, she doesn't seem like someone who would make up a story. As for the check-in, if it was the airline check-in I tend to think the destination was the same since airlines don't do check-in for two different flights at the same counter. If instead it was the security, he could be everywhere.
I think he uses fast track option, especially when traveling for work, so I rather doubt he'd be in a queue

"...
A brand-new children’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V, starring a cast of 8 to 10 year-olds from Northumberland and featuring narration by award-winning actor, Tom Hiddleston, is to make its world premiere in primary schools throughout the UK during Shakespeare Week (16-22 March 2015).
..."
Tom's episode of Top Gear aired as a re-run on BBC America last week, but his segment was cut from the episode. It was also cut last time they ran the episode a few months ago - no Tom. Thoughts?
>>669 well if it was cut the first time it makes sense it was still cut in the re-run. As for why, do they generally show the whole episode or they tend to cut? I don't live in the US so I wouldn't know. If they never do the whole ep, it might be a matter of time. Otherwise, I have not idea.
>>670 When it originally aired as a new episode they didn't cut it, just on repeats. I've never seen them cut an episode at all before, which is why I found it strange. Mysterious.

So, I don't know if it's worth bringing it here (apologise in advance), but the Bicycle blog has posted this about the identity of that NW3 woman:

Of course, no one knows if it's true, but if yes, that would mean JA's friend is running a blog about TH, then it would be quite likely that JA also visited/posted there, i.e. they secretly interact with/troll TH's fans? That would be rather... interesting.
Oh, and NW3 announced that she has had enough and needs a break. Convenient timing again? I don't know what to think.
I hope that is not true , but if it were, Tom has to change his taste in women
>>683 Congrats to Warner, they sure know how to pick them, lol
This is going to be a bit of a long post, sorry.
That post is really in reply to another anon - I'll call her Safiya-anon - that wrote to TOBY about knowing NW3 real identity, you can read here
thetownbycycle.tumblr.com/post/112744089237/hello-toby-i-kn
thetownbycycle.tumblr.com/post/112852444577/lol-this-is-interesting-any-solid-proof-you-can
thetownbycycle.tumblr.com/post/113029132612/not-sure-what-kind-of-proof-you-can-provide-im
That's why she began by talking about a mispelling.
I doubt that SaritaB. might have any interest in creating a tumblr blog to troll TH's fans just because she is friend with JA. Besides, NW3 anon posted so many personal details that it'd be quite easy for TH/Olly/Luke even to find out who she is. NW3 herself wrote that Tom knows about TOBY so...
That being said, NW3 did write that she lives near JA - http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/107881422649/does-jane-live-near-you - although near might mean the same building as much another building nearby, but she also wrote that she has blue/green eyes - http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/112353333894/ok-daft-question-but-here-goes-what-colour-are - and SaritaB. has dark eyes. Of course it's possible she lied but you know for sake of argument.
Always for sake of argument, Safiya-anon wrote that TH got together with JA to get the HankWilliam role and dumped her soon after. False, first JA doesn't have the power or the position to accomplish anything like it, but most of all TH got the Hank William role before leaving for Toronto and he stopped hanging out with JA after BB.
What else is there to say? I seem to remember someone at TOBY's writing that they knew JA lives in NW3 area because they were registered to a UK service that gives infos, 192-something, and they posted a pic of it with the phone number and address redacted. This Safiya-anon says JA lives in the white apartment block you can see from TH's courtyard (or googlemap). Nobody objected to this, so far. I mention it because NW3 anon once posted that she thought TH was home because she saw the lights on in his house - here's the original link nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/108277868114/wonder-if-tom-is-still-in-london-have-you-seen but she deleted this one because someone told her she was giving a lot of infos for Tom's people. Here's a screencap http://s21.postimg.org/kmd0pfv5j/2zfsv10.jpg
As we know you can't see his windows from the street, so either she was up somewhere in the area or she lives somewhere near and high enough to be able to see (again she could have been lying, it's all for argument sake).
This is all I can give you, my suggestion is watch it for the fun of it, if you have time to spare :) I kept track of the nw3 blog because I couldn't, and still can't, believe someone would put so many personal details online about herself and another person with the excuse of opposing an "evil force". As if any intelligent person needs her to decide whether or not to like TH.
>>685 Thanks, I didn't research very far, mostly because I have no patience reading NW3, but I do visit the Bike once in a while, and saw these posts today.
Yeah, so I guess we will have to wait and see how it goes :)

Been a TH fan for about a year and discovered this board aka sanctuary of normality only recently after sullying myself with CB, bicycle site etc with increasing horror. By coincidence I found the nw3 blog a couple of days after it appeared (when it looked like the first posts had already been deleted as it started apparently in the middle with no introduction). I have vaguely kept up with it since and noted some of the giveaway signs of the fake that others have referred to above - the early sightings, the development from a random neighbour into "I've met [know?] his mum & sister", the promises of a big reveal, followed by a crap reveal about SF and then once a head of steam is built up, all this "I don't feel comfortable" rubbish and no more sightings.
The following tidbit is for those on here musing about the authenticity (or not) of the stuff reported in 685.
As it happens I did live in NW3 for 13 years, until I moved a couple of years ago, and within a 5 min walk of where he lives. I never saw him and wouldn't have known who he was if I did (I did once see Chris Martin putting the bins out - oh the glamour!). FWIW I have always thought nw3 is British, is a Londoner and does live round there. There's enough detail that rings true about the area and the timings, comments about the weather etc are close enough; it is also a mixed area with a lot of pretty rough social housing cheek by jowl with the mansions, so it really could be anyone.
One thing I did wonder about though was all this "you can't see the house from the road" stuff which I think originated with a comment from nw3 herself on the bicycle blog. This didn't fit with my recollection - I know where it is as my husband and I have over the years looked at a lot of properties round there, albeit not in that particular complex.
Yesterday after not having been down that way for ages I had to go to a posh paint shop round there, so I took a saunter down to see what was visible from the road - and guess what? You can see the skylights from 2 separate locations on the public street. Not the ground floor windows with the iron (in the tongue twister video) but you can see the skylights above and also I am 99% sure the skylights of the big double height room that the bicycle so considerately published. They may not be visible in summer from one of the locations when there are more leaves on the trees, but they are now.
So - all this stuff about seeing lights on may be totally true. I doubt you'd see them on a bright day but on a dull day or in the evening you certainly would, assuming that those rooms are in use. But the idea that she has to be in the block is rubbish. So she need not be JA, or a mate of hers, or of his, or see him half as often as she insinuates, as basic info (lights on, likely to be at home) is available from the street. She could be (and in my view probably is) a random stranger who sits in the cafe along with the rest. Having debunked one conspiracy theory perhaps I shouldn't start another but I wonder if this "not visible from street" may have originated with her as a way of concealing the rather basic origins of her gossip and bigging up herself as a reliable source...? Be interested to know if others know where this originated and what they think. Sorry for long rambling post!
>>697 Welcome :) This board IS a breath of fresh air to me, maybe because it's not overly populated - mostly just facts, info and some sane deliberation without all the craziness.
I don't know where from it originated that you can't see his windows from the street, TBH never really cared, but I think that I saw it mentioned on the Bike blog for the first time. Don't remember who said that - NW3 or some other anon.
Anyway, I hope that you are right and she's just some stranger getting her 15 min of internet fame, and not someone who he's closer to.
Didn't he say summer to end of the year at nuffield?
https://www.facebook.com/GodzillaMovies/posts/749035121861717
>>699 he said "summer into autumn". He also said The Night manager in spring. So that link you posted about Hawaii as location was right, they only got the month wrong...I guess all the locations TH listed at Bafta didn't pan out?
The shooting for The Night Manager is going to be very tight for him.
