I can certainly understand how seductive it must be to have people admiring and applauding you (imagine getting applauded by random strangers each time you did your job right at the end of each day - I would be delighted) and I can understand how this might be something you might court, if you had previously been a struggling actor competing for parts with hundreds of other actors.
At some point though, you have to decide whether the fame whoring is what you want out of your professional career or whether you are happier just popping out of the woodwork every odd year, performing your proverbial pants off and getting recognition from it from your peers and the public.
I don't know - I think that it is testimony to Tom's talent, that he did manage to make a compelling character from a cartoon character, as Loki. I just hope for the sake of the films to come, that instead of having kittens over who he might or might not have held hands with, we are instead more excited about his actual performances and work.
(and no, I am not Luke).
