Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>99 But like this for example: http://hiddlesnlondon.tumblr.com/post/137367482745/lokihiddleston-this-day-had-to-come-weve
>>94 I feel like those days are gone. Audiences today just don't seem to want the build up. I mean the near-opening scenes in this adaption were riots with explosions and gun fire.
>>103 The pilot of Mad Men? But I agree the Beeb thinks they are gone. The first episode was wearing all its designer handbags on the same arm.
By the way in the opening scene I am pretty sure he is wearing his new watch and the shirt seen in the Australian chef's picture. I cannot imagine in a $35m drama they visited his home and asked him to contribute his own costumes. It looks like he has, as previously, tried to have off with costume items. They probably thought, "poor baby, he only has one shirt and one pair of trousers and that plastic watch. We'll pretend we didn't notice."
Tom travels again. I think this is the trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay: http://lokihiddleston.tumblr.com/post/139749532787/a-real-snake
>>108 I just saw the shooting. It seems that they had a little fun in Hanoi.

Looking at some photos with TH movies I realized that most love scenes are with women that are older than him :)
Close up of biceps. People's ingenuity amazes me.
http://ancientfinnishgoddess.tumblr.com/post/139924906120/megapecbicep-skull-island-tom
>>111 How many are there? Before TNM (20 seconds!!!) it was just DBS and CP, right? I wouldn't count the bed scene in OLLA as a 'love scene' - more a 'resting naked scene.'
I think we've been short changed sex scene wise. HR will add to the tally by all accounts. Do we think SI will have any romance? >>112 Even Kong wouldn't be able to resist that body. ;)
>>113 There was a flirtation in Unrelated I suppose....though very definitely not sex with her.
Is Sienna Miller older?
On the other hand Liz Debicki was born in 1990. Imagine. I have CDs that are older than her.
>>113 Maybe that's the hidden plot twist of Skull Island they're being so hush-hush about. Tom Hiddleston and King Kong, star-crossed lovers. Then they'll walk the red carpet together and Tom will take Kong on a tropical holiday.
>>115 No, Kong, no! Going with TH to a tropical island is the mob equivalent of going fishing with Fredo. Don't.
Kong, avoid tropical islands, photo booths and stay the fuck off twitter and IG.
It's probably safe to say that if Tom takes his current squeeze to a tropical island, the end is nigh. Enjoy that good bye bang, that breakup sex because it's the last you'll be seeing of the Hiddles.
High Rise and the love scenes with Jed have Tom sexing up younger women. There's also the I Saw the Light love scenes which have younger women in them. But these are recent developments. Its been mostly actresses older than him that he's done sex scenes with.
>>117 Going fishing with Fredo - gave me a proper laugh. Love it.
In which Tom Hiddleston wears every item of casual clothing he owns: http://news.zing.vn/Luc-khong-dong-phim-sao-King-Kong-lam-gi-o-Quang-Binh-post629142.html
>>113 ny love scenes i not only meand the sex scenes but all scenes that involve romance, in what concers "Only lovers left alive", I think that Tilda Swinton saw more of Tom Hiddleston than Aura Atika saw in "The night manager". There certainly was underwear under the sheet. :))
>>121 He was wearing white boxers in the love scene in TNM. Who knew he owned underwear.
"I bet this ends with a shot of Hiddleston's bare bum. And you know what - it does."
http://lolawashere.tumblr.com/post/139975037797/i-bet-this-ends-with-a-shot-of-hiddlestons-bare
>>123 LOL. I don't think he'll sign a contract for a film unless they promise him a naked bum scene.
>>123 Nice bum; One day he may grace us with a full frontal, a la Fassy in "Shame." Not holding my breath.
>>122 I must have missed them. He has been photographed with underwear showing at least twice that I can remember. On my phone now so I can't find and link; one looked like boxer briefs, the other looked like traditional boxers.
>>126 I doubt it too. I am sure he is internet savvy enough to know that gifs if his bum are all over the Internet forever. If I were him I would want to retain some privacy. Personally I am not sure I want it waving to me every time I look at tumblr. It spoils the mystique rather.
>>128 agreed. Some things are just better left to the imagination. Let the fantasies thrive instead of trying to get too much realism in.
Celebitchy did an Elizabeth Olsen post where they poke fun at her and Tom over her praise for Tom and his ISTL performance. We'll probably more posts like this when the ISTL promo picks up next month. Maybe not from proper media sources but from the Internet and fans and posters in general: http://www.celebitchy.com/472835/elizabeth_olsen_tom_hiddleston_nailed_his_portrayal_of_hank_williams/
>>129 Sadly I'm looking forward to ISTL being over. I said this in a previous thread that though I wasn't too interested in HW I'd have watched to see Tom's performance, but after all the THEO drama I don't want to see the film at all. It really turned me off.
I feel like I want to do a THEO-themed drinking game for their ISTL interviews.
Take a shot when:
Take two shots when:
3: TH says that he's NEVER heard of IG
4. EO casually mentions she got a new purse in Vietnam - and it's roughly the size of her face
>>130 I know what you mean. Country isn't my thing but I was mildly interested in watching it for Tom. Now, I really could care less since all that talk about putting his heart and soul and hard work into Hank now just seems like hot air because it just looks like he spent that time wooing his engaged costar.
>>131 Don't forget about Tom whining about his work and privacy and discussing how he's learned a new skill set in evading headline grabbing quotes.
God I didn't even think about all the dissections that will happen during the ISTL promo. All that new fodder to analyze. The body language, the awkward phrasing, whether the press will be told to steer clear of the couple dating "rumors", will Elizabeth hold the director's hand again, SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!
Speaking of the director, was she seeing both him and Tom at the same time? Or was the hand holding and witness eye accounts of her snuggling up to the director during High Rise just to throw off the scent of her and Tom "nailing" each other?
Take three shots when:
>>133 From the photos I saw of MA and EO, plus fan encounters, sightings, and the all important "body language," I think all of the internet would have been 100% sure they were a couple if it hadn't been for the THEO rumors and the age difference.
>>134 How many shots do we do when Tom talks in a southern accent? Or when he compares HW to Shakespeare?
>>135 lol the age difference was what almost convinced me that EO and MA were together. Being an Olsen trademark and all. She put on a convincing act that's for sure. Maybe that and pap night is why she got the ELLE actress of the year award.
>>136 to quote from Flann O'Brien, "at this, the old man cast away his glass and started drinking from the bottle."
>>136 comparisons to Shakespeare or any Shakespeare talk should be excluded from all TH drinking games because we'd all be dead by the end of the night. Seriously. We'd be doing shots in the middle of shots.
>>137 Maybe she couldn't get Tom to commit and was trying to make him jealous.
>>136 Yeah, we have to do the reverse: take a shot when TH doesn't speak in a southern accent.
>>133 I think the hand holding - and the 'they were so cozy at the HR screening' reports - smell of red herring. I saw someone on twitter swear that EO and MA were in Hawaii together but he wasn't pictured at the laser tag place. Okaaaayyyy, possible, I guess.
>>137 Elle actress of the year? Did I miss that post? For Avengers?
>>142 WHAT? Wow I missed the Marc Abraham in Hawaii sighting. Maybe EO is covering for the real secret relationship - TH and MA.
>>142 they claimed MA was in Hawaii too?? Hadnt heard that one! Yeah I think she was doing a red herring too. Or if you want to be really evil, EO tried to make TH jealous after he started distancing himself from her after pap night. She went to Hawaii in a last ditch effort but alas, Tom had left the building.
>>143 Yeah, she was at the ELLE style awards in UK two days ago and won the Actress of the Year award. I think it was for the Avengers. Then she jetted off to Milan for the Gucci fashion show.
>>144 You and I both - because there wasn't one. After IG-Gate, the poster (and it wasn't our usual sailor of Da-Nile) was telling everyone that EO and MA were together in HI, they were the couple, TH and EO were just friends. Whatever let's you sleep at night, I guess.
>>145 Actress of the year at the 'style' awards? Has Elle editorial seen her clothes?
>>146 I believe the ELLE awards are the kind you can buy for yourself or your publicist can negotiate for you. No real talent or style required. Just a publicist who can make the right calls at the right time. Similar to the GQ ones.
>>147 They should start doing an ELLE "Tom Hiddleston's Tropical Island FWB Dumpee of the Year" Award.
2014 Winner - Jane Arthy, for posing in restaurant photos and favoriting "Tom and his wife" tweets in Bora Bora
2015 Winner - Elizabeth Olsen, for her last-ditch effort to turn it into a real relationship at laser tag in Hawaii
>>148 I wonder who the next lucky lady will be in 2016! Usually I'd say keep an eye on any single ladies in Tom's general vicinity but after the EO situation, it's all up in the air!
That was mean. But I couldn't help it.
>>146 >>147 According to the comments on the CB article it was not for her "style" but for her "acting" in Age of Ultron. I'd be embarrassed to accept if I were her but maybe she thinks "hey, why should Brie get all the plaudits for Room, it's my turn now."
It's possible she was in London with the same girlfriend she recently had a vacation with. That girl (Jade Olivia Thimgummy) was in London at the same time. I may be overreaching here (which has never happened on this board before, I know...) but Jade Olivia is rumoured to have just split with Tom Felton. Are they suddenly hanging out a lot because they are both single? EO barely features in her pics before about January.
>>150 Could be that Tom and Elizabeth are truly over and so now her and Jade are being single gals together. One day, Tom will have a proper girlfriend and we won't have speculation or gossip to poke fun at anymore. And we can forget all about Internet sleuthing then!
>>151 That was what I was aiming at, but you express it better!
Torrilla has some pics of him white water rafting, which I reproduce via tumblr because on my phone I only seem to be able to link to her main page: http://ancientfinnishgoddess.tumblr.com/post/140022749185/hes-all-wet-like-the-rest-of-us-my-goodness-oo
Two thoughts:
1) massive gun development since spindly "running into water shirtless" shot in TNM. Given how lean he is naturally this is v impressive.
2) should one's eyes happen to drift downwards in pic #4 one would see that despite being soaking wet and despite northern Vietnam being jolly cold at this time of year, bulges elsewhere on his person are eye-wateringly large.
>>152 He looks like Pine again! Damn Thomas! Back at it again with those big guns and bulge! Yes that was my failed damn Daniel attempt.
Did a quick glance at Celebitchy last night and wow, quite a lot of posters still believe TH and EO never happened and that it's all innocent single kids fun. I thought maybe after the JVR IG pic fiasco, there might be some different tunes but guess not. I wonder if this is how they first show signs that even if Tom gets married with kids, they'll think it's all some gimmick like some of the really scary Cumberbatch fans do.
>>153 I've certainly gone back and forth on this. That was mostly because EO said no at TIFF, and they were so awkward and miserable around one another that I tended to believe her notwithstanding any previous evidence to the contrary. However looking back now at everything that happened since July, and in particular the HI visit, there isn't much doubt in my mind, at least that they bumped uglies. When, for how long and with what degree of commitment is and will doubtless remain shrouded in mystery.
There's video. He officially has the most enormous feet ever: http://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:f9bc40570fba5eb0dbf4e26e9416a716
>>153 This is a phenomenon that has been a topic here a few times. I'm especially fascinated by it. Some fans will explain away every twitter sighting, every anon cup of tea, every tabloid article with a 'no picture, no proof.'
Then, when there is a pic, they will explain it away as well: just friends, photoshop, she's clinging on/he doesn't want her there, it's the end of the relationship, you can see it in his eyes.
Like I said, they're just trying to get to sleep at night, but the denial is creeping toward Cumberbatch territory, which is worrisome.
>>152 We shouldn't be talking about his body...unless it's his body of work. Respect him as an artist, please. ;)
>>157 but what if we want to talk about what a work of art his body is? Because I mean I'll respect the hell out of that ;)))
>>154>>156 Yeah it's a little worrisome how far some of them go to explain that Tom is just friends with the lady or that she's the pushy one and he's too polite to say no. I always thought THEO was on but went underground because ISTL bombed and people were starting to wonder if some cheating happened and neither wanted that kind of attention. Especially if they weren't really serious about each other and just liked hooking up. I still think they were hooking up on and off ever since they started working together on ISTL. And maybe they still might be seeing each other. They'd been good about keeping it quiet until the tabloids started reading. But it doesn't seem very committed or serious so far which is why I say on and off hookup.
Even if they were serious, I think Tom seems pretty adamant about keeping his private life out of the limelight so he'd just ignore everything until he's ready to walk down the aisle with the lady.
>>158 The "good at keeping it quiet" part is another mystery. The US Weekly article wasn't written as a result of pap pics of them, which made it look like a deliberate leak from his/her people (that plus her having given US Weekly an exclusive previously). On some level someone wanted it out there. Which quickly turned into a disaster from a PR and personal perspective. So back they went underground. Interesting that they managed to evade the paps altogether in HI despite it being a popular location for celeb beach pics. I can't believe he couldn't have done the same in London had he chosen.
>>159 That initial article is likely the most accurate piece of information we were given - "they're hooking up, it's casual." I think that was really the extent of their relationship. Whether it's still happening is unknown, but based on the shift in tone of tabloid leaks and the amount of time they've spent apart over the last two months when they apparently had so much opportunity to get together, my money is on it being over.
>>156 There is quite a range of views on CB. There are the ones who are up to the neck in de Nile. Then there is one in particular who always says primly "we don't know anything because he has never confirmed or denied THEREFORE ABSOLUTELY HE IS SINGLE," which is denial about his relationship status and also about one's own state of mind. There are plenty who recognise that the evidence was all circumstantial but think probably yes. And there is one person who said firmly that circumstantial evidence isn't enough to convict anyone, which she will learn is wrong when she is prosecuted for arson after being seen leaving a burning building carrying a can of petrol and a box of matches.
>>160 Yes, accurate because she wrote it, cough cough. I don't actually think it was crazy fan speculation when we wondered on here if she was the more keen because the article and the second one probably came from "her people". Seems to be borne out by who did all the travelling to see whom.
I agree that it is probably over. Your table of "if they spend _______together it will mean something" and your guess that they wouldn't spend valentines, her birthday or his break together has been borne out.
>>159 that leak did seem deliberate and could have been an attempt at using whatever they had going on to push the movie when they thought it had a shot at the Oscars. I'm also in awe how they stayed under the radar in Hawaii. Definitely makes me believe even more that London pap night was staged and EO overacted a little too much.
>>160 yeah it's always seemed more casual than serious. Probably why it was so easy for them to shift everything towards a breakup in the tabloids.
One thing is for sure though, all the THEO rumors and the cheating/ homewrecker speculation definitely caused some real entertainment. I never thought I'd see Tom's name in something like this because of how squeaky clean he always keeps his image. Whether or not it's true doesn't really matter but it was definitely interesting to see Tom's name come up like that.
>>161 I saw those! And honestly that is some serious hardcore committed level of denials. I'd think after the Hawaii confirmation of her being there might change some point of views but no way. Lex or whatever she goes by should feel right at home there.
>>162 I do think EO was more eager to get something serious out of it with him. She certainly did most of the chasing. But what really sold me on it was the language in all those tabloids. All in favor of her and none for Tom. He was the chaser and whiner and griper and EO was always the one not wanting to commit and be free to concentrate on her career. So far, all she got written in her favor looks true for Tom more than her.
>>163 I'm gonna be a conspiracy theorist for a moment and put this out there: what if the photo of THEO posted on Town Bike was planted? An "anonymous fan" happens to get a perfect photo of the two of them from behind, arms around each other, with EO's easily identifiable yellow bag from the week before hanging over her back. That pic was the warm up, and then boom, pap night. I think Town Bike is overreaching when she says Tom visits her blog, but any good PR in the age of social media is going to be aware of their client's fanbase, and I could easily see a savvy publicist using a blog like that to their advantage.
>>164 Can I just say I don't want anyone on here to think we are getting at them for not agreeing at various times that there was a relationship. There was no hand holding on the red carpet or snogging photo, and EO did deny it. You don't have to be a crazy fan to say, after looking at this clusterfuck, maybe not.
What really tipped the balance for me, as I said above, was actual photographic confirmation that she was in HI. As an old cynic I thought it was unlikely that a single woman would travel all that way to hang out with a single man just to be friends.
>>165 Your theory might not be far off. Cosmetic companies sponsor trips to tropical islands for YouTube beauty bloggers so that they can peddle their products to their subscribers. For someone like Tom who has a big online presence, it would make sense for his publicist to tap into that power over traditional media.
With how carefully Tom hides his romances and how he hid Jane Arthy, it does make you wonder how a fan was able to catch that shot. If the THEO thing was their publicists trying to use their clients' hookups as a way to raise their profile and maybe get more focus on their movie, it definitely worked. Just not positively because the movie was DOA and most paid attention to the "sparks flew on set" and rememberered EO was still engaged at the time and began wondering if some cheating went on. Tom probably hit abort at that point because he definitely wants to keep that perfect gent image for now.
>>165 That for me is a bridge too far. Several people told the bike they had seen them together and she goaded them to take a pic "or it never happened", the usual. I reckon one of the lurkers at the cafe waited for them then followed them - it would be quite easy if he goes there regular as clockwork as is said.
But I also assumed that pap night arose out of that pic after it was posted in the DM. Not sure for what purpose exactly. To validate" the US Weekly story? One would have thought the existence of the pic was enough. As we have said so often none of it makes sense!!!!
>>166 That's what I mean. In the beginning, it was too vague and then you had clear denials so it made sense. Even I was like yeah it's nothing. After Hawaii, I would think some would wonder just a little. But like that one poster said some other celebrities like Damien Lewis and Gwendolyn Christie visited as well and EO could've done the same and it's all innocent. If so that's one amazing coincidence especially so close to the timing of their romance rumors.
>>161 I like this interesting approach to the law: Officer, offfiiiiccccceeeeerrrr, I was just holding this alcohol...in my blood stream....for a friend. I am not drunk and disorderly, thank you very much.
>>170 I am holding alcohol in my bloodstream for a friend right now. It's Friday night and we are just about to settle down in front of The People vs OJ Simpson. So no spoilers please as I don't know how it's going to end ;)
>>169 Did DL visit TH at his love nest in the backwoods of HI? That I missed!!
The thing with causal, on/off hook-ups is they're just that: casual and on/off. So, five-hour flight for a bang? Sure, why not. But a 14 hour flight - not feeling it, not even for birthday/Valentine's bang (even though they're the best bangs going!).
So, casual/hook-up THEO may still be alive - if not 'kicking.'
They may continue to 'see' each other when possible/preferable until either begins a new/serious relationship with someone else.
That having been said, Miss On-set Romance seems to have an MO: Boyd (worked together, got together), TH (worked together, got together). It could be the case that the romance bug bites on the set of this next movie (though probably not with Renner).
>>171 It ends with the Kardashian name becoming a household name - and that is like the bowels of Hell opening up.
TH and Khloe, anyone? I guess Kourtney would be more his 'type.'
>>172 In theory! Maybe half of Hollywood did. All of which means EO visiting was NO BIG DEAL!!
>>175 Really? Where did that rumour come from? Twitter?
The consensus chez nous is that E1 of The People vs OJ is way, way better than E1 of TNM. This from two lawyers who never normally watch anything involving a lawyer. I feel disloyal....
>>176 Let's start our own rumor: Tom invited Damien Lewis, Gwendoline Christie, and Elizabeth Olsen to the Skull Island set in Hawaii for a Kong-themed sex party! Monkey costumes mandatory.
I nearly ran over Damian Lewis just before Christmas. He walked behind my car while I was reversing into a parking space, tsk, tsk. I should have hopped out and asked him about his holiday!
>>172 No idea if it really happened. There were claims that you can see him in the go kart pics in the back but honestly, most of them also say it's not EO in the collage but that other Erin Moriarty actress. I would check those pics but I don't feel like it lol I'm sure if a pic came out from the Hawaii days with EO and TH kissing and cozy in the back, it'll be "a kiss is zero proof of romantic relationships. I kiss my dog on the mouth all the time, does this mean I'm sleeping with him? Of course not! Please stop jumping to conclusions!"
>>175>>176 Thank you! I'm not the only side eyeing how suddenly everyone was showing up to the Skull Island set. Maybe they all came with EO to persuade Tom that he should be with there and then they all did rendition of "Kiss The Girl" from The Little Mermaid.
>>179 Are all these "sightings" only coming out now, or did we just not notice/discuss them back when they happened?
>>180 We didn't discuss them IIRC. I have no idea if they came out back in Oct/Nov. I never saw them and I never saw any reference to them in CB comments. I do recall an extensive comments section on tweets about EO shopping at the market etc.
>>180 From what I recall, no one on CB or anywhere else mentioned all these sightings. It was just discussion about sightings of EO in Hawaii at the farmer's market and the ethics of sharing those social media accounts that saw her and Tom together. It didn't even come up when the JVR IG collage incident happened. No one's linking anything either and I don't know if my tired blind as a bat eyes can spot murky blurry figures in the back and figure out if it's Damien Lewis or Gwendolyn Christie or whoever else they're now claiming was on the SI set.
I just had a thought. What if all these posters are thinking that Marc Evan Jackson is Damien Lewis? He's the only one I see in the go kart pics that could resemble Damien Lewis otherwise I don't see DL at all. If so, I think we just solved the mystery. DL was never there and EO was definitely there.
http://36.media.tumblr.com/aa1b3907a461b0d7e42123767efb4416/tumblr_inline_nylmuq3cZT1sfkw6b_1280.jpg
http://36.media.tumblr.com/aaaaadb79d8b36fa31e19ead4984472c/tumblr_inline_nylmvdURp91sfkw6b_1280.jpg
I'm going to guess that the GC and DL sightings and about two thirds of the EO sightings were fake. I think once a sighting is over three months old it's pretty much irrelevant anyway.
I can say for certain that the guy in pic 1 is not DL. Easy answer: way too short. And this I can say for certain because in addition to nearly running him over I have met him coming out of a shop in Belsize Park; he is a strapping 6 footer.
After this discovery of the supposed DL being Marc Evan Jackson instead, I'm now doubting there's a Samuel L Jackson interview out there where he talks about inviting Gwendoline Christie to the SI set.
>>186 Hey, I doubt that they are making a movie. I think it's just gone giant holiday.
PS I just looked up Damian Lewis's height: 6 foot 1 inch. I was bang on the money. No way is the guy in that pic 1 inch shorter than TH.
>>186 This? Sounds like he didn't invite her: http://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/gwendoline-christie/#_
>>187 Yeah, it's definitely not Damien Lewis. They just saw a pale ginger guy and assumed it was DL. Just like some of them still think it's Erin Moriarity and not EO in the collage pics. Well, hey, whatever floats your boat, folks. Now, that video of Tom rafting. I believe we need more pics and videos like that. It's positively criminal that they're all having this much fun and saying Tom the Dance King yet we have no video. POSITIVELY CRIMINAL, I SAY!
>>188 lol instead it's her inviting him to Belfast for a GOT set tour. This is exactly why this board is so much more fun.
I am eternally partial to a man with a pencil behind his ear or in his mouth. Sigh.
>>180 I'm sure they floated around various places when he was in HI and then when IG-Gate happened. But this board - sensible creature that it is - never gave them purchase.
Because, let's face it, it's all rubbish meant to somehow discount or diminish EO's presence in HI. Because, you know, if DL or GC showed up on set, that totally means THEO isn't a thing - reasonable argument!
>>189 I agree. More wet Tom! More dancing Tom! More karaoke Tom!
I - more than I should - want TH, while unbuttoning and dropping trou, to say to me 'Stand back, I know what to do.'
I want it. I want it.
>>194 HAHAHAHAHA! This is GOLD! I love it! Tom that golden retriever with a heart of gold! If someone had told me this I would think it was fiction but OMG! Too funny!
How is she delivering her lines? Or remaining conscious?
