Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston

>>948 wow, that's a very long time, for Swift I mean, but I get what you mean, the man can be stubborn. I don't factor in Australia because she has the means and the time to follow him - if he is so besotted he won't mind her following him to Oz.
And TayTay has a history of not liking her man to be overly close and fond with other women, while we know TH has a tendency to squeeze girls and stare at boobs (something I think Swift is very well aware of).

Finally, the Harris shade is thrown and it's marvelous.

Also that Belgian radio interview we decided was fake has gained traction. Does this mean it's been verified?

>>951 It is a long time for her, but she has just come off a long relationship and she seems to be in "I am not a loser teenager I can have a properly long relationship" mode.

955 Name: Anon : 2016-06-23 13:21 ID:gIPGuddk

>>953 No, E does say that it may be a fake and that they have "reached out" to the station for comment - ie they know full well it is but wanted the clicks.

956 Name: anonymous : 2016-06-23 14:04 ID:AhEz7/CM

Honestly .. though the PR is fake as hell .. I have to know concede / pray that the sentiments on both sides are real cos the amount of burn and damage this guys is now getting cannot be worth it otherwise.

Needless to say, my respect for EO and her evidently non-PR hounding ways has grown exponentially in the last week.

957 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-23 14:19 ID:Heaven

>>956 Swift is doing her usual game, her sentiments are real in a self-serving way.
As for EO she was author or complicit in the PursePurseGate, she gave quite the performance that night, but contrary to what he looks in these photos with TayTay, TH that night looked pissed. Besides, after Hawaii the articles were shading TH not her, so she played the game for a little while. The difference is that I don't think she did it for PR purposes, but to push TH to commit. Either that or they both had the most lousy PR in the US.

958 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-23 14:52 ID:Heaven

The interview is irrelevant but there a little video of the 2 of them getting into the car after the concert.

>>951 I don't think they'll reach 6-9 months. I dont even give it her average 3-4 months because of how fast this is going and how she's releasing something everyday, either in pics or leaks. It's easy to tell Tom's team isn't doing much. It's Taylor and team leading and molding the narrative. There is an endgame here but I haven't figured out exactly what yet beyond her not wanting to appear pathetic that she got dumped again. Some of the things Calvin released (or leaked) after the breakup made her look really clingy and not very flattering. She doesn't like people pitying her or feeling sorry for her. She plays the "I'm a victim but I rise" card. And when she was papped with Tom in Rhode Island, there was the rise. Taylor rising above her ex's insults and fate smiling on her and blessing her with the perfect British gent who'll do whatever she wants because all he wants is to make her happy. Her stans ATE IT UP and have been applauding her for sticking it to Calvin since then. She doesn't care Tom is a joke right now because she doesn't plan on being with him for that long. Just long enough to get the upper hand on the media narrative again that Calvin upset with the breakup.

I think she may want Calvin back but on her terms. With Tom's appreciation for the ladies and the current shade on him for being a homewrecker, it'll be an easy sell for to say Tom cheated on her, she left and her ex swooped back in the hero and saved her and now they've matured and they're giving it another go.

962 Name: Anon : 2016-06-23 21:33 ID:gIPGuddk

>>959 >>960

I have to say, all this is slightly taking the joy out of being a TH fan. I used to enjoy the sleuthing that people here did and the pleasure of finding the occasional sighting or pic when he wasn't busy or was hiding out on set. It was like being a fan of the Scarlet Pimpernel (and he does look rather like Leslie Howard!).

But if the Internet is going to keep vomiting up sightings every time Taylor blows her nose....it's going to get boring really quickly.

963 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-23 21:56 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>962 It has become rather On Demand. ToTay On Demand. ToTay Now.
That's what you get when you become tabloid fodder though. We joke around that we want to see them go whole hog but now that they are and we're getting something everyday, the burnout is very real. Most feel the same way (except the stans, they've erected tumblrs, IGs and whatnot dedicated to ToTay).

With the way it's all moving so fast, the breakup is probably on the horizon too. They have to milk this as fast as possible and ride the novelty then settle back into their own orbits before people get sick of the manufactured PR and move on. Rebound whiplash in 3,2,1.

964 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-23 21:59 ID:CMz6GCNx

I forget. Is it ToTay or TayTo? I think it's TayTo. I've writing ToTay this whole time lol! I can't even keep these ships names straight 😆

965 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-23 23:56 ID:CMz6GCNx

Apparently Calvin is answering fans on IG and has more or less confirmed Taylor dumped him for Tom. He writes the reply then deletes it after a while. The screenshots are all over IG under his tag.

Calvin is just as much a drama queen as Taylor and they both love it. They're like a high school version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

966 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 00:04 ID:CMz6GCNx

Lol Calvin. They're causing a storm on IG right now I'm really hoping this aren't doctored or fake.

Ha, Calvin got a bit ranty on Instagram. My tinfoil hat is coming off, there's no doubt she cheated. He's doing everything he can to say it without getting sued.

I wonder what the realTayTo timeline is.
Something we'll never know considering her iron claw hold on the media

Calvin has another single coming out on Friday and so does Kayne (there are rumors he will screen that phone conversation with TS he recorded live as part of his promo) I really wonder what kind of shenanigans TayTo will pull. If they lie low I'm withdrawing my 'it's all PR' card. If they pull a Swiftie, it's a red flag. My moneys on the Swiftie.

968 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-24 00:09 ID:3SP9WJWk

>>966 Oh snap!

969 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 00:14 ID:WBIiYd+6

>>967
I've heard a bunch of theories on when TayTo got started. A lot of people support that it was digital and then took off when they finally met at Anna W for the dinner.

She does have an iron fist over the media but I wonder what's the juicier scoop? I'm kind of hoping the media and tabloids deliver us the scandalous goods!

970 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-24 00:20 ID:3SP9WJWk

>>969 A phone leak would just make my day. A full transcript of THs sexting.
Meeting at the Met and falling in love on the dancefloor is as believable as the staged photoshoot on the beach. They're a curated fairytale

971 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 00:33 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>970 Wouldn't that be something? Her entire empire would crumble. Then she'd be laughed at just like Tom is right now.

Lol she was on tumblr and used it to connect with fans. What if she stumbled across the fanfic of her and Tom and decided yes this is what I want and then proceeded to find him and get it on? He is tumblr famous. I just always thought it was hilarious when the tabloids were plastering that fanfic everywhere and saying "it predicted TayTo! It's in the stars!"

972 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-24 00:50 ID:3SP9WJWk

>>971 I'm not buying their bio.

Not. At. All.

It's straight from Tumblr to the tabloids.

I feel like I've rented a dull winter holiday house and read through their entire collection of 80s Mills and Boon novels while watching Disney films

973 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 01:52 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>972 Lol their story is too sanitized. And the way the media backlashed, people are tired of being taken for fools. Then again it's celebrity gossip. It's all about the soap opera!

974 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 04:32 ID:CMz6GCNx

Okay I was joking before but now it's getting ridiculous. Every single outing is getting papped? There was dinner from last night but now we have lunch from that day too? She always makes sure to look at the camera and smile lol

http://www.justjared.com/2016/06/23/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-go-on-lunchtime-double-date/

I need a break from them now. This is going to go on everyday for every mealtime apparently lol

975 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-06-24 04:37 ID:tFWZ1nis

>>925>>930 I'll bet she's already contacted a real estate agent in NW3 (for show; I'm surprised the rumors haven't started yet). Yes, she bought a home near the Kennedy boy within a month of them dating; they broke up about 2 months into the relationship.

>>932 I always thought the fallout with ELLEUK was after the poor interview that was published during the Coriolanus run.

>>936 He acts like he's still insecure about his looks even though he's got a smoking body. Maybe it's the receding hairline? People are polarized about his face - he's either 'the most handsome,' or he's 'fugly and his eyes are too close together.' Nothing in between.

>>934 >>969 The version of the pregnancy rumor I've heard was that she was earlier in the CH relationship, but is no longer (on purpose), and when she told CH what she did, that's when he had the car accident. >>937 She really loves and still wants him, and, per her standard M.O., is using T to look like the victim.

>>946 Corolla is on the shore of North Carolina. They probably went riding on the beach.

>>970 If you think TH is being humiliated now, imagine proof that their relationship goes back 2 or 3 months...

976 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 05:34 ID:CMz6GCNx

DailyMail published the lunch pics and added the new info:

"Meanwhile, the Avengers star reportedly also wants to get serious with Taylor, with a source telling the publication that he has 'wanted to settle down for a while.'

'I think he will introduce Taylor to his mates soon,' the source close to Tom added."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3657664/Taylor-Swift-spends-day-parents-joins-new-boyfriend-Tom-Hiddleston-dinner.html

Obviously it's a tabloid and they'll spice it up but is this something one of their teams had leaked or did DM just throw that in there? This is going pretty damn fast now lol It's only been 8 days since they went public.

977 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 05:48 ID:CMz6GCNx

Damn ladies. We might just see Tom and Taylor get married with how lovestruck they both look in those DM lunch pics. Either it's been going on for a way way way longer than the official story or this is Bennifer 1.0 on steroids.

978 Name: Anon : 2016-06-24 06:00 ID:wg77yFkA

I am truly confused now. He looked a bit dead in the eyes after the dinner at Ruth Chris's steakhouse and after the concert as well. And truly uncomfortable with the entire situation just walking outside of the restaurant where he held Taylor's hand so loosely. Now, he's kissing TS's hand and leaning against her hand at dinner? What? And he stares at the paps as he leaves the restaurant dead in the eye! TH, that was bold.

Now I get it! They were out with her friends, so he's trying to establish that he cares. Plus, the pair has to double down on their "relationship" for the press, b/c otherwise they're just liars or con artists. Wow. Remember, she one was the one all over Tom at the concert. He just let his arms drop after both hugs, and no kiss even on the cheek or forehead.

I think that the narrative is entirely for Taylor's benefit. Look world, Taylor has a man who romantically loves her. And they're dating in a lovely traditional way. Its her theme, and it would probably be the theme for all women if we could manage it. Plus she is sprinting out for the relationship w CH and winning their breakup.

Trading stories about Hollywood and Music world must be a blast, but I can't see them talking about anything else. Maybe a cool down over the summer in Oz, and over before the Emmys in the fall when he is nominated for TNM. But I'm still not sure how this helps him get marquee leading man roles? Any thoughts on my thoughts?

979 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:09 ID:Heaven

>>961 Let's just say that I hope you are right at this point, and I agree that his PR went AWOL (after saying you don't comment on your client's love life you can't do much), but personally I'm afraid of sticking to a theory too much because I feel my wish for him to be able to save a little of his dignity and brain might make me bend facts to theory and not viceversa.

I do hope he retain enough of his supposed intelligence to be wary of running toward a wedding. The only thing I know for sure is that Swift will dump him, it might be even in a year but it'll happen.

980 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:13 ID:Heaven

>>962 It is too much, but if at least it were something without negative sides and 99% of PR we could at least enjoy the pretty pics.

>>966,967 They were perfect for each other.

>>969,970 A phone hacking would be perfect to completely destroy TH too, the man isn't very technological, no doubt he kept the history of everything.

981 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:16 ID:Heaven

>>974 while instead he always pretends he doesn't know paps are there, he really is blinded to her real nature isn't he?

It makes me smile when I see him struggling to act like he is protecting her, while surrounded by her security, and he gallantly holds the door, of her car. Maybe that's why he has no new clothes, they are the only thing he is still in control of. Maybe a part of his brain is fighting for reason.

982 Name: Anon : 2016-06-24 06:22 ID:wg77yFkA

Good point about sticking not sticking to a theory. Vacationing with a man at the beginning of a relationship (not usually quite this fast) is a high. B/c you are free from work entanglements, and you can just have fun together 24/7. And you bond incredibly quickly. But if the relationship starts at too furious a pitch, the man just freaks out after the vacation and needs, "space." Sadly, long vacations with couples at the start of relationships lead to breakups b/c of that very thing. Or he freaks out before he wedding like Ben Affleck did with Lopez, when he felt swept away by the momentum of their courtship.

Don't see marriage from TH. I have nothing unkind to say about TS, except that she seems a bit young in aura for such an accomplished woman. He seems like an analytical and cerebral man who would be very cautious about that kind of a choice, especially since his parents divorced. But I don't know him of course.

983 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:26 ID:Heaven

>>975 Then that tweet about Corolla was false because from this photos they clearly stayed in Nashville.

>>976 He didn't go with her to see her parents, maybe he decided to learn the script for Thor3, his role must be minimal.

>>978 I know right? Whenever he doesn't know they are filmed he gets all serious. I hope it's his wariness. Maybe they are going so fast because this is going to be a summer fling so they need to burn fast.

984 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-06-24 06:31 ID:tFWZ1nis

>>978 The longer being papped keeps him in the press with TS, the more he achieves widespread name recognition in Middle American. It may get him another villian role but after 3 box office duds I don't think he going about it the wrong way.

985 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-06-24 06:33 ID:tFWZ1nis

after 3 box office duds I *do think he going about it the wrong way.

986 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-06-24 06:36 ID:tFWZ1nis

Is there a job still open at his PR company? This is a flaming disaster. Anything that comes out regarding his career is, for right now, being seen through the filter of the relationship, and it all starts to feel cheap.

987 Name: anonymous : 2016-06-24 06:43 ID:AhEz7/CM

I predict an engagement photoshoot by next Friday.

988 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:46 ID:Heaven

He still lokks like an uncle with his niece. Too bad MichaelK. didn't notice he had his eyeglasses with him at the concert, or the handholding chain they did.

989 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-24 06:47 ID:g29B3NLs

>>978 Calm yo tits ladies and remember TH is an AKTOR!
He knows the cameras are on him, none of this is genuine.
Not to say the sentiment isn't true but what we are seeing through the eyes of personally assigned paparazzi is unlikely to be mirrored behind closed doors.

Also they lunched with his friends- the granddaughter of Hank who wrote the nice article about him. If I were them I would have cringed and gagged through the entire lunch then laughed all the way home with my bf. That pda is ott for a double date.

There is no way the timeline they are selling is true. This has obviously being going on way before she whisked him away to RI. Believe nothing you read and look at pictures with skepticism and a lot of humor.

Next will be a quick visit to the UK to meet friends and family before the conjoined twins go to Oz and I can't wait to see if her paps follow them there or will they finally give us a break from their circus sideshow.

990 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 06:48 ID:CMz6GCNx

Just generally speaking, regardless of whatever Tom and Taylor are like, it's too soon to be thinking of settling down. You at least spend a year together before deciding " hey this could actually work pretty well long term and maybe for the rest of my life" What's the reason behind such a fast tracked narrative? I don't buy the crazy in love reason, it's too juvenile. Is it really so Taylor can one up Calvin in this high school breakup drama while taking attention away from the Kanye debacle? Is it a mutual pairing where she gets to be the winner in her Calvin drama while Tom gets more visibility? Like Anon said how does this get him more roles? Unless this fling is his audition for How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days the sequel.

I can see many things Taylor is gaining from this. But I don't see Tom gaining anything. He's become a joke and his own country's media that used to adore him is now laughing at him too. How does he win in this?

991 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:53 ID:Heaven

>>989 she looked familiar! I remember when Swift followed Tom in 2014 we joked she wanted him as her next prey. I can totally see her sucking it up to TH telling how amazing ISTL was and him thinking "Finally someone that understands how awesome this film is"

992 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 06:59 ID:Heaven

Gotta to say I can't imagine someone willing to date him after all this, not right away at least. Who would trust his feelings or anything he says? Unless we are talking about another PR creature or someone after his money.

993 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-24 07:03 ID:g29B3NLs

>>992 No way. There'll be a rush on sloppy seconds. Like when the hot girl falls for the guy you all thought was a douche and suddenly everyone wants a piece. Not saying he's a douche.. or am I..

994 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 07:03 ID:Heaven

995 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-24 07:08 ID:Heaven

>>993 yeah but I'm not speaking of his stans or the likes of TayTa's squad members, I'm talking of him maybe meeting someone who actually can be the one. He would have to work double to justify this behaviour, I know he would have to with me. For instance I wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

996 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-24 07:11 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>991 snort the true way to TH's heart, gush over ISTL and what a misunderstood gem it was.

Her looking at the camera thru the window and playing to it is kinda creeping me out.

997 Name: Anon : 2016-06-24 07:12 ID:wg77yFkA

But when could they have met besides the met ball? During Nashville during the filming of ISTL? TS is stalked by paps and fans most of the time. How would they work that out? Maybe they just did a lot of texting, and saucy skyping after the ball, before hooking up over this past week or so.

Is TS Hiddleston's dream girl? Because maybe the nerdy guy in him sees her as the prom queen? I feel like TH's persona is just gone now, and I feel kind of lost and bemused. What about Seneca, Plato, and Shakespeare? What about authenticity? What about some things are sacred, like privacy? We've gone from Oxbridge to Selena Gomez...

And is Harvey Weinstein going to give TH a great script with an awards push like with Cumberbatch and the Imitation Game? Is this circus going to lead Steve McQueen to work with him, like he did with Fassbender in Shame? Huh?
