Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>297 My thoughts exactly. But hey, they they went to a Selena Gomez concert which is much worse.
I think Tom wants to get into the music world and Taylor wants to get into the cinema world (her few film appearances were irrelevant). This relationship will be beneficial for both.
Also, as someone has mentioned, she wants to marry a British from upper class with high connections and he wants to have money to be at the some level as his ex colleagues from Eton. She brings the money to the marriage and he brings the class status. Everyone will forget her slut reputation (or so she thinks).
Maybe her bored face in the photos with his mum were because she's realised that he's family is not so upper class as she initially thought. There's no ancient mansion or friends with noble titles.
>>296 Someone copy pasted the article on Tom's IMDB message board. You can read it here - http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1089991/board/threads/258725508/
>>301 She's aiming for Prince Harry. Tom is just a stepping stone lol She'll get her chance at Wimbledon when Tom introduces her to Camilla.

Some more beach shots which I'm posting for the obvious juxtaposition to the caption 'SHE LOOKS SO AT PEACE, BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY 😻👫❤'
Is that an eyeroll that's progressed into a full head roll?

This is absolutely terrifying.
>>294 Selena Gomez to Lionel Ritchie in a week. How's that age gap going guys?
>>305 That hand holding...she always holds hands with all her guys the same way. There's never any variation. Always the interlaced claw.
>>305 That pic of him is terrifying. Stockholm Syndrome anyone?
She meanwhile still hates the bullshit beach.
Richie vs Gomez has nothing on the charms of Aldeburgh in festival season. As my husband said when he saw the pap pictures, maybe the bodyguard will take one for the team if it looks like someone might get run over by an electric wheelchair.
>>307 LOL
>>308 I think his mother would probably think Lionel Richie was a bit moderne. She is a doyenne of the Aldeburgh Festival and has been on the organising committee several times.
The news about his first serious girlfriend is everywhere. I'm sure it was his PR team that leaked the story in order to stop the "Tom Hiddleston is gay" rumours.

Th showing her his domain and TS thinking "Where's my jet? My SUV? My horse, my horse, my kingdom for a horse!"
I want to share this comment from DListed because it's ON SPOT:
http://66.media.tumblr.com/ea0ddb12b66d4a10f66dbc738dc3add8/tumblr_o9cdueugMb1qb86xno1_r1_1280.jpg
This is the original Stockholm Syndrome photo, so basically TS was saying "Guys turn to your left for the paps please, I didn't pay all that fuel for my jet to walk aimlessly on this beach"
>>314 Oh my.
Honestly I would love to see fan photos, or any other type of photo than pap photos. And how blatantly there are they? I know there were photos of paps outside the house, but I dunno.
Are they called now, or is it just ants on sugar since it's a supposedly quiet sort of location?
>>315 probably both? Like Anon said the first batch of paps were called because they were there the very instant things were happening, now of course others flocked because it's worth it.
>>315 Here's a pic of the beach. Nowhere for a pap to hide - so at the very least on those beach photos they know they are there. http://www.tournorfolk.co.uk/aldeburgh.html
Torrilla has a pic of paps at the end of the street - but that pic was taken the day after the original meet mum pics. They have all descended now she is known to be here. The original pics were staged - mum didn't wait at her door and greet TS once she stepped inside, like any normal person welcoming someone into her home. She came out of her house, through her front garden, out past the high walls surrounding her property and into the street. If they hadn't called the paps and she didn't want to be photographed there was no need to have been.
Anyone know how I can post screencaps on here?
>>319 I think you may have to upload them elsewhere and then post links, but I'm not sure.
>>319 like anonsy said or there is an image board
http://4-ch.net/img/
>>321 thanks I will experiment later with the image board. Have to pop out now.
More photos from the beach papstroll

And then this, preparation for the 4th of July party?

I missed this detail in the DM's exclusive article with TH's mother, but I read it again in the new CB post, this was supposed to be a "quick, 24-hour trip" That explains the bored face on the beach.
No sightings of them at the Lionel Richie concert. The only thing I found was a comment on a DM article from a guy saying the he had seen them at a Colchester petrol station and they were heading to the concert. How did he know they were going to the concert? I'm sure they wouldn't tell him that. Maybe they were heading to the airport to get on her private plane or maybe they were going to London to his place.
>>323 have they cropped his mother out of a few of those? They look familiar but missing her.

http://tom-hiddleston.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=634&pid=32484#top_display_media
Don't crop mama out; she's the only thing giving these shots legitimacy.
>>326 Poor mama, forced to do a papstroll, ignored by her son's gf for most of the walk and then cropped out!
>>324 The concert venue is next to the petrol station. He might have seen them going in when he was parked up to get petrol. By the way it is the same petrol station as he was spotted at getting coffee on the way down to Suffolk! He is a creature of habit all the way!
>>328 They'll spin this like the other concert: He's so in love that he went to her friend's concert; now it's time for her to enjoy some of his 'more mature' music.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get pics. They seem incapable of going out without pics being taken.
I still think they were not at the concert. That's the petrol station near the highway to London and to the airport where her plane is.
>>330 Seems like they might still be in Suffolk
http://theoanons.tumblr.com/post/146504408426/thanks-anon-for-the-tweet
PS I love how people refer to Suffolk as 'his hometown.' Let's count the ways in which this is incorrect.
Here's a community service post for anyone with residual doubt that the maternal pap stroll was staged, or in some way foisted on the Hiddleston family without their consent after sneaky paps saw Taylor's plane land and trailed them all the way to Aldeburgh.
Here is a picture of Mama H welcoming TS: http://4-ch.net/img/src/1466957400346.jpg And here is a much wider street view of the same place: http://4-ch.net/img/src/1466957678459.png Look at the single storey building on the left and the black and white gable behind it.
Immediately in front of the single storey building is a parking space, and I am guessing that the DM pics were taken after TS and her entourage parked there. She and TH are headed towards the house on the extreme front right on the street view. Yes, the one which is completely invisible and well set back behind a giant hedge. I think I was wrong and the drive belongs to next door. So TS couldn't have driven up to the front door and got inside in total privacy. But what you can see, I hope, is that Mrs H has come out of her house, out from behind her massive fuck off sized hedge, and walked about 20 yards along the road to the parking place, despite the fact that her son was holding his mobile phone and presumably could have called and said "don't come out mummy, the paps are everywhere." It does not therefore seem to me that this was an unwilling pap encounter. Perhaps I am unduly cynical in my old age.
>>332 No, you were duly accurate and fair. He forced his mum to go out to meet them precisely because the DM's paps were there.
>>333 I should also have mentioned that the road where the paps were standing is dead straight and wide - as you can see a bit from the street view. They weren't hiding behind a bush, folks!
And don't forget that that is a private street only accessible to residents. There are electric barriers and I've seen at least photo taken by a resident the day after their arrival showing the paps outside the barrier.
>>335 What an excellent point. It is accessible on foot, and there is a manual barrier, but only at one end (there's no guard so I guess bona fide residents want to drive in and out without stopping to fiddle with a barrier). The manual barrier is where the paps were standing. But the whole encounter took place on private property - you're absolutely right. Which means that the paps only got in with permission.
Here's the tweet with the photo taken yesterday that shows the paps outside the electric barrier. You can also see the same barrier on Google earth so it's that's means it's not a recent security measure.
She had to come out to get papped.
https://twitter.
com/atthebasin/status/746720532553469952
>>334 It's also interesting that that's the only time the paps took photos near his mother's house, they didn't when they left for the beach walk, they didn't when he went out/came back with his brother-in-law. So yes, completely staged.
This would be the photos where you can see the paps (a pap photographing other paps, delirious)
http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/6e14d388gw1f57vt0mmsgj216o1kwtmj.jpg
>>337 sorry I posted my link before seeing yours
>>338 That's the barrier I mean. You drive into the street from the other end where there is no barrier. You can actually see the black and white gable in the pic - so even assuming the paps were photographing the encounter from behind the barrier (not allowed because it would be a photo of them on private property), they would have been completely visible to TH and TS.
I know it's just a blind item, but...
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/06/blind-item-3-1262.html
I've never needed proof that this was set up - or all the other pics are from paps they've called and worked with. The beach pics were laughably obvious, the others have been as well.
>>313 Savvy that comment was very interesting. It's why I keep coming back to wondering exactly how the breakup with her and Calvin went down, and the timeline.
>>342 I was talking about the RI beach pics but the UK ones are laughably obvious as well but probably from paps that sensed blood in the water rather than from 'her team.'
>>342 I know, I know. Who in their right mind would think a posh elderly English lady would meet her son's girlfriend of 5 minutes and immediately walk with her arms round both of them? But I have been getting very pissy at all the tumblr nutjobs screaming "they followed them off the plane at Stanstead! They even hounded them at their private family moments in a tiny seaside town!"
>>344 Doesn't matter if she called them, they knew they were there and willingly posed for these pics in circumstances where the money shot was totally avoidable. I think she did call them. It would be difficult to follow them by car on the route from Stanstead to Aldeburgh. It's an hour and a half on fast roads.
>>341 Well, if it's because of K. West, it's not working. If you search Tom's tag on twitter you get all the showmance but if you search TS tag you mostly get news about K. West's video.
>>341 Well, if it's because of K. West, it's not working. If you search Tom's tag on twitter you get all the showmance but if you search TS tag you mostly get news about K. West's video.
>>345 I understand, Anon. The Swifters are so convinced that she's being hounded with her one, true love. They have very limited memories.
>>350 and the Hiddlestoners. They are struggling to reconcile the latest, most monstrously thirsty pap stroll of all with the previous comments about some things are sacred, it's all about the Werk etc etc.
PS we have had rock and stroll. Can I name this one The Mama and the Papas?
I wonder if moma Hiddles knows about TayTay's reputation with men.
Om my! I shouldn't be so invested in this. I'm starting to feel like a crazy Hiddlestoner but this is so entertaining and I'm in bed with a broken leg and too much free time.
>>352 Oh no!!! Get well soon! 💐
What is happening to us? Pregnancy, major dentistry, broken leg. This board has more drama than TT's love life (and that really is saying something).
Thank you. :)
A 'source' for TH i.e. TS's PR, which means she's making him do her dirty work, has 'spoken out' about Kayne's video - it's classless:
http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/06/26/tom-hiddleston-kanye-west-classless-taylor-swift-famous/
Not that HL is a reliable source - I'm sure they make up stories and this one is just as suspect - it would be something TH would say in private but not make an explicit or veiled statement about to any press or 3rd party to pass to the press.
I found a link to the video last night, and it's ... weird. Naked wax figures in bed. Bizarre.
>>356 I think the real reason Swifty is annoyed is because the wax figure is less wooden than her.
>>357 snorts if the rumors about her sex drive are true. If not, I hope the two of them are having the best sex of their lives, and can't wait to get to the privacy of his home in London to have more, because that's the only good thing about all this PR fuckery.
>>358 I read so many rumours about that. The funniest one was on the bycycle that she doesn't like the noises, so Calvin had to get his rocks off in silence!
>>359 I saw that and had a laugh. Is that anything like $cientologists needing to give birth in silence? I'm surprised no one (as of my reading it a couple of days ago) countered with, if the pregnancy rumor is true, she's probably got the sex drive of an 18 year old boy. I know I did for the first half of my pregnancy.
Amazingly, I don't think we're going to get anything today. It seems even famewhores rest on the Lord's day. Could be that they are resting up (pap strolling is hard on the legs and dignity). Could be that they might actually start to behave like a normal couple now that she no longer needs to overshadow Kanye and Kim.
New pics with the rest of the family and children.
http://www.justjared.com/2016/06/26/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-hit-the-beach-again-in-the-uk/
>>361 Hahahahahaha!!! Or not. We didn't have a pic of Saturday's activities - except now we do. I bet we get church shots tomorrow.
Woah. Do I dare believe my eyes?? There are pics of them NOT holding hands??? Is that allowed?? And Tom isn't smiling?? Did Kanye tweet him or something?
And yup there's children. I hate it when she uses other people's kids. And Tom letting his niece be a part of this mess.
I've noticed they release pictures every 12 hours on the dot.
She looks bored. I think Tom and his family are enjoying this more than her.
And did you notice her jacket matching his?
I spoke too soon!
>>365 Wasn't she photographed with Gyllenhal's niece or something, Maggie's kid, one nanosecond into the relationship? This is all the same MO. Can't believe that the families always fall for it.
>>366 It's a Barbour jacket. And she has borrowed some green wellies from somewhere. In fairness the weather yesterday was absolutely atrocious. I had to go and buy a hoodie. I am not surprised she was unprepared, though the shameless style copying is also part of the MO.
TH says he goes there to decompress, and he is with his family, whom he adores. And he has his new girl. No wonder he looks happy. I am surprised she looks as bored as she does given that she is supposed to enjoy antiquing in New England or whatever. I haven't been to New England but I imagine the olde worlde charm to be similar. Maybe when she said this she meant her interior designer did it.
>>365 They release something every evening at around this time, I did notice that. Of the previous day's activities.
The infamous ring is now in another finger. It's still on the right hand but is gradually moving.
>>368 New England beach town culture (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Maine) is very similar. I spent summers there. Cool, jacket weather, though people do swim and sunbathe.
>>368 Yeah she does. It's honestly a low point for me and I don't get how families just let her use their kids for her pap walks.
In comparison to how hard they were selling it before, he seems more toned down now. It's a lot more normal looking now than the try hard efforts before. But to be quite honest, I'm surprised he's got his hands in his pockets most of the time and isn't glued to her hand like before lol
correction: "ON another finger"
I know that all relationships are different. I also know that people mature and change and tend not to make the same mistakes in relationships. But...here is a timeline of TS's relationship with Harry Styles. I got it from the Daily Mail but it jives with other timelines I've seen. Does anything sound familiar...or should I ask, does anything look different?
-October: Harry tells an interviewer '[Taylor]'s a really lovely girl. Honestly, she couldn't be a sweeter person. She's a great girl and she's extremely talented.'
Days later Taylor splits from former love Conor Kennedy
-November: When Taylor makes a guest appearance on the X Factor, Harry arrives to watch
-December: The pair go public on the 2nd, with a visit to the zoo in New York
-January 2013: The pair split after an almighty row while on vacation in the Caribbean. She left alone on a boat, he stayed to continue the vacation.
In between she met his mom, in America and in the UK I believe. He met her mother. And they were papped walking all over NYC, kissing on NYE in Times Square, walking around with the infant daughter of his make-up artist.
>>374 Spookily similar. I didn't know she dumped the Kennedy guy and jumped on Styles so soon after.
Here is a priceless DM article shading the Madonna-esque transformation into an English lady. Worth it for some priceless pics of her glowering at TH as she is being loaded into Mum's car. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3661145/Taylor-Swift-gets-English-country-makeover-wax-jacket-wellies-steps-Tom-Hiddlestone-Suffolk-stroll.html
By the way, Covehithe is a very remote village about an hour's drive from Aldeburgh. It is notable for having a ruined medieval church that is slipping into the sea. Very romantic and atmospheric. I'd have believed that old Tom would want to bring his GF there. If she didn't like it that may explain the grim expression. Or if the paps are now following them everywhere whether summoned or not, he may finally - finally! - have woken up to the fact that this is not ideal.
DM says this is today. So mummypapstroll on Friday, beach in stripey top on Saturday/out with ginger brother in law, beach again on Sunday. I take it back - we are being fed material every day on the day it happens. And no rest on the Lord's day either.
>>377 He looks actively grim in the DM photos, even more so than the JJ. Are we into phase 2 of the Swifty relationship timeline, aka the bit where the victim/hostage realises he has made a terrible mistake?
>>376 So that's her eye-daggers look, complete with a smirk. I'll look for it more often.
At least the DM blocked out the pics of the niece's face compared to JJ. She's a cute girl.
Covehithe is one of my husband's favourite places in the world. I showed him that pic of Swifty's face and he doesn't want to go antiquing with her in New Enhalnd anymore.
>>376 These are probably like the paps for the beach stroll yesterday - not hers, not called, but expected after the show they put on Friday (Thursday?).
Welcome to your life, Thomas. Called, uncalled - they are now a permanent fixture.
>>382 My husband is skulking round the holiday cottage, muttering disconsolately about the suffering of a fellow classicist who took a girl to a gothically beautiful ruined church and she didn't like it. All I can get out of him is "nice chap really" and "terrible mistake" and - God help us all - "intervention". I may be in the paparazzi pictures tomorrow, wringing my hands while my husband tries to lure him into the back of our car using a copy of Polybius.
>>383 Is he going to lure him into the back seat of the car by throwing Polybius in as incentive? Is that when the intervention starts? 1. Catullus or Horace must be preferable. 2. My mother used to do this with the family dog to get her to the vet (she ALWAYS knew we were going). Mother used bacon.
Do it, Anon. Plan an intervention. Maybe find sexy Classics major - use her as bait!
Anon, I love you (and your husband). Thank you for making me laugh.
>>385 My pleasure!
>>384 I think the idea is to chuck the Polybius onto the back seat and when the dog, I mean Hiddleston, clambers in to investigate, tail wagging, we slam the door and burn rubber all the way back to London. We may stop at the vet en route for a sedative. Then we liberate him back into our house and reintroduce him gradually to books and classical music. He can talk to my husband about classical things and geeky things (quoth my husband, and this is not a joke, "I just know he would have enjoyed our trip to the lighthouse today. She wouldn't, I can tell"). I can be simultaneously mothering and sexual, which they will both think is normal because, you know, classics. He will not be allowed to read the Daily Mail sidebar of shame.
I am starting to get into this idea!
>>386 "I can be simultaneously mothering and sexual, which they will both think is normal because, you know, classics." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! applause
In some of the pics on IG, you can see what looks to be a police cordon, or at least officers present. WTF?
Do we think they're making 'the beast with two backs' while staying with mummy? That could explain TH's sour I'm Not Getting Any face. My husband - I LOVE it - and I did our honeymoon right! And it was ridiculous because I could have been hit by a truck and would have popped back up smiling. We hadn't even had a proper bonkfest in the beginning of the relationship because of work and conflicting schedules.
It's now been three-ish days with mummy and family. That's a long time to go without having sex with Taylor Swift but having to still date Taylor Swift.
http://teacherous.tumblr.com/post/146522540717/taylor-and-tom-along-with-toms-family-walking
They brought along the videographer for this one! Shit.
>>390 Wow. Yep, this is getting pretty ridiculous now lol
http://tom-hiddleston.com/gallery/index.php?cat=67
I know a lot of us use Torrilla, but I've found this site a good alternative. They're about as quick and perhaps more accessible than weibo.
>>389 Unless Mum is progressive and doesn't mind them staying in the same room (i wouldn't put any money on that) I bet he's dying to get back to London and the privacy his place. Or her hotel room. Unless they're not doing it yet.
His niece...Poor Sarah, but I see she is having a laugh (did she divorce? She's back in England, no husband?) He has no right to look pissed at the paps presence, he brought the madness into his family life.
>>386 Go Anon, you and your husband have our blessing, clearly his family is in no condition.
>>389,390 Wouldn't that be even more reason to hold hands?
He's wearing his running shoes for a walk! Blasphemy!
>>374 At CB I saw a pic of TS alone on a boat leaving the Virgin Islands after th row
http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3855/1956/original.jpg
>>374 That's why we all said from the beginning the point here is not TS, she does what she always do, everyone knows, the reason why we find a recurrent pattern it's because it's always the same story. And since nothing happens spontaneously in her life, everything with TH from the beginning was carefully planned (it's also why I don't think TS is ever going to marry him)
The real problem here is TH, not only for his 180. Harry Styles was what a minor when he started with TS? I get his family going along or the Kennedy's boy (who apparently was the one who put a stop to TS madness when she bought a house near theirs), Jake Gyllenhaal was 29 so less understandable, but TH is 35!
They were holding hand at some point after all, the photo is indicative of the family's opinion

“The jet has 12 seats, which means she has plenty of room for her entourage when she tours—or, simply to scoop up her boy toy du jour. Page Six reported that Swift flew Kennedy on the jet from the Hyannis Port Kennedy family compound to her hometown of Nashville, simply because she “missed him” after not seeing him for merely a week. God forbid he have to take a commercial flight! We feel his pain.”
