Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>97 It's a shame his team isn't as onto it as you. This quote would have disjointed a lot of swifty noses and journalists who have misquoted and used it to prove their lame theories.
Here's the 'OMG Tay left her bedroom' article in the Fail
According to a comment on CB the Thor 3 cast plus SOs went to the cinema this evening (as it is now in Oz). Booked out the whole place and came in through the loading bay.

I call bs until I see a pic.
Chris drunk? With his kids around? When tomorrow is a workday? His kids up until late at night?
It's 00:51 now in Oz, even if the film started 2 hours ago that's very late for little kids.

Also Tom wasn't with her when she was shopping, so if she came straight to the theater from her shopping trip he'd have gone to the theater separately.
>>107 The Opinion Dominion is back? As well as her side blog todspeaks? Mad world. Is it really her, I wonder? Her side blog said she was not coming back.
TH got the Emmy nomination! Yay!

Yeah, I think those are sebaceous cysts. They seem to be ever present, but change size according to different reason - like my husband's. My husband asked about getting his drained or removed at the dermo but decided against it because they can come right back a few weeks following the procedure.
The old radio interview at the Oz radio that was supposed to air today was postponed to next week.
>>93 The constant hair and face touching with TS reminds me of Waity Katie. This girl must be so self-conscious and in need of constant approval. It's strange then that she so often thrusts herself into the limelight. I guess her need for attention and adoration is stronger than the self-consciousness.
To be nominated and have people say that TayTo is behind it,
To not be nominated and have people say that TayTo is behind it,
Such difficult times.
Anyway, now in all likelihood TayTo will stay together at least until Sept. so TS will be able to walk the red carpet with him.
I personally found his Pine to be woody and not his best work compared to what he did in the Hollow Crown, but whatever.

TNM also got its nomination. I don't get how can give the show a nominations and not give a nomination to Hugh Laurie and Coleman.
So the TayTo gravy train will run on for a while longer.
He won't win, surely. I would have thought Courtney Vance has it in the bag.
>>109 I'm glad he got a nom. TNM was good entertainment. But this year is probably going to be all The People v OJ. I recently watched it in a binge and it was excellent. I didn't think I'd like it, but it was so watchable and compelling. Vance must be the front runner for this category.
>>113 If they are still together come Sept., I wonder if it would KILL him to have her by his side on the red carpet. The attention and flashbulbs would be crazy but they wouldn't be for him or his nomination or THE WORK! They'd be for Tayto. Any press he did along the red carpet wouldn't be about TNM or his character, but about Tayto.
>>114 I don't even remember what I gave the cast during my by-the-numbers reviews, but I seem to recall they were mostly B to A-. The few exceptions being Coleman and Hollander. I thought HL was a bit hammy throughout - a little too moustache twirling for me.
He's got the nomination! You guys think he'll get papped with Taylor now? It'll overshadow his nomination for sure. Just like she'll overshadow him at the Emmys red carpet.
>>113 Couch, I agree that it wasn't his best - though I blamed it on the direction. I think Bier directed him to play Pine's emotions so close to the vest that Tom's normally expressive face didn't get much of a workout unless he was with Elizabeth Dubecki, or when he was crying at the death of the first girlfriend in Ep. 1. The rest of the time, his 'steely' Bond-esqe face was really steely at all.
>>115 I'll be surprised if Vance doesn't get it.
>>116 A battle of ego on the red carpet, that would make it worth watching.
I found nobody really stood out, they were good just not outstanding enough for an award (except for Hollander, but only until his character made sense)
TNM was entertaining but in a soap-opera way, with the aesthetic captivating enough to cover for the bad adaptation to modern times and the poor script. It never felt tensed the way a spy thriller is supposed to be (and I read the book too in preparation).
I guess my point is that since TH had as much screen time as Coleman and Laurie, if you nominate the show then I expect more than just one actor to be considered.
>>115 I think so too, but the power of TayTo knows no limit.
>>119 Could be, I tended to think it was his way to go back and forth between his real identity and himself. But Pine felt inconsistent, like a boy playing at being a spy. A NYT journalist did a review of each episodes, her review of the last one is hilarious. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/arts/television/the-night-manager-finale-recap.html
Anyway, someone decided it was worth a nomination, so be it, it compensates the lack of one for The Hollow Crown.
I think Coleman and Laurie have noms too in supporting actress/actor categories?
>>117 Jinx!
I am so glad you loved OJ. It is the only to series I have ever seen which made me think, that is exactly what it is like to be a trial lawyer. And Sterling K Brown, who played Chris Darden, was just wonderful as well (and the spitting image of CD!). I have to say it made TNM look clunky and not like much of a thriller, especially bearing in mind we all know what happened to OJ.
>>123 Oh, yes you are right!
>>123 Twelve nominations for the show:
http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/147401104484/12-emmy-nominations-for-the-night-manager#notes
Theoanons has now deleted all her posts. The tumblr dramas in this fandom are scary. I know she said she would shut up shop again if opinion dominion got going, but why not just delete the whole thing? It makes no sense.
I am really not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Josh Horowitz caught up with TH and the subject of TS came up....
com/joshuahorowitz/status/753642701590069248
>>128 Sleepy? What time would it have been over there if he posted this an hour ago? I would expect that he's going to make the relationship official by saying that they are dating which is obvious (I guess) but still needs to come from the horse's mouth. Perhaps he'll talk about all the accusations that it's fake but that would surprise me.
Or he might just do the good old TH thing and say, 'I'm just going to keep my private life private.'
I wonder what this is in aid of. Kong? His Emmy nom? Maybe to make it official with a friendly face rather than an unknown Aussie reporter.
>>127 Theoanons is now gone. I think she said in her first return post that she was only sticking around until another blog popped up for anons and messages. She was probably happy to see the Opinion blog resurface as she seemed over all the shit.
Fawning Variety interview:
http://variety.com/2016/tv/awards/tom-hiddleston-night-manager-emmy-noms-1201814443/
>>129 It would be 10 hours ahead of GMT so 4.30am when JH posted. Possibly somewhat earlier when they spoke, as Variety said it spoke to him at 3.30am. But the middle of the night.
I am assuming he will say "yes, we're going out with each other and I'm very happy." And then give that nervous and now Emmy-nominated laugh/cough. I agree he's unlikely to say more. Why give traction to rumours by denying them? Then JH will ask him if they are going to do a duet and he will again go eheh and that will be the end.
However, a major first for him to actually say the words, "I am going out with..." There's a certain kind of man that is too phobic to admit that. I can't decide if he was that guy, still is that guy but has been forced into it by TS, or if he was just into pretending he was single for the image till he got a GF that he thought worth revealing for PR.
>>130 so they went to the cinema after all.
A straight confirmation would be nice, so we can make better fun of him pretending not to be interested in the circus of being a celebrity. Too bad he wasn't asked about Harris.
>>129 As to why: in the clusterfuck that is Tom's publicity, who knows exactly. It seems likely JH has a direct line to his people and could get an i'vue at short notice off the back of the nomination.
My own theory is that he knows he will be asked about TayTo, and soon, because of the Emmy nom, the filming and ComicCon, so he needs to get it over with quickly, like a trip to the dental hygienist. I think he hopes that it will be buried under the good news of the nomination - "a good day to bury bad news".
As to that: good luck! Recent events suggest that if you feed the beast, even with crumbs, it just gets hungrier.
>>130 So he's already doing press for TNM. That didn't take long...and didn't give a nod to time zones/sleeping patterns.
It will be interesting to see how the Tayto show behaves now that he's got to promote TNM for an Emmy and Kong. More, less, the same? Impact, no impact?
>>131 He always called Susannah his 'girlfriend' in interviews. But then his career sort of became his girlfriend and while there was the blessed one and EO, for some reason no one else got that oh so special designation ever again - at least not in public. So it will be interesting to see how he phrases the 'making it official' comment.
I am laughing at this one: the daily run is because no nookie!
http://zerofucksclub.tumblr.com/post/147405357971/what-im-getting-from-toms-demeanor-in-recent
"We are together and we are very happy"
http://www.mtv.com/news/2905099/tom-hiddleston-emmy-nomination-the-night-manager/
>>136 If he has a gf, the stans seek solace in "well maybe they're not having sex yet" And when he was "maybe could be kinda dating" the great JArthy and then Lizzie, it was "oh well sure he's fucking them but he doesn't love them"
Some shred of hope to hold onto that maybe this one is lacking somehow in perfect gf potential for TH.
>>131 The timing of the interview shows that it's impromptu. Is he doing it for his Emmy nom or is he doing it because Taylor wants positive press after yday's international roast and wants Tom to give her some lip service to show how happy he is with Taylor and his Emmy nom but mostly Taylor because he's just so happy right now because Taylor because she's so charming and talented and wonderful and he's just so happy with her. Because it's one thing if she casually came up during the interview and wasn't advertised as one of points discussed. The fact that it's been made part of the headline in the tweet means it's a significant mention and needed to be called attention to. That's why I'm inclined to believe ulterior motive and not innocent oh hey let's celebrate Tom and his first Emmy. Confirming of relationship, talking it up, and dragging this til Emmy red carpet.
>>138 Yep. Let's gear up for more pap strolls and Emmy red carpet!
Another from the managing editor at E! News
https://twitter
.com/marcmalkin/status/753618699580432384
Funny how it takes him getting the Emmy nom to confirm. And right after the Calvin stuff too. The timing is exquisite.
>>138 Yes! Yesssss!
I should win some kind of a prize.
My prediction: "Yes we're going out with each other and I'm very happy"
His words: "We are together and we are very happy."
Years of observation of the Hiddlemonster in the wild have paid off.
>>138 Yes! Yesssss!
I should win some kind of a prize.
My prediction: "Yes we're going out with each other and I'm very happy"
His words: "We are together and we are very happy."
Years of observation of the Hiddlemonster in the wild have paid off.
And have the prize immediately taken away for posting twice.
>>143 Can we compare to calvin's tweet?
"I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on <snip>”
>>142 Too much, when you think until 2 days ago he'd rather talk about the werk.
Am I the only one that finds those words so generic and open to fan interpretation? Don't get me wrong, I've always said the relationship is real (I've had my doubts because of the crazy roll out and stunts but I still believe they are bf and gf.) But come on! This quote isn't going to stop the doubters or the showmance claims.
>>149 Yep. That is precisely how I guessed so accurately what he would say. What do you say to your nosey co-worker to shut down the conversation? He can't say to Josh of all people that he won't comment, as that would make him look a prize moron (and anyway he set this up to get the news out, let's face it).
He has to say they are an item and he has to say something about how great that is, or he will get headlines like "Tom Hiddleston confirms relationship, sounds as enthusiastic as burn victim." But he also has to say nothing becaus, you know, his privacy. So he says they are happy. Which says nothing, because if you aren't happy 1 month into a relationship, then wtf?
>>139 I don't think it was completely impromptu. I'd say that they maybe had them lined up for if the Emmy nod happened. The timing is about getting interviews and quotes out as quickly as possible after the announcement.
I think he could have also given her a bigger hand if he wanted to take some heat off of her and the Taylor Swift if Over party. While 'we're together and very happy' is an acknowledgement of the relationship and its current status, it isn't the greatest declaration of love I've ever heard. But then it would be a good thing is Tay said to him, you take the spotlight, you don't need to defend me. I'd give her props for that.
When it rains... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8moGfBJuuJM
The Kardashians are coming for you Tay!! It's like an epic fight between a crazy attention whore and another set of crazy attention whores.
>>152 Maybe he could've had it set up already in preparation for the Emmy nom but making Taylor part of the headline alongside his work? That seemed forced. Like one tumblr commented on The Opinion Dominion "it sounds like he was strong armed into giving lip service to something we already knew" Especially since it comes after Calvin calling them out. Not to mention if you look at Calvin questioning the happiness of the new couple in light of the awkward mess with the media questioning him about Taylor.
The timing just couldn't be more messy for all of this.
>>153 am I the only one who finds this Waaay more credible after this stuff with Calvin over that song came out?

Tom Hiddleston on Relationship With Taylor Swift: "It's Not a Publicity Stunt"
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-hiddleston-relationship-taylor-swift-911185
>>156 LOL so all those organised papstroll with his mother just happened.
>>156 "look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking. That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt."
Lol did he just call his gf by her full name? Who does that?
>>150 yeah, the bad reactions to his his impromptu press conference outside the hotel must have taught him that he can't make it about just the werk anymore. I can't wait for SDCC.
>>158 Someone who is trying to convince the world this is not PR?
Am I the only one who is actually side-eying this more now?
>>158 Has the Hollywood a Reporter heard the full tape, though? It seems slightly unlikely MTV would share their scoop with HL. HL could have made up the "not a publicity stunt" part to get clicks today. Nobody will care about an article tomorrow saying "watch the interview, he didn't quite say that."
Also, remember that interview a few months ago,which turned out to be a group effort, and all of the reporters transcribed it slightly differently? That could explain the "Taylor Swift" bit even if HL did get the podcast.
>>163 Scratch that - kind of.
HR says it was talking to him. But he said almost exactly the same words to JH. Was this another group interview or has he had these answers written on a card and he says the exact same sentence to each reporter? In which case SIDE EYE
>>162 LOL exactly. I think I've been making that face since the pap stroll with his mother.
Oh, and this was weird too.
THR: Do you know who you're going to take with you to the Emmys?
Tom: I don't. I didn't even know I could. It's 4 in the morning here! (Laughs.)
THR: You're in the middle of a cultural frenzy right now dating Taylor Swift...
(Tom, internally: Oh shit! That's right, I'm dating Taylor Swift! Forgot about her. I should have said I was taking her to the Emmy's. God, I've gotta stop doing these 4am interviews, I can't even keep my story straight. Shit. Shit. I fucked up. I'd better fix this, or Miss Swift won't allow me out for my morning run! What's my script say? Ah yes, "we're together and very happy." Very happy, mustn't forget that, Thomas.)
Full interview with HR here:
He must be tired because he said this: "Q: Do you know who you're going to take with you to the Emmys? A: I don't. I didn't even know I could. It's 4 in the morning here! (Laughs.)"
Taylor will be sticking pins in the gonads of the TH doll for days! Or possibly his actual gonads.
>>166 Sorry link is here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-hiddleston-talks-emmy-nomination-911178
>>165 Jinx!!!
>>164 I'm going with Conference call with TS and LW listening in.
Yesterday (Wednesday) I was home early and watched Entertainment Tonight - U.S., and they showed a promo of their upcoming coverage of SDCC. They mentioned key celebs and upcoming movies, and specifically mentioned 'Hiddleswift' while showing pictures of both TH & TS, implying they'd both be there without an actual confirmation directly from either one that they will.
If you were a fan of Skull Island or Thor 3 would you care about seeing their significant others at a con, especially if they have nothing to do with any of it?
So, is there any chance that she has something to do with any of the music for anything that might have any relevance to either movie?
>>164 Anon...maybe: http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/chloe.gif
Anyone else want in?
>>170 Yeah, quite.
Also throwing this thought out there: are we expecting HR to interview other worthy nominees today? I think I know the answer to that. How can he not see that the only - the ONLY - reason he is being interviewed about this nomination is because of his relationship with TS and every news outlet scrambling to get the first quote about TayTo.
"Dating Taylor Swift: a nightmare dressed like a daydream?"
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/14/taylor-swift-dating-boyfriends-calvin-harris
This is as scripted as the ISTL interviews were, only after 20 minutes not 20 days:
To EW: "It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my short life as an actor" (Pine, not shagging TS).
To MTV: “It was a huge undertaking and an enormous labor of love and one of the proudest achievements of my short life and career.”
PS is he now saying "my short life and career" because of all those articles saying, this is his last chance before his hair falls out and he is over the hill?
"Of course by now you know that pop star Taylor Swift has been dating seventh-billed Marvel star Tom Hiddleston."
BURN.
"She is watching!"
This is all going so well.
>>171 The need for attention can be so overwhelming that when a person gets it, they either don't care how it comes about or don't see the source.
Luke probs called him and said 'people want to talk about your Emmy nom' and then said under his breath, 'and TS and your relationship.' TH probably didn't hear anything after 'Emmy nom' until TS, LW and her people were putting sound bites into his head.
>>176 I do hope somebody writes an Emmys so White article about how Idris, Cuba and Courtney got nominated and they only interviewed the whitest white guy there.
Glorious DM comments: http://theopdo.tumblr.com/post/147413016909
Among them: "if you have to confirm it's not a publicity stunt, then it probably is" and "you don't need her full name in your answer because she's your girlfriend, remember"
Comment in the Buzz:
'In 2018 this will either be
A) hilarious
B) overshadowed by their ginormous wedding and impending birth of quadruplets
C) overshadowed by B but also their divorce
D) we were all in the shower and it was just a dream'
Michael K:
'Also, Tom Hiddleston was nominated for The Night Manager, so if he and Taylor Swift haven’t married, had a baby and divorced by September, make sure you eat a light lunch on Emmy day. You’ll be heaving a lot when he drops to his knee on the red carpet and proposes to her as she gently caresses her pillow baby.'
>>181 Ouch. Hopefully he'll do it in private at one of her houses and all we'll get is a pic of her ring on her IG. Spare the press
A girl can hope , can't she?
In other news. after the radio interview from Thursday morning was postponed until next week, and then the Emmy announcements led to public statements about the relationship, another radio interview with he and his castmate showed up. At 4:00 Chris helps him dodge the TS question:

ONTD commenter:
'I actually know people who work for her and they say she cheated.
It's not much but they do say she's a pretty horrible person to work for.
It could be real, it could be PR, but either way it's nagl for anyone involved.'
grain of salt

"I love that they're both happy and free together," the supermodel said at a Pepsi event celebrating World Emoji Day. "It's amazing, I'm all about people being happy in love."
#HAPPY #SOHAPPY
I feel so dirty for laughing so hard.
Having worked with Jess I can safely say 'what a bitch'. Jess is genuinely lovely and kind hearted with a great sense of humor. She has excellent taste though so I'm not surprised she dissed the Tay Tay.
>>165 anonsy I'm side eyeing this even more with you.
He doesn't know, LMAO! Is the breakup already planned?
>>168 She is going with him to SDCC, she is never going to let him out of her sight, are you kidding? The guy doesn't even go running without one of her bodyguards, imagine if he'll be allowed to go to a ComiCon with so many other attractive actresses he is friend with.
>>171 It's shameful that he was the only one contacted since the other were in better time zone to be talked to.
>>173 "my short life and career" yeah, he probably knows he burned his chances to anything else significant for a while.
>>182 when you are SO HAPPY that you need your pal to help avoid the only question anyone is interested into.
>>188 WOW! That's scary, and childish since the comment it's not offensive, just accurate.
I love that the media reacted the way we did, with even more scepticism. This is the Guardian's 5th article shading this.
I’ve been asking: “Is their relationship real or is it fake?” But these concepts do not apply here. It seems that much of what Taylor does is a game taking place in real life, or real life taking place in the form of a game. Perhaps, since everything is possible for her, everything is boring except bending reality just to see if it breaks, and employing human beings as actors, and actors as human beings.
That is: Hiddleswift is not a “video shoot”, as the BuzzFeed piece speculates. It is, rather, a showcase for Taylor’s patented brand of live action role playing that bleeds into “reality.”
>>188 why didn't we celebrate Emoji Day here on the board? 💕 to all of you, 💩 to TH calling his girlfriend "Taylor Swift."
>>192 I don't think Taylor knows when to give up. Its going to get even more cringeworthy and embarrassing to watch as this goes on.
After watching Taylor screw people over through the years with her power and ego trips, it's actually very satisfying watching her get roasted and dragged. Its all catching up to her. And Tom gets to be along for the ride.
>>192 I completely agree with this article. We're all chess pieces in the game. TH chose to participate and picked the wrong year because everyone is lashing out at TS for her past behaviour. On Sunday night, sadly, even Kim Kardashian might include the audio of TS acknowledging that she knew about Kanye's song in advance, and lied at the grammys!
Will they split at all? Any guesses? Late August, early Sept, early Oct after the Emmys? Would love a hypothesis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBGHaTU578U
Here's a psychic reading which seems as totally legit as the totally legit quotes direct from the source 💩
Imagine if JArthy or EO are about to drag his arse... please, pretty please DO IT
Morning all,
Do we have any French friends here? Thinking of you if so, after seeing the horrendous news this morning. Following Istanbul and Dhaka in the last few weeks, it seems like it will never stop.
On to more light hearted distractions - I think the interviews are awkward but genuine and I'm not reading too much into it. However, if she rocks up with him, limpet like, at ComicCon, then I will be convinced she is either preggers or that they are definitely getting married - and soon.
I think the Guardian article is right, she lives in an as much of an augmented reality as Pokemon Go! Tom is her Pikachu.
>>197 That was crazy and fascinating (she really starts on them at 8:00).
I don't think faithful Our Blessed JA is the one. I think she'll be forever silent for him and maybe he'll come back to her in the end.
EO already threw minor shade at him during the press tour for the Civil War movie back in the spring. She and Anthony Mackie were on one of the nighttime talk shows in the US; some hint of Tom was given for some reason and they both said "no we can't talk about him, we can't say his name." I'll look for the info tomorrow.
Or did someone track down one of his alleged many FWBs and dig up something juicy?
Maybe the gossip is someone with proof that he is having a fling with someone behind TS's back.
So if this psychic's readings were ballpark accurate all claims that they're both taking something out of this relationship - roles and music for Bond, plus a rebound relationship to upgrade from Calvin plus the sex - then predictions being made here are correct, down to saying how he's using her as a sugarmomma to gain fame.
