Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
<<674 fuck off. He's not "fame hungry" anymore than any other actor.
Now TNM costars Hugh Laurie and Alistair Petrie want to help write the script for TNM2?! WTF? Petrie says that Le Carre has to sign off on any script for the BBC to continue it. What is happening to the script that the BBC hired a writer to craft? Or do Hugh and Alistair just want attention in order to give the series a PR boost in the papers? Hmmm...

Lots of pictures on torrilla of TH at the London event for IW today.
The beard was trimmed, and maybe also the hair: http://tw.weibo.com/torilla/4226724960678990
EO looks like she'd like to pet the beard: http://tw.weibo.com/torilla/4226726454604499
I haven't explored them all, but he looked reasonably subdued.
>>681 I was just about to post but you beat me to it. New clothes! And importantly, new boots which look more durable than the suede ones. I thought he had trimmed the beard. He looks nice.
Just been looking at the Torrilla pics in more detail and I have the following additional thoughts:
1) EO’s leather dress is excellent.
2) The beard on closer inspection requires further trimming - it still looks like pubes on his cheeks. Why he doesn’t shave it neatly I do not know.
3) The suit is apparently Ralph Lauren. Everything RL does is blue and white stripe, I think. I have a bed headboard upholstered in a not dissimilar fabric!
>>683 Agree about the side beard, but I was so pleased that he trimmed most of it and the hair that I let that slide!
I don't generally like brown footwear with blue suits, but those are nice boots.
Tom looked good. His personality was off. He seems to be going for the aloof demeanor now. Lol he's always one extreme or the other, dancing bear or angry stoic. Though he had a good medium at the Early Man premiere.
Olsen's dress made me cringe. Just the shoulders part though. But her makeup and hair looks great. She definitely takes good care of her skin. Is it just me or did it seem like Elizabeth was acting more like how Tom used to at premieres? Her overall behavior was very early Marvel Tom.
>>685 From skimming Tumblr, it seems that he showed up very late, did maybe a couple of quick interviews on the press line, did nothing with fans, and blew off the rest of the press line like this: https://twitterDOTcom/SteveHargrave/status/983054895984070657one
But there are pix from inside in which he’s smiling (haven’t found a direct link yet).
>>686 Tumblr and I seem to have been wrong - he seems to have been at some StarlightUK event for sick kids - see the reply to this tweet — https://mobile.twitterDOTcom/EntNewsShowbiz/status/983059378021588993
>>686 And here’s a link to some of the smiling pics: https://mobile.twitterDOTcom/amestris_star/status/983085309058539521
There's a video of Tom's speech onstage at the IW viewing event. So Tom has moved from wearing free brown leather Ariat cowboy boots post Thor 1, to free grey suede Aquatalia boots, then to wearing free grey suede Kurt Geiger boots post Hamlet @ RADA, and now to wearing brown leather Alexander Mcqueen boots post IW?! Lucky guy!
Apparently, Tom met with children before the IW event, the same as he did immediately before the Thor 3 premiere, where he also skipped over the red carpet journalists and he was late to that event, as well. This scheduling and his muted personality seems to be his new strategy for avoiding negative press. Hmm...methinks we need new projects, not avoidance.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BhVLX_rl3de/?taken-by=tomhiddleston_daily
https://www.instagram.com/p/BhVLh_PlE5B/?taken-by=tomhiddleston_daily
Him blowing off the press line is very funny. Aloof with the press but laughing with other actors/fans.
I forgive the EO shoulders because the high crossover and her legs look great. Good shoes too.
He has filled out in the face - no longer has the razor cheekbones he had during TNM promo, more like how he was when filming CP. I always thought it took him a long, long time to regain the weight he lost for ISTL. When he did Coriolanus he had a little bit of a tummy - you can see it in the gifs: https://pravdoruboklon.diary.ru/p199247597.htm?from=540. That vanished completely and stayed away at least until he did the W mag shoot. I personally think he looks better with a tad more weight on him.
Tom has a brand new navy polo coat. It has a cool collar. He's seen here on twitter, posing with a fan.
Via Twitter @Mister_Floow
>>692 Sosorry. Tom is wearing the Hamlet polo coat. Here is a video of TH greeting fans at Incheon International Airport in South Korea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZijzaVJEdEw
>>693 He looked good and pretty cheerful, considering he was just off a long flight. And with arms that long, who needs selfie sticks!
Torilla pics of Tom smiling onstage at the South Korea fan event, wearing a tight light grey suit! He looks happy. Has Tom bulked up at the gym, or is he going for that offbeat 1960s Beatles' style of wearing a suit in an incredibly fitted way? Confused. A man has to be quite petite to pull that look off.
http://tw.weibo.com/torilla/4227921655206231
>>695 The fit is off - more than usual for a slim cut suit I feel. No word from yours Truly on her Instagram, so maybe it fits less well because she hasn’t had them tailor it. The look is not miles away from his pre CP Comic Con look - the grey jeans and grey jacket. Maybe he picked it himself!
>>695, >>696 The jacket of that grey suit almost looks a size too small for him - it buttons way above the waistband. And the pants just didn't sit right; in some pix it looks as though the fabric was stiff. Now,the bright navy suit with waistcoat he had in later pictures worked very well, I thought.
He really does look healthy and well rested, in contrast to KSI and TR promo especially, but even to EM. I think it helps that he's letting himself relax and smile.
Also, finally letting a stylist at his hair and beard has improved his appearance greatly!
Of course celebitchy had to like the Taffy GQ article. At least they think he looks handsome, and they're incredibly happy to seem him up front and visible on this tour, unlike the Thor 3 promotion.

Link to all the videos and interviews from Korea - https://tumblr.tomhiddlestonnews.com/post/172991140301/all-interviews-videos-with-tomhiddleston-during
>>704 That's helpful - thanks! Any particularly worth watching?
Switching up the uniform for a shirt, likely one from TNM: https://youtu.be/PZWlGd-9aqk
Torilla pics of Hiddleston strolling among his fans in Shanghai, promoting IW. Luke is there, too. He's wearing the uniform w the Hamlet boot and his torn Nike run cap. I guess their plan is to show how popular Tom is with his fan base and avoid all spontaneous press interviews. TS is releasing the Getaway Car song about the fauxmance to coordinate w the release of IW.
http://tw.weibo.com/5047305900/4230207000318208
http://tw.weibo.com/1070541110/4230204912698071
>>706 That running cap isn't just torn - the brim looks chewed! Maybe the plan is to keep the focus on what he's wearing so people discuss that rather than anything else? (He wore that misfire of the ill-fitting greige suit again in Shanghai. Oy.)
In the second set (for those who haven't clicked through yet), he's so focused on the fans that he almost gets caught by the revolving door behind him. But his fan focus isn't "extra" the way it used to be most times.
There's what I think is a rather sweet vid of him surprising some Loki cosplayers at the London fan event: https://www.facebook.com/marveluk/videos/1495992563861015/. He's goofy behind the set, but very focused on the cosplayers while on stage with them rather than trying to pull focus to himself. Celebitchy has a reaction (not too snarky in the article - the comments are another matter): http://www.celebitchy.com/574191/tom_hiddleston_ambushed_loki_cosplayers_the_response_was_muted/
Tom talks about Shakespeare for quite a while during an interview for IW in China, starting at minute 6:22. Tom says that he has no plans to go back soon, btw.
>>708 Tom has no plans to go back to the theatre, at this time.
Article in which Benedict Cumberbatch calls Tom, Hiddlebum, and he talks about visiting Tom's house recently and seeing a Loki lunchbox in his kitchen.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/benedict-cumberbatch-privilege-marvel-muscles-martin-freemans/
>>710 Quite a fun interview - I liked the shade he cast at the ghastly Martin Freeman, who is a right miseryguts and moaned.

Oh dear. Apparently, none of the IW cast members was such an SOB to an interviewer this weekend at the Marvel press junket, that the studio officially apologized and pulled the "the cards" (the tapes)of the interview, to endure that there wouldn't be a record. B/c Tom is one of the more well known faces in Avengers, celebitchy used his face in the header to the article, although they say in the article that it could not have been Tom, since he is so unfailingly polite to journalists as a matter of practice. The guessing game to name the rude Avenger, is on!
>>713 It's Anthony Mackie. Tom is too much of a suck up, he wants everyone to love him.
At around 2:25 in this vid, the interviewer asks Tom if he can do an impression of one of his cast-mates. Tom demurs, saying "That's all in the rear-view mirror; I'm not allowed to do that anymore." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2i_SLAQPpU
Which may explain why Luke has been hovering throughout this press tour.
In other news, for those of us in the US, Tom will be on Jimmy Kimmel with some more of the cast tomorrow night (Tues.)
Article about TH and Loki - warning of major spoilers: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/love-loki-tom-hiddleston-saved-marvel-dull-predictable-villains/
Also a link to a podcast with Variety. I haven’t listened yet but apparently there is a lot about Hamlet in there. http://variety.com/2018/film/features/tom-hiddleston-avengers-infinity-war-loki-hamlet-1202783878/
>>717 I haven’t listened yet either, but there’s a photo from it of him reading from the dictionary (to test the effect of his voice). She evidently didn’t ask about future projects, though.
>>716 Very good article - but warning that the IW spoilers start early in it. To see it ff one doesn't want to mess with the Telegraph's paywall, it's posted here: http://insanely-smart.tumblr.com/post/173361835033/for-the-love-of-loki-how-tom-hiddleston-saved
Raises some good questions about his career....
captcha: wow
Apparently, Maninhat productions is going to film James Ivory's Richard II w Tom, in 3D? Shakespeare meets Avatar? WTF?!
Is this new? Maninhat had this on its website as “news” in 2012(!) and also, see this: http://www.4ye.co.uk/2018/04/will-james-ivorys-3d-richard-ii-finally-take-off/
See this list: http://www.maninhat.com/news.htm
>>720 My antivirus antimalware filter blocked that site. hum...
>>720 I have to agree with Anon and the article in >>721 - it doesn't really sound any closer to being made than it has for years. And Ivory's new desire for 3D probably isn't helping. That would make the production much more expensive, would require movie chains to give up 3D showings of more profitable movies, and might even keep it out of the art houses. I doubt it could bring in enough non-Shakespeare/Hiddelston fans to compensate. He should consider staging it for NTL broadcast instead.
An article about a prominent UK casting director that I found interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/apr/26/game-of-thrones-the-crown-nina-gold-casting-director . It doesn't mention Tom (though I could see him being the 'eminent actor at a dinner..., whose opening line to [her] was: “Why never me?” '). What do you think of her theory that "acting outside your natural class is unbelievably hard, as the actor isn’t in automatic possession of the array of tics and expressions that betray background. And while you can act up a class, you can’t, or at least shouldn’t ever, act down"? It could help explain why Tom has been limited to certain role. She is casting a remake of Shogun,though, and if she's looking for a Richard Chamberlain type, we know someone who's likely available....
No spoilers; this article includes another “what will happen to his career besides Loki?” section: http://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/before-and-after-marvel-how-has-being-in-the-mcu-affected-the-careers-of-its-actors.php

>>726 My apologies for the late response (darn life getting in the way). Searches just now only brought up the articles about it from 2016, and the script seems to have been around since 2009 at least. But one of the cos. involved still has it listed on their website as in development: http://whitehorsepics.com/films-in-development/
Tom spotted on Twitter, walking in the park w his puppy, Bobby, while wearing shorts and mismatched socks for some reason. He heard some fans talking about IW and just jumped into their conversation.

>>728 Hi all! Sorry I haven’t been around - pleasures of work.
Mismatched socks photos now on Torrilla! Bobby looks very glossy and well. If these were indeed taken last Saturday, it was a very warm day in London (Royal wedding day!!) and I am mystified why Tom would go out with a puffa jacket. He must really feel the cold!
>>731 https://m.weibo.cn/status/4242955432472437
Tortilla pics. Is Tom wearing new black Nike sneakers finally? How did he, as a serious distance runner, wear older sneakers for so long? Not great for ankle support. Are those new shades? Tom seems to wear his dress socks or whatever long socks he finds in his collection instead to run, instead of athletic socks. I don't quite get this...Are those new shades? Bobby is so big! Good to see him out, though!
>>731, >>732 We’re back - hooray! Supposedly the mismatched socks are an Eton thing: http://youareadistraction.tumblr.com/post/174191958902. Wonder if Tom thought to wear them after that book was published last month?
Apparently Tom visited a children's hospital in London. What a worthwhile way to spend time, and it's wise of him not to build the visit into a big self-focused PR push for himself, with pics.

Apparently Charles Cumming, spy fiction author, has been hired to help screenwriter Matthew Orton write TNM 2 teleplay. Not a fan of sequels, generally. I guess the BBC really wants this to happen.

>>744 If this is the next project for TH they better get writing!
On a sort of related note, I saw that Nina Gold, about whom Heynon posted that long read article, was the casting director for Patrick Melrose, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Since he and TH are friends, I really did start to wonder if Heynon was right when she joked that “why is it never me?” anecdote being him!! I could just see them sitting down to dinner chez Cumby in Tufnell Park and him buttonholing her.....
>>744, >>745 Not sure if it's good news or bad that they hired a second writer. Otherwise the good (for TH's employment, at any rate) news is that the project is still alive; the bad is that it won't be happening any time soon.
>>745 In reading a sample from the English Public School book I referenced in >>735, the author writes "It has been said of Eton that it encourages aspirations, with every stone imbued with the motto 'Why not me?'" I could see Tom earnestly asking that question of a major casting director. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/English-Public-School-Irreverent-Personal/dp/178606877X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1527951956&sr=1-1&keywords=the+english+public+school+martin+stephen#reader_B07C5DH8YL)

A compilation of Tom pictures from a BAFTA event today: at hiddlesfashion on b l o g s p o t /2018/06/bafta-summer-party-2018.html. Apparently he's now an ambassador for a new initiative for them; another good step in rebuilding his cred.

Reminds me how passionately I dislike the beard. I feel it somehow makes him look scruffy even when wearing a suit. Also his hair has now achieved Beaker-like proportions.
>>750 "Beaker-like proportions" - bwahahahaha! That's perfect!
The beard has grown on me, but it's so much better when he's let a stylist trim it. No stylist was involved with BAFTA - one of today's pictures was shot from behind, and his suit jacket is creased and even crumpled at the bottom.
Tom looks great. He has a beaming smile while shaking hands w his fellow Eton alum, Prince William. I feel as if Tom has channeled his War Horse-era look. Glad to see Tom getting his groove back. If Stella could do it, so can he.

MSN UK posted a recap video of Tom's career for no apparent reason: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/video/other/in-depth-tom-hiddleston/vi-AAyNlw7
The crazy clever one thinks this may be a soft reboot, and for once, I'm inclined to agree. Especially as it closely follows the 2-year anniversary of Snogging on the Rocks, which passed without any fanfare as far as I saw.
I think there is a real possibility it is exactly that, especially combined with the appearances of the last month or so - hospital visit in the UK, BAFTA for kids etc. I am not saying he was a bad or thoughtless guy, but he never did that kind of thing much in recent years, partly I am sure through lack of time. I am slightly setting aside the hospital visit while filming Ragnarok - first, everyone does that visit on the Gold Coast apparently, second TS did it so he kind of had to, and third, the PR nightmare that was Tayto was developing by then.
(Early on, he did it more. For example I think he did some drama day for kids with Cumby when he was wearing an orange puffa jacket.)
I read a very interesting article about a fixer in the Times yesterday - “Are you a Hollywood titan whose reputation is in tatters? Better call Sitrick”. Sadly behind the paywall but all about someone who exists purely to make bad publicity better. I did think about TH a bit when I read it!!
Mr Boundaries:
“I said that the Brazilian fans love him and wish someday he will go to the Brazilian Con. And then I asked what they wanted me to ask: “They wish you could come back to social media. Maybe post pictures of your dog…” And he said, looking into my eyes, “You see my dog is part of my personal life and I don’t post personal stuff anymore. Because social media has this thing where you say something and people twist.”
>755 He has learned. This also might explained why (according to tumbler) about 600 tweets recently were deleted from his account.
Tom was seen relaxinat an oyster bar in Seattle, after posing w fans at Ace Comic Con.

While it’s always nice to see him, I hope he’ll have more on his plate soon than handing out awards to other industry members.
New Dailymail article from one of the four TNM 2 writers, British spy author, Charles Cumming. It's happening. Not sure how I feel about this. Link below.
"Le Carré didn’t write a sequel to The Night Manager which, in the past, would have been a problem. ‘Le Carré has never allowed one of his stories to have a [film or TV] sequel that is not based on a novel,’ says Cumming. ‘So our job is to write a season that’s going to be even better than the first one, but also stay faithful to the tone of the world that was created by le Carré and to the characters.’We know Tom Hollander’s Corky, killed by Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), won’t be coming back. Hugh Laurie’s Roper was last seen in the company of some very disappointed arms buyers, but you’d have backed him to talk his way out of it. Olivia Coleman’s Angela Burr will have finished breast-feeding by now, and Pine and Elizabeth Debicki’s Jed have a romance to finish.‘All I am permitted to say is that le Carré has given his blessing to the project,’ Cumming says. ‘The four of us in the writers’ room are sworn to silence. Some characters that the audience know and love will be returning, other will not. The locations will be sumptuous, the plot as thrilling and as thematically complex as a le Carré story should be. We are all aware that the bar has been set very high in terms of audience expectations. The challenge facing us is to meet those expectations, hopefully even to surpass them.’
>>759 yes indeedy. Awful Cumberbatch hat BTW. He's indoors for god's sake.
>>760 I share your doubts. "The locations will be sumptuous"...which kind of concerns me. Having watched TNM for a second time I thought it was a triumph of style over substance - loads of money spent on it but with some really duff plotting and dialogue in places (not throughout). I am assuming that TH will be one of the loved characters that does come back. I can't imagine they'd proceed without him as in fairness he was one of the main reasons the series was a success.
Will the much loved bare backside (pretty much a character in itself) also be returning?!!!
>>761 I mentally referred to all the scenes in Roper's compound on Majorca as "Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous!" For the next go round, it would make no sense to do TNM2 without the Night Manager himself.
Personally, if this ever happens, I rather hope they do without the Hiddlesbum. Although he talks good game about only getting naked when it serves The Work, it seemed gratuitous to me in TNM. Were Pine's shirt and jacket so short that they wouldn't cover his backside in real life?
Also, I came across this recently that calls out that scene as appearing to have been "poorly handled," given the current climate in the industry: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/good-sex-scenes-when-actors-play-it-safe-1.3525725
>>762 That is a really interesting article.
When TNM first came out I recall us discussing how uncomfortable the sex scene looked, and Anon. (where did she go? We miss her!) saying that he looked unsure about where he was “allowed” to put his hands. On the bare boobie, or not?
He is a repeat offender of the “tongue in mouth” shot, which the lady featured in the article seems to think is an absolute no-no. He also as we know doesn’t wear the pouch. I had wondered before whether, in his sex scenes, we are basically looking at how he kisses and what his moves are in real life. The lack of choreography may support that.
I wonder how many sex scenes are carefully planned in advance. Showgirls was a long time ago so it’s clearly not a new thing.
FWIW I thought that the naked scenes in TNM were completely gratuitous. He got his kit off (shirt minimum) in every single episode and my husband and I were laughing after a few weeks waiting for it to happen. What was the point, for example, of the naked al fresco shower scene? Do SAS men use this to toughen up?
So Tom was seen yesterday in London, marching in a certain parade there. With his boyfriend in tow. He's sticking that big foot of his in the closet door and stepping O-U-T!
Of mild interest:

>>766 So the vacuum purchase is to clean up the mess afterwards? (Condolences for England’s loss, BTW....)
>>767 Some Henry vacuum cleaners can be used to vac up water, so I guess useful for drying tears! I am not a footy fan....!
Tom is at Wimbledon for the Men's Final today! Tom still has the beard and glasses. His suit pants look a little short, and he looks a bit crumpled from the car ride, but I'm so happy to see him out enjoying his favorite hobbies. Tom, Eddie Redmayne, and his wife Hannah are all sitting in the royal box, it seems. The first link is of Tom in a close-up pic in the box. Yay!

>>772 interesting article - I didn’t know any of this. Lucky Tom.
Pictures of Tom in London, taken earlier today. He was spotted crossing a bridge after leaving The National Theatre. He's holding a black binder. I hope that it contains a new play that he's considering!

Another sighting of Tom in London. A woman says that Tom chatted with her girlfriend for 10 minutes, at work.
I can't even brag about seeing Tom Hiddleston anymore cause today my girlfriend had a WHOLE CONVERSATION being charming af to him. Surprised she didn't get an invite for tea round his house lol.
He came into my gf's work and they had a pleasant conversation for like 10 or so mins. Meanwhile when I saw him at my work I didn't get a chance to talk to him lol so now I'm just jelly 😂
Let's just say we both work in London, nothing really fancy but open to public. He's just such a down to earth guy that it can happen to strike a conversation out of the blue haha.
