(Stands up) I am Spartacus!
Anon WITH dot, I consider my self lucky for various better reasons, unlike you clearly. Trying to troll? Keep on going.
Anon without dot, it's not fun for me, that's the way I am. I consider those jokes to be cruel and unfair, ffor many reasons I won't name. All I can say he doesn't date Olsen, nor he ever anything with her, and it's all her who made the uses to get some fame, so he doesnt deserve all this SHIT that comes his way.
And I do see that some think Tom to be a fuck machine, and he doesn't deserve it either.
This message board originated as a development of Datalounge threads of sorts, when the locals there became aggravated about multiple TH topics and someone suggested we move here.
So yeah, the intention was exactly this - anonymous gossip, speculation and (sometimes naughty) poking fun, not fawning over his every move, although we obviously like him here - otherwise why waste all this time discussing.
And I also enjoy this board for what it is :)
But he has quite many lady friends/acquaintances, doesn't he? I don't remember seeing many pics (or mentions from friendly neighbour stalkers) of him with male friends, apart from BC and Olly the Assistant.
>>403 That's the growing up with two sisters. I've known guys who are only male children with sisters. They just tend towards having more female friends than not.
It's the same when there's only one girl and she has several brothers - they tend to have more male friends than female.
I think a person's social circles very much reflect their sibling situation when growing up.
Well Olly goes to the coffee shop with him and they had a date at Wimbledon. Maybe EO is 2015's Lara Pulver!
He has good male friends too : Laurence Spellman, John Macmillan and Harry Hadden-Paton
>>406 He went to Eton and Cambridge has more male than female students (or did then). I expect he has some more male friends but we don't see because twitter folk don't take pics of him with other blokes unless they are famous.
Tho I agree that he probably has more female than male friends overall. I wonder if that's because he was a bit of a wallflower when he was younger. He has only really grown into his looks in the last few years, and getting a brilliant first at Cambridge takes a lot of work. Not the stuff of which college lotharios are made. I hope he is enjoying his day in the sun now.

A random "hello" to Facebook. http://m.weibo.cn/d/torilla?jumpfrom=weibocom#showPic
With this and the above pic I'd say she's gone home now and that our hero has time on his hands!
Almost certainly she left the day after theatre and dinner. That's why there was no paps follow up.
As for having time on his hands, he's more than likely busy giving interviews for the Oct/Nov issues of magazines.
Thanking his fans and talking about his work - he also tweeted about CP today - are a way to move away from what happened 2 weeks ago.
They were seen last weekend, after the pap shots.
>>419 by and where?
Anon.lies. lies. Lies. No one saw then a week after that, otherwise it would've spread like a wildfire. Nice try though
>>421 Please calm down. Anon. could be mistaken, or they could have seen something we missed. Generally we do not lie to each other on this board, and we certainly don't run around calling each other liars because we think someone is wrong. Also keep in mind that you were incorrect about the sighting with the brunette just a few days ago and missed the photo when you checked for it on Twitter, but nobody attacked you for it. We disagree with each other all the time around here, but we keep it respectful. Please try to do the same.
please let's not start again. I've just asked the mods to delete the previous fight, I'd like not have to ask again to delete another.
They were seen out in his neighborhood on Saturday. Talking and walking by all accounts - nothing more. However, he was also seen at a movie on that Friday - on his lonesome ownsome.
Both of these were from twitter - I saw them at the time and have no intention of scrolling back to try to find them. I don't think they made it to tumblr, Toby or the other TH blogs. But they may be there, I'm not certain..
I haven't got a horse in this race - really. If I see it on twitter, I mention it - just like I did with the sighting of the tall brunette. I saw it on twitter, mentioned it here, and that was it. I'll continue to do that - and now that I know that people like links and pics, I'll know to screen cap in the future.
>>424 I for one am just glad I don't have to check Twitter myself. :) Thanks.
>>424 Are you talking about this movie sighting?
https://twitter(.)com/Gerard_McCarthy/status/628967971411640320
The guy didn't specify that TH was alone
>>424 paps these days, so incompetent that one must rely on tweets! Yes, please if you find something of interest a link or even the name for the person would be nice.
>>426 No, not that one. The one I saw was on Friday itself. The woman - I think - seemed to suggest that it had just happened. A few people asked if he was with anyone, and she said no.
But then, he could have been and she just didn't notice. He could have been with EO, his sister, Tall Brunette (as I affectionately call her), Luke, the Queen, a bog of popcorn with the power of speech...all possibilities.
>>425 I usually do a quick check of the tag in the morning, but I gave up this morning because he went and blew up the tag. Ugh. Too much crap to wade through...even for me.
>>427 I know! What, does a person have to call them to get them to show up?!
Oh, yeah.
>>417 Just say something nice to the fans Tom, keep their mind off other things
It's really annoying that someone tries to make us believe that they were seen together when they were not. That's all. No photo - no proof - no teuthe. Usually such things if they are real make their way to our l if very fast - and since no one talks about it, it is rubbish. As for correcting me all the time, think about yourself first, Anon. You try to pull the mark and make people believe they are dating when they aren't. You are really keen.on that aren't you?
>>432 But the thing is, they were seen together and there was photographic proof, a lot of it.
I'm not keen on them being together, I just happen to think, based on evidence, that they are together - in some way. Or were together. Who knows if it's present or past tense?
And you're right, those tweets might have been false - there weren't photos with them.
Time will tell.
>>433 I would say it's probably safe to assume the movie theater tweets are true, since more than one person saw him, including a grown man who is verified on Twitter.
>>431 Yes, it did sound too much like a plea to stay by him, whether because the dating scoop is false or real I don't know, but it sounded a bit apologetic.
We have some material, it's pretty much the same material we had with Sian or JA. With these 2 people assumed 2 different things based on what type of story they liked best more than "evidence". Whether they were right we'll never know.
With EO because there's PR for a film, because there were articles that come from a US mag that is assumed to be her PR's favourite, the couple speculation makes more sense to most.
There are plenty who don't even have an opinion - raise hand.
We'll all know for sure in 4 weeks.
Couple of more things before I rush to work.
About his message. I don't know if anyone else checked, but the news of that night was everywhere, not just in the English speaking world, I saw articles in 7 other languages, so his message with its slightly needy nuance it truly made me wonder if this might not have been a big gossip blunder.
About those tweets, I'll try to see if I can find them, the cinema's shouldn't be difficult since I have the day.
>>437 yes, the festivals. Unfortunately Telluride doesn't announce its program until the day before it starts, but that seems to be the most likely venue for ISTL. As for TIFF, I think CP might make it after all, GdT will hold a gothic class in August in collaboration with TIFF. I'm not sure about ISTL.
Actually I think TH is also busy preparing his Kong character because he won't have much time for it in Sept.
If he's doing print interviews, he may be answering questions about their relationship - on and off the set. Maybe those questions are first and foremost after the pap photos. It seems like that might be a obvious question to ask: So, did the chemistry on set spill over to your real life, Tom?
Maybe the facebook post was a cry in the wilderness moment. As in, I want to talk about Hank's soul, not whether I'm doing my co-star! Respect my craft!
>>440 haha But I think if he didn't want to answer those questions his agent will tell the journalist not to ask. if Daniel Radcliff's agent can tell journalists he doesn't want to talk about his past alcohol problems, TH's agent can do the same.
"Corey Hawkins Joins #SkullIsland (EXCLUSIVE) http://variety.com/2015/film/news/straight-outta-compton-skull-island-corey-hawkins-1201557216/
https://twitter .com/Variety/status/628990407586611200
I'm thinking they might let "are they or aren't they?" be an unanswered question during ISTL promo. Then people keep speculating, talking about the film's stars, doing write ups, watching the two of them together to try to spot something, etc.
Nothing will happen in 4 weeks, they aren't a couple. There is no.need to be a rocket scientist to understand that it's HER, Olsen pr and she would die and squeeze in a rabbit hole to make people believe that they are together. I've read a lot of articles in other languages too, and they all are a messy translation from.one another. Now they say Tom was courting her before Chris Evans and they near my fought for her when she broke up with her bf. Is THIS normal? I really laughed because I doubt it was her who broke up the engagement and she isn't that pretty to fight over. Plastic surgery, weird face, not very smart. Though Olsen fans think differently and call the tall brunette fat cow now (disaster as they say), I seriously hope if he dates someone it's the tall girl. Not that ugly porcelain doll.
As for Twitter sightings. Well, he was alone there, in the cinema, in the restaurant. As for the sightings around his house... have you heard a out a common lie? When group of people lie just be cause they want it to be so. Olsen fans and nannies will do that just to troll the Hiddleston fandom. When it's real , people take pics. No photo- no sightings.
I'm sure Tom and Lizzie were friends before the accident with the paps, but I nightly doubt he would like to be seen with her again. She acted like a stupid pornstar (somebody made a collage of her and the arrests of prostitutes on Twitter). His messages sound apologetic, perhaps he finally understood that THIS rumors And TBIS stupid starlet will ruin him.
So they aren't a couple. He is smart enough to keep bimself away from such people when he finally realizes who they are.
>>443 if they do that people are going to go for the worst option.
>>441 Hold the damn bus! DanRan had alcohol probs? What?
please do not engage. I beg you.
>>446 yes, I think you can still find an article about it at CB
>>449 that might have been a good solution if TH hadn't been labelled as a homewrecker. He is the one with the image problem now, not her.
>>449 "But someone keeps calling US Weekly...!" Plot twist - it's Jane Arthy.
>> 450 I agree he now has this problem (entirely of his or her own making for drawing our attention to the whole trying back in May) - but what can he say that will make it better? If the Star mag thing was a plant (big if) it made him look worse - he waited till she broke up and then called her the next day. That makes him sound both involved and predatory, or just like an even bigger liar who won't admit he was seeing her before they broke up. I truly think it can't be spun back so silence is the only option now.
>>452 if they are a couple yes.
>>450 Interviewer: First question, Tom: Are you a homewreaker?
Luke: Noooooooooooooo!
>>453 If. If they are not but (as seems beyond doubt) they are friends it also doesn't look good or help their friendship to say "oh no it was all a colossal mistake by the papers we are just friends". Not very gallant and puts the spotlight on her or her PR for being desperate and telling very one they were seeing each other to try and make it come true.
>>455 What a mess. Someone somewhere screwed up and now I can't think of how they can possibly fix it.
There is no way to fix it, people will judge Tom in any ways.
I don care about EO, I hope she will burn in PR hell.
( accidentally wrote it in different thread)
>>435. I hope he doesn't feel the need to apologize - whatever the situation with EO is. It is his life, after all. He doesn't need to say sorry for dating someone, he doesn't need to say sorry for pretending to date someone.
If he apologies, that means he k.ow he dies something wrong.
I really feel sorry for him. To be involved with Olsens is a disaster and I'm surprised he never knew it. But people like her can pretend well and make others believe they are saints when they are sluts.
When he will date a commuting girl with a commuting background and not a famewhore, I will be happy for him.and support him. Now he gets what he deserves, simply for having a friend like Olsen.
Why are you guys assuming that the stories are definitely planted for PR? It would not be the first time that the press have written stories based on assumptions they've made about some pap pics that came in over their feed, including made-up 'sources'. It literally happens all the damn time - whenever someone famous is seen with a member of the opposite sex while being single.
Sometimes the people in question are going out, but 90% of the time it turns out to be bullshit.
Neither of them has used their personal relationships for PR purposes in the past, they both say they think it's really unhelpful for an actor to do so, so why would they start now? They're not flogging a reality TV show!
>>455 Olsen already said in some past interview that media are always romantically liking her to any guy she is seen with. TH had media saying Susannah was his wife. It wouldn't be their first tie denying something.
I don't think if he says "we are just friend" it'll come off as rude, at least to his fans. The spotlight might go back on her PR and her - if they were involved - but since she didn't care about ruining his reputation I don't see why he should.
Anyway, just friends or not, surely each of them talked with their PR agents deciding what best to say or not say.
>>460 Nobody is stating they are, we are saying if that was the case, then it will look like this it's all hypothetical.
The assumption, not made here specifically, her PR was involved is because she used Us Weekly in the past to announce her engagement.
>>458 he doesn't need to apologize, but people are free to dislike him or not respecting him if he is pretending, if he is a homewrecker. (by the time we'll know the truth I'll have a big IF tattooed on my brain)
I mean if the situation was inverted, if TH had been officially engaged with someone, and some dude went after his fiancé on set and then she broke off their engagement, what will everyone be saying? "yes, she was right to cheat on him and dump him if TH wasn't her true love" or "what a bitch"?
EO also used US Weekly to confirm the end of her engagement: http://m.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/elizabeth-olsen-boyd-holbrook-split-break-off-engagement-details-2015191
And the May 2015 "hooking up" article was not the result of pap pics as they had not been photographed together prior to that article, nor had it been suggested in any mainstream media outlet that they were together. So it was not perhaps an entirely unreasonable assumption that she and TH were in some way involved and that the story came from one of them (probably her) to forestall any future suggestion that he had caused her breakup and/or to get the news out there before someone spotted them and made it a big splash.
And no I don't personally think they are using their relationship for PR for the movie. If there is a relationship and if the first story came from them I imagine it was done with the hope to control the gossip by getting there first.
>>464 with wonderful results! lol I feel like anyone with scarce intelligence these days is a PR agent.
That May article wasn't very flattering though, with that "hooking up". I totally expect one of the bycycle haters to send the spa's photos to the DM.
Well, the article in May wasn't really pleasant one. Hooking up casually - is not very romantic And doesn't give both side a good light. Yes, it came from Olsen, and poor Tom was used as a cover. As well as the craziest gossip about Chris Evans.
Does anyone think it's possible the original US article came from someone who didn't like Elizabeth and/or Tom very much? Olsen's ex-fiancé, or someone close to him maybe? If she left him for Tom, it's great revenge, and even if she and Tom weren't involved it would still make her and her upcoming film look bad.
Unlikely. It's verbose behaviour and not like BH at all. The girl just wanted to have some Hiddles, but alas... she is trying to pull as if they are something when they are none.
According my info Tom actually is involved with another woman, not Olsen at all.
don't know, it wouldn't be such a smart move for Holbrock (is that his name?), mags have a habit of talking eventually and he isn't a powerful actor, if he gets a bad rep he'll have problems finding a part, especially since EO, because of her family, has more influence.
Btw, Cumberbatch's Hamlet is about to start, TH will surely go. That is going to be interesting.
He doesn't need her to go there.
Eyeroll keep ignoring sane opinion.
>>464 I just read the story you linked to. It says 'A source has confirmed', it doesn't say the source is from Olsen or contain any direct quotes from her that aren't taken from other interviews. The 'source' could be completely made up and they could just be repeating internet gossip. Or they could have actually found out the information not from anyone in Olsen's campt, but by sketchy means. That's the beauty of anonymous 'sources', and precisely why every story - true or not - that orginated in hacked voicemails was atributed to one.
The fact that they recycled 3 different anonymous sources in that piece does not inspire confidence that they've actually got an inside line or are being fed information from Olsen's camp.
>>473 it could be either way, it's an assumption that Us Weekly is her go to place, it's an assumption that US Weekly isn't.
To the new posters: please try to understand that we don't post to convince anyone, ok? It's all just guesswork.
if they are just friends, if they are a couple, if they are whatever.
Ultimately, we might all be proven wrong. It really isn't a competition on who gets it right. we are just trying to see what could have happened.
The only thing for sure right now is that TH has had a damage to his reputation, and that there is a PR mess to fix.
If what caused it is someone's PR, a conflation of unfortunate events, naivety, incompetence, malice, the double full moon, we don't know.
>>473 US Weekly had the exclusive on her romance with Holbrook, her engagement and her split
In other news, it seems that EO was spotted in Berlin yesterday for the Cap 3 shoot :
http://xshipper(.)tumblr(.)com/post/126000346605/i-got-the-directors-anthony-russo-and-joe-russo-of
Not surprised since Chadwick Boseman is also there and I remember reading that Scarlet Witch's storyline in the movie was linked to Black Panther
The original 'hooking up' story looked to me like it had been sourced from fan sightings of them together at that cafe he goes to, which had been floating around various blogs for a while. It didn't contain any more information that those fan sightings did, and seemed to follow the line of fan speculation that they were just FWBs, which comes up every time he's spotted with a woman because some fans can't bear the idea of him being in a relationship.
Then followed EO being spotted out with Chris Evans, and therefore linked to him, and the idea that the Hiddleston rumours must have been a smokescreen (which just screams of someone who is not a Hiddleston fan deciding that no woman wold pick TH over CE!).
The fan-snapped pics were someone proving that they really had spotted them together, and a different fan admitted to tipping the Mail off abut them - so we know they weren't planted by either PR. The paps descending on them came after The Mail story with the fan pics - the paps knew that a picture of them together would sell to the papers once the Mail had written about them.
And voila - the rest of the press coverage follows that, and is basically one magazine recycling another's story in a giant game of chinese whispers which ends up with stories of them having 'confirmed their relationship' according to the gossip mags, but none of them have a direct quote from either Th or EO, or even an on-the-record comment from their PRs.
Of course, they might be together. I personally think they'd make a cure couple. But I'm not convinced that any of the gossip magazines know any more about their relationship than we do - in fact, I'm pretty sure that internet gossip sites are their 'sources'.
>>476 in that case, saying that US Weekly has an inside track with EO is reasonable. But that article in May still sounded bad for both. Now it's only TH.
>>477 thank you. (there's no need to use brackets for links in general, the only exception are twitter links)
All 'exclusive' means is that they're the first magazine to publish a story - and not always that, the word is frequently misused and abused by the press. It doesn't mean they have insider information.
>>475 You say that, Couch Potato, but it's not what I've seen, here or elsewhere. People accept a speculative premise and then run with it, and by the time they've done talking everyone is acting like it's the absolute truth. It's an echo chamber effect.
For example, your premise that this is a PR disaster. No it's not. The vast majority of people simply don't care that much, will only have vaguely seen a story about the two of them dating and won't even realise that she was engaged. It's only the very small number of gossip-site obsessives (I include myself in that) who will be following all this.
I joked to my friends who I go to the theatre with that we must be dating becuase we had dinner together afterwards, and they didn't have a clue what I was on about. They hadn't even seen the mainstream press coverage, and when I explained didn't even know there was a third Olsen sister!
>>481 They were real exclusives, I checked. I just think it's too much of a coincidence.
>>482 And apparently you decided to only read what suited your apology. I said I don't have an opinion and I don't. But, as I also said, believe at your heart desire.
>>482 Well speaking of the echo chamber.
You say that the May US Weekly article came from "blog sightings" of TH and EO at the cafe. Presumably you refer to nw3 and/or the bicycle. The thing is that before the article there weren't any such sightings. EO had I think been spotted in London - not with TH. As to who TH was seen with, NW3 reported a sighting of him with a brunette with blonde highlights in late Jan. No identity given. Others soon speculated it might be EO and nw3 rubbished those suggestions saying it was pure hypothesis based on EO being in London and recently single. Lots of others suggested it was JA. There was no sighting of EO and TH reported on the bicycle site either though she did repost the brunette highlight sighting. There were as far as I am aware no Twitter sightings of them together either.
In May the day after the article appeared nw3 suddenly confirmed that she had seen them together in Jan/Feb. Since then it has been accepted on Celebitchy etc that "blogs" had reported sightings of them together in Jan/Feb.
So no I don't think that the U.S. Weekly article was cobbled together from TH bloggers. It came first and they rushed to say they knew all about it.
Stop talking about TH WERKING it, and
Start talking about TH's WORK!!
Signed,
Anon. (Definitely not Luke)
>>477 Awww, TH has got no one to have lunch with, and no one to take to the theatre and he's sending out 'I's so sowrry for showing up in Star Magazine' Facebook posts.
I feel for the dude.
He's allowed to have a social life and get his leg over. I don't care if it's EO or not, but I hope he's got someone.
Out Russel Crown, maybe enters Samuel L. Jackson. They better hurry.

>>489 This movie is ALL over the place...a bad place.
Maybe TH should just play ALL the parts...OSCAR!
But then we won't be able to speculate about him and his leading lady...unless you want to ship TH with TH in a wig.
PS. I totally want to ship TH with TH in a wig.
Just saw it, idk if it means anything... https://twitter .com/issyvb/status/629458708045631488
>>492 Sounds like Tom has been around the theater she works at. Wonder if he's there to see friends, or doing something else in the building, or just catching some shows. Maybe working on some unannounced project - I would love that. Stage Tom is the best.
>>491 But what would the ship name be? TomTom? HiddleWig? TWiggleston?
Side note - I was searching his name on the Twitter app and the top suggested search when I typed "Tom Hiddleston" was "Tom Hiddleston cheater."
It sounded like as if he was working, but that's just my guessing. God, make stage Tom happen again, I want to see him again acting like a proper actor, not an American circus bear.
Side note: Tom cheater? Here we are... a kick to those groupthink that his image isn't damaged.
https://instagram.com/p/6EGJjzh5Aj/
Tom was spotted in theatre with another woman and couple of men. No Olsen.
He was at Mark Gatiss' play - a few people spotted him in the audience.
This woman saw him afterward and took a short video...and, yes, there is a short brunette in the video...let the wild speculation begin.
>>495 I think 'damaged' is a bit strong.
From what I understand - I wasn't in the fandom then - this reaction was similar to what took place with Bora Bora and Jane. Fans were like: What?! You never told us you were in a relationship (as if he needed to)! You said there was nothing to write home about. How dare you not be 100% available and accountable to your fans!
And that reaction was ridiculous.
If he cheated, he cheated - that's on him. He isn't accountable to fans.
