Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>440 I have it on very good authority that Cloony is gay (or at least very bi). He had young boys regularly visiting him in his holiday house before he was married. His relationships were all staged as a cover.
This public love tour is shameful. So many secluded and private places they could go and they choose the COLOSSEUM.
>>451 hahaha. I have heard (not directly but via someone who is mates with someone at Doughty Street) that the marriage is a purely business arrangement. I am guessing that you heard it from the other side via industry contacts. That tends to make me think it is totally true.
>>445 I don't think they're having sex yet. I think she's holding out and that's why he's working so hard to please. As opposed to the theory that they're both in the SEX honeymoon phase. Or else we'd never see them.
>>452 From 3 different industry contacts, one of whom used to be his chef. I'm waiting with bated breath for the TH goss now. He's never been important enough for anyone to gossip before. It's only a matter of time before tongues start to wag. I wouldn't be surprised if the story is similar after this ludicrous public charade.
>>453 I read she is saving herself for marriage, which is why so many relationships only last 3 months. Would also explain why she is able to move on so rapidly. Hard to explain to a virgin how much sex has the potential to deepen intimacy and love.
>>449 he looks so full of enthusiasm...
>>451,452 the business arrangement part isn't even so covert, a tarot reader would be able to tell that. The rest I have no trouble believing that either.
>>453 with all the time they are spending on a plane/car/Mrs. Hiddleston's and those photos completely deprived of any passion or lust, I'm seriously starting to think that might be the case.
>>456 you mean they have just been holding hands? Not even dry-humping? How did Calvin Harris resist for over a year?!
I don't buy her as a prude.
They are not sexed up enough to be a new couple so either this is all showmance (highly likely), they've been dating a lot longer than we are led to believe or they're both shit in bed
>>459 Bu he was on a different continent and she was on holiday with Calvin Harris in May. TH flew back to London right after the Wizard Convention. So I'd go with the other 2 or she is a prude, after all this is a girl who lives in her own fantasy world, when she started dating the Kennedy boy she also started dressing in as if she were in the '60s or something.
>>455 I heard he went everywhere with his Brazilian hairdresser. Such a shame he won't come out. It's not like it has harmed Ian McKellen's career (and Clooney could dream of a hit like X Men).
TH - I go back and forth on whether he is gay. My current theory is he isn't, but also that he isn't the one night stand horn dog that the bycycle would have us believe, and that there are long period when he doesn't get much. There was a long dry spell after SF (ended early 2012 I think), with not a hint of anything before JA in mid 2013. Then a dry spell while filming CP and she wasn't on hand. A brief interlude for BB and another dry spell filming HR (lots of fans on set and not a hint that she visited him, or that he shagged around). Then EO from ??October 14, but we know they were apart a lot more than they were together. I don't think he has been getting laid a lot - unlike say Chris Evans, who just reeks of sex and I bet has honed everything he can get his hands on.
>>461 I was always sure he was hetero, even in these days of doubts I still think so. I agree with you that he doesn't get much (that's useful for his current situation).
>>460 I can't see how they could have got together earlier than SI wrapped in Vietnam, which was - when? Middle of March? TS was vacationing with CH from the middle of March and telling everyone he was the one now it had been a year. Surely she was still genuinely with him at that point - and since we now know that a TS fan tracks her jet there was no chance of a secret trio to Oz or Vietnam.
Maybe they met while TH was doing the press tour from hell, but again he was accounted for during a lot of that time - doing ISTL press at every radio station in the Midwest.
>>459 How common are the showmances do you think? As an industry insider? I guess most non industry people think ti is such a weird idea that they think, well it must be true.
PS I don't mean lavender marriages - they I feel are not totally uncommon inside or outside the industry, and that people are more ready to believe that a woman might settle for companionship with a gay guy and/or that a gay man might want kids.
>>464 Exactly. At the best they may have started talking to each other when TH followed her back on twitter in March. But if we are speaking about a meeting in person, I think that happened the first time at Wintour's dinner.
PPS I think there is a real prospect that TH isn't great in bed - just a gut feeling I have that goes along with my dry spell theory and my uncool at college theory.
PPPS I thought the body language on the beach in RI was pretty juvenile (the koala hug). Isn't that the body language of a 20 year old man who hasn't managed to score the home run yet, but desperately wants to? If she's not a career virgin I bet she is holding out.
He gets to let go of her hand to tuck in his shirt - but that's it! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHK-2qmhiSM
These seem more professional in nature so maybe her people https://www.instagram.com/p/BHLANmYDBix/
>>456 I worked with a celeb in a lavender marriage last week. She loves her gay husband and he's a great father to her son. Seemed ideal. Most others I work with date normal people and they're really happy and find it grounding to have a partner who's not in the biz. The double celeb couples I have met are very private and keep to themselves. That's why I majorly side eye pap- whore double dating. It's Kardashian.
>>449 Oh Lord. I want this picture EVERYWHERE. I'm going to start a million blogs and this will be the only pic I ever post.
Where's the hand holding? Where's the gazing deep into her eyes? Where's the Latin love poetry?
Every set of pictures removes me more from believing in this shit show.
>>470 So what do you think this is? Double lavender? Single lavender? Heterosexual showmances? Or relationship with showmances benefits? So many options!
Why does she always looks so submissive with her boyfriends? She always has that expression of "oh I'm so fragile. I need daddy to take me by the hand and take care of me." The daddy being the boyfriend, of course. It's probably to make them feel good, but it's pretty stupid.
>>472 I've no idea. Obviously they're aggressively marketing whatever it is to cover/ smother something and for this level of whoring it must be something big.
>>471 I am in love with this picture. The stans on tumblr are going "but everyone checks their phone sometimes" - delusional. Having actually been on a crazy holiday with the love of my life to Venice 3 weeks into our relationship I can say that we didn't look like that, ever. We did a lot of sightseeing, we went to some great restaurants, and we spent a lot of time naked. When we were out and about and clothed, I recall snogging in restaurants while the waiters waited patiently to put down our food.
>>469 I think she's had breast augmentation. It's fine, I'm not slighting her for that. It's her money and her body. But if you look at the tight red crop top she wore to the concert - I can't see bra lines, strap or band. And it's pretty low, but no cup tops are visible. Maybe only TS can buy magical bras that make her look like she's gone from an A cup to a C cup, but I don't think that's the case.
>>476 I am guessing before the split with CH. they look more or less the same size here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3494330/Bikini-clad-Taylor-Swift-Calvin-Harris-share-passionate-kiss-romantic-beach-holiday-celebrating-one-year-together.html
Well. Now I see why the articles kept mentioning that it would be a very brief visit to England. I would ask how they knew, but fuck it. This is 100% "real" so I'll guess they have a freshly waxed crystal ball.
>>475 I think the next album may have a song about a guy who loves his phone more than his girlfriend. And if you think of it, they've travelled so much so that TS has a variety of locations in which to set the songs: the beach, Nashville, mom's house, Italy, the next stop.
>>477 I think people were speculating after. Say at some time after the Met ball. Here she is at the end of May.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that red crop top made her look braless and super busty.
And that was in middle March! She was so in love with Calvin, sharing photos of their love on social media and less than 2 months later she was already flirting with Tom.
I really can't understand this.
>>480 they look pretty much the same here to me: http://m.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/hollywood-taylor-swift-calvin-harris-breakup-332360?utm_source=https://www.google.co.uk/
>>481 She knew Calvin's contract was almost up and she needed to line up her next "boyfriend"?
For the second pic. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/wendy-williams-accuses-taylor-swift-8297207
I understand pictures can be misleading. But it's ones like these that move me away from 'real relationship,' or at least from the sort of real relationship that requires you to 'meet the folks.' They should have just stopped after Nashville. I believed this was REAL attraction, lust, rebound - whatever - up until the pap-filled trip to the UK. I'm starting to think that the presence of his family isn't because it's true love or even because of her wacky relationship timeline. I'm starting to think it's just another selling point for this relationship. It must be real - I took her home to meet my mother.
I hate them more.
On the other hand, I love Tom Hiddleston's father like he's my second father. I'm sure they would have liked a trip to see daddy Hiddleston as well. I doubt TH even asked him, but I'd have liked to hear the reaction had he.
>>482 That's from 2015, isn't it? Most were suggesting May of this year.
>>485 she's with Calvin. They look fake because you can see he flying my saucer line round the inner edge. That's all I got.
>>484 Yesterday's pap stroll certainly revealed something. TH is not quite such a good actor as he thinks because his face was saying a lot he didn't intend it to in a lot of pictures. I think enough pics that we can say it wasn't for a split second. Her face staring at him over the car door also said a lot.
I lean towards it being a genuine thing that started to go sour at that moment. He's probably acted out that romantic beach walk in his head a dozen times. The reality is a GF wearing a bitch expression she learned from her cats, watched by every pap in Britain, with a side order of her security and the police.
One more random thought. Rome is in one sense the perfect second date. TH may be a shameless famewhore who has pimped out the entire distaff side of his family for a ride in a private jet, BUT he is also still a highly educated, cultured man with a genuine interest in art and literature. How will be enjoy a holiday in Rome with TS?
I went to Rome on honeymoon and I was therefore already fully committed, but I was made to go to the Forum for 4 hours to look at rocks and listen to stories about the rocks, of which there are a lot. Ther were times when I thought I wasn't going to make it, you know? Imagine his ability to drone on pompously combined with her lack of higher education and devotion to pop culture. I want to see both their faces while he is dragging her round the Capitoline Museums.
>>487 Since they're pushing such an aggressive fairytale narrative, them having an affair after meeting at MET could be true. It was all hot and sexy delicious fun until they went public and the manufactured story orchestration began. The whole thing could be losing its sheen for him now that he has to live this daily with her instead of fun stolen moments in an affair.
If Time magazine hates them, everyone hates them. http://time.com/4384106/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-photos-beach/
True love and grandkids! http://m.eonline.com/news/776108/taylor-swift-told-her-friends-she-thinks-she-s-in-love-with-tom-hiddleston
Should we get ready for a proposal in Paris? Eiffel Tower in the back?
>>488 Do you know the opposite of distaff? Do you?
Husband refused Rome as a honeymoon destination. We'd taken a trip there in 2013 and I had treated him to the same delights your husband offered you. He said not again. So we went to Bora Bora...NO, not really.
TH would probably start to bore your husband...she's got NO chance.
>>492 I like how they capitalize 'Her' in one of the sentences. That probably came right from the publicist.
It sounds like a romance summary typed by a monkey: He makes her feel safe, he is romantic and charming.
She's enjoying the 'quality time' they are having. Yeah, okay.
>>496 I laughed reading the line about how attentive he is after seeing that fan picture of him staring at his phone in the restaurant.
>>492 Also, nice use of the ONE pic from beach stroll #2 where he is actually smiling.
'Last minute trip'...with her security requirements. Again, yeah, okay.
I just tried to give them the Bennifer of the doubt and come up with an authentic storyline and failed.
How can you possibly explain 'TayTo so in love. So candid. So genuine.'
>>495 It's supposed to be spear but saying "the spear side" sounds stupid.
Where did you go in the end?
Knowing my luck, after the Intervention, hubby and TH will fall in love over the classical droning and end up re-enacting scenes on Greek pots while I sleep in a cot at the foot of the bed.
http://blindgossip.com/?p=79384#more-79384 Grain of salt, people.
>>501 It is spear. Mykonos with hops around the other islands. Your husband and TH would make a great Bl: This actor loves Greek art....
>>496 I do think right now everything E! says is coming directly straight from Taylor's publicist. They were the ones churning out articles in minutes after a TayTo pap stroll so that we'd all have a narrative accompanying the visuals.
This one cracked me up though - https://m.mic.com/articles/147208/taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddleston-are-literally-modeling-their-relationship-after-rom-coms#.v78nfIsEX
Their whole relationship is such a Disney teen movie lol
More gay rumors, Anon: http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/06/blind-item-9-686.html
>>502 I've been hearing whispers of Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner about to go public soon with their relationship. It may or may not coincide with their movie premiering at upcoming film festivals. Telluride maybe but don't quote me on that. You can quote me on the relationship though lol
>>502 heh hello TH/TS/EO/CH. CH is now dating and actress I've never heard of.
Ding, says the capcha
>>505 oh wait - let me publish this again, and mention that if you missed it, read the little bon mot below the ad - that's the zinger:
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/06/blind-item-9-686.html
I was telling a friend who just discovered TH when she watched the Night Manager, that i thought he was bi. Always, from day 1. Easy to say being the theatre and with the KB rumors but I believe it. And from there it's easy to see that he's not really going as long between relationships as the public sees. And if there really is a breakup with you know who, who's minding the store during this publicity storm?
>>507 CH? I was thinking that the 'super movie' part could be Henry Cavill, but I don't know his relationship status. Is there another youngish actor that was in the Superman movies that EO could be 'hooking up' with?
>>510 It's not Jeremy Renner??? I thought those two were going to come out. If it's Henry Cavill she's seeing, that'd be pretty amazing. They'd look stunning on the red carpet together. Him being with the 19 yr old was all sorts of creepy and uncomfortable.
'It’s been a little less than two weeks since the start date of Taylor and Tom’s contract Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s authentic love grew on a rock in Rhode Island and since then, they have moved faster than two U-Haul lesbians on speed...
But seriously, ToTay is looking so damn fake that it almost defeats the purpose of a PR relationship. Maybe this is one big performance art piece and Taylor’s artistic commentary on how her relationships are perceived by the media. Naw, I’m giving her ass too much credit.'
>>511 i forgot she was filming the movie with Renner earlier this year. Did Cavill break up with the 19 year old already? Good. That was creepy
Just came across this article from last week and had a good laugh about it:
http://thats-normal.com/2016/06/congratulations-taylor-swift-tom-hiddlestons-publicists/
(Not sure if it's been posted already, there have been so many...)
http://its-tomlinsunshine.tumblr.com/
bodyguards saying "make space", and this is the guy who ranted about equality
>>516 Eye roll. If they wanted space they should have just taken the private tour, it's not like they can't afford it... but if they took the private tour then we wouldn't have any "adorable" fan anecdotes and instagram photos being passed around on the internet.
Side note, it's interesting that someone who saw them interact in public (peck on the lips and all) thinks that it's a PR stunt.
>>516 That sounds so romantic. Like a 5th grade field trip. snort
When they don't call paps to follow them in a private area, they go to a crowded hotspot. Gotta leave that picture trail to show how deep and beautiful their love is.
Thi sis the Wndy Williams video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=835&v=fqDn8cK7OBc
Look at the faces of the audience, this is not bringing him any love in the US
>>518 I'm glad that they couldn't call the paps (it'd be impossible in the Colosseum unless like anonsy says it's a private tour, I'm sure there'll be a papstroll tomorrow) because this way we got photos of TH's where he's not in paps-mode.
>>520 His pap mode seems to be slipping too from the looks of those last beach pics. He looked like he couldn't even be bothered to muster up joy or some contentment on his face.
It seems so arrogant that while his country struggles with Brexit, he's parading his lavish lifestyle with Taylor even more. Don't think that's adding to his appeal for the Hiddlestoners exiting in big numbers.
>>521 Comment on DM article (which featured the phone pics): "looks like Tom Hiddleston will be the third British exit in a week" (we bombed out of the European Cup last night).
Looking a lot less miserable:
>>523 Am I being too tinfoil hatty if I note that these pics look to be of much better quality than the other candids taken yesterday?
>>524 My first thought was AH! There are the pap photos...
>>525 Yes. I don't think anyone got that close - so they are paps with good zoom lenses.
Also these http://oursong.tumblr.com/post/146594791149
>>527 Last night's dinner?
If you want to be really tinfoil hatty she has what looks like a glass of juice. And San Pellegrino in the wine cooler.
>>523 Hahahah! Full blown pap shots! I knew those were on the way. They really have the timing down to a science for their pap releases. They couldn't leave the narrative up to the civilians and their social media snaps.
Lord, they really are reenacting their own Nicholas Sparks movie.
>>528 Not sure but I'd guess so, and interesting.
Though honestly my tin foil hat is still stuck wondering how the ragmags knew the first day they were in the UK that it would only be for 24/48 hours or so.
I might have to craft a second hat to perch on the first >.<
Those Colosseum pap shots literally look like an engagement photoshoot. I'm really beginning to believe that Taylor goes through all her pap shots and OKs which ones she wants going live.
>>523 It's incredible that they managed to make a 'passionate spontaneous kiss' look like an forced airlock between a frail old man and a needy ironing board.
http://www.tmz.com/2016/06/28/calvin-harris-taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-parents/
'Calvin Harris thinks it's "f****** laughable" that Taylor Swift has already met Tom Hiddleston's mother ... considering she NEVER met Calvin's parents during their 15-month relationship.'
Hello lovely sane people. Back from Greece and I just have to say, I AM SO OVER THIS ENTIRE SHIT SHOW! Seriously, WTAF is going on??! Yes the relationship may be real and in some photos they look genuinely happy and in love, but please, for the love of God, give it a rest with the publicity. With their money and connections they could be having a lovely romantic time away from the public eye. He's being made a laughing stock. So not good. What a knob.
I've noticed on Swifty blogs that whenever these pap shots come out of TayTo, they are always quoting one of her songs and the lyrics seem to fit pretty well. Almost like a music video. Which makes me wonder if TayTo have built their world tour around her albums? This whole thing is TAYlored to appeal to her fanbase.
That would be insane. Then again so is this performance. Sorry with each new pap stroll, I still get appalled that they're being this transparent and expecting us to believe it's all organic.
>>533 that's because he is (compared to her) an old man and she is a needy ironing board.
>>534 Damn...harsh. Her own jet and "it's too far away"? And now this world tour. That's definitely gotta hurt.
>>535 Welcome back!!
Yes, she totally could have done the holiday she did with CH when, IIRC, the only shots released were her own from Instagram.
>>540 Yep, exactly. It's so over engineered, I just can't work out what it is all about. I managed to take pictures at Ancient Corinth without getting papped once!
BTW my captcha just now was VOW - maybe a wedding is on the way after all!
These pictures are so confusing! I used to think it might be interesting to kiss TH, but these pecks with sunglasses on make it like a lot work! And a hand kiss is quite romantic,p in general, I think they can be passionate and gallant if done correctly, however, I would be into these brunch pics if they were sitting leg to leg, or hip to hip, with warmer body language. Where is the warmth and the heat? The pap pics are definitely to try to drive the narrative. What is the purpose of this? Does anyone know? And keeping the water in the wine cooler is the best way to keep it cool in the summer. That makes sense. And it was reported that TS had about five cocktails while out at Adeles in Nashville, so I'm hopping that she wouldn't do that if she was expecting.
>>527 She is dressed differently so I'd say they are from today's breakfast.
>>530 I think because this holiday has been planned. Or do we believe that they are deciding where to go the night before going?
>>533,538 and this you both said is not even shade, but a mere description.
>>535 Welcome back! The funny thing is that it looks bad as a PR show, but it looks even worse as a real thing. If it's both it looks awful. There's no way of spinning this positively.
If they plan to visit other Italian cities, I hope TS is prepared to walk, because most city centres are pedestrian areas or somewhat close to traffic. She won't be able to go around in SUV.
Anon those were definitely papshots, torilla has the HQ
http://tw.weibo.com/torilla/3991379909165632
>>543 Planned, exactly. For being a "private" affair it very much sounds like their itinerary is known, which is strange at least to me. Or tinfoiling means that paps know where they're going to be well in advance, so the sources are sharing more than just "taylor says she loves him" sort of things.
>>543 Couch, I'm genuinely bewildered by the whole thing. Also quite cross with myself that I even care. (Not in a jealous type way but in a why would you ruin your good reputation like this kind of way.)
>>546 it's strange for an actual relationship, more it's alien for a real relationship. For a press tour or role campaign or similar, not really.
>>547 I feel you, I don't see TH's profile rising because of this, the good that came from his press tour in the US it's garbage now, the reputation he built in the UK it's garbage now. Yes, his career will go on but no in a better way that it was before. Plus, he won't be able to go back to the way it was with the press. Maybe if they had disappeared after RI, but this is really a circus.
>>543 It's definitely a holiday but why do they feel the need to overexpose themselves on it? The idea of putting their whole vacation up for everyone's viewing pleasure is tacky and thirsty. The only way this could get any worse is if they shared it live in real time via Periscope. Or created their own snapchat sorry with their own filter - ~~* TayTo Tour || Summer 2016 ~~*
