Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>99 So says Taylor's publicist....my current theory is that she runs to GC to debunk the true stuff (see discussion upthread).
>>100 This is what he wants, so suck it up, guy.
>>101 I share your theory, if not because her people ran to GC to debunk the rumour of her breakup with Calvin after the Met Gala videos and we all know how that turned out.
>>100 All the better to look joyous and in lurve when reunited with his true lurve...and the more friendly paps. Yes I've become that jaded.
>>100 You know what his face looks like?
Tom: (opens planefinder) Oh shit, she's following me.
>>100 Little wonder, listen to the questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9-jnW4Umv0
But, mystery solved, he left the airport.
>>106 Asking ALL the questions to which we want answers:
Do you regret dating Taylor Swift with all the drama she causes?
Are you getting married any time soon?
>>106 I'll watch later. Did he ask: Would you like to be excluded from this narrative?
>>107 Yes, but all those flashes kept me from seeing his face!
>>108 No, but he was also asked if he had thought about Kaney and Kim.
>>106 damn that question "so you regret dating Taylor with all the drama she causes?" Ouch! Is this the kind of visibility and attention he wanted?
That wasn't her SUV was it? The driver didn't look like hers.
do* you regret not so
I want a pap to ask "Would you like to be excluded from this narrative?" just once. Okay, I'd like every pap to do it evert time, but I'd be satisfied with just once.
If those are the questions the paps are asking Tom, imagine the feeding frenzy when it'll be Taylor and Tom together. If they're going to do a pap walk later, it'll be those far away ones where his face is blocked and she's grinning. Like last week's LA ones.
>>114 True. Before it was 'is this a publicity stunt?' Now, there's a whole new menu: publicity stunt, relationship as deflection, liar, Kanye, Kim, engagement, defamation suit, etc.
There are so many possibilities now for pap questions. Think anyone will ask about Tom's work? Or notice him!
There's a delicious irony: a man so clearly desirous of attention is going out with a woman who sucks if away from him like a black hole. He's been diminished in many ways by this relationship, most recently being regulated to the role of 'supportive boyfriend.' But the most painful aspect for an attention whore like TH must be the complete focus on TS. He's rather gotten used to playing the leading man and now he's an extra.
CC wasn't enjoyable because she wasn't there; it was enjoyable because he once again was the focus of attention.
>>115 To highlight this, I just clicked through to the comments on the DM article. They're all about TS and the awards. He barely gets a mention on the first few pages.
>>115 Absolutely to your last sentence. Have you seen the clips of him lording it up on the balcony. Loving the attention.
>>115 >>117 Yup. He loved the SDCC bubble because it was all his super fans but outside of it, he's simply a non entity. They don't care about him or his work because paps want juicy gossip and the Taylor Kanye feud is the current hot topic.
I will say though I found Tom and Taylor's parallel flight travels really odd. Her plane landing in NYC a couple of hours after his commercial one. Then her landing in LA a few hours after he did. I've heard Swifties say the NYC one could be Taylor's brother since he goes there more than her. But even if you buy that why didn't her jet just wait to pick him up and bring him to Nashville and the two go together to LA? Is him flying commercial and by himself a move to show he's his own man and that Taylor is not his suga mamma? The flight thing is just too weird.
>>118 Her plane never landed in NYC, the Swifties made that up. Not that it makes it any less weird.
>>119 Oh okay. You're right, that makes it even weirder. If he's going to wait for her anyways, why not just go to Nashville and come with her then hop onto the Oz flight together? We can't argue that he has work stuff that he needed to do in LA before the Oz flight because she landed literally a couple of hours after him last night.
Interesting.

Perfection. This sums up how I feel. I love that the suitcase handle makes it look like he's using a cane. He's picked up her posture - twinning!
A few people on ONTD call him Grandpa Simpson. I can see it here.
http://dlisted.com/2016/07/27/ed-sheeran-might-have-gotten-secret-married/
About Ed SHeeran, but some funny Tayto bits throughout:
"I know a ring on that finger on that hand usually means there’s a 99.9% a person is hitched, but I’m still skeptical that he actually got married. After all, it’s a well-known fact that Taylor Swift is unable to go to a wedding and not make it AAT (All About Taylor). I mean, she made damn sure she was the star of their 1st anniversary. If the Archie to Taylor’s Betty got married, we’d have heard about it. There’s no way Ed Sheeran would have had a wedding without a professional photographer getting at least six dozen pictures of Taylor catching the bouquet (just like she practiced) while her date Tom Hiddleston smiles on the outside/screams internally from the sidelines in an I Heart TS-printed tuxedo."
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIYGjpDAGV8
I can't find the pic, but I'm pretty sure this guy is part of TS's security team in NYC. I could swear he was pictured leading TH to the Met afterparty.
He's as kept a man as can be kept.
LIES. I tell lies. (Damn baby-brain.) I don't think it's him now. But I'm certain he's a bodyguard/driver of some sort. Does anyone recognize him?
TH may still be a kept man!!
>>123 Here is the pic. Hard to say if they are the same person. This guy at the airport looks younger and thinner.
http://hiddleswifts.tumblr.com/post/146226024812/ohsoswiftly-tom-hiddleston-was-spotted
>>125 It doesn't look like the same guy. Besides the weight, their noses don't match.
Yeah, I realized it's not him. but I've seen this guy before. I just can't place him.
It's going to drive me crazy. I'm such a dog with a bone. I'm still mainly known in the office as the woman who went through 400+ satellite images to find one building...that turned out to not be at all important!!
This will probably be the same.
He doesn't look like one of Taylor's. Have one of the Swifties claimed anything? They know all her guards and their names and DOBs and favorite color. If one of the Swifties claims him as one of Taylor's along with an old pic as support then the snake and her spineless bf are still going strong.
Do we think Taylor is manipulative enough to send her plane to LA just to get tongues wagging? Whether or not, she's on it or not. If they've broken up and don't want to announce it yet, would Taylor play that kind of game?
>>129 Yes. Yes she would. Just listen to the things she says on that phone call with Kanye, the way her mind works, and then look at how she ended up turning it around on him anyway. She'd do it, absolutely.
>>129 Not that I know. I just saw the pic on IG and recognized him in a vague sort of way. Now that I'm home, I'm going to give it a few minutes and Google.
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1469655508419.png
Here we go. Much quicker than with the satellite pics but just as meaningless. This is from the Tribeca FF so he's TH's NYC guy, def. security as he walked the fan line with him.
So a few things. Is TH becoming like TS and in constant need of bodyguards? Maybe the guy's a driver too and did TH a solid by carrying his oh so heavy bag into the terminal for him (The VIP handler was carrying his backpack!). TH clearly doesn't want to strain a muscle before the next pap stroll. Also: what color is TH in that pic? The guy is normal, and TH is beigey yellow? Maybe TS can give him some foundation tricks.
TS was just spotted at her gym in Los Angeles, Body by Simone! But still no sign of TH. But it seemed TH was picked up from LAX in one of the black Marvel SUVs, which has a very different silhouette from TS's Toyota Sequoias that she uses on the West Coast. BTW, it looked like TH drove TS's Mom's silver Toyota Sequoia to meet his agent when he was papped in the parking lot, and at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Can anyone confirm this?
FYI, TS's bff model Karlie Kloss is definitely in town in L.A. doing a coding class from July 25- Aug 5th. Those girls are pretty thick and KKs birthday is Aug 3rd, I think. KK also said she as taking time in August to spend time with friends and family. TS and KK could be rendez-vous-ing as well. Maybe they'll all go out together. We'll see...

A blind, so the usual disclaimer. But some of the comments are interesting.
'I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH TOM HIDDLESTON AND SAW THE SIDE OF TAYLOR SWIFTS HEAD'
'His eyes are incredibly dreamy and I nearly fell down the stairs, WHAT A FAB BIRTHDAY'
'@twhiddleston Thank you for the eye contact in a restaurant tonight, I loved everyone millisecond and it made my 16th birthday 😉😂xx'
All from the same tweeter who is possibly trolling but probably saw the happy couple having dinner together while miraculously avoiding photographs. Forgot to call the paps this time or pap photos coming soon...
Remember when we used to worry about THs one loony tweeter who harassed anyone with a theo sighting?
Well within minutes of these tweets, at least 6 insane swifties ruined the party.
So far they have forced her to confirm the sighting was in LA and it was 100% them but despite it being her birthday party she cannot remember the name of the restaurant or what type of food they served so I'm starting to side- eye.
>>136 I'd be surprised if there were no pics. But they've surprised us before.
>>137 She's only 16 so we can't even blame alcohol consumption. She also doesn't remember anything about what Taylor was wearing.
I have never evah been to a restaurant and immediately forgotten what I ate. Am I alone here in calling this a fake?
Photos may still surface but unless they do I don't see how this couple can go unphotographed to a restaurant full of giggly schoolgirls when paps are apparently so hungry for shots.
>>140 Someone called her on it and she says she doesn't want to post the name of the restaurant and "wasn't paying attention to the food."
Unless paparazzi pics show up, I say... FAKE!
Well, she tweeted at him. Would you do that if you were just making it up? What if he responded and said it wasn't him, or if they showed up being pictured elsewhere?
I think they probably did go out for a meal. Let it be a good-bye meal before he heads off (wishful thinking!).
I also think we may get pics. Went they didn't want to get pictured in the wake of Liar-Gate, they seemed to be eating inside the hotel. When they go out...it seems to be for a specific reason.
>>142 Judging by her Twitter she's a Hiddlestoner to some degree. She probably knows he never answers fans anymore. I've seen people @ him before and then have their sightings disproven. They just delete the tweets.
Yes, it's likely that they would meet up once more before he goes to Oz alone (prayer circle!), even if it's just to generate some fan sightings on social media. This just seems so... sketchy.
(Captcha: Thom! Captcha knows who we're talking about!)
>>142 It seems the tweeter is on vacation from the uk, most likely with her parents which makes the sighting slightly more valid- I didn't think TayTo would go to the same restaurant as a group of 16yo's.
If I was a pap in LA I'd be camping outside her house. They are the biggest news story of the moment, it's ludicrous they can sneak around unseen. She was followed to the gym thismorning (but no TH- staying at the hotel again??).
Praying it's a good- bye meal too!
>>144 He's always staying at hotels. I'm honestly starting to wonder if maybe he is gay. Maybe the Tom/Luke conspiracy theorists are getting to me. Or maybe all the tinfoil is disrupting my normal brain function.
https://twitter.
com/FANdemoniumNet/status/758513421440647168
It's real- photo proof
Pic!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIZByabhTnp/
Doesn't look particularly "cozy" or "loved-up" even though I'm sure the tabloids will describe it that way tomorrow.
So what exactly is Fandemonium Net? Where did they get this picture?
>>150 My guess is this pic was taken by the tweeter but she didn't want the shit that goes with posting it and a pushy Swiftie grabbed it off her. I saw one pressuring her to dm
>>148 Yeah cozy NOT. It's hardly hand- holding distance.
Is she deliberately sitting at an obtuse angle to avoid being seen? If so, TH should try a little harder not to be so obvious- that's the one leaf you should take out of her book,TH!
>>151 When they arrived in Los Angeles from Oz we got pics of TS with Tom's hidden, now before one or both of them leave Los Angeles to go back to Oz we get a pic of Tom with her face hidden.
Coincidence? High priestess of the tinfoil shrine doesn't think so.
>>152 "High Priestess of the Tinfoil Shrine", I worship you!
Have you noticed our prayer circle made it onto TOD? Coincidence or not
>>153 Yes! I saw that!
All are welcome in the prayer circle. Join us. Pray for Tom's soul. And career.
Lord have mercy.
Ugh. He must really be like her to keep at this. I'm really hoping this is a goodbye dinner and it's over now. But who the fuck knows. I really didn't think Tom would still choose to be with her after seeing how she really is.
PR team moved FAST!
http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-super-into-themselves-la-date
Sources and everything!
>>156 So fast, it's almost like it was... planned in advance.
>>155 With all her faults she's still an A+ popstar and most likely the best score of his life so he's probably willing to ignore the fact she's a fibber and a bit racist cause he still can't believe his luck.
He's a famewhore and she's famous.
http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-super-into-themselves-la-date
Well that was quick getting quotes from sources. No pap shots though so they must have snuck in and out under the radar (holding hands).
I'm predicting hand- holding LAX pics within the hour on their way back to Oz
Putting my psychic tinfoil hat on
Tom will wear blue jeans, grey suede shoes and a blue jacket
TS will matchy match with hideous soccer mum hair
>>158 We always knew he was thirsty for fame though but I always thought he wanted to earn it through his work. Be famous for his work. Not for who he's dating. What's bugging most fans including me is how fake everything he said turned out to be. Everything he said he stood for, Taylor is the opposite of that. That's what's really bothersome. That he lied exactly the way she lies. I always thought he was a nice decent guy. But obviously not.
>>158 Oh, given what we know about her long history of manipulation, I now think that she spotted an easy target. I don't think she even needed to work very hard to land this fish. She has everything TH seems to crave as far as fame, popularity, lifestyle, success. He must have been a puppy from the very start, which we've seen.
Not to relieve TH of any agency; he obviously wanted the relationship and was more than willing to go along with whatever she wanted: family pap stroll, constant pap strolls, lurve tour 2016. And he did it in order to keep her sweet.
I think we've been waiting for TH to get tired of her like most of her other bfs. Ain't going to happen. If they split, I think it will be her decision.
Welp...shit (to quote the peanut-brained director)
I was expecting this, because by logic you can't go on record about how happy and together and AUTHENTIC you are and then break-up, but I was still hoping.
Even if I basically accepted that he is the kind of person that would stay with TS, I was still hoping.
That dinner looks as romantic as a chewing-gum stuck under your shoe.
>>163 Well they did go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Nashville. It's just a chain as well, and not a very good one (overpriced with mediocre food) and equally unromantic.
I want to see the bodyguards set up two tables over.
Remind me again why they aren't eating at fancy H'wood eateries? Oh yes, Her Boyfriend is picking up the tab. Surely if they go out as infrequently in public as it appears, he could splurge, right?
>>166 Maybe it's the classic cheap- arse dumping dinner. Boyfriends never splurge when there's one foot out the door.
We can definitely rule out an engagement. He's pulling out none of the stops to impress.
>>165 I think the restaurant they went to in the Gold Coast was a bit middle of the road too but at least they had a 'chef'
Is their relationship the Hollywood equivalent of an well employed woman dating an unemployed bum who can't afford to pick up his portion of the tabs let alone cover the meals so you end up eating in dives to make him feel better which becomes excruciatingly uncomfortable for both of you (yes I may have been in this situation before).
Okay, here's new information: "It's reported that Tom is in the states to film Thor."
Even though this is dated for Thursday morning, the pictures are obviously from Wednesday.
This could legitimately be studio work in LA (voiceover, special set for secret scene) for Thor.
He's not that badly off. I know he isn't earning millions but his tax company has nearly £400k in it. A trip to Nobu wouldn't kill him.
It seems an odd choice for him because I read somewhere about a year ago from a costume designer or some such that he takes very good care of himself. It sounds kind of unhealthy. Also I would have thought that if they genuinely wanted private a better restaurant would have been more so. you see plenty of celebs in nice places in London and people don't photograph them inside the restaurant.
Maybe she just likes ribs and diner type fast food.
>>169 That sounds weird. Surely voice work would be done in a studio in Australia unless it was being done months later after the end of principal photography?
I wonder if the DM is just trying to find an explanation for the fact that he is STILL in LA. Maybe he had a week off. I would be amazed if he didn't soon head back to Australia soon - 2 weeks of filming would surely result in seconds of usable footage, so his role would be blink and you'll miss it. I find it very hard to believe that Marvel has put him in for such a short time. His role is the most anticipated part of Thor 3 (as it was for TDW, when they put more footage of him in). None of the fans give a monkey's about the Hulk. I can't believe Marvel would get it so badly wrong.
>>168 There's not much he can do for the film minus the director and the rest of the cast from another continent. I think they're just trying to explain his absence from set.
I'm not at all excited by Little Hiddles here. I think I'm nearly cured (insert another picture of TayTo with THs mum).
Since I'm way too lazy to check myself, who feels up to being totally anal and comparing the background to previous LA pap shots. Is he in the vicinity of his hotel or is this where he was sighted facelessly walking with his one true love the night of their arrival?
>>169 >>171 Voice work is usually saved for the completion of principle photography.
The only possible option here is a solo greenscreen scene which I'm positive the director would prefer to be present while filming with his trusted crew and own direction. I doubt they flew over his Loki costume and wig to shoot one scene which they could shoot in Oz.
I think he was exaggerating at CC when stating how desperately he had to be back on set. CC was organised way before any film scheduling and was most likely built into his original contract. If he doesn't have a hectic shoot schedule (and I doubt he does) it's not that big a deal to give him the whole week off.
>>168 If anyone is curious, he's staying at the same Four Seasons hotel again. Compare these to the scenery of the pics where he's walking, obviously finishing his run. He's about to round the corner into the drop-off area.
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1469702890368.jpg
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1469702940594.jpg
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1469702982282.jpg
This also reminded me that TH debunked this rumour during the press tour in April - of course he said a lot of shit around that time, but at least about work maybe he still isn't bullshitting all the time.
(Before anyone thinks a lurker stole my screenshots from >>174, I submitted them to The Opinion Dominion myself.)
Look everyone, I'm tumblr famous! Sort of. Not really.
>>174 This hotel thing is so curious, I mean generally it'd be normal, but they spent 4 weeks basically living together. More evidence to the PR nature of this circus.
Not wrapped: http://twh-news.tumblr.com/post/148094816516/so-tom-has-not-yet-wrapped-his-scenes-for-thor
Director must be desperate to change the narrative back to the movie.
>>179 not wrapped but clearly not needed on set with urgency.
>>174 >>177 Thanks Anonsy- taking one for the team there.
>>178 It's not at all normal to stay in a hotel after only spending two days apart for two months.
Unless you're 'taking a break' or you still haven't had sex or you're one of those people who can't share a bed with an so (or you're faking it).
>>181 I agree, sorry I expressed myself badly, I meant that for a new couple it'd be normal not to live together yet, but given how they spent their time since it all started, it is as you say.
>>182 On the same page then. I could kindof see TH as the type to need his own bed.
They really are the odd couple.
They don't do anything normally or convincingly let alone authentically.
Are they just eccentric?
>>183 I think they are the antithesis of eccentric. TS doesn't do anything that hasn't been planned and checked with whatever is trendy, TH not only isn't really up to speed with modern times he is quite repetitive in very boring ways. 2 eccentrics would have tied the knot already.
One more reason not to stand TayTo, they made me watch an interview with Cara Whathername
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2GuDlpolQ
Sounds like they were at least staying in the same bedroom in RI.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU2GuDlpolQ
Cara D on Corden talking about ghost pranking at Taymurica. Mentions waking up Tom and Tay and TH is a hopeless night manager.
Seems they used to sleep in the same bed.. there's hope on the horizon!
>>184 They really are projecting as a couple of bores.
>>187 hahaha it's the prayer circle, we are one mind.
>>188 I think we've become a hive; the hive of the high priestesses of the temple of foil
>>177 hahaha
I think we should be happy that the source was not revealed. Otherwise 90% of tumblr would move here and we wouldn't want that.
As I said, if they go out...there are pics. They can't help themselves.
A week off of light filming is much more likely, yes. Or meetings at the hotel or VO for something completely different (SI? another book reading?).
>>192 They really can't be okay with just fan pics. They need to have professional pap pics. Because the relationship must play out in the public eye.
My opinion of Tom is completely done because he's continuing to be with someone like Taylor who has been outted as a complete liar and manipulator. I can't even give him any benefit of the doubt anymore because the kind of man Tom made himself out to be before, that man would not continue being with someone like Taylor after all her true colors have come out. Unless he's really naive and she's manipulating him too. But I don't believe he's that naive. He's enjoying the attention and is loving every second of it. He's more like her than I could've thought.
Sorry I've become very disillusioned by him and have all lost respect for him.
OMG! TH is so busy smiling to get his own image out there with the cameras in the E! News video at the restaurant door of Hillstone, that TH misses the darn door completely and walks the wrong way! That man loves a photo op. And Taylor had to yank him back to the entrance! Hysterical. Then on the way out, since TH has his glasses case in his hand, TS had to open her own car door, on an allegedly 'romantic' dinner date! Wild!
They're out and about to be seen by professional cameras who were tipped off, so the same game continues. If they wanted to be private and get to know each other more, they would cook a yummy dinner at her place and chat over wine, away from all of the public. Hoping he heads back to Australia alone, and that TS has plans with KK in August. Still lighting a candle for TH. I still have faith for some reason.
http://hiddleswifts.tumblr.com/post/...n-santa-monica
The E! news video.
>>191 In the first pic he looks happier than I looked in my wedding photos. He is loving the attention.
In the second pic they look like a couple of 40 year olds out on the town.
Who wears black velvet in LA in July? Where does she get these crazy outfits? I do not look in the windows of Bond Street and see a black velvet crop top/shorts combo. It's an outfit for a 15 year old designed by someone who is 50.
>>197 There's a video floating around. He's laughing because he walked past the entrance to the restaurant. Before that happens he has his usual "hostage situation Tom" bug-eyed pressed smile on.
There were paps waiting for them at a chain restaurant. I'd wager a month's mortgage payment (remember I live in NYC!) that those paps were called. And it was stupid of these two because you can explain away paps in front of Trendy LA Restaurant X, but not in front of a slightly more upscale Chili's.
This has descended into farce. We're not going to forget you lied, Tay. We're not going to forget the t-shirt, Tommy.
I am going to sound like a total snob now, but they look so budget. Cheap outfits, cheap restaurant, cheap pap stroll. At least when Clooney released fakely candid pics of their engagement dinner to People they were nicely dressed and posed and it actually was at Nobu. But TayTo are not very aspirational (to anyone older than 12).
