Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
Sadly this emanates from HL and it is presumptively bullshit (TS I worked TH while making TNM...errr!!) but it is too joyous not to post:
>>601 "There is no time for outside drama on a night that might never happen again for him." Shadey shade!
>>601 The author is correct: Vance's name should already be on that statuette. I binged the TPvOJ and even CGJr's hammy acting was on point. TNM was very good, excellent at times, but OJ was a strange combination of actors that added up to perfection.
I word-searched the page for 'veranda' and there wasn't even ONE instance of it; I thought it was a MURACULE. But then I remembered Anon mentioning that she of the veranda had abandoned it in favor of insulting TS. Will no one think of the veranda!!??
>>603 They did learn to use emojis recently so there's been a lot of...that. It kinda makes me miss the veranda.
>>603 They may spell it "verandah".....?
You know how I feel about TPVOJS. I have banged on about this before. It started a few weeks ahead of TNM on British TV. One night after watching Ep2 of TNM we watched the first episode of OJ (hubs had read a New Yorker review and wanted to give it a try). Then we watched the second....and the third.....and the fourth. We were utterly gripped - and I say that as two lawyers who rarely if ever watch legal dramas (except the Good Wife - for the shoes, and because I heart Diane). TNM was not flattered by the comparison.
>>602 It's harsh but true. It's his first US award nom. And it's been a bit dry for other 'major' award noms/wins: Olivier in 2008, ES in 2014. He's just not doing the work that get serious award noms/winds. Twitter was alive with congrats for his recent TV Choice award, but talk about nothing to write home about!
Shame this nom was sullied by the summer's shenanigans. An 'I <3 TS' wife-beater and Emmy nom should be mutually exclusive.
I wonder now if he'll go. The spa visit could be in preparation for it. He may have been coy before because he didn't want to answer questions about who his date would be, knowing full well that the relationship with TS had a pre-determined end date.
>>606 Hey, he did get "serious award wind" for ISTL...
>>607 HA! Fast fingers, faulty brain!
It gave audiences serious wind...and TH was up his own ass about it... before every critic sharted all over it.
>>606 It has been a huge summer of miscalculation for him and his "team".
Even if it was real, it was incredibly badly managed from a PR perspective - how we laughed at the ineptness of PurseGateGate, but little did we know! Ok, so you really, really lurve each other, but as O. Wilde memorably observed, stop washing your clean linen in public.
If it was fake, then oh boy. It has so overshadowed a nomination I would have said he was a shoe-in for anyway. With that dire narrative in the background, the RC was only ever going to be "TayTo comes out/TS won't walk the RC with him".
And now it will be "Sad Tom puts on brave face as he flaunts gym honed body on the red carpet after breakup with Taylor Swift".
>>609 That headline is generous. I predict the following:
If he shows up: Taylor Swift's ex casts a lonely figure on the Emmy RC
If he loses:
If he wins: Taylor Swift hits the gym as ex wins award
This picture reminds me of how much of a neglected nerd this boy is. The picture is, of course, from the night of the Met Ball, when the head cheerleader paid attention to him. He's wetting himself with long-delayed teenage joy. Sadly, the head cheerleader is an asexual, manipulative, dishonest snake.
This night needs a Quantum Leap fix like few others in the fandom. I'd also Quantum Leap Korea's Dancing with the Nerds (TH edition) and the night he broke up with Ave JArthy.
>>603 Oh hell yeah the Best Actor Emmy belongs to Vance. I too binged on after watching TNM and it was hard to turn off. I'm currently rewatching TNM (I'm on Ep. 6) and except for Episode 3 (which I lovingly refer to as Tom Hollander's forgotten Emmy reel) the show was too hit or miss scene-wise to match TPvOJS.
>>612 TNM felt like a triumph of style over substance. Great titles (also got nominated!), beautiful locations, quality cast - but the script wasn't that good. And on second watching TH wasn't that good either. I was fooled by the endless appearances of the Hiddlesbum!
I have sad before I think that TPVOJS was the best evocation I have ever seen of what it is like to be a trial lawyer in a big trial. There were so many times I thought, that is exactly what it is like. I think people who don't know the world still feel that authenticity and respond to it. I strongly doubt that TNM represents the experience of MI6 operatives, or anything like it. Plus of course TPVOJS made a story to which we all know the end utterly gripping. The last episode, I swear I thought he was going to get convicted.
>>612,613 I agree, TNM had a beautiful package and some nice scenes, but overall a terrible script that made the characters unrealistic and the story stupid and it didn't benefit from the update to modern times. TH was stiff and awkward in it.
I've still to watch TPVOJS, but if you all say it's great I hope it wins big. I've just binged watched Narcos and at the end of season 2 I thought that Boyd Holbrook would have made a great TNM (that's mean but who cares)
You should keep in mind that in the novel Pine is often referred to as the "close observer". He observes quietly and when he acts he does it also quietly. He uses his brain, not his muscles. He needs to show a poker face all the times, never show what he's feeling or thinking. I think Tom did a great job. It's not easy to act that restrained and expressionless.
sorry about the typos. "All the time" instead of "all the times".
>>613 Anon: Having sat as the foreman on the civil suit proceedings of a murder trial, I'm glad mine was lowkey in comparison to TPvOJS. We were not sequestered, thankfully.
>>614 Couch: during the TNM rewatch I was able to see what you initially said back in March or so when you said TH's acting suffered because he looked like he wanted convicted to or convinced of what he was doing. It was the expression, or lack of it on his face in so many scenes. Exhibit A: Poolside with Corky, Jonathan Pine looks at him while squinting with his mouth partially open, not steely-gazed like Bond. I also blame the direction. The only thing that saved the scene was the shot of his ass as he turned around to face Jed on the other side of the pool.
>>615 As someone who read the book in 2 different languages, TH's Pine is nothing like the original. Pine in the book doesn't smile continuously like a salesman, for instance. TH did an awkward job, whether the fault was his or not is irrelevant. And I think people misunderstand what a poker face is supposed to be, a person under cover is not a person that never makes faces and keep smiling awkwardly. The Americans (the tvshow) is a better example of what under cover is actually supposed to be like.
>>617 You just couldn't buy TH's Pine, he didn't look like a former military nearing his 40s. He wasn't smooth and poised, he was permanently corrugated or smiling sheepishly. He looked like someone who had no idea of what he was doing but was happy he was given fancy suits, in a fancy house with a fancy girl...Basically TH's summer (that's also mean but it's one of those days).
>>618 I agree. I know it is hard to play a part where the character has to conceal his feelings from others. But (for example) Alec Guinness did a brilliant job of being one of Le Carre's inscrutable and all-seeing spies in Tinker Tailor and in Smiley's People. He is a flawless example of how to appear to other characters to do nothing or give nothing away and yet to convey to the audience what he is thinking. There were whole scenes in those series where he didn't speak a word of dialogue and yet his facial expressions told a whole story. It was a consummate performance and those series set a very high bar as to how to do Le Carre. Unfortunately TNM didn't in my view live up to them.
>>616,620 Yes exactly - Tinker Tailor and Smiley's (both the series and movie remake) had great examples of how to be a spy. Didn't Tom watch those? Did Susanne Bier? Savvy I guess to me he did not show his poker face enough.
>>617 should have said:
"...TH's acting suffered because he looked like he wasn't convicted to or..."
Sun article. Celebrity stylist of K Kloss says that the Hiddleston/Swift pairing was always doomed b/c they could never be a normal couple, and TH was just part of the TS show. And even though the people around TH were initially very excited about TH being seen with TS at first, their fans, esp Swifties, hated the idea of the pairing, that their reputations just kept taking hits from all sides. Truth. Can't believe that he blamed the Swiftie fans, though! They seem to want to believe anything positive in the press about TS. Plus, Did anyone see David Duchovony call TS the queen of the publicity stunt on twitter, in reaction to her walking with Zayn and his Gigi as they romantically hold hands with an iphone between them? Ouch.
He should miss out on the Emmy for that annoying laugh he did throughout the series. God, I hated it. I HATED it. It should go into Room 101 along with that stupid pose he always does.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed TNM. It was great entertainment, and TH did a very good job; sure he's no Alec G., but who is?! There was eye candy, some very short love scenes, and TH trying to be tough, which was sometimes cringe-y but also sexy on occasion. But in comparison to Vance, well, there ain't no comparison.
I don't know how Emmy submissions work but if he was made to pick only one episode for consideration and he picked either episode 2 or 3 (the one that starts with the birthday party for Apo's daughter), then he may be in a better position than if someone had watched the whole series. There's very little annoying laughter, and I recall his acting being better overall. His hair was especially good! That's got to win a few votes!
No clicks for The Sun who first brought this monster to our poor eyes!!
TAYLOR Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s relationship was always doomed to fail due to the fact that the pair couldn’t be “normal” and that the fans just didn’t like it.
Celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch – a close friend of Taylor’s best friend Karlie Kloss, has opened up about why the under pressure relationship ending comes as no surprise to those who know Taylor.
“There was too much pressure, including from Taylor’s fans who didn’t take to it,” Phillip told Now magazine.
“It wasn’t a normal relationship. Tom’s a guy on the up and it was a good look for him, and the people around him were happy for it to happen, but there was no doubt about it, he was in the Taylor show.
“She’s always been the much bigger star and it was very much about her.”
Taylor, 26, and 35-year-old Tom called quits on their romance which dominated the headlines in June, last week, and Phillip explains how the relationship wasn’t as great for their images as they’d initially hoped it would be.
“For a while it looked good for both of them, but then it went the opposite way and they both ended up getting a lot of flak.”
“There was talk that the relationship wouldn’t last because of how it was being handled and I definitely saw the split coming.
“It wasn’t a surprise to those in the know. Ultimately their relationship couldn’t be ‘normal’.”
>>624 I don't think it was so much that fans 'didn't like it.' Plenty did, especially hers - or in the case of some at CB: pretended to like it and did support it. The problem was that so many people either doubted it or just didn't believe it was real. And the relationship couldn't be 'normal' because they decided not to be normal.
I don't know if this comes from a camp, but fuck them if they're trying to put this on fans, even her delusional fans!
>>623 Thinking man and that weird soundless laugh then eheheh. Yes, those are for room 101. So are the gratuitous "thinking about things while lying shirtless in bed with the covers pulled down to my pubes" scenes. I don't like being played.
Okay. Apparently CelebNow magazine has come out to throw Tom under the bus, stating that he teased TS because she didn't read books or know Latin, and bragged to her team about his Cambridge degree. And he left her "stranded" w/o a key outside of a gym, and left her waiting while he was a on set. I think that is just having a job : )Anyway, she claimed that he was a control freak trying to run her life!
Anyway, Closer mags came out for Tom, and says that he got cold feet a month ago b/c of her PR seeking antics, and the reputation hit he took for looking ridiculous, as if he was a puppet for her team. Anyway, he said he wanted changes after Australia trip together, she flew off the handle and said he wasn't as a committed, and thought that the Emmy invite was just for his PR. Then they fought on the phone and Tom ended it, and she leaked the split to the press. All BS, but fun.
lifestyle.one/closer/
>>627 Urrrrggggghhhhhh. Are these leaks? Are these PR narratives? I can't tell anymore because no one is winning at this point, no one's reputation is being rehabilitated.
If you are leaking: STOP, Tayto. Just STOP. So many are side-eyeing you, so many are disgruntled. Don't.make.us.hate.you.
>>628 Too late for many, including me.
What in the hell would make someone print such abusive nonsense? What was it that he told her 'No' to that made her become so vindictive? Or, Tree?

Tom will be presenting at the Emmys.
Good. It's a chance for some redemption while taking a painful ribbing from everyone, getting some of the jokes out of the way and moving forward.
>>631 Look at the consolation prize! That's going to be FUN.
>>631 So when he said he wasn't going to be leaving Queensland any time soon, that was another lie. I do wish he would be a bit - what's the phrase? - more non-committal?
More honest?
I know we now know that when he opens his mouth he tells lies ("it's not a publicity stunt", "I don't smoke"), but it is still a bit wearing.
>>634 I think perhaps to him "not leaving Queensland" = not done with filming, "I don't smoke" = he doesn't smoke heavily or regularly, and so on. He probably doesn't see it as lying, even though it comes off that way to a lot of people.
>>635 Almost forgot, contracted acting job as Very Happy Boyfriend to Taylor Swift = "not a publicity stunt."
It does make one wonder about other times he's potentially skated around the truth. "Definitely hetero" comes to mind.
>>631 A braver man than I. I don't know if the writers/host will go easy on him. They may; perhaps it's an unwritten rule in HW that Emmy writers don't openly mock Emmy nominees. I've never watched the Emmys so I don't know how cutthroat they are with their references or jokes. Any consequences from this summer may be kept away from the cameras and hidden from our view, instead going on BTS with producers, directors, casting agents, etc.
You would think he'd be embarrassed/nervous to have to look fellow actors in the eye knowing that they know that he's just enjoyed a summer of terribly cringe-y stunting. But his self-awareness and sense of shame seem as suspect as his authenticity.
>>639 I think operation shameless damage control takes precedence which means lurching on to the only accolade he has and going full throttle.
Apparently Kimmel stated TH is not fair game for his ridicule now that TayTo have split. In other words if Tay had accompanied him he would have been ruthless.
Now that's a pity but I agree the shade needs to be thrown at both equally rather than TH alone.
>>634 After the antics of this summer nobody should ever take anything TH says on record seriously. He's a read between the lines kinda man with a shady circumference
>>635 I think that's called lying by omission.
>>639 I take his presence as a sign of the nothingness that awaits for him after Thor3. From what I read, A-list actors very often don't even attend the Emmys, even if they know they'll win. He is probably going to use this for networking, trying to sell the idea that the serious "I'm not interested in the circus of being a celebrity" "Some things are sacred" thespian is still there.
>>640 That's a pity, he could at least do something like Colbert or Corden did, it's still recent enough to be fun. Still, TH can't control what he'd be asked on the RC so I cross fingers there'll be something entertaining to watch.
>>641 I respect Kimmel for that. If he is proceeding on the basis that it was a real relationship, then it would be a shitty thing to mock a guy who just split up with his GF.
>>641 And yes I totally agree he may have nothing in the diary after Thor 3 hence he will currently go to the opening of an envelope. I think he is going to be hanging around my hood a lot come November.
>>642 By that logic it would have been rude to mock them if they were still together. Anyway, it's not like he has to slam him, but TH earned a few jokes at his expense after these past 4 months.
>>641 I agree. He's business networking and hoping to use the cache of the Emmy nod to acquire a leading man role with a wonderful script. His resume is great and he has a cerebral presence. If the monkey movie lands well, in addition to Thor 3 (Marvel movies don't fail), I think that 2017 could be a comeback year for him. If not a film, then another prestigious tv film like TNM, for an Emmy win. And more Shakespeare like Much Ado, or R2. He probably needs a crisis PR team though. Hollywood seems to have the attention span of a knat. Honestly, with his training and ability to play character parts, he could probably be in top tier ensemble films for a while till he finds the right leaning man role. Colin Firth did that for a long time with Shakespeare in Love and the English Patient. Then he got Pride and Prejudice, then Bridget Jones, then A Single Man and the King's Speech. He should think more about the journey and not the now, I think. But I'm not a pro : )
>>644 I think it's different to tease someone who is in a relationship and is as far as you know happy and secure, and teasing someone who just split and maybe got dumped. Wonder what Kimmel will actually do.
>>646 I see a difference too, but I suppose in my view if someone thinks a relationship is real than I find mean to mock it because I don't like mocking something that is good. While if a relationship was created for PR purposes and to manipulate people's perception of you, than you are fair game.
Of course one doesn't need to be offensive, in TH's case even a simple "I read you had a busy summer of love, do you heart the Emmys?" would be enough to embarrass him.
And it begins. During Emmy week no less. Will she drop the single on Emmy night lol
FIRST LISTEN Is Taylor Swift’s new song about ex Calvin Harris or Tom Hiddleston?
Snapchat video reveals a snippet from the studio
BY CHLOE KERR
15th September 2016, 3:59 pm
COULD this be Taylor Swift’s next hit single?
An alleged sneak peek of her latest song has been posted to Snapchat showing a 10 second snippit from inside the recording studio.
The clip was posted by Kelsea Bellerini, who is co-writing Taylor’s new song.
In the video, someone who sounds like Taylor can be heard singing the lyrics: “We didn’t know it, thought we could grow it.
“Beautiful for a moment, we were roses.”
It seems as though Taylor is doing what she does best, and drawing on her own experiences for her sixth studio album.
The Blank Space singer has gone through two public breakups this year with a tumultuous split with DJ Calvin Harris in June after 15-months together.
She moved on with actor Tom Hiddleston a few weeks later, but the pair sensationally split after three months.
After a dramatic year, only time will tell which former flame the singer is talking about.
Best friend GiGi Hadid revealed during New York Fashion Week that Taylor was back in the studio penning her 1989 follow up album.
Gigi told ET Online: “She’s obviously such a great friend, and you know she is starting to go back to work in the studio again, and really made time to be here for me, and I am so grateful for that.”
>>648 Kelsea Ballerini has already knocked this rumor down, "in clarification to prior tweets, Kelsea is in the studio recording her second album. These recording sessions have had nothing, nor will they have anything to do with Taylor Swift." She like this tweet, so its true, thank goodness. No more drama.
>>649 That's so odd. Because the audio sounds exactly like Taylor. Is she saying the song has nothing to do with Taylor and it's a collab or that it's not Taylor's voice on the song? Because if it's the latter that's a stretch because it's definitely Taylor's voice.
Kelsea Ballerini liked this tweet confirming that she is not working on new music with Taylor after fan speculation. It's on her twitter update page KBUpdates @KelseaonTour, so its legit.
>>651 lol I think her friend messed up and is now backtracking. It sounds exactly like Taylor. But oh well I guess the "official" statement is its not Taylor. Until we find out later that it is Taylor and Kelsea gets kicked out of the squad for not teasing the song the way Taylor wanted it.
>>650 Kelsea also just liked a pic on protectingSwift on Instagram again confirming it’s KELSEAS song and not Taylor’s. So we can believe it. Yay.
>>653 After what she pulled with Calvin and that this is what you came for song and had him say all he said about the son while they were together, yeah sorry I'm not buying what she's selling. A few months down the line we'll see drama about it probably. Just to clarify I'm not saying the song is about Tom but it's definitely Taylor's vocals on that clip.
>>652 These girls are too silly. TS and her rogue squad members can create drama where there is no drama. The wording of nor will have nothing to do with Taylor Swift is a pretty hard line denial though. How will they get out of that lie? How did TH somehow go from Shakespeare and the West End to high school antics and reality tv drama?
This is ridiculous, but I remembered Anon description at the time and it made me smile.
"Taylor Swift dumped dishy actor Tom Hiddleston after realising what her future life would be like on the Suffolk coast.
The celebrity couple spent time in the county visiting his family, but multi-award winning singer Taylor, 26, was aghast when she saw what her boyfriend would turn into.
A pal told the Suffolk Gazette: “There were old people everywhere. All the men wore a uniform of red trousers and Tweed or Barbour jackets, and played golf. She felt sickened.” [...]"
http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston/
>>656 LOL Ran screaming from the red trousers, huh? Looks like she's gone in the opposite direction, because the new rumor is she's picking up with young actor Zac Efron, about whom I know nothing: http://dlisted.com/2016/09/15/taylor-swifts-next-boyfriend-might-be-zac-efron/
>>657 So many chuckles on this post. Especially this 'to do' list:
http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/4258/1224/original.jpg
Not that IG unfollows are exciting any more but that account that I attributed to TH as his private account unfollowed another person days after the split.
This account never unfollowed anyone until Tayto. There was a spate just after SDCC (which I now believe was the breakup) and now he has unfriended one more.
>>658 Tom Cruise! Maybe being audited by the Co$ will cause her to wake up from her infantile bubble, she'll run screaming (again!) and the Co$ will declare her a 'hostile being' or whatever they call the rest of us.
>>659 She belongs in the Co$. I just rewatched the Southpark episode where Tom Cruise is tapped in the closet with John Travolta and R Kelly and the only person missing was TS
>>658 Do you mean this account also followed TS and unfollowed her now or after SDCC? Or that this account had first followed and then unfollowed people related to TS?
>>661 The account is on complete lockdown. I can't see who it's following so there's a chance I have it wrong but as I mentioned a few threads ago I watched it very carefully during the filming of SI and it was liking posts of obscure crew members with no fan followers and less than a handful of 'likers'.
Someone else on here mentioned they think they've found his private account and it's different so really who knows.
I said I'd mention when there was any changes to the follows/ unfollows but I'm nervous of sharing the account details due to our unhinged lurkers. If there was a way to PM I'd be happy to.
>>661 No, don't worry, I forgot that you said it was private, somehow I thought it was public, but since I don't have instagram I can't see the follows anyway, that's why I asked. It's no big deal.
>>663 The public account is a snooze, much like this private account which was mostly stagnant until TayTo.

Snapped with a fan, a phone, a fake smile and a coffee today.
>>664 Still in Australia! I thought he had already left for LA.
>>665 Flights are usually late evening. I'd expect a sighting in about an hour if he is leaving tonight. TH has managed to quite literally fly unnoticed since splitting with TS which is not suspicious at all
>>666 hahaha I'm curious to see if paps will approach him at LAX.
Meanwhile, the snake slithers over to the next victim:

Taylor Swift and Zac Efron are reportedly DATING!
Fri-16-Sep-16 07:04
Well that was faaaaaaaast...
Has Tay Tay moved on from Tom Hiddleston ALREADY???
Well according to this new report, she has...
Taylor Swift, 26, has apparently set her sights on Zac Efron (28), just weeks after her break up with Tom Hiddleston.
A close source told In Touch magazine that Taylor has been telling friends that she's ready to move on from Tom, with ZAC!!!
"She's always said she feels a strong connection to Zac, but could never act on it because they've always been dating other people."
"Taylor and Zac have always been pretty flirty with each other," the source added.
"She's reached out to Zac and told him that they should hang out and maybe go to dinner together, and he's into it. It just hasn't happened yet because of their schedules."
Both Taylor and Zac are single at the moment, so who knows what could happen...
>>670 He's 5'8" so I expect a collection of flats to be worn until this contract is over, and of course she'll pick out his Christmas gift from him.
Also, the tabloids are feeding up a Belated Happy April Fools Day!
wink
He was spotted behind stage at the Emmys:
https://twitter
.com/MangoMonkeyBoy/status/777294435969150976
Tweet text:
Stood next to Tom Hiddleston a few minutes ago, he is the coolest dude. I understand the appeal the ladies have for him now. #workadventures
(further down in the tweet thread he said he was backstage at rehearsals and ran into him while taking a break, has a great smile)
He is at the pre- Emmys party (pics 39 and 41). It is a fact that every man in these pics apart from Courtney Vance looks 850 years old (and most of the women except America Ferrera).
>>675 And Kitt Herrington. But look, TH managed to make it through LAX without being papped! Is Tina Fey part of the presenters? Because given her past spat with TS...
>>676 Of course Taylor's crazy fans will say that it was only because of the association with her that TH was papped at airports. Which is also bullshit because she has been flyin around since they broke up without any pics.
>>678 Pfft, they say that TH's stans say that to was all her fault. In their insistence that their favourites are genuine people, TS's fans and TH's stans are identical.
>>679 *it was all her fault
>>675 Was just coming in to post this. Also, Torrilla's got all the pics up.
>>677 A couple of mentions already about matching up those TH and PC and making TS 'jealous.' Apparently TS was invited to attend one of the parties, so there's speculation among some of her stans ("I won't believe they really broke up until she posts it on her IG/TW! He made her look so happy!!!) that she may show up to be with TH. They haven't gotten the memo...
>>681 I"'d say it is pretty apparent from her IG that she has broken up with TH. Her posting frequency has gone right back up since the news came out - she posted maybe 15 pics during the "relationship", none of which was of him, whereas in the last week she has posted 5 or 6. For whatever reason it looks like she was on an almost social media moratorium, which ended very promptly with the end of TayTo.
>>658 Speaking of IG I found this detective work by Anonon very interesting (about the private IG account that is possibly his). Rumour has it that he has a private Facebook account as well. I did take a look for that using a few educated guesses, but never came up with anything.
>>682 Maybe it was part of their agreement - no couple photos on social media, mutual follows only. Makes the clean up after the scheduled breakup that much easier.
>>684 That is exactly what I had in mind but didn't express very well.
Did we ever find out who this guy is? We've seen him at SDCC, Oz and now the Emmys. My hope is he's Luke's replacement; more likely: a special consultant on 'fixing absolute clusterfucks,' which suggests they knew it was an absolute clusterfuck circa SDCC - while most had called it by the Selena Gomez concert (the rest following suit somewhere around T-shirt Gate).
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1474253767543.png
http://4-ch.net/img/src/1474253800614.png
Low likelihood: TH's real date to the Emmys.
>>686 Yes the pingy dude that goes everywhere with him and even seems to live with him on set and go out for dinner dates.
I'd like to think he's the Hollywood version of a mafia 'cleaner' but it seems something more.
Here's a completely unpredictable article that I never saw coming...
There are so many parallels with the articles following the Met of the Swifty flirts I can't help feeling like we're being set up for another season of stunts.
>>687 I just feel like someone is trying very hard to convince me of something, you know? Tom Hiddleston, Heterosexual Male!
>>688 This is what I'm thinking.
I also can't stand shaved solid beard lines, it's up there with excessive use of hair gel and ponytails. Such men alway have far too many opinions on fashion
I was I'd wake up to infinite posts (not here) of TNM winning everything because (according to TH's stans at CB) TH has the Emmy and was the presenting the last and most prestigious award, instead he presented Outstanding Directing and TNM won nothing.
What's worse, from your comments I'm guessing there were no funny jokes at TH's expense. Meh.
>>690 It would explain the willingness of his mother and sister to participate in the stunting over the summer. If one of my close family members asked me to do that pap walk purely for PR visibility, I'd decline. If that family member was a very closeted actor and was trying to keep a heterosexual image in order to keep his career from dying, I'd consider helping him out.
It's speculation of course, but if the pattern that started with EO and escalated with TS continues...
>>687 I read that Priyanka Chopra has a reputation of going after married men. Or at least she did while she was working in India.
Not going to be surprised in the least when Tom and Priyanka come out as a couple by next week eyeroll
>>691 Suzanne Bier won for "outstanding direction of TH'a arse" - really, a travesty as that was not a madly well directed series.
I correct myself immediately, Susanne Bier won the Outstanding Directing award (the NYT didn't list her!). I should have known, why else TH was presenting that award
>>686,687,688 Normally, I would have said it's his new bodyguard/driver. The one he used from Corioulanus seems to have disappeared. Not normally, nothing would surprise me anymore.
As for him and Priyanka, the article is unsurprising but I don't blame the media for writing one, because I don't doubt TH would go for it, the guy would do anything right now to fix his image. But mostly, given his modus operandi of these past 3 years, we know that by next summer he is going to have another romance.
I'm proud to say that I looked at the photos and video and he does nothing for me anymore, he looked even older than usual and his hair was styled horribly.
>>694 Seriously though, if they give The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story the award for best mini-series how can they not give the Oustanding Directing award to one of the directors? It's a contradiction.
"Tom texted me that he wanted to do a tux with piping on the lapel, which Gucci has been doing recently, so we had two Gucci tuxes made and then pulled a few other options from them. We ended up going with one of the non-custom options, which never happens, because it fit him really well. He's been doing Thor so he lost some weight in the waist and gained some weight in the chest and it just ended up being the best cut on him."
Fatuous suggestion from Tom's nauseating stylist that he would ever text anyone about piping on a lapel (remembering that this is a man whom she bought a pair of suede boots that had to be surgically removed from his feet before he was put in that dinner jacket).
