Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston.
>>200 air miles, I guess.
I think, but am too lazy to check, that the trips to LA had always some other non Tayto related reason (such as Comic Con). I don't think he ever flew out to the states purely to stunt with her.
>>199 ...ehm, I was joking about the present.
>>201 it wasn't ComicCon, that was in July, this one in August. Anyway, I'm too lazy to check too and not that interested anymore.
>>203 It was for Emmy campaigning in August. He did a load of interviews with Variety etc.
>>197 There was something in the bag. A little slip of paper that read: I am playing the part of a present bought for a woman playing the part of a girlfriend by a man playing the part of a boyfriend.
Yes, that slip of paper graduated from RADA also. That's why we thought it was a real present! It had the best training money can buy!
It's currently appearing as a scroll on Game of Thrones.
>>205 The piece of paper and Tom first became friends when it was playing a toilet roll wrapped round Luke Evans in High Rise.
>>206 HA!
But could they become more than just friends? Hmmmmm. Now that Tayto is no more, and Tayto Two, Tayto-ier, is nothing but the collective wet dream of thousands of Swifties, could Tom find love with a simple piece of pressed wood pulp that doesn't own a private jet?
They say opposites attract. Maybe Tom's past relationships failed because he was dating live women. Perhaps an inanimate object would be just right for him. (And, yes, I know TS is pretty much just an inanimate object.)
>>205,206 hahaha
Sorry if I sounded a bit rude here >>203 guys, I think I worded it badly. I didn't mean I wasn't interested in your comments, only that my disinterest for TH is such that I didn't feel like checking.
>>204 So AMC paid the flight and TH added a fake a meeting just to break up two weeks later. I don't know, anything could be really, but I would find easier to believe a fake meeting if it had been TS flying all the way to OZ to be papped strolling around in Brisbane.
Gossip Cop denies Hiddleswift reunion:
http://www.gossipcop.com/tom-hiddleston-not-back-together-taylor-swift-reunited/
>>209 TS was never going back to australia. First, she just had go get out of the country during the Kimye Snapchat tape takedown. AND, after they returned to LA Tom's agent, Luke and the West Coast Rep for Toms management Team in NYC at Comic Con, and then his manager in NYC and his Soho lawyers together with NY based Marvel wrangled him and pulled Tom out of Swifts narrative of date night pics. Thats why TS raced back to Nashville after one day for the Hillstone pap night, the last time they would ever appear anywhere near each other, deemed by Team Tom.
Thank goodness. Team Tom just woke up and denied that he and TS are back together on Gossip Cop. Team Tom is learning, learning a bit slowly, but learning.
>>210 Would ya look at that! Luke finally understood how PR works. It's like a Christmas miracle!
SU possibly best movie of 2017. Possibly.

Excuse the source. TH apparently now back home. Yet another instance of him making it across the globe by plane without being seen or photographed. http://insanely-smart.tumblr.com/post/152778814558/now-londonhome-guess-he-was-out-for-a-late
>>193 That's a hella generous present. I could learn to love a monster in law for that.
>>215 Wow, surely not Shit Island! I had a glance at the competition next year and it's fierce. Didn't ISTL have rave Oscar baity previews? I'm not eating my shorts yet.
>>216 TH has been remarkably adept at avoiding those pesky camera phones since the happiest three months of his life not courting them but being constantly caught by them.
I still wonder if he's become addicted to private planes after his taste of the good life.
>>216,217 Ah! When all of a sudden one doesn't solicit unsolicited photos for the Unsolicited World Tour, one can travel anonymously.

Has a beard.
Some time last week there was a tweet stating TH and Eddie Redmayne were in Bristol at Aardman studios to do voiceovers for animated movie 'Early Man.' I was unable to post the link back them, and now I can't find it. No picture, only the mention by someone involved with the studio.
OT: Election Day!
Dear American friends on this board: I hope you all are able to vote and I wish the United States a peaceful, stable and unifying outcome. xx
Oh god I don't even know what happened last night. Rural America has some serious power with all its bigotry and prejudice.
I'm numb and speechless, and sad, and pissed AF.
It's not the US only, at this point it seems like the whole world is repeating the same scenario. In my minuscule irrelevant fuck of a country I read comments gloating about how "now f-ing liberals will see that the world is against them", etc.
How did we manage to get here? How did we manage to return 100 years back?
Anyone knows anything about emigration to New Zealand? I hear they have more sheep than people there. Seems tempting right now.
A little something to cleanse the palate. Here is a picture of TH (new to me) wearing a hat stolen from a homeless person and a coat stolen from a flasher. Come back crazy "styled by yours truly". All (well, some) is forgiven:
http://lolawashere.tumblr.com/post/153034111892/sosassie-on-instagram-flashback-to-2008
And, from the "would attend the opening of an envelope" department, news that Tom will be presenting an Evening Standard award this weekend: http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/theatre/evening-standard-theatre-awards-2016-tom-hiddleston-joins-star-cast-of-presenters-a3393311.html
>>227,226 I'm grateful for envelope opening Tom to erase the jarring picture from >>226 which bears a striking resemblance to one of my best friends whom I am very much not attracted to. At all. No no no no. How can I unsee this?
>>224,225 2016 just keeps coughing up winners. Despite legendary deaths, unfathomable relationships and dubious political manoeuvrings, most people I know, myself included, have had a dreary yeary. I'm optimistic that while things could possibly worsen, they sure as shit can get better.
>>228 In which regard: RIP Leonard Cohen.
I know what you mean - I have had an utterly shitty 2016 for various reasons. But if I were a famous person, especially a musician, I'd be seriously worried that the man upstairs had it in for me.
Avec beard and poetry book: http://wthanon4u.tumblr.com/post/153041210140/loki-fanatic
The man knows not the notion of "holiday". Or "incognito." I was hoping for his sake he would take a month and go off somewhere and not do awards shows, or tweet, or anything really.
>>230 I thought that too, about the holiday and the incognito, but maybe it's because he has nothing lined up, or nothing soon. Then again, he had such wonderful holidays between June and July =P
This Allie Esiri is the same woman of the Love Book app from year 2013, so it seems like a favour to her - cynicism kicks in - while also being beneficial for him, since it gives him this aura of being humble and normal again. The Evening Standard Awards has probably the same purpose, after all sooner or later he had to go back out there in the UK and pretend he is a serious actor who did NOT have a showmance with a pop idol who can't breath without lying.
>>231 maybe I spoke too soon. He has arrived at the ES Awards but failed to walk the red carpet. No pics available.
>>232 hahaha what a wuss.
Here he is at the post awards dinner. I think this is a self-done hairdo (clue: less product and it looks better). With bonus Ken Branagh looking like Mr Toad.
https://twh-news.tumblr.com/post/153143608831/tom-hiddleston-at-evening-standard-theatre-awards
In fact stepping out with 2 people from UNICEF. Possibly the documentary is about to be finished?
>>235 I was wondering, is the dailymail pushing TS's name into every article in order to get more clicks, like they did with the Evening Standard awards? And did Team Tom call the paps today to take pics of the UNICEF meeting with the UNICEF workers, including his blonde colleague to separate his narrative from Taylor's? I guess a lot of the Ginger and White cafe pictures in general are/and have been organized by Team Tom from the start. I now have to question everything. So annoying. But, congrats and luck to the whole Night Manager team for their Critics Choice Awards nominations for Hugh, Tom, Elizabeth and the show. I fear it's the year for the People v OJ, at least in the US. The Bafta tv awards should work out better for TNM.
Well his time in ma hood was pretty limited! Already he is back on the West Coast. Arrived at LAX I think yesterday. Looks seriously pissy about the photographers and we have video (!) of him walking to his car:
I am struck by how much his level of pap recognition/hassle has changed in recent months and also by the marked change in demeanour. Anyone remember him laughing at LAX when asked about the Sony hack? Pretty gracious and very relaxed despite having come off 8 weeks of filming ISTL and looking really tired.
>>236 I think it's fair to assume the tip of this UNICEF meeting at G&W was by TeamTom, how would anyone at the DM know that the girl was a UNICEF worker? I suppose it was an attempt to change the narrative about him and having his name connected to something other than TS.
As attempts go, it was feeble and pointless, not only as long as TS doesn't acquire a new bf, TH will be her last and he will still be asked about it, but the general public doesn't follow his every movements, so it will take much more than this papwalk or an appearance at somne awards to change things.
>>237 TNM promotion for the Critics Choice Awards or trying to land a role? Or both? Maybe he'll hire another agent!
Funny, I've just written he is going to be asked about TS no matter what and bam, paps at LAX did just that, no wonder he looked pissed. But, hey, he only has himself to blame if all poeple can remember about him right now is his summer showmance.
>>239 I didn't have the sound up - no wonder he looked cross.
The DM didn't know the woman was from UNICEF - that was found out by Torrilla who posted her name and previous pics of Tom with her. They went with the "Tom sees mystery blonde" line, at least initially (they may have updated later).
But you and Sosorry are right that the DM presumably did not get a photog to stake out Hampstead High St until he appeared one day (not least because this was not the branch of G&W nearest his home where he usually goes). When it has been a pap hanging around to get him they have always hung out right by his front door - the only guaranteed way to get a pic. Hence pics of him at his local G&W or jogging past the 7/11 by his front door.
So yep, smells like a tip off.
>>240 I read that and I was in 2 minds whether to post it.
I read on a theatre board some woman who said she started the rumour unintentionally. She had got tickets for The Ferryman and she said on her tumblr account she thought it would be a great project for him. One of her followers was one of the super stans (I think the super clever one), who then repeated it and said it must be true because he met with Sam Mendes a while ago. Since then t has gained a lot of traction.
One one level I suppose it is a plausible guess - TH hinted at a new project which he hasn't announced and he did meet with Mendes. And it would explain the apparent gap. It also has a well known west end producer which says to me it is set up for a west end transfer. And no casting has been announced for any Royal Court play next season.
On the other hand - The author of The Ferryman also wrote Jerusalem. If I had been keeping up I would have bought tickets on spec anyway as I loved it. So it selling out is probably nothing to do with any casting rumour. And - I bear this in mind a lot - when TH met with Mendes he was all about Bond whatever he said to the contrary, and I feel strongly that the Mendes meeting was all about that.
Which CB thread mentioned the casting rumour? Can you post a link?
>>241 I must have read the updated version then, because the DM article now calls her "his UNICEF colleague".
>>242 I read it in the last CB's thread about TH, this is the link to the comment http://www.celebitchy.com/512292/tom_hiddleston_was_seen_out_in_london_with_a_mystery_blonde_hmmm/#comment-15282322
I also did a search of all October threads and the only other mention of spiderpig+theatre is here http://www.celebitchy.com/512190/tom_hiddleston_came_out_of_hiding_to_attend_the_es_theatre_awards/#comment-15280011
Oh joy. He is on Kimmel tonight to premiere the Shit Island trailer. Hang onto your....toilet paper.
>>244 It's too much to hope Kimmel will make some TayTo related jokes is it? It will only be niceties about Shitty Island:
Kimmel:"Oh, it looks amazing"
TH:"I had an amazing time shooting this (I hadn't screwed up my reputation back then, I was still pretending not to be banging EO, better move on) and JVR is a fantastic director (who had a beef with the girl I was banging after EO, moving on) and it was great to work again with SLJ (who is in Avenger and that might lead to RDJ and his instragram post about my I>3TS tshirt, where's Luke?!?!) and we had a great time every weekend with Brie (this one is safe...no wait, we did reshoots and maybe it's better not to remind production that we spent more time organising our weekends than working, this is a nightmare)
If you see him wringing his hands at the speed of light, this is why.
>>245 My goodness! TH just made a very brief appearance on Kimmel dressed as the ape from King Kong! The bit was that Guiermo tricked him into coming in costume, and TH chased him off of the stage! Thank god it was quirky/charming, and there was no time to ask personal questions! I think if Tom avoids the red carpet questions at the Globes and just walks inside like he did at the Emmys, he can charge into the Kong promotion this spring, without the summer madness haunting his every turn.
>>241
http://www.eonline.com/videos/254342/did-tom-hiddleston-win-the-hiddleswift-split
Hysterical video from the E news staff saying that Hiddleston wins the split with TS, because his life has gone back to normal! The host said both the whole alleged relationship and the contant press coverage was ridiculous, and made TH look like a toy accessory, and not a grown man. So Hiddleston is winning by working hard and keeping his head down and staying off the PR grid. And by contrast, although TS is incredibly financially successful, TS is trapped on defense, and her image as a vanilla pop princess took a huge nose dive because it looked like she switched up bfs so quickly, in a dishonest and obnoxious way, since people thought that all of the pictures of her were annoying. Wow. The bloom is off the rose. The press aren't scared of TS any more, and they're starting to re-embrace Tom again.
So here you can see the supposedly funny bit
http://cheers-mrhiddleston.tumblr.com/post/153289858887/tom-hiddleston-arrives-to-premiere-the-trailer-for
My version was more fun :)
>>247 When TS release her new single/album she will get a massive media coverage and nobody will even remember this idiotic bit on Kimmel.
Here's the trailer brought to Kimmel by by circus monkey TH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9y6oPka3us
I hope for them this trailer isn't everything that's good about this film because.
>>248 Well that's one way of avoiding questions about his ex... RUN!
Your version was hysterical, I much prefer it.
>>249 It's not entirely shit, in fact I will go so far as to say it's cinematically spectacular in a rich 70s kodachrome way that may just be enough to distract me from what looks to be a clumsy plot amidst flat jokes and explosions. Not to mention TH covered in sweat and dirt wearing what looks to be his current everyday wardrobe minus the jacket.
>>250 Right! The things he'd do at the moment to avoid an interview.
My "because" got lost somewhere between my brain and the keyboard. I agree with you, the special effect and photography looks great, but a trailer where the character that stands out is a secondary one (John C. Reilly's) compared to the two leads doesn't look good in terms of acting and plot. I'll wait to see what the critics say before paying a cinema ticket, March has a lot of much more interesting releases.
E! declares that Tom "won" Hiddleswift. You'll have to watch the whole video for the comments, they're not written.
http://www.eonline.com/videos/254342/did-tom-hiddleston-win-the-hiddleswift-split
Their summary is, while showing him arriving at LAX yesterday in front of going to Kimmel, is that his life is back to its boring normal after the image damaging relationship - he's out in public and hardly anyone knew who he was, less than a half dozen camera around him. Meanwhile TS has been on the defensive for months and didn't escape the taint of the Kanye issue, the questions about how soon she got with TH after Calvin, etc etc etc.
I just finally at the SI trailer. Damn his body is beautiful, but I still don't give a crap about the whole King Kong story.
Hi! Does anyone remember whether Tom was seen carrying a copy of The Voyeurs's Motel, or whether people just assumed that Tom would be in the film, since he met with director Sam Mendes? Thanks!
>>256 It was suggested on tumblr that it may have been what he purchased when he was spotted in the bookstore in L.A. when he asked the employee not to reveal what he purchased, but he's never been seen with the book. It's a fantasy cast for a few blogs on tumblr but it's all speculation.
Michael K comes through with quotes about Hiddleson wearing the Kong suit on Kimmel. The comments are interesting on dlisted. It seems as if everyone is still traumatized by the PR summer madness.

Tom Hiddleston presented the trailer for Hollywood’s 589th King Kong movie, Kong: Skull Island, in a gorilla suit on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. You have to hand it to Tom Hiddleston. He’ll wear all sorts of weird shit to promote a project. He wore a gorilla suit to promote his movie and he wore an “I Heart TS” tank top to promote his totally genuine relationship – Lainey Gossip
>>258 the comments are always funny, I give my prize to this one
http://dlisted.com/2016/11/17/night-crumbs-714/#comment-3007897290
Very nice compliment in the DM from Thor's Lady Sif played by Jamie Alexander. Tom, 'is really lovely and such a gentleman. He's a serious actor with immense talent.'
It's nice to know that TH's peers respect his countenance and his work. And no meention of summer madness: ) Refreshing.

"Add Tom Hiddleston To Ben Wheatley & Warner Bros Circling Frank Miller & Geof Darrow’s ‘Hard Boiled’ – Update"
I'm too busy laughing at this to add anything else. Another comic!
Anon he's back in your hood (and I'm still capable of finding stuff on tumblr!)
https://zerofucksclub.tumblr.com/post/153500499276/for-those-others-who-are-blocked-here-are-the-tom
(the photo were originally by the crazy clever one)
About Hard Boiled and TH, which is still as funny to mention together as it was this morning, if this is true it means TH is done with Loki doesn't it? Marvel would never allow one of its actor to play another comic character.
>>262 For how long I wonder?
By the way, if you fancy a laugh, the Swifty nutters on tumblr are claiming that this is photoshopped and that TH is in fact boning TS somewhere in continental US.....
>>264 hahaha fingers crossed that TS won't get a bf until after Skull Island promo so I can read this stuff for a little longer. (why would they be so fixated they are still together anyway? Shouldn't they be happy she dumped a guy that was made fun of all over the world?)
>>265 After what he pulled this summer, who can say what he'd do or not with his not-so-private love life?
TH can't do tough, he couldn't pull off the tough guy in something as soft as TNM, a character as violent as the one in this graphic novel might be beyond him (even his Coriolanus was teary-eyed!), plus the comics itself isn't visually appealing- Also, outside the Marvel universe, graphic novels don't have much success.
If confirmed it's very risky. Mind you, like William Goldman says “Nobody knows anything...... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one.”
>>265 I forgot, Ben Wheatly's HR was terrible, but his latest film, the one with Brie, seems to be good, so I think he is a hit-and-miss director. That isn't reassuring either.
The VK follow is interesting for a few reasons. Why, if she's in the same stable as TH, didn't he follow her before? Is she new to Twitter? It shouldn't be forgotten that Tayto started, for the most part, with TH following TS.
Also if she 'dated' DB, then this girl could be up for a fauxmance because DB is, by most accounts, gay and gayer.
Does VK have a private jet or access to a beach and some rocks? ;)
>>269 Anon. you're back, so glad, I'm no good at being funny about TH, I always sounds so nasty :)
That's true and it'd be hilarious if it happened.
To be fair, TH also tends to follow: people he met (and complimented him), people whose works he watched, people he might want to work with. Or people who are particulalry trendy at the moment, I remember him following Jared Leto and Lupita the night of the Oscars.
Welcome back to the board, Anon.!
I don't think he's done with showmances. But I am not sure this lady is the one. It would be a bit of a climb-down fame wise from TS and what's the point of shopping for a fake GF unless you buy the best one?
>>269 >>271 Oh, if Douglas Booth is gay, are you saying that Tom pursues faux romances because he is gay? I am confused. Also, I think that a lower profile fake gf would be a good idea, if Tom is trying to hide. No one was stalking Susannah Fielding for pics when she was a jobbing thespian in the West End. And people only took/take pictures of Jane Arthy when she is with Tom, specifically. I'm not sure if Tom could pull off a fake relationship for any reason, for a long while. There is far too much universal suspicion and scrutiny of his behavior after Tayto. I think if Tom wants privacy for that reason that he should stay single, or at most be seen allegedly flirting with certain women, at some point, like with Priyanka at the Emmys. The very youngest Taylor fans only believe her faux relationships because they are addicted to her breakup songs, fashion sense, and her instagram persona. The general public is not so gullible. IMO, Tom just needs to work his bum off and stay off the PR radar.
>>270,271 Thanks for the welcome!
>>270 I'm not very funny anymore either. The fandom got dark, very dark over the summer. Hard to be light and slightly mocking these days, easier to be derisive. I'm okay with derisive, he's earned it.
>>271 There are moments when I think he will never showmance again and then I remember his track record. I saw the S. Korea cringe tour after the fact but remember thinking to myself, How embarrassing; he'll never sing and dance like that again. Then I saw the Chatty Man dance and all the ISTL sing-a-longs. He is not one for learning a lesson the first time...or the 50th.
Maybe she'd be perfect since it would actually be, you know, believable. But he and his people may have their sights set on loftier heights. Once you've fake dated a tall, blonde, famous stick the only way to go is taller, blonder, more famous and stickier.
No links as responding generally to everyone!
I feel the bloom has gone off the rose for me and seemingly for the fandom generally. As I see it there are 2 interpretations of the summer:
1) Genuine romance. Whether TS is dim, or surgically altered, or anything else, wasn't the issue - it's for him to decide who he wants to go out with. But he shamelessly pimped out his relationship in a way that seemed deliberately designed to garner publicity. That's unattractive from any celeb. It's particularly unattractive from a celeb who has spent a lot of time telling us how much he values his privacy. Some stans say, well he doesn't owe us consistency. True. He can do one thing and say another if he wants. But it appears to have gone down badly with a lot of people.
2) Fake romance. Deeply unattractive to any normal person, as it smacks both of dishonesty and weirdness. I am sure that some, though far from all, celeb relationships are faked. Even so, this felt particularly brazen in the way it appeared suddenly and was shoved down our throats for 3 months. E.g., Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have confessed that their relationship was arranged, at least at the start. But they never did anything approaching the Love Tour. If it was fake I don't think it was because he is gay (though maybe she is). I think it was for profile raising. In a way I would have more sympathy if it was because he was gay, as that still does pigeonhole many actors and make it harder for them to get good roles. But doing it for Bond....no.
Either way, he really hasn't covered himself in glory this summer and a lot people feel that. There is also 3) The projects haven't been that good. I am beginning to wonder if he is not that great an actor, or at least not unless he is very carefully corralled by an experienced director.
>>274 An excellent hypothesis. None of these points are mutually exclusive. It is a given fact that the majority of his glory projects flopped. He's a man driven to success- that would have stung and caused him to consider alternative fast-track methods which he would have otherwise shunned. Herald in the Swift Experience.
I still think it's most likely a combination of all points. It sure as shit wasn't true love since the exit was so "swift" and the method so uncharacteristically flagrant. As you point out, none of the options are appealing. He's either a famewhore or a faker or desperate.
I'm left wondering just how hard it is to be in a loving normal relationship when you're famous. Others seem to manage just fine, and perhaps that is the key- they are not as overtly MANAGED.
I have always felt TH is a little too handled by his minders.
FFS TH, just hook up with a hot chick you really like and be normal. It's not that hard and it's appealing to see someone have genuine feels for someone. Once a month maybe parade that shit if you have to. Be exclusive. How about trying to be an enigma again. That worked.
As for his acting, I am similarly fenced but consider ISTL was most likely his best role in terms of character immersion, the shit director should take no credit. Future roles are the test for me, as to whether he has finally shaken his stage presence on film.
TH doing a very good impression of Shane MacGowan:
I just handed our tiny, snooze-button-less alarm clock off to my husband and told him that I needed to go offer season's greetings to my internet girlfriends. His response: you have internet girlfriends? Oh, if he only knew about the internet boyfriend!
>>274,275 Agreed and agreed. Which means this fandom ship will always sail rough and strange waters. What will the next summer hold!
I know most on this board won't be gorging themselves on turkey, mash and dressing today. I still wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Especially since I am thankful for this board (awwwww) and its ability to see through bullshit, crazy and manufactured fuckery (less awwww) and call out the peddlers of those.
So Happy Thanksgiving all.
>>275 I think on one level it is easy to have a relationship while famous. Date someone who is not in the business, keep them largely out of the public eye (no Hello spreads) but don't be all weird about it - if you have a big RC event where it would be normal to appear with your spouse, take them along. And stay as far away from the Hollywood machine as possible. Even quite big stars manage this: most of the Brits, and people like Jessic Chastain who is open that she has a BF and is normal about it (e.g. she posts the occasional IG pic of him when you might expect someone to post a pic of their SO).
Where it gets hard, I totally agree, is where you have a big Hollywood entourage of lickspittles and hangers on. There are three reasons: first, they kiss up so much that you lose all perspective of what is normal and who you are. Second, you are paying them a lot and so they want to "add value" so you can see they are doing things. This leads them to interfere in areas such as your personal life when they ought to let well alone. Third, the advisors have been deep within the Hollywood machine for years, and so their bright ideas are 90% shit/bonkers.
Oh and happy Thanksgiving to those in the US. Alas for me it is another working day!! 🇺🇸🦃
Wouldn't you guys say that the excess of management pre TayTo was due to ambition, but post TayTo is a sign that his career took a hit?
TH declaring defeat before our stringent logic

That piece of crap The Voyeur's Motel has been dropped by Dreamworks: http://deadline.com/2016/11/sam-mendes-gay-talese-steven-spielberg-drop-voyeurs-motel-dreamworks-movie-dead-1201859603/
So if TH was considering appearing in it, he isn't now.
It is slightly hard to work out exactly why it has been dumped - I can't see that a documentary about Gay Talese writing the book would necessarily trample on the same territory as a film version of the book itself. My guess is that the as yet unreleased documentary reveals that Talese is actually a colossal charlatan and that this is almost entirely fiction masquerading as journalism. I hope they get back some of the $1m they paid for the rights.

When a first saw this tweet back in September, I remembered that Tom started following several Apple accounts on Twitter after the success of the Met Gala dance-off. Maybe Apple was preparing a commercial with Tom as part of the campaign they already have with Taylor. That's probably how Hiddleswift started. After the breakup that went for Drake instead. They even started some dating rumours before the commercial was released. How convenient!
I've read somewhere that Taylor Swift has a social media center where people are paid to run fake accounts on social media that post positive things about her and attack those who say negative things about her.
According to this site, only 10% of her followers on twitter are real accounts:

Apparently he is on the BBC today. BBC World News at 4pm. I am guessing to talk about South Sudan.
>>291 Probably. Isn't this the same presenter that when he went to talk about UNICEF the other time, ended up asking him about Bond instead? Maybe this time he'll ask him about TayTo.
>>292 Yes I recall it degenerated quite quickly into a standard interview about career etc. I saw that Torrilla has some photos of him in Sudan which look quite recent as he is sporting the current beard.
Ok, so this is the video of TH at the BBC NEWS WORLD that you can also find at Torrilla

That video is missing a chunk, for some reason.
Here it's the full video but in lower quality (but who cares)

He gets asked about new projects, he doesn't answer except for saying he made two film, Skull and Thor3. He gets asked about the flip side of being famous and having people focusing on his break-up with TS and he recycled his usual anser that he is not in control of people's opinion of him but only of his words and actions.
>>290 I don't want to give TH and Luke any ideas but there's a tall, thin, famous woman who champions all things UN who recently became single. Just saying.... Showmance system engaged. He's going to make such a great step-father to the child army.
Those two and the UN deserve one another.
Kooky question/Thoughts Wondering/Pics below: I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I've just been questioning a lot of things, recently from some Met Ball pics and Letters Live pics yesterday. At the Met Ball, everyone wondered why Tom didn't dance or hang out more with his costar in TNM, Elizabeth Debicki, after they posed so warmly on the red carpet, or with Vanessa Kirby, since she is a client of Luke, as well. But I recently found photos of Vanessa Kirby (the lovely actress who Tom just followed on twitter), leaving for the Met ball with ED from the Bowery Hotel, together. And inside, singer Florence Welch and ED danced up an intimate storm together while VK looked on with an interesting gaze. And just two nights ago, ED performed at Letters Live, and her seating partner was again, Florence Welch.
Now I'm kind of thinking since Vanessa Kirby's ex Douglas Boothe (from Romeo and Juliet) is most likely gay, and FW is pretty fluid in her sexuality, that ED and VK may lean that way as well, but they don't want to be typecast in terms of their roles, so they flirt with Tom on the red carpet, become instagram friends for romantic PR press, Tom has the fauxmance with TS maybe to hide TS, or himself, etc. The pics are interesting. Any thoughts?
>>297 Not sure about all that but Elizabeth and Florence have been good friends since their Great Gatsby days. Makes sense that they'd hang out at events. Who knows what their personal preferences are but hey as long as they don't put on the over the top bile inducing display Tom put on this summer with their SOs, it's all good. I can't look at any news of Tom or movie or interview clips of Tom without flashbacks of this summer. God that was traumatic.
>>298 I feel just the same way! I still don't know how a seemingly cerebral Cambridge graduate got played by a teeny bopper pop star into running the most PR hungry fake display of intimacy I've ever seen in the history of tinsel town. TS is like teflon woman, because her super fans just want breakup songs, cute new alleged bfs, great outfits, and more breakup songs. Tom is a talented actor, and he doesn't owe anyone anything besides his work product. But his seemingly authentic countenance was very attractive. And that's the thing he's lost, now. Now some question the timing of his UNICEF work to rehabilitating his image, for godssake, even though he's been writing and planning the documentary for years. He needs to stay off the radar, open the monkey movie, and swoop an Olivier award or an Emmy award for a Shakespearean adaptation, like Much Ado About Nothing. And maybe an an obtuse or avant garde production from a new playwright, as well. Anything that makes him seem mature, again. And he should focus on nailing character parts in well executed films, like Midnight in Paris, while hunting for his The Theory of Everything, Redmayne Oscar script.
>>299 SoSorry, he didn't get played, he did all that of his own volition. They were all his choices.
