Tom Hiddleston premieres ‘Only Lovers’ at TIFF: too eager or totally hot?

The unofficial war between Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston took a nasty turn last night in Toronto with both lady-bait actors premiering their new films on the same night. If we have to declare a winner just from my access to good photos, I have to admit, Hiddles wins. The photos from The Fifth Estate premiere were total crap for me, but there are 20 million new pics of Hiddles. Unfortunately for all of us, there was NOOOOOO Tilda Swinton on the carpet. I guess she’s not in Toronto to promote Only Lovers Left Alive. Just Hiddles and his camera-hungry ways. And Mia Wasikowska and Anton Yelchin of course.

I do have to say, Hiddles looked good. That’s something that he and Cumberbatch have in common, and it’s something that I think most Englishmen share: an ability to wear the hell out of formalwear and suits. Still, I miss Tilda’s amazingness. So, would you hit it? Eh. He’s such an eager-beaver. I fear he would make a mess of sex. Also: I’m including a pic of Hiddles arriving in Toronto too – he brought a BIG suitcase!

Mia is wearing Dior, by the way. Mia looks lovely – she was just in Venice promoting a film too, and she was wearing, like, widow chic. All black for every red carpet, so it’s nice to see her in a pop of color.

    Why a war? It’s a PARTY!

    • T.Fanty says:

      Absolutely. Preferably, in my knickers.

      • Anna says:

        Mine first! But we both have to hurry up before Miss Jane gets here…

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh, she doesn’t worry me. We’ll just toss little Daniel Bruhl in front of her (which is entirely possible, given that he’s wee) and she won’t even notice what we’re up to.

      • Anna says:

        Ugh, but then CHivalrous CHarming might come to his defense, and our insatiable trollop will be pawing at my husband AGAIN. Just cant win…

      • T.Fanty says:

        *You* can’t win. If you and Miss Jane start a tug o’war with the bewildered retriever’s leash, I’ll just gather up my man-toys and go play in my room.

      • j.eyre says:

        Yikes, I may have to give Hiddles to Fanty on this one just for the proposed fantasy of luring CHemboy to ride in to Dannyboy’s defense.

        Yes, yes – this will do. I need to go collect some penguin toys and a few more leashes… and some Barbie furniture so Dannyboy will have somewhere to sit. Fanty, make sure you hydrate Hiddles this time – it took forever to peel him off the linoleum the last go round.

        Anna – we’re going to need a bigger horse than that if CHem is going to mount it from a brisk run.

      • T.fanty says:

        The Barbie furniture might be my official favourite remark for today. I would also suggest a baby bjorn. Better than a pocket, because it keeps him close to your bosoms.

      • Sixer says:

        While we’re shopping for Barbie furniture, could we make room for some My Little Ponies? My little Tom had a lovely collection but that nasty Tinkerbell threw them away when she found them.

        TommyAnne took some consoling, I can tell you. I had to put lavender oil on his pillowcase for an entire week.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Oh, God. Again with Fanty’s bosoms…..

    • Rosemary says:

      …and it is in his PANTS!!!

  2. Elodie says:

    Aahhh a new suit!

    Apart from that, nope wouldn’t hit it, he’s all yours!

  3. T.Fanty says:

    Hiddleanna is looking fine. I hope he didn’t just stick a tie and jacket over his ubiquitous white shirt/tight trousers combo, however.

    And, Kaiser – hush your mouth. Cumby clearly wins everything. Ever.

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      We need to issue a fatwa against the white shirt. Mandatory stylists for Hiddles. He is capable of wearing clothing very well (and thus evoking thoughts of the unwearing). There also needs to be an intervention on the fake tan. It fools nobody.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Seriously, you’ve heard my theory. This the only thing he wears in public. So we steal it and he has to walk around in his underpants – and we can’t even be sure he has any of those with him. This is Hiddles, after all.

      • Anna says:

        Well, that dong always looks like it’s trying to break free from those tight pants, so it’s high time we help him.

      • Sixer says:

        I like this idea. Muchly.

        Especially since I do not like the double-breasted jacket. So the quicker that goes, the better. These pics are a sandwich: good (head), bad (jacket), good (legs – but then, the legs are always good).

      • j.eyre says:

        @Sixer – your definition of sandwich and mine don’t match up.

        Except the part about good (head), only with less parentheses

      • Sixer says:

        Sorry Miss Jane. I would say “Swap you for a cheese and pickle?” but I think you might despair of me entirely.

      • j.eyre says:

        Actually – you and I could have a proper chat about cheese and pickle sandwiches. I have very definite opinions about the width of the cheese slices, type of cheese to be used (and what will do in a pinch) type of pickle, direction they are to be put on the bread, type of bread, dressing… oh, I love me a pickle and cheese sandwich. And then we can discuss an English Cheddar and Chutney sandwich.

        No, I was confused by your Hiddles sandwich that only involved one person…

      • Sixer says:

        I bet you like your cheese with a strong and tasty bite. Mature, natch. I shall introduce you to Innkeeper’s Choice – and it doesn’t involve only cheese.

    • Anna says:

      I love that he is dressy even at the airport.

    • Sixer says:

      Whoops. Replied in the wrong place. Hello Anna darling, how are you hiddly-diddling?

  4. Birdie says:

    Tom has a problem with tan cream. Also, I am sorry, but he should lighten up his teeth a bit. Other than that, he wears a suit damn well.

    • Sullivan says:

      I don’t know. I’ve grown tired of seeing excessively bleached teeth. ‘Reality star white teeth’ have become a turn-off for me. I’m all for oral hygiene, but I’m starting to appreciate the actors who haven’t succumbed to bleaching the life out of their teeth.

    • Vesta says:

      Sullivan I’m with you in this. I prefer natural colour teeth. To me extremely white teeth don’t look more healthy (whitening isn’t exactly beneficial for your tooth enamel). They just look artificial. I don’t get why actors should have teeth (or actually any physical traits) that are all from the same mold.

      • MissThing says:

        He appears to only bleach right before filming something. Like when he was doing Loki last fall, his teeth were a tad… bright? But he does have a serious coffee habit so it doesn’t stay for long.

    • Grant says:

      Count me amongst those who prefer the pearly whites, especially if he’s going to subject us to that cheesy grin every time he spies a camera.

  5. Allons-y Alonso says:

    Hiddleston AND Batch in suits. My ideal version of Narnia! Englishmen in suits. Englishmen in suits everywhere!

  6. Ms. Williams says:

    Kaiser stop trying to start a stan war. These 2 fandoms actually get along. And I like Ms. Hiddleston but Cumby clearly won yesterday because that is all people were talking about. His appearance.

  7. Gina says:

    Is tommyanne auditioning to be an African American in a upcoming movie? Sorry did I miss something? Stop with the damn brown powder!!

  8. NWO says:

    Nope sorry hiddlestans he does nothing for me. More for y’all.

  9. Dante says:

    Average looking brit with prematurely wrinkled face. Nothing special, not even the best of the current crop of brits or the most prolific. Cumberbatch may look odd but at least he is a fantastic actor with a cv that backs up the attention that is lavished upon him.

  10. Angel May says:

    I worship the body of this man, but sunglasses in the airport? What’s going on here?

    Seriously, nobody does suit pr0n like beloved Tom. He could be a runway model.

  11. Miss Jupitero says:

    Cumby won. The review in the Guardian has the best description of him as Assange ever. That man is courting an Oscar. The OLLA premiere suffered significantly from lack of Tilda.

    • Dante says:

      Cumby wins in the acting departement for sure. Guardian gave him a glowing review for his portrayal of Assange

    • mom2two says:

      I read on EW.com that the reviews for 5th Estate were mixed-some liked it, some didn’t and that the Oscar chances for the movie are in jeopardy.

      I just don’t find Hiddleston or Cumberbatch attractive (sorry ladies) but both of them seem like generally nice guys who do good work. Not sure if there is an Oscar in Hiddleston’s future but if 5th Estate doesn’t do it for Cumberbatch, he’s going to have that role in the future. Hollywood loves that guy and he has his pick of parts.

    • icerose says:

      The Guardian Review aside there have been some very mixed reviews for Assange. It has not lived up to anticipation or media hype from the much of what I have read.
      Only Lovers Left Alive may not be receiving as much press at Toronto which is understandable after its standing ovation debut at Cannes but it is receiving excellent reviews overall most of which comment on the excellence of the acting between and charisma between Hiddleston and Swinton

  12. Felice says:

    I was there and those photos add weight because Tom looked VERY thin. There was actually a Q & A afterwards but they didn’t have a mic for audience question and I hate shouting so I didn’t ask.

    A girl actually asked (first, not her actual question) “Did it hurt when you fell from Asgard?” I just sat there shaking my head while others were groaning at the comment.

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      I don’t get the skinny. I know he is naturally slender, but this sounds unhealthy, and a scrawny Coriolanus ain’t going to cut it.

      Manorexia? Stress? Or do you think he thinks this looks good? What is your theory?

      • Felice says:

        This was the first time I saw him in person so he could very well just be that slender since I do know a lot of healthy people who are skinny.

      • LilyRose says:

        What’s “Manorexia”? Isn’t anorexia, nervosa or non-nervosa, an eating disorder? What’s the difference between a man anorexia and anorexia? I really don’t get this. And I am seriously asking. Maybe it’s some sarcasm that I am not getting, but it reminds me of “muns” and “murse” adding an “m” to a genderless noun to make it manly. My feminist soap box is in the shop, so I won’t be standing on it right now… Is there really a difference?

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        There isno difference, likyroses. It’s just an expression people throw around. I kind of like “mun” though.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        Deluxe: as do I. But TommyAnnE sometimes alarms me. If it is for a role, I get it, but I would think for Coriolanus it wouldnot be the right thing.

      • LilyRose says:

        @Jupitero,

        Ha, yeah I feel dumb. I looked it up and it’s as silly as I thought. It takes me a good three hours to wake up. Nothing to see here. I need a refill on this coffee.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        It’s very, very silly, Lilyrose, but yeah, also somewhat sexist. I still like muns.

        It is very hard for me to imagine Tallulah as Coriolanus right now. But that’s me.

      • icerose says:

        Tom has said himself he is naturally slender and from the recent pictures there is no real change. He is a runner with long legs and a runners build. Lots of muscle and generally all around fitness. Much my preference to your overly sculptured designer bodies which many actors have now.

      • Grant says:

        He doesn’t look muscular to me at all…

      • DahliaDee says:

        @Grant:

        That depends on your definition of muscular. If it’s Chris Hemsworth/Chris Evans, then, compared to them, he doesn’t. His muscles are more of the sinewy variety, on a willowy frame.

  13. Miss M says:

    I find hilarious that whenever there is a Hiddleston post, people feel the need to bring up the King Lizard. Do you need reassurance who’s better? That alone tells me who wins…

    Anyway… I am way more focused on this detail here: “he brought a BIG suitcase!”

    Yes, he is coming to NYFF!!!!!
    *Master plan* 🙂

    • T.Fanty says:

      Oh my – you think? That’s a great theory.

      Now, if only you knew someone in NYC…….

    • j.eyre says:

      Don’t get your hopes too high there, Miss M. I made him bring the bigger suitcase this time. The smaller one always makes my legs cramp.

      • Miss M says:

        I may allow him to pay you a visit, j.eyre!

        I know someone/something in NYC! It’s called Hotel and there is one that I stay that is just blocks away from Lincoln center, just saying… 🙂
        ps: Or did you mean something else?

      • Anna says:

        Your mind scares me sometimes.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I was being nice!!!!! That’s it. You may be hot, but once I drop in my first obscure joke about Beaumont and Fletcher, it’s all over.

        Mwah ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa….

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: I see. You need to work really hard for that one, Go for it! See you at the finish line! Or maybe I won’t! I will probably give laps and laps and laps around you, 🙂

    • Abby says:

      Honestly not many fans were there outside for Tom Hiddleston at TIFF. I am saying that cz I wa near Ryerson where his movie premiered.

      The crowd for Batch was much bigger that clearly tells us who is big and who isn’t.

      • Miss M says:

        I respect your opinion. But this doesn’t mean who is big or not. There were more people to see “Shame” in 2011 with Fassbender than “The Descendants” with George Clooney. Who’s bigger?!

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        I have to agree with Miss M. Those tickets were expensive, the films were playing at the same time, and if I had to choose between OLLA and TYAS, the latter would have won, and not because OLLA is a lesser film.

        I have a tentative plan to go to NYFF. I really, really want to see OLLA, but I will feel very tortured if TYAS is also playing and I have to give that up. My budget can only take so much.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        This said, yeah, TYAS is Oscar material all the way, no doubt. I would be astonished if OLLA got that kind of attention. It sounds like a sweet, lovely film that is not hitting in the same field. But that is okay, isn’t it?

  14. Tatitana says:

    Sorry but Benedict won yesterday. Everyone was talking about him yesterday. He was trending for awhile on twitter. I think I like Benny more than Tom. While Tom can be cute he just does not standout to me. At least with Benny you get an interesting face and one sexy deep voice. And sometimes you get bitchy comments. He’s just more entertaining to me.

  15. Greata says:

    I have to admit that I do like Tom. He is one of the few actors who actually engages with the interviewer, instead of acting precious. Besides, I love me a man who loves to please.

    • Vesta says:

      I think I like him too cause there’s honesty in his eagerness. I like that more than some fake modesty card some actors & actresses like to play. And I’m not into “too cool for you” type of men at all.

  16. Leah says:

    These two are so interesting to me… I dunno.

    At the time of War Horse and thereafter, they were roughly on equal footing, maybe?

    So, why does it SEEM like there’s more buzz for Cumberbatch? Better movie choices? Better scripts? More hustle? Sheer dumb luck, right place, right time with Sherlock?

    Or are they both sort of still on that equal footing, they’re just trading off years?

    • Funny says:

      I have asked this myself. I like Tom but I don’t know about him. Can’t put my finger on it. I just came to the conclusion that maybe Cumby is more interesting maybe? Interesting looking or whatever but maybe he just stands out more? Its close but I do think Cumby tends to edge out hiddleston more.

      • icerose says:

        I find Benny more predictable with a conservative coating of veneer which tends to rub me the wrong way. Tom is just more of a people person who has an enquiring intellect which I find more interesting. One’s a cold damp squid the other a rainbow trout. Trout is tasty anytime but squid when its bad is unedible

      • DahliaDee says:

        @icerose:

        I don’t know, I’m sure, do I want to make out with you, or with your comment…?!? Decisions, decisions…

    • Mom2two says:

      I think Cumberbatch, right now is getting higher profile parts and therefore is getting the better scripts. Who knows what it will be like for both of them 5 years from now, but Cumberbatch definitely has the buzz in his favor and Hollywood loves the guy and the work he’s been putting out. That is not meant to be a slam on Hiddleston, who right now is not getting the scripts that Cumberbatch is getting.

      • Funny says:

        Thats funny because I would of thought since Avengers was such a huge hit Tom would be the one breaking out over Cumby. Avengers was so high profiled. But idk

      • icerose says:

        I agree re BC getting more buzz at the moment but these things come and go. Tom’s work may not be as high profile at the moment but he constantly gets great reviews and has a very diverse range. I suspect Benny is very safe in his choices whereas Tom’s choices seem to be more about intellectual exploration.

  17. deezee says:

    Funny how there does seem to be competition, mostly seen online though and probably not in real life. Benedict won though as far as venue goes, being the gala screening at Roy Thompson Hall. By the pictures, it looks like Tom was at Ryerson which is not as high profile. But if you wanted to get up and personal with a celeb, maybe get a picture of two with them, Ryerson is the best location of all of them since there is a more narrow area for the celebs, fans, and media. BTW, Elgin/Winter Garden is the WORSE if you’re trying to hit up a red carpet. There is only enough room on that side of the street for the media and ticket holders.

  18. Lucy says:

    Am I the only one who thinks Mia looks absolutely stunning? Almost didn’t recognize her!

    • Ai says:

      I am a fan of Mia W., so I recognized her but agree with you totally on that she looked very lovely! She can def dress with elegance! I have always wished for her a stylist that can guide her to her own fashion (better than those frumpy looks!)

  19. Huh says:

    I don’t see in the slightest how this dude is attractive. He has ‘Anyone Can be a Movie Star’ face. Milquetoast, unmemorable.

  20. Lovely says:

    I just cannot get into Tom. I don’t know what it is. I tried getting on the bandwagon but it’s just this wall that is there. He doesn’t even do it for me looks wise. Sorry!

  21. Mabs says:

    Is that make-up or a poorly applied tan?

  22. flower says:

    Hiddles is looking delish.

  23. Ginger says:

    Tommy is fine! thanks for the photos this morning… I will have to ward off his sappy sweetness since I’m currently waiting to take my fasting blood test…He might throw off my blood sugar levels. Sigh!

  24. FW says:

    I don’t need a BC in the thread of TH. If this is a competition, Lizard Face wins because he’s more interesting/bitchy/getting better scripts/everyone loves him/Hollywood loves him/he’s going to launch an Oscar this year. Hope I didn’t leave anything. I like Tom because I think he’s the better looking one and knows how to wear a suit. I don’t like BC because he’s so ugly to me. I hate I’m as shallow as that.

    • icerose says:

      Ther is not a winner but many fans are talking Cumberbatch fatigue. In reality they get along just fine. Both are excellent actors although I give Tom more kudos for diversity both in his roles and in his emotional umbrella. Both are potential Oscar material. Acting careers go through peaks and troughs. Ben’s is on a bit of a high right now but it will dip at some point. Acting is not all about how muscular you are thank goodness or we would be overwhelmed with some pretty boring performances. Tom if you see him with out clothes is slim but muscular but more importantly has the stage presence and a natural ability with Shakespearean text which will make his Coriolanus worth seeing. And he has a phenomenal memory which takes the edge of learning huge chunks of text and allows him to concentrate on the meaning and underlying emotion.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        Umm, how do you know what he looks like without clothes?

        😉

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        @Missmelissa, Deep Blue See has some nice neekidity. This man does indeed work out.

        Memorizing text by the way is all par for the course for professional actors. Have you ever gone through the rehearsal process? Trust me, it’s not about “memorizing” in the end so much as it is about really learning the role. The text sinks in fast. I am not saying it isn’t work, but I know a lot of actors wince when they are asked “How do you memorize all of those lines?”

        I don’t think TommyAnnE’s memory is any more phenomenal than any other actors.

      • icerose says:

        @Miss Jupitero Several directors have commented on his memory and it does help of you can retain text easily. And yes I trained in drama and dance for two years and have gone through the rehearsal process many times the quicker that you can get through the learning lines process the more time you have to make the words come alive. Working with someone who does not learn there lines quickly can be a real pain as it slows the momentum down and cuts across the emotional tension.

  25. Lou says:

    Is he wearing make up?

  26. MissThing says:

    Bene vs TommyannE The problem here is that my priorities are all over the map. I prefer dominant men (which I doubt very much Tom actually is) but I prefer intelligence as well and to me, while Bene has the better career track at the moment and is slightly less embarrassing, Tom is actually more intelligent. Sorry but Bene as lovely as he is, just doesn’t come off as all that bright. I mean he is definitely above average, but … that isn’t good enough. Also, he smokes. Sorry that is a no go for me. Period.

    Tom has ALOT of issues, baggage and such, but at the end of the day, he brings out the mothering instinct something fierce, so I think he will always win in a battle between these two (despite not being very dominant)

    BTW can we just have both at once?

    • DahliaDee says:

      @MissThing: Can you please explain where this debate on him being a dom/sub is coming from, because from the one public relationship he’s had, I haven’t seen any indication? I’m not trying to be condescending, I’m genuinely curious. And about the baggage/issues. Has there been any scandal I’m not aware of? Thank you in advance.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        Google “Naughty Hiddles” and read the text conversation he had with Gwen Christie (alas, you can only read her side because Hiddles removed his side from his MySpace account– but her said makes it very clear wjhat the dynamic is). I personally see a clear indication of bottom tendencies.

        Then of course there is the banana incident, which he reported on with great cheerfulness and pleasure.

        His perceived pervy qualities are not entirely in our imaginations.

      • Leah says:

        I’m not sure, and can’t answer for her, but I think she means personality wise, maybe? Like, Hiddles seems kind of like a… “people pleaser” I guess…

        I’m not sure, though!

        I could get on board with a pervy hiddles!! 😉

      • Samtha says:

        @Miss Jupitero, thank you for posting the Naughty Hiddles thing. I like him a lot more now that I know he’s a little pervy and not so vanilla!

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        “Naughty Hiddles” was a great relief to me to find because up until then, he just seemed too much like a cardboard PR product, kissing all the right asses and playing up to the fangirls.

        It’s too bad he plays it so safe and boring. But he is such an eager little beaver, so I guess there isn’t much he can do. I suspect that in real life behind closed doors when he is just himself, he is a lot of fun.

  27. LilyRose says:

    Double-breasted suit with a hint of velvet. Looking good. He gets an A+ from me. Mia looks lovely, the blond hair washes her out but the darker her seems to bring out her delicate features.

  28. Queen says:

    Tom Hiddleston is ugly sorry fangirls. Now give me ChriS Hemsworth anyday, week or year. Tom is disgusting.

  29. Browniecakes says:

    “I fear he would make a mess of sex.” I am willing to work through that with him, as long as it takes. Tom loves his job. (Luke, not so much!) TH looked great last night. What a great week for TH viewing. I can’t wait for the Thor promotion.

  30. Samtha says:

    I’ll take Rupert Penry-Jones over Hiddles or Cumby. Shame he doesn’t get more high-profile roles on this side of the pond. Well, a shame for me, but possibly not a shame for him. He seems happy with the amount of work he gets in the UK.

  31. Agnes says:

    According to Hollywood Reporter Hiddles is replacing Cumberbatch in Crimson Peak. I wonder if it’s true.

    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/tom-hiddleston-star-guillermo-del-623222

  32. Megan says:

    Isn’t it funny how Tommy boy gets left over parts from his superior peers? First it was replacing Fassbender in only lovers left alive. Now replacing Cumberbatch in Crimsons Peak. Lol

    • Browniecakes says:

      One of his co-stars will be Jessica Chastain – filming starts in Jan. 2014, a year after they were rumoured to be dating. Her camp said no, his camp said nothing.

    • Abby says:

      Agreed I personally think its pathetic that he is getting leftovers of Cumby…considering they both started together (at leat in hollywood)

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      This is standard operating procedure. Yes he is second fiddle, but if he really does well with the part, that will be forgotten quickly. I am glad he has something going on in 2014 that is t Loki or a third rate Disney flick. He needs the opportunity.

      • Sixer says:

        I just said pretty much this on the Cumby post. Once the film it out, nobody will even remember Benny’s name was in the frame. Getting work counts more than anything. Sloppy seconds notwithstanding.

      • Katie says:

        Agree. Actors drop out and get replaced all the time. This only got more attention than usual because it’s the second ‘rising’ actor exist, after Emma Stone.

    • icerose says:

      Yes and Benny just got a role that Brad Pitt had to exit from due to scheduling commitments. It happens all the time. But not to worry critics are saying Tilda and Tom are made for those roles so I guess it worked in JJ’s favour. From what Benny said at TIIF it was creative differences but as the rest of the cast signed the script off it could not have been that much of an issue. I suspect Benny is more conservative in his choices where as Tom loves a challenge.

    I was at the OLLA premiere last night and I got to tell you guys, he is much better looking in real life. Forget all these goofy photos. He looks nothing like this. He has very delicate, almost angelic features. And he is gorgeous when smiling, but it clearly doesn’t translate well on pictures.
    And those hands – they are HUGE!

      @lc – Thanks for the imagery – just in time for the weekend!

      Huge hands eh? Love it.

    • icerose says:

      I have heard that as well and am so looking forward to seeing if its true when he dies Coriolanus. I have also heard he has great stage presence.Mind you I am still in awe of Chiwetel Ejiofor who I saw in London a few months ago and is knocking them dead at TIFF. He is the big Oscar favourite at the moment and Benny’s Assange is paling in comparison

    Good Lord. Hiddles at the airport. Sigh. My new screensaver on….. well, everything I own.

    Oh TommyAnne, stop taking fassy and cumbatch discarded roles, it’ll only make you look awkard in it because they were written for them.
    I’m convinced his PR team are paying buzzfeed at the moment. A few weeks ago they couldn’t give a toss about our TommyAnne but now they mention him all the time ( not that I’m complaining) but I’m surprised because he’s the backup actor we all love but let’s face it, the only thing he has done majorly important was Loki (sad face)

    Meh, the fact that I can clearly see the fake tan on his face in EVERY single picture I’ve ever seen him in is a fairly big turn-off for me.

    • Browniecakes says:

      Everytime someone comments on his badly tanned skin, especially at the hairline, I think he must be driving around LA in a convertible. It’s a common look here in Hollywood. But, not likely in London.

    I love Mia, she is a good actress, I enjoyed her last movie Stoker, and she was good in Jane Eyre too.
    I was excited to see her in the upcoming “Carol”, playing Cate Blanchett’s lover. And now, she has been remplaced by Rooney Mara, UGHHH !!! I thought she was perfect for the role.

    Well, I don’t see why we cannot all just get along.

    I’ll be going back to sleep now….

    I didn’t even realize people pit BC and TH against each other until now.

    They’re very different actors. I don’t see them doing each other’s roles for the most part, so they can coexist just fine.

    As to why BC is bigger, he’s got better performances behind him.

    TH has the talent, but he’s not shown it fully on film projects yet. He’s got to back away from the press and fans and focus more for a bit.

    • icerose says:

      Katie I so agree. Benny is older and has many years playing smaller parts whereas Tom’s rise has been swifter. He seemed to move straight into significant parts right after RADA which brought him both acclaim and awards and then came Loki which has tended to override a lot of his earlier stuff. Benny’s climb has been slower but he has also won awards and been given praise along the way. Comparing them is like chalk and cheese -the only thing things they have in common are that they are English, went to public schools and started receiving international attention around the same time.

    My goodness naughtyhiddles and the my space thing is so old hat and has been dissected to pieces. Cannot believe people are still going on about it. It was a bit of fun with the actress who was playing his mother at the time. A very sexy lady and from all accounts they had great charisma on stage. Can never understand this desperation to find out the so called worst in people.

    • Mary-Rose says:

      Ok I admit I had a look. It made me laugh, I mean come on he was very young and not even famous then. Everybody makes mad choices now and again .
      It actually makes him more interesting. TommyAnne the bad boy eh? Quite like it! Hahahaha

    Also, it’s nice to see Mia wearing eyebrows.
