The ELLE UK Style Awards were held last night in London. Tom Hiddleston won “Man of the Year” but he did not come to the show. I guess he’s filming Crimson Peak and he couldn’t get away, which is also why he was not at the BAFTAs on Sunday. Poor Tommy. Two big red carpets and he had to miss them. I bet he cried into his velvet! Personally, I’m crying into my velvet a little bit. I miss Tommy. I want some new photos of him. Thankfully, he did make this new video for all of his dragonflies at ELLE UK. I can’t help it, I laughed at the beginning.
As for the people who did bother to show up, I have an assortment of photos for you! Here’s Emma Watson in Giambattista Valli S/S’14 and Christian Louboutin shoes. I don’t hate this at all. My one complaint: the slip of white at the bottom of the dress? That should be black.
Lily Allen in Roland Mouret and some of the worst bangs trauma I’ve ever seen in my life. These are almost definitely clip-in bangs. And they need to be burned. The dress is too structural for her figure too – I feel like she needs a softer silhouette.
Rita Ora in Marchesa. OMG. I know some of you like Rita so I won’t say anything too harsh, but my God. NO ONE should wear Marchesa, but it’s an especially bad match on Rita.
Olga Kurylenko in Isabel Marant. The ruffle at the bottom is awful. What could have been a cute dress now looks Forever 21.
Cara Delevingne looks like a cracked-out mess. I’m sorry. But no. Michelle Rodriguez just confirmed that she and Cara are dating too.

LOVE Tom…
Rita Ora R I P what is she wearing? She needs to darken the hair a bit looks crazy. I don’t understand how she is so popular with that one song/album.
She’s wearing Marchesa which means she’s sucking up to Harvey Weinstein. The only reason ANY starlet wears that label is to get in good with him.
Is Cara wearing a dress or a bathrobe? Emma looks the best, the others, ouch.
The dress makes it look like her breasts droop to her waist.
Rita looks like a hobbit in that outfit
“The Man Behind the Myth” – there’s a Hiddles myth? Have they been reading us?
Was he born of the conjunction of a cloud and a volcano, like the Crane Wife?
The truth about his stupid, perfect Disney Prince face is out. He is not of this world. He just needs to stop with the adorableness.
Actually, the truth is out:
http://www.thestudioexec.com/2013/02/tom-hiddleston-is-real-doctor-who.html?m=1
There’s a myth, we had a quiz on it last week, remember? It was open book… and TommyAnna kind of stood behind us as we took it. I think that’s why my grade was so shocking.
If it’s a typo that’s meant to read “the manhood behind the myth,” I am buying Elle for the first time in fifteen years.
Is that what that was? I thought it was a ruler and kept thinking “lord, what does he intend to measure with THAT?” Well shoot, now I wish I had let him crack my knuckles.
Miss Jane,
Don’t make excuses. You were just angling for a schoolroom detention.
*gasp* I resent the implication that I was trying to be anything less than the teachers pet! Why do you think I brought the leash and harness?
I assumed that was for TommyAnna. He was looking forward to a walk around the grounds.
Stay clear of the toolshed, though. That’s where I’m keeping Tom Hardy for my Lady Chatterly fantasies today.
That’s just an avatar. I have the Real Tom Hardy head down in my sandbags. For the impending, um, floods.
Ungrateful wretch. No wonder I keep banging my head on the floor. Now I’m rescinding my offer to send Cap’n Toby on his pirate ship to rescue you.
Oh noes! Not waving but drowning.
No call for that. You can have him back after I’ve dried out. He’s a bloke. He doesn’t watermark. Or, if he does, it only adds to the allure.
I cede the point. Tom would only take your sandbags, on the grounds that only by losing all if your material bonds can you connect with your true essence of humanity (while secretly taking them all go his house to guard his collection if Loki fan art).
Oh ladies you do make me laugh.
Fanty – the other way would be so much more interesting wouldn’t it?
*pants* Okay, I finally obtained a copy of the myth – I had to go to 7 places to find it. And my copy is kind of… damaged.
The myth states that when the King of the Flies of the Dragons sets down upon the Pond of Truth, summoning forth the Ducks of Privilege with verse, he shall bring with him an entitled chaos and scratch-resistant sunglasses. He shall issue forth a loquacious credo, binding bored housewives, rent boys and Pomeranians into a harmonious union.
But be warned, once the era of Iambic Pentameter has come, a great war shall erupt against the Tribe of the Hedgehogs. Penguins and Petulant Cats will be forced to take sides. The front lines shall attack with an assault of eye-rolling followed by catapults launching basterdized versions of each divinities name. Both numina shall apologize for things that have no relevance to the battle and expect their benevolence to be recognized, preferably with coffee drinks (with proper froth – none of that runny stuff.) They shall make propaganda films to inspire their troops, unfortunately distracting them instead with over-tailored trousers.
In the wake of the carnage, an anti-hero shall arise that will unify all factions into one, terrifying aggregation and that anti hero shall be named: Whoever That B!tch on His Arm Is.
Damaged, you say?
(*slow clap*)
I had listed it as “well-read” but the librarian made me pay for it anyway.
Oh my. It’s almost sleep time hereabouts and now I have thoughts of well-thumbed, um, things, running through my head.
That makes sense.
I have one question: as supreme commander-in-chief of the Hedgehog Army of Doom (please get our title right), do I at least get a cape?
I thought you were all about scarves in your legion?
Don’t ask me, I am having a heard enough time starching all of our army’s too-tight white dress shirts. And then I have to harness the d@mn Pomeranians to pull the half citroën chariot – that should take me well into tomorrow morning.
Hm. Good point. I could stitch all of the scarves together and make Fanty’s Technicolor Dream Cape. In about ninety shades of grey.
We don’t have dogs. Just chaffinches and owls. It could take some time to be ready for the battle. Fancy a G&T?
Oh darling yes, please. Be a dear and hold the T.
I’m truly baffled by some of those outfits.
I like the video. At least he’s having fun and not acting like he’s just won an Oscar.
*waits for someone to compare it to Cumby’s swim shorts speech*
*waits longer for someone to give out about someone mentioning Cumby*
*watches Directors Cut of all three Lord of the Rings movies while argument goes in a circle*
watches Directors Cut of all three Lord of the Rings movies while argument goes in a circle*
ROFLMAO
Throw in the Hobbit while we’re at it. It’s going to be awhile.
As someone on tumblr pointed out, he is probably a little drunk. I think I might like drunk Hiddleston.
He sounds a little drunk to me too… 🙂
Yes, a little bit of unperfect Hiddles… He has flaws!! YES!!
Hello, Lindy! Allow me:
Cumby cumby cumby cumby cumby…….
I’m sorry, I’m a bit delirious today.
Does this help?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SfQpGORLr8
@Lindy,
Ooooh! Thanks, Lindy, I’ve never seen that. Cute dragon—cute, cute, cute.
Oooh, the ‘Batch better be careful….otherwise he’ll have some crazy fangirls waiting for him with a leash and collar.
Ha! You took the comment right out of my mouth. Did the the LOTR marathon also contain the addendum? That would add another 18 hrs or so, and even that wouldn’t be enough to solve this never ending competition. Hope you have a comfy couch!
*heres some popcorn…you’re going to get munchy…*
I’m going to bring in a massive bean bag so I can have a sleep, I may get lost in the folds though so if I’m not out in 18 hours, please come and find me.
Don’t worry, Lindy, we will send a search party. In the mean time, you can let the soothing sounds of Viggo Mortensen’s voice carry you away on a soft cloud of fuzzy beanbags…
This comment is going into my CB comment fave file. 😀
He sounds and looks like he is suffering jet lag. Did somebody hit him with the overhead luggage compartment door?
Yeah – he really needs to tweetsplain his band-aid.
He is totally buzzed i that vid. Drunk Hiddles!
At the risk of side-eye for knowing too much about this and at the tempation of being snidey and snarkey – risk? Pah. Tempation? Can’t resist – I think Puddletom was simply not invited to the BAFTAs. They didn’t want him. He was around on Sunday – running in Regents Park. Clearly feeling left out or why else would he start tweeting his exact whereabouts again? He’s gone back off that whole fans schmans idea. Bless. It didn’t last long.
And HA to Man of the Year. Lukas of Windsorus is without doubt earning his pay.
*side eye to Miss “I’m Over Puddletom” there in the corner*
I couldn’t resist. You couldn’t resist.
Everything’s just as it should be in the Sixer Universe.
(Psst! Blokes!)
I’m so bloked up right now, that I might have to channel my memories of Bas Vegas and say Blaaaaaaaahkes!
By the way, how are you holding out with the floods? Are you in an ark?
I am on the top of a big old hill so am fine floodwise. Had the occasional loss of satellite but no power cuts. However, we do keep getting cut off as the rivers at the bottom of the hills flood all the roads out. Sixlets have been unable to get to school on several occasions. Lots of suffering nearby, though.
I am tempted to get the heck orrff the interwebz and download the first series of Luther for more blokeishness. No work this week, so no reason why not!
Sixer,
He flew to Toronto on Sunday, the selfie that was taken at the airport revealed the timing of this. It’s possible to go for a run and then to airport to catch a plane. Makes sense really.
btw, the D-list british actors/celebs that went to BAFTA’s was shocking. It is a massive theatre that needs filling. Seriously, they would have chopped their right arm off for Tom to be on that red-carpet.
And Lukas of Windsorus, he’s moved on to Emma Watson now.
‘p’enny (gosh, that’s a pain to type) – I think I may love you, since I am clearly not nearly well enough informed. You have delivered me from the Fanty side-eye.
Fanty! I demand a retraction!
Piffle. You still looked it up. Maybe I’ll give you a pass because you’re stranded. I don’t know if the Sixlets are too old for you to know this reference, but I now imagine you to live in the Peppa Pig house. No man is an island, except (in my head) Sixer.
Stay safe, lovely.
Ok, I’m struggling with a decent excuse. I admit it. But y’know. That was LAST WEEK, which was BB (Before Bloke).
My niece loved Peppa Pig. Actually, I quite like the picture!
@’p’enny – where can I see that selfie at the airport? Everyone is talking about it here…
Agree.He was one of the presenters last year and they are generally quite supportive of his work so my guess is he chose not to attend. Mind you Bafta’s are losing their critical focus and have just become to commercial and to USA orientated to be a taken seriously. They are now just as bad as the Oscars in terms of their film focus. But at least they gave best actor to the right person.
Dear boy looks very tipsey let alone jet lagged in this video and his throat is still pretty gravelly. Not like Tom to be at a loss for words.
The band aid was someone slamming a door on his head when he bent down to pick up his bag presumably at the Donmar just before the Coriolanus run ended.
Elle are certainly having a love affair with Tom at the moment. Move over Josh you have competition
I find it odd that he gets grief on this board for going to an “opening of an envelope” and not having proper film work lined up and then when he is starting a movie and misses an award show the snark comes out for that.
@Leah
As a regular to the Tom thread’s for the last couple of months, I take all the ribbing of Tom’s red-carpet activities now with good humour. Everyone who posts in the Tom threads seriously loves Tom, and goes bed with his picture on their pillow. But, they wont admit to it 😉
@sixer, why thank you for the love
Leah, that’s because for the 1st 6 months of last year he was going to the opening of an envelope (as regular posters on the board from that time recall). He’s an actor and its all about selling himself.
It’s called Cele”bitchy” for a reason :p
There’s always something to bitch about, even at the risk of sounding contradictory.
Contradictory is good. It’s my by-line. I retain the right to snark, despite and including all contradictions. Sorry Leah – it’s the stuff of life to me. I’m sure the Tommy-omelette can take it. Lorraine Candy loves him. I let him into my boudoir when I’m not all about the Bloke. What more could he want from his life? Aside from Miss Eyre, and she’s a given, which makes him a very lucky PR construct, oops, sorry, man, indeed.
See? I started out with good intentions and, as ever, it all went horribly wrong.
“Everyone who posts in the Tom threads seriously loves Tom, and goes bed with his picture on their pillow.”
Ridiculous statement, I most certainly do not go to bed with his picture on my pillow!! I place the picture underneath me actually and then I stare at SherLoki fan art while rubbing the edges smoothly…
@Sixer, contradict away! It makes us all human.
@Kelly, hahahaha!
‘P’enny
Nope, can’t keep pics on my pillow, hubby would get angry.. They are all saved on the Ipad 😛
this is pretty much the case with a Tom post here. Poor Tom can do nothing right .
I think he is a member of Bafta by virtue of his nomination so probably could have attended anyway regardless of whether was presenting. Besides which, when the tickets were available and presenters being chosen he was suppose to be in filming anyway.
But if he had attended it would have been Tom seeking out the limelight.
@Leah, I find it odd as well. I also find it odd that some keep saying he hasn’t worked in the past year, despite the fact that he just finished two months of 8 performances a week in a Shakespeare play, which probably also necessitated quite a bit of practice.
@icerose, so true. Also true if he had attended the RADA event with the Queen.
deleted, someone beat me to it.
While he comes across as a bit of a knob from time to time, he also seems incredibly sweet. And that little band-aid on his forehead (cute!)
“While he comes across as a bit of a knob from time to time”
don’t we all?
@treefingers – ‘a bit of a knob’ what do you mean by that? American here 🙂
@ItSetsYou
a way of saying a daft idiot
oh, so like a ‘tool’? I think most actors are, aren’t they? They take themselves seriously while trying not to show it and failing miserably.
I’m not sure what he’s done to deserve it either. Shouldn’t you have had to have done ‘something’? Or at least have had a bit of a banner year in your career? The video was sweet enough but have to stop short of endearing because “33 years young”. What is that? 33’s not old enough to be years young. Ugh. I like Tommy, love seeing new posts but sometimes the try hard gets too much.
Didn’t he speak properly just a week or so ago when he addressed the ‘fans may be going a wee bit overboard’ situation?
I don’t quite know what to say about the fashion line up. It’s one of the larger collection of no’s I’ve seen in a while.
I’m so bored of him winning all these blah PR awards. Funnily enough, Emma Watson also won the actress of the year award. Tom and Emma both won the GQ magazine man/woman of the year awards too. Conveniently Luke Windsor is the publicist for both of them. He’s really working those connections, yo.
Typical of Elle to say there’s a good story behind the injury and then not say what it is. Kind of ironic if he hurt himself in a silly accident after months of sword fighting every night and weeks of training. Cute video, but I wonder who filmed it/when. Maybe an afterparty because he looked wasted.
Did anybody see the tweets from Mark Gatiss? Tommy apparently treated him to a spa day after Coriolanus ended. Quite sweet.
They finally came out saying what happened. He was bending over to pick up a bag and someone opened the door, hitting him in the head. Boring.
HAHA!!
I know it’s perfectly innocent but I can’t help but hear a Little Britain type sketch about a politician ending up in a bush with a gentleman friend who he tripped over and was helping him tie his shoelaces…then they both realised he was wearing loafers.
Then my guess was accurate. I imagine lots of apologies for being in the way of the door and lots of apologies for bleeding and lots of apologies for needing a bandage.
That’s boring! Couldn’t they made something up? like headbutting Benny or something
I was pretending he’d gone on a bender after Coriolanus was finished and knocked his head into something at some wild after party, but that sounds like the more sensible explanation. Must be quite a nasty cut if he needs to keep a band aid on it.
Lunchcoma, I don’t know why, but the idea of Hiddles on a bender makes me laugh.
LOL. Must be a nasty cut if he’s wearing that bandage on it, or he’s just a big baby.
I agree, Janeite, but I know why I’m laughing! He’s ridiculous in the most amusing way possible when sober, so I suspect he’d be even more of that after a few drinks.
Well there is room to spice this story up by speculating what was in the bag he so desperately needed that he risked a door head-banging to get at it…
I personally think he stole the Stig’s helmet and was checking to make sure it was still there, hidden under his dragonfly jacket and jellybean supply…
He went utterly wild. I hear he had THREE whole Bacardi breezers.
I hear it was Malibu and pineapple juice.
Oh god, Sixer. I just had a flashback to my past, and my inner fifteen year old just retched, as though still on the pavement behind a nightclub in Southend.
Maybe it was a FatFrog?
*voms into mouth a little at the thought*
My brother had a flat mate when he was at university (Liverpool) who drank Malibu and pineapple juice. They were living in Toxteth, which was exceedingly rough at the time (don’t know if it still is) and they were broke, so drank in the cheapest and most spit and sawdust of pubs. And in would walk Gareth: “A Malibu and pineapple juice, please.” Snigger.
@T.fanty – Oh my, are you also from the mythical land of TOTS and slag’s wall – Southend? Please move your vomiting to the Fiesta with the speaker in the boot treble the worth of the rustbucket itself.
Toxteth, what still stands from being ‘regenerated’ (i.e. knocked down), is still fairly rough. But the pubs still like you drinking.
Wonder if he treated the rest of the cast too.
@joe spider
I wondered if treated the whole cast too, as an apology for the Hiddlestoners meltdown at SD each night.
http://www.elleuk.com/elle-style-awards/news/tom-hiddleston-plaster-elle-style-awards-accident#image=1
Here is the story behind the plaster…
I would have bet money that Tommy tripped and hit his head running away from fangirlz
Eve-that made me laugh harder than it should have
Someone opened the door as he bent down to pick up his bag, They tweeted it later.
And my guess is he did treat the whole cast to a spa day or some kind of cast present. He threw a disco party at the end of Avengers for the crew. Someone posted an invitation on line.
I like Tipsey Tom and 33 yrs young. I felt exactly the same at his age still do.
There is a nice Jim Jarmusch quote about Tom.
“”I’d seen him in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris”, and I thought: No, that’s not my guy. But I had the chance to meet him in New York and it was incredible. He was so tall and graceful and physically elegant, and he got every reference I threw at him.
‘Over the years, every time this project fell apart I’d call Tilda and she’d say, “It’s good, it means we weren’t ready yet.” We had to wait until we had all the right parts, and Tom was one of them.’
The dress that ate Rita Ora. Good Lord.
Love how TH thanks Lorraine Candy in the video. The woman who tweeted at Wimbeldon and couldn’t spell his name then. Could all this ELLE UK coverage since June be one big apology?
If it is, at least we all know now that if you accidentally call someone’s f** buddy their girlfriend on social media after you see them at a sporting event, the appropriate apology is not flowers, a nice hand written note or even a barber shop quarter singing Sorry by Madonna…
It’s a Man of the Year award and an over hyped interview in a magazine.
(we may all need to pool together to buy or set up one though, so it doesn’t cause any embarrassing delays in organising the apologies)
Oh, the temptation to snark… is almost overwhelming.
Lindy, you did make me laugh.
That was hilarious, Lindy!
I must not troll….about the said f/buddy
But Lindy, whatever they did, it worked! Tom is now well and truly under their thumb!!
Luke must fancy an ELLE employee and keeps throwing Tom at them so he has an excuse to go see them. Or is Tom secretly dating an ELLE employee but keeping it quiet so he allows the JA stories to keep circulating so nobody suspects the ELLE employee because the fans are all worried over JA and Tom gets to have secret ELLE g/f and JA gets…well nothing I guess!
My head hurts…
@SecretSquirrel, what, exactly, could he possibly do to stop the JA stories from circulating, since his repeated declarations of single status result in accusations of “liar!”?
@Browniecakes: Cynical journalist that I am, I’d wager that Ms. Candy, who clearly had never met Mr. Hiddleston prior to Wimbledon (she misspelled his name in her Tweet and responded to his irate fans) quickly deduced that any mention of him in Elle is guaranteed to sell many copies of the magazine which will win her BIG points with her publisher.
On a serious note, if Elle continues to constantly present him with meaningless awards they run the risk of killing the goose that laid the golden egg . At some point — maybe a year or more from now – he will be over-exposed to their readershipand will no longer be the “IT” man of the moment. Hiddleston needs to get nominated for and win some real acting awards.
Evie–does his Olivier count?
I guess it does, but it was for best newcomer 6 years ago and he’s won nothing ‘serious’ since then, with nothing on the horizon for the next couple of years at least. I don’t think he’ll be showered with golden statuettes for Thor 3. (He’ll be showered with even more ‘hot list’ MTV awards or GQ suit-wearer of the year instead).
You could argue the Sky arts award or whatever it was was a serious arty award, I can’t remember if it was voted for by the public or not.
And I agree with you Evie about overexposure since all of these magazine are in love with him. He’s never had a GQ or Esquire cover yet so there’ll be plenty more to come.
He is no more overexposed than a lot of other actors i.e. Benedict Cumberbatch, Micheal Fassbender and many more who are currently in vogue but he does make good copy so a lot of what he does tends to get repeated over the internet. His track record on performances is pretty good. Although some of them are small indie films he has yet to have a film bomb and his reviews are usually excellent to favourable. He also won an Ian Charlslton award for Othello at the Donmar.Not a bad start.
Froop–yes, and it’s been six years since he was last on stage. We’ll see how things go where Coriolanus is concerned.
Although *I*’ve certainly enjoyed his recent film work, it’s hardly been award bait. Sometimes careers just go that way, though. How many years between Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Olivier for Othello and his BAFTA?
@TotallyBiased: Yes, the Olivier award for Best Newcomer was a well earned accolade six years ago. But Hiddleston’s career is divided into two parts (thus far): BL and AL — Before Loki and After Loki. Very few people knew who he was when he won the Olivier award.
Yes, he’s done very credible acting aside from Loki, but Loki launched his career into the stratosphere, particularly with respect to his visibility on the Internet. There’s no denying his talent but in 2013 with all the openings he attended and faux awards he received + the Marvel PR Thor 2 global juggernaut (which was very hard work) Hiddleston got way more exposure than just about any actor I can think of.
In regard to award chasing,
Kate Winslet did a really funny sketch in Ricky Gervais’s Extras , dressed as a nun about type of film you need to be in to be nominated for awards. It really sums up award chasing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEnjiGwVw6o
When you think about it, he was nominated Best Newcomer by Bafta in 2012. Barely out of the starting blokes. Not all actors are jennifer lawrence and win everything before they are 25. Some are more Paul Newman and never win a thing.
@Froop, nothing on the horizon for the next few years at least? Again, so starring in a major production of a difficult Shakespeare play in London for two months, which has generated extremely favorable reviews that recommend his performance over those of Jude Law, David Tennant, and Simon Russel Beale, couldn’t possibly result in at least a nomination for another Olivier?
@Lilacflowers Yes thanks for mentioning Coriolanus which should be in the running this year for an Olivier. They should be announcing the nominees for that soon. I think they give those out in late April? And Evening Standard as well in the Fall?
I have my fingers crossed that he will get nominated for an Olivier, I would be gutted for him if he doesn’t get nominated. He has put in one hell of a lot of work on it. But the West End has been a very competitive place for good plays in 2013 and there have been loads of good leads to choose from. [allegedly, I can’t afford to go] Plus, the voting committee needs to see the play, and getting tickets might have been impossible for some.
Plus, if the West End have a bone to pick about bringing fangirl chaos to the cultural upperclass world of the theatre, then Tom Hiddleston, Jude Law, David Tennant and Matt Smith wont get a look in. LOL!
Chewie Olly, what’s his name? is flavour of the month and probably win the Olivier to make up being robbed at the upcoming Oscars.
@’p’enny – the Olivier committee get two (best and free) seats for every show. Including the civilian element. You can always apply for a civilian place on the committee next year. Just fill in the form on the website. I know someone who’s done it.
And I don’t think stunt or semi-stunt/fandom casting is a handicap – plenty of Oliviers have gone to that sort of thing.
@Sixer, if I lived in London, I would, nothing would stop me from hitting that theatre world. The Olivier committee are one lucky lot, I wonder if they get to see them all? Can your ‘someone’ get us any goss if Tommy is in the running?
I’ve just seen your second point, I didn’t mean stunt casting being the problem – I meant the fangirl chaos, queuing in the streets, squealing through performances, ruining the experience for more seasoned theatre goers. that kind of thing.
‘Fraid not. Sorry! They’re no more to do with the theatre world than any regular goer. And definitely not in any kind of know. I do know they’re expected to see A LOT of shows though.
@Jo-Ann, the Olivier nominations will be announced March 10 with the award ceremony on April 13.
@’P’enny, was Chewital in a play this season?
@lilacflowers
yes, Chewie was in play about the Congo??
as you can see I keep on top of the theatre plays with specific detail.
The absolute best part-
Hey Richard, has anyone ever told you you look like Loki’s dad?
Awesome.
I thought that was funny, and incredibly true. I think Tom [loki-look] and Richard are very alike, if they remake Scarlet Pimpernel, Tom would be great. However, my Richard E Grant’s Scarlet Pimpernel is pretty irreplaceable to me.
Loved that the Richard comment.
“‘p’enny says:
February 19, 2014 at 9:02 am
That’s boring! Couldn’t they made something up? like headbutting Benny or something”
I’m sure somebody already has, we just haven’t found it yet!
Why did Cara turn up in her night clothes?
How many beers did they give him?? He seems positively tipsy 😀
Rhohypnol. There’s probably the director’s cut floating around on tor somewhere.
Cold medication combined with a sip of beer???
Cold medication plus jet lag plus beer.
and just a hint of concussion! 🙂
I was going to add concussion in too!
What in Dante’s inferno are all these people wearing?
These are some of the worst things I’ve seen anyone wear! They must pull things out of their closets, throw them in a blender, put on their 7-inch heels & off they go. Why doesn’t someone tell them? There are lovely things out there they could wear—do they not know that? I am completely perplexed by this.
Well said!
Definitely drunk. He should be drunk all the time – makes him more likeable/cute. Does anyone else think he should date Emma or am I alone??
I’d like that pairing!
Emma Watson? Way too young.
He seems to have better chemistry with older women, I think he and Tilda Swinton rock.
p’enny: a week ago I would have totally been with you.
I’m so disappointed in Tilda Swinton. She was one of my fave actresses and red carpet stars. But I just read that she’s a *vocal* Polanski supporter. As such, she is not worthy of our Hiddles, who has way too much respect for women to support such a man.
Why, Tilda, whyyyyyyyyy??
Ugh no Tilda and Tom are on opposite sides of the spectrum. She would eat him and up and spit him out in an hour and he wouldn’t know how to function afterwards.
Oh my God…. Nobody knows here of her strange relationship arrangements? She also spoke about it in interviews.
She is a great actress but in real life she is quite a weirdo…
I just found out that Tilda is 53 years old. I had NO idea. I thought she was in her late 30s early 40s.
Tilda has two blokes, a husband and a young lover and is fairly bourgeois about her lifestyle. I don’t know about the Polanski thing. But, to be honest she is an intellectual heavy weight, with a background similiar to Tom’s. And I think Tom well and truly, by the sounds of it, met his match.
I recently read an interview with Jim J [london Time Out] about Tom and Tilda, and he was struggling to cast his vampire and Tilda said, when the right person comes along you will know – or something like that. He was introduced to Tom acting, via Midnight in Paris [he wouldnt watch marvel films LOL] didn’t think this guy was his Adam. But, met him anyway and chucked tons of literary/cultural stuff at him and he got everyone of his vibes -so to speak. Then, Tilda, Tom and Jim spent hours pouring their cultural love into the film. Sounds like a very heavy conversation or two for me. But, still I am really looking forward to this film.
Wasn’t Adam supposed to go to Fassbender (or someone) but he couldn’t fit filming into his schedule so only then did they cast Tom? Same thing with Ben and Crimson Peak.
@Dani
Check out the A-list film swapping for the film Jane Got a Gun, make Tom stepping into Fassbender and Ben’s shoes rather boring.
btw Ben has had his fair share of ‘falling’ into other actors shoes.
@’p’enny, actually that is no longer the case– for awhile there she was married to artist John Byrne and carried on a love relationship with Sandro Kopp, both at the same time, and she was the poster child for polyamory extolling in interviews about how perfect this arrangement was.
She is now divorced from Byrne, who has since remarried, and is living full time with Kopp. It sounds like it is all amicable and they live very close to one another for the sake of the children, but the open marriage thing is over. There was an article swirling about for awhile about just how complicated things were with Kopp (he apparently dumped his girlfriend via fax when he met Tilda), so I think the rosy veneer was just that.
All that said, I just love her. I think though that she is way over Hiddles’s head in everyway, and from what I have heard OLLA is her film all the way.
@’p’enny – I kind of see Tom going for an unconventional love triangle. I think he’d be up for it. He always says how he doesn’t know “what sexy is really” so I’m thinking he’s up for whatever. Polyamory or some other lovely Latin word would work with him just fine…
P – I have nothing against him (or others) falling into other people’s could have been roles. It just stuck out to me a little that the director/Tilda would say that when it was widely known it was supposed to be Fassbender.
@Missjupitero
I think youre right about Tilda, her love life and owning OLLA, she has invested a lot in this film, been with Jim from the film’s development for a long time. 7 years i read this films been in development. I’ll see it at the cinema on Sunday afternoon, curl up in a seat and enjoy.
@Dani
The article is on Time Out, London, search for Jim J and read it in full. Fassbender did drop out. They’re references was after Fassbender left, and Jim met Tom way back in 2011. This film has been in development for a long time. He also discussed Fassbender and Tom and their differences in the role of Adam.
@Itsetyou
Tom, i think, may well up for unconventional love situation in his mind. 😉 But, i’m just not sure if he can drop his polite upbringing enough to let go enough to fling himself about that way. I’m waiting for the National Enquirer love bomb to go off.
P – oooo thanks! will look into it when I need something to do at work tomorrow.
Also about the Tom/Tilda thing – I feel like he would be more into the traditional type of relationship (1+1) considering how effected he seems to be from his parents failed marriage.
@Shannon, please define “Polanski supporter?” No, I don’t support Polanski, I support his victim and believe that he should serve the prison sentence his victim wants him to serve. However, the sentence his victim wants him to serve and the sentence the State of California wants him to serve are different, with a judge having overruled a sentencing agreement over the repeated objections of the victim. The victim, who is now in her 40s, claims that the judge has caused her more pain than Polanski did and she believes the judge exploited her case for his own notoriety. Many actors and actresses have stated that they believe that Polanski should serve the sentence his victim wants, not the sentence the judge wants, and they get labeled “Polanski supporters” for doing so.
@Dani, actors and actresses get switched out of roles all the time. Ronald Reagan was attached to Casablanca. Shirley Temple to The Wizard of Oz. Neither of those worked out and the films were the better for it.
@Lilacflowers:
I get what you are saying but unfortunately, that is not the support I was referring to. She is part of the “free Polanski” movement.
“More than 100 film industry figures have now signed a petition calling for the release of Polanski, the acclaimed director of Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby and The Pianist. They include leading Hollywood figures Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Pedro Almodovar, *Tilda Swinton* and Monica Bellucci.”

Also see:
http://www.altfg.com/blog/politics/petition-for-roman-polanski-signatories/
The list above compiled everyone who signed the “free Polanski” petition. Her name is there along with the much – discussed Woody Allen signature. So very disappointed in Tilda. Guess this was an instance of my projecting values and ideas onto an actress I admire.
LOL…duck and cover Dani! You just love to throw out potential gossip grenades on these threads. 😀
Hiddles cannot date anyone, *ever*. The epic meltdown and hate filled rants regarding the lucky lady would create a massive internet cacophony! His only acceptable partner would probably be “that other actor that we dare not name here” just to fulfill all the fan fiction.
I think you’re confusing me with one of the other 3 Dani’s but I’ll duck anyway hahah
who is the other actor??? Am I missing something?
@Dani
The other actor is the ‘other one’ who throws fans on tumblr in a melt down, every time he ruffles his hair 😉
Oh dear…I didn’t know there are three Danis here! Sorry about that, but you are smart to still take cover. The sky is about to fall because they can’t both be mentioned on the same thread without dire consequences.The other actor *extremely low whisper* starts with a “benedict” and ends with a “cumberbatch”. Shhhhh….you didn’t hear it from me and I can say no more. 😉
Agh!!! p’enny….throwing in the “hair ruffle that shook the world” was cruel! How can our beloved Hiddles compete with that?
Quick -‘pull out the picture of him with Stig again!!
@Shannon1972
Hiddles competes…
in Thor 2 – the smile he throws at Jane after the slap.
oh and the close ups -big blue eyes shots in Avengers [ must be a female camera woman]
And talking tears, again in Coriolanus when he cries
And finally and best of all; Prince Hal in the steam-room in Henry 4th pt 2.
oooh I just remembered he does his own hair ruffle in Prince Hal, when it gets covered in beer.
I need to lie down….
ohhhhh I love Cumby! Way more than Hiddles. Hiddles has diarrhea of the mouth, way too often for me. But I’d take him if he kept quiet.
If I’m not wrong there is two other ‘Dani’s’ then Dani 2 and Danielle.
@Dani ‘Hiddles has diarrhea of the mouth’
now your setting up a heated war with a swipe like that, sshhhhh. LOL
We are trying to keep it nice between the Benny & Tom camps with a wedding, see, Kelly’s comments below.
p’enny,
You’re right! I lost focus after “Thor 2: the smile he throws at Jane after the slap”. Dancing bear turned sexy predator, it’s too much.
*feebly waves white flag from the floor*
hair ruffle?…..what’s…a….hair….ruffle?….must….watch….avengers….again….
Ha! See?? I told you this Dani likes her grenade bombs. LOL
And Hiddles does not have diarrhea of anything! He is pure and lovely and perfect in every way. Kind of like a male, sexy Mary Poppins. That other guy is nowhere near as perfect in every way as Hiddles is!
*stomps off in a huff*
(Peeks out from corner to look for any more incoming gossip grenades)
😉
hahahahah sorry sorry!! I think the Dani’s here have almost the same opinion on Hiddles. But he is really sexy, I’ll give him that. (when he keeps his mouth closed 😉 )
I like them both, but I genuinely think the Batches has more verbal diarrhea. He trips up and talks so much crap. I forgive him though.
@’p’enny – what kind of potential NE story do you have in mind?
Unlike Hemsworth I feel Hiddleston is the kind of man who would go for an unusual affair with what you wouldn’t call a typical beauty. This that tall blonde, forgot her name, that actress who looked rather large and a bit nutty.
@Itssetsyou
NE story?
A threesome with Helena Bonham Carter, he lives next door to her, she went to see him ‘twice’ in Coriolanus and they did the voiceover together for a radio thing about Pooh. She was way to sweet, every time she said ‘Says Pooh’ to Tom.
anyway, and Tim Burton and Helena have an unconventional relationship thing going on there, separate houses etc ., and he’s been caught snogging someone around the back alley of their local cinema…..
total National Enquirer story
Tom has it going for the older ladies….
Tom and who he would date… I just crack up every time I read these threads. Seriously there are tears of laughter streaming down my face right now. As for an Enquirer story, it could happen but I fear he is not popular enough in the ‘real’ world yet.
Oh my god! I just remembered KEN BRANAGH had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter when he was still married to Emma Thompson! Imagine HBC cheating on Burton with TommyAnne!! SCANDALOUS!! Oh Tommy, when they said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, i’m preety THAT’S not what they meant :p
Blasphemy! There’s only one person out there who’s perfect for him – his epic true love of course, Benedict Cumberbatch.
I volunteer to officiate the wedding!
You only want to officiate at the wedding so you can somehow twist the wording around and have them BOTH end up married to you! Kudos on your plan!!
They MUST tango up the aisle for Janeite’s sake.
Hi Squirrel! I am touched that you would think of me and my much-desired Hiddles/Cumby tango! I WILL find a way to make that happen, dammit!
Do you Benedict, accept this man Thomas to be your lawfully wedded husband in this marriage to the officiant present, to love and to hold the officiant, in sickness and health…… And do you Thomas accept Benedict and his officiant in marriage…..
Hey it might just work!!
@Dani, a while back an interviewer asked him about Emma and he smiled politely, shook his head, and said that she is not his type.
ouch!
From Elle’s wording it looks like they shot it themselves in his hotel room. I just want to know what’s the girl saying to which TH is shouting at the top of his voice “YES?? WHAT???” Also, given that it is in his hotel room, i can’t help but imagine his gettingetting ready only on the top half of hus body. I imagine he’s just wearing his pajama pants below :p
I’ve noticed that Elle always seem to shoot/film with their camera angles looking upwards. They really do like an excuse to be kneeling down and looking up at him.
I bet that is Jessica Chastain shouting in the background, telling him to get a move on, as they have a steamy affair to get on with.
I very much doubt ELLE UK flew to Toronto just to film this, imagine asking the money to do only that 🙂
It was probably recorded on Friday or Saturday, before he left.
It’s Jane asking if he’s taking her to Wimbledon this year… ;p
@Make mine a double What? JANE has been let out of dungeon? Never! puddletom would never allow that. It would ruin his reputation with tumblr obsessives if He had a girlfriend God forbid
@ZsaZsa, she’s allowed out if it’s dark and no one can see her. She has to travel in the boot of the car (with Sean Bean) and can only stay in the closet of any hotel room, so those beastly paps/tumblr stalkers can’t get a sneaky picture.
@kaisei, ELLE is part of an international corporation that has offices throughout the world, including Toronto. It wouldn’t take much for them to send one of their Toronto people over with a camera, which is what they claim to have done on their website.
Lilacflower, Tom already had his plaster when he landed in Toronto, so it happened in London before he left.
I forgot to add the plaster at Toronto airport was considerably smaller than the one in ELLEUK’s video.
Kaisei, that is possible but they do have bandages on airplanes.
Probably some woman from Elle telling him something. He sounded a bit rude to her.
I still don’t think he’s fully forgiven them for girlfriend gate.
I think it’s a tad hilarious these people are still on the Jane train. Do these girls really think a man would keep her hidden away for that long? Including attending parties without her? Tumblr is full of this stuff, I couldn’t believe some of the stuff I read. Do they think he hasn’t been with women they simply haven’t seen? I guess they want their crystal pony image so badly they’d rather believe he is desperately in love with someone he is protecting than lining up FWB’s as they come. Maybe it’s because they are all teens? I hope so at least.
She favourited a tweet about tom’s elle award. Im surprised she didn’t follow top gear , she usually follows all toms projects. Well, at least she followed the only lovers left alive twitter page.
@Dani I’ve heard she does that. it’s a bit despereate but hey ho 🙂 I couldn’t Be bothered if he’s doing whatever to her or not and I suspect that most normal fans feel the same.
The only people that do seem to care what people think is her and him and the odd weirdo on tumblr.
Live and let live. Life goes On. That’s what I say. Now where’s the wine and Benny? 😉
Ok. I wanted to say this for a long time, but didn’t want to appear stalkerish and creepy. I remember quite a few threads ago, probably the one related to Elle teasing about the article..someone here mentioned JA favoriting TH related stuff in twitter. I never bothered to check her favorites before and from the looks of it, a lot of people here (inlcuding me, i might add shamefully) checked out the favorites after the discussion. some also mentioned how she never favorited stuff directed at TH’s twitter profile and so she must be searching his tag. She favorited two more TH related tweets, both by fans and not linking @twhiddleston. That also got mentioned and discussed on that thread. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the last thing she fav’d. nothing after that even a month after, gave me the feeling that she might not have been aware of people checking and seeing her fav’s and also that she might have seen or got shown the discussion over here. Pheww..now that THAT’s off my chest, lemme go and drown in shame for being over interested.
@Ppp12, why on earth would you be so invested in checking someone’s twitter account?
I know..i know..and hence the shame. As i mentioned i checked it out after someone else mentioned it in a past thread and couldn’t actually believe she would do that in a publicly open account.
Lilacflowers: because. It’s. Fun.
Fun…well, I suppose that’s one word for it. Although not the one I would use.
Guys, please let’s not start any arguing about THIS! Once again, the only reason I checked out her account at all was because what I saw on an earlier thread right here in CB. Frankly speaking, it’s not like I stalk her account all the time. I don’t!i Just thought it was weird that she favorited those things even after wimbledon. I just wanted to share with you guys that I thought she might have recently become aware of people talking about her twitter activities. I really wasn’t expecting a reply like Lilacflower’s one either, especially after I said that I wasn’t particularly proud of my actions.
Ppp12, you brought this issue up. If other commenters want to talk about it, that is up to them.
Ppl may have brought it up – as she is perfectly entitled to – but it was Lilac who brought the rudeness. Who is anyone here to take another to task for the way thsy express their interest in a celeb? Pots and kettles.
@janeite..i have no problem people talking about it but i would hate to be the person who started the arguement over whether checking someone’s twitter account was wrong or not. I don’t really agree that it’s fun to check her account but i also think lilacflower’s reply was a bit harsh. No hard feelings, though. Again, checking on her account –> not one of my proudest accomplishments.
Sixer, any post that is made on here opens the door for other posters to express their opinions. While we may not always agree on how those opinions are expressed, I do think we can agree that they have just as much right to express them as anyone else. Are we really going to start censoring posters for how they express themselves now? I hope not.
if what is being said is true about her favouriting tweets like that, then it is clear she’s no longer in contact with him. She wouldn’t need to do that if she was still his FWB or girlfriend.
Now lets move on
@Sixer
Thank you. Been saying this for weeks.
@Sixer, Jane Arthy is NOT a celebrity, nor a public person. The most that can be said is that she is a neighbor of several people who are. Checking on what anyone follows or unfollows on a Twitter account reveals absolutely nothing about a person or a relationship and is just plain creepy and, no, it is not rude to point that out. I took nobody to task for anything.
On a positive note, this whole thing has taught me to regularly check my twitter favorites and people I’m following just in case I accidentally hit something while I’m scrolling.
I’ve got to confess I’ve favourited many tweets on the actor Chris Evans after I met him at a premier. This must mean I’m his secret girlfriend or F-buddy now. It’s exactly what I as I non famous woman would do when he wants to keep me secret.
@ZsaZsa, Chris is my secret husband because he sat directly in front of me at a Celtics game, he lives next door to my old office building, and his uncle was my mayor and is now my congressional representative. But you may borrow him, secretly of course, on Wednesdays.
If you can’t beat them
@Miss Melissa if you are referring to the Wimbledon photos then no he wasn’t being affectionate. His hands were together and his body turned away.
Why would anyone want to be hidden away from the world by their boyfriend?
Nobody cares about who he dates. Nobody. He could show up with a different woman at a different event and nobody would care.
You really think he’d hide away someone he really likes after all that he says about love? Give the man some credit
Now Sean bean in the boot of his car is another matter
@Pretzel – or just boxers? A nice dinner jacket with a tie and all and boxers. Maybe socks. What a lovely thought 🙂
I think he wears Quill patterns on his boxers or love hearts when he’s got Ben round
Just want to say “thank you for the Hiddles post!”
These threads drain more time than any other for me. It’s not enough to just read the (always excellent!) post, I have to read every. single. one. of the hilarious comments too. They are such fun!! Next thing I know, an hour has passed. The Hiddles Time Warp is real.
His speech wasn’t as bad as the MTV Awards, where he treated it like he won a freaking Oscar, in a full suit….but it was still pretty silly. I hate when actors say that ‘I don’t know that I deserve this…’, when they get awards from magazines–their pr got them the award. Don’t act surprised.
I still physically cringe when looking at that MTV video.
Still.. the bum clenching is a good workout, better than squats.
I haven’t seen the MTV acceptance speech as I prefer my Hiddles to be pure and untainted! Read enough about it to know what happened though. I’m sure he was just a bit excited for a recognized award (yes, crap like MTV is recognized). These magazine/internet polls are pretty skewy and don’t really pack much punch.
Of course he won ELLE’s award… He is their contractually-obliged golden haired boy for the next year.
Does he have a cold?
Can I tell you all what he to a Russian journalist said about being romantic? He said that back when he was in college and had so say no’ to help his girlfriend move to Paris, because he couldn’t miss an important audition, he changed his mind at the last moment. Got on a train, called her friend to find out where she or was at that moment, and surprised her by walking up behind at the Luxhemburg Gardens. She was buying ice cream and couldn’t decide on a flavor when she heard him behind saying ‘tough choice, isn’t it?”
Here http://www.kinopoisk.ru/interview/2267955/
I’ve wondered whether that was a legit quote. An English version of it has been floating around Tumblr and it made me gag it was so saccharine. Not that I begrudge him for being a romantic (who doesn’t love an occasional grand gesture?), but it can be a bit much to read or hear about sometimes. This must be the first girlfriend he was properly in love with, according to that Tigerbeat Elle interview, no?
I’ve read it in some legit interview, though I don’t remember which one at the moment. And, honestly, it made me cringe a bit, because I’m terribly wary of men who are prone to big, romantic gestures. On the other hand, he was something like 21 when that story took place, and it was told in a way that made it sound like he’s more level-headed these days.
It’s legit, the person who did the translation on tumblr always linked the original Russian article and if you put the text in google translator it confirms the tumblr translation.
IIRC correctly, someone on a Puddletom thread on this site called BS on the Puddletom for this. Whilst waxing lyrical, he forgot that he couldn’t have got the Eurotunnel from Kings Cross station because at that time it went from Waterloo. I’m sure it was dissected in detail ages ago on here.
Ha.
He fibbed! It’s ok though: Luke gave him the script, as always. It’s Luke’s fault, obviously, as always.
And I remember far too much for my good health, I am sure. Hoping Fanty isn’t reading this far down.
I translated it myself (I speak Russian) so unless the reporter made things up, that’s exactly what Tom told him. And yes, I think he mentioned something about being in his very early twenties. The thing that did make me cringe a little is Hiddleston adding how “this question (‘tough choice isn’t it?’) had a deeper meaning than I thought at the moment.” He missed a very important audition for love and then got all philosophical about it. So did he do it for that woman really? I find that men who express their feelings in a grand way expect the same in return. They are in love with love.
But then, again, he was only twenty 😉
You are all so cynical!! If I could have a grand gesture like this just ONCE in my life, I would be happy. Instead I attract the kind of men who think a romantic gesture is giving me a small bunch of flowers…plucked from my own garden…with roots and dirt still attached…
*frowns*
To be fair his g/f was moving to Paris, so I would imagine they both knew the distance was going to be a relationship-killer. What’s the harm in one final grand gesture of love. Lucky girl got Hiddles and ice cream on the same day!
@squirrel, poor garden! 😉
I agree. Give me that saccharine! There’s real time, then there’s time for diabetic, vomit-inducing romantic gestures on a perfect day.
*skulks in*
Sideeye
*skulks out*
I’d have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those pesky kids (Fantys).
I also wonder if it’s legit.
I’m sure the Tumblr people translated the Russian magazine article correctly, but I kinda doubt Tom actually said what was written in that magazine.
Mila Kunis speaks Russian and in past interviews she’s said that when she’s gone to Russia to promote a movie, the translations for her non-Russian speaking co-stars are never what was actually said and it goes both ways.
She said when a journalist asked a question in Russian, her co-stars would get an English translation that was not what the journalist actually asked. Then, when her co-stars answered in English, the journalist would get a Russian translation that was not what her co-star actually answered.
Mila said she thinks the translators give an interpretation of what they think is being asked/answered and add their own embellishments.
There is an illegitimate quote attached to Tom that’s going around Tumblr (there’s actually a post where someone admits to making it up) but I think I actually saw an interview where he talks about this. Everyone’s all awwww, so romantic but what I understood was that he regrets the grand romantic gesture and wishes he had gone to the audition instead.
Yes, he does still sound to be fighting off the cold that the entire Coriolanus cast picked up. He sounded less bad on Top Gear, which was just a week ago. He’s not taking good care of himself. Poor darling Hiddles. He probably had a setback with his recovery while doing something overly romantic for the Elle staff, who hilariously suggests that he might’ve gotten his boo boo during a sex game gone wrong.
Is this the Crimson Peak hair? I was kind of hoping for a return of the longer Prince Hal ginger, to match Jessica Chastain’s locks. Hot gingery incestuous siblings.
I think his Crimson Peak hair will be a black wig. It’s set in Victorian times and his current short back and sides won’t be right.
Plus, they will white him out as he is supposed to be very pale.
I wonder if he will have Victorian side burns mmmm
@penny you mean like the ones in the bottom left?
http://24.media.tumblr.com/ee2b5f5edb23be466bf0434fa4e5c8ae/tumblr_mm9j9aBrjy1s77baxo1_1280.jpg
don’t men usually plaster their hair to their head at that time? A bit of a side parting and finished with a top hat?
@poppyseed
ROFLMAO
PLEEEEEEASE NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
he would could the make-up artist – Tom wouldnt put up with that look, any of them looks. I hope.
If he has Victoriain sideburns they will have to be false because it is noticeable he hasn’t got any of his own!!
@ sixer, or perhaps his memory played tricks, or he got a tube from KC to Waterloo.
We are investing too much time on this I think. 🙂
Too much time? Nonsense, Joe! I’m sure there are many more reasons for relating fake anecdotes we could come up with. In fact, it could be a good game.
For example:
I’m sure he didn’t make it up because it’s the stuff and nonsense his fans like to hear. Surely the audition was for Doctor Who and trips in the TARDIS meant that he left from Kings Cross BEFORE the girlfriend went via Waterloo.
See? Good game.
You’ve obviously had more practice at this than me!!
@joe spider agree. memory can be a tricky thing, especially when you’re recalling an event that happened 10 years ago. it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen, just that it didn’t happen in exactly the manner in which he described it. i’ve heard my husband get small details of stories wrong all the time, but i don’t usually bother to correct him. it’s typically not relevant to the point of the story anyway.
I would do more, Joe, but a) I’m afraid I’d go on a roll and cause a Sixer Is The Meanest Person On A Puddletom Post Ever meltdown hereabouts complete with farther and farther fetched reasons why he DIDN’T make it up, and b) I’m in the middle of a ruthless battle with Sixlet Minor. Who will do better at Pointless today? The fools of finalists have chosen American sport as their final topic so it’s bound to be a victory for the Sixlet. Russnfussn.
As excuses go it’s not bad, to quote a certain actress!
He won. Bah. You realise this means I must do his dishwasher-emptying?
He says “he used to be romantic” and the romantic gesture he remembers happened more than 10 years ago. Mmmm, so he’s NOT a romantic.
I’ve always had a feeling that this Russian interview was one which was more or less embellished by the reporter himself. I mean, Hiddles is a sucker for recycling stories and interview points (hint: piano notes reference, Shakespeare). If he said THAT to a russian mag, I’m sure he would have somehow brought it up in any of the major English language interviews. Till the Elle interview, he hasn’t mentioned anything romance related in recent times. He mentioned romantic gestures like long impromptu road trips in his very, early interviews. But nothing of that sort till Elle, I remember there was another interview of him, during the Thor press, with a Japanese or Korean mag aimed at kids. The quotes there seemed pretty much made up too.
The only way to know for sure would be to ask the man himself, lacking that, let’s take it as something that might very well be true.
But about him not having done romantic gestures in recent times, he talked about his romantic day in NY when he was dating Susannah and in this 2012 interview he said this about how to spend S.Valentine
“KA:If you were taking a date out in London on Valentine’s Day, where would you go?
TH: Well now that would be telling, wouldn’t it? I think if you’re going to be conventionally romantic you’ve got to go all the way: a beautiful dinner somewhere lovely, with boat-loads of flowers, chocolates and champagne. But it might also be nice to wrap up warm and sit on a roof somewhere, with a cup of hot soup and your girl, watch the planes come in over London and listen to the night.”
http://www.run-riot.com/articles/blogs/katie-antoniou-interviews-tom-hiddleston
@kaisei..this was one of the interviews I was referring to when I said “his earlier interviews”. The other one about the road trips was also from the time he was dating Susannah. By recent times, I meant 2013, especially during the Thor press tour. He is way more guarded now than he was in post Thor 1 days. All I am saying is, the russian interview quotes are not quite the stuff that he usually talks about now.
ok, our definition of earlier and recent are different 🙂
In 2013 there’s that thing he said in Flaunt interview about Haneke’s film Amour,
“‘So, you know, this is what you want. This is the intimacy that you’ll be lucky to have when you get to the end of your life…’ When I saw it, I couldn’t stop thinking about that film for an entire month. It just made everything else seem so flippant and disposable.”
Or that interview in China during Thor2 promotional tour, when he was asked what true love is for him and he quoted a Shakespeare’s sonnet.
I don’t know if either qualifies though.
I get your point, but to me that Russian interview seems too detailed to be made up, or maybe it’s just that I like romance in life 😉
I really hope the Russian magazine made that one up, Jesus….
Toe curling guy. He makes my skin crawl.

Joe Spider is right. The most obvious explanation is the most believable. Thor did it
I’ve missed the Hiddles posts. There hasn’t been one in more than a week! I was checking out Tumbler with my 12 year old who adores Tom more than I do. much of it was sweet, funny, creative fangirls stuff some of it is just filthy and really off the rails. I usually don’t clutch my pearls at such things but aren’t there a lot of young teens on there? Is it them posting this stuff?
Tumblr should come with a over -15 warning, search for Loki and all sorts of over-the-top-fantasties come up.
It’s good for quick of the mark for fan-slamming selfies and the best place ever for funny gifs. It’s the gifs is the reason i head into Tumblr.
After she got bored of looking for Narnia in the back of her wardrobe. The poor girl was distraught
My CBBaby, so humble and grateful. What happened to his forehead? Du he get hurt trying to call secretly while J.eyre was looking for him?
No, the “hurt” came when I caught him with said phone and I used its cord to keep him where I could find him. As for you, Missy…
Uh Oh
We were having a fun game. Miss Jane had blindfolded him, and he had to find his way out of Thornfield using only his heightened sense of hearing, and me, leading the way by skipping gaily ahead, softly reciting The Rape of Lucrece, just within earshot. Which didn’t help because Cumby was in the adjacent room, once more regaling the poor maids with the tale of his Olivier win, and poor Tom crashed headlong into the dresser when he heard Cumby screaming like a girl, because thought I had got to Tarquin’s ravishment, and that was his cue to take a sharp left.
Speaking of which, we are going to have to move the Curious Sofa into the Sunroom to dry out… again. I am sorry, Fanty but either Cumby is going to have to stop telling that story or we can’t allow beverages on the furniture any more. TommyAnna has knocked himself so silly he now thinks he truly is Tarquin and he keeps making laurels out of the phone cords. Not to mention his Latin is not quite as good as it used to be and CHemboy keeps fetching Mentos for him as a result – its a bit more than I can handle right now. I will be in the Buttery.
Ok this was recorded before he went to Canada. If you have seen the recent fan photos taken on sunday from the airport, it is clear he has shaved his beard off. In this video he still has it.
Also that is non alcoholic beer he’s drinking. I recognise the bottle
Bah hah hah. Only Hiddles could look drunk on non-alcoholic beer!
Its probably filmed at the end party for Coriolanus and he would still be pretty shattered I would imagine (why else would he be in a motel when still in London??). He’s drunk on lack of sleep! (or just switched bottles for the video to keep his reputation in tact for his younger fans).
I think your guess about the party is correct. I recognize the room (actually the curtain fabric – god help me, that sounds random and a little pathetic) the video was filmed in…it’s a hotel in London not far from the Donmar. BTW – It’s not an actual hotel room but one of the hotel’s drawing rooms that can be reserved for private events.
Plus he already had the plaster when he landed at Toronto airport.
Are there recent Toronto pictures somewhere? I keep reading references to them, but haven’t seen any.

The left pic is the half of the one he took with the poor girl who received so much hate for daring asking for a photo. If you browse this user you’ll find the original.
Full list of his girlfriends?? Hehehehe

Not so full a list. Gwen Christie is missing.
@Barbie – Indeed. I find it interesting none of them picked up on his comment in the ElleUK interview where he said that ‘they’ (the fans) wouldn’t want to know about his private life. I don’t think their starry eyes could handle it.
@MissThing I picked up on that comment but only because it was said word for word on here. Most fans like me don’t care who he dates. i don’t think he should be paranoid about keeping any relationship secret because a few obsessives. He should let them deal with it as it’s their problems and not his. We can’t expect him to keep his life on hold in fear of offending a few fans.
MissThing
I don’t think he said anything of the sort in Elle magazine, if he did, please let me know. I just rescanned that interview and not found it. He did say though in Time Out, “Nobody else needs to know anything more, and – in a way – they really don’t want to.”
Can we just not reply to MissThing, it’s well established she’s one of the fruitloops of the fandom who claimed to have had some imaginary, long distance non-relationship with TH (which was well and truly debunked). She’s well known on this site to fan the flames by laying the bait leaving vague details about how much of a womanzier Tom is (who cares?) and then waits for someone to bite, just like she has above. I love reading these posts (I rarely comment) but whenever she appears the proverbial cr** hits the fan and the threads just go insane.
@MissThing, I genuinely believe you need therapy.
Where’s bunny on that list?
And Chris Hemsworth?
@lilac they’ve also missed out Benny, both Marks and Sean Bean in the boot.
We must never forget Sean Bean in the boot.
I think Sean is feeling very neglected in the boot at the moment. The only company he’s had recently really wasn’t very exciting and she’s not even stalking him on twitter.
*strokes Sean and starts favouriting everything he likes on Twitter*
That’s a small sad list indeed, even for BS rumor standards…
Just saw the Coriolanus live cast Tuesday night. He did a good job. He seems like a really cool person just to hang with, ya know?
Arrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Get your coat.
“Hooray?!” https://twitter.com/Markgatiss/status/435476742514294785
Act natural dear, stop posing,hope you read this to..Love you, Tommy..>God I love Loki!
Ah, he’s so cute.
And it’s kind of impressive that drunk, sick and injured, he can show up in full TommyAnnE mode.
You can’t get drunk on non-alcholic beer though 😉
Plaster works for the horror movie he’s now filming. Just take it off – ready to roll.
