Here are some additional photos of Tom Hiddleston at the BAFTAs on Sunday. While Tom wasn’t nominated for a BAFTA, he got to present the final award (Best Film) along with Noomi Rapace (who looked terrible). That’s quite a prestigious presenting position for Tom, and I sort of wonder if he’s “there” yet? Like, is he famous or interesting enough that people are like, “Oh, it makes sense that Tom Hiddleston came out to present the biggest award of the night”? Hm. Especially given that the most recent stories about him were A) his hilariously extra GQ interview in which he over-explained the The Great and Glorious Tiddlebanging of 2016 and B) the BBC running an actual story about whether Tom’s try-hard is ruining his celebrity “brand.”
Anyway, in the midst of all of the Hiddledrama and Hiddleshame and Hiddlextra, I sort of missed that his birthday fell on February 9th. That was the day after his GQ interview dropped, incidentally. So he spent the day before his birthday reading coverage of his GQ interview and how poorly that was received. Then yesterday (Monday the 13th) he tweeted this:
In other news, I turned 36 last week. Huge thanks to everyone who said hello. I went for a run in the rain, had a piece of cake. On we go.
— Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) February 13, 2017
This is being called “the saddest birthday” tweet ever. I don’t know, you guys. Like, this makes me feel a little bit sorry for him, that he’s being mocked because of his birthday tweet. There’s no crime in spending your birthday quietly, going for a run and having a piece of cake. Although I hate to exercise when it’s raining – the high humidity slows me down and makes me sweat even more than usual. But Tom loves to run, so maybe he just decided to do what he wanted for his birthday.
Also: do you think his tweet was aimed at garnering sympathy? Perhaps.

How is that the saddest birthday ever? I call anytime you don’t have to work on your birthday a success. He’s 36, not 21. He’s not going to be throwing a huge star studded event with a paid photographer like an ex girlfriend would. I think it’s one of the least thirstiest things he’s done since the summer.
Yeah, his Birthday seems completely fine.
Think people are reading way too much into this tweet. IMO, all he’s doing is thanking people.
Just sounds like your basic adult birthday. Alleycat- ex-girlfriend shade is spot on.
Fan girl projection perhaps. I don’t see anything wrong with his post, he said thank you and “on we go” suggests he didn’t want to make a fuss of it.
I’m a decade younger than him and for my 26th birthday I went to work, had ice cream cake with my kid and husband and went to bed early. Best birthday ever!
OMG ice cream cake!! Best birthday ever!
Thank you
This is becoming such a pile on
Come have some cake and ice cream.
YUMMMM
Let’s invite Tom. I think he’s still up 😂😂😂🍾🍷🍻
Yeah, I’m not really seeing the problem–huge birthday blowouts are a very American thing, and not at all the norm in the rest of the world.
@ Alleycat I think it’s because of the interview with gq that didn’t go over well. It makes him seem like he is still pinning for Taylor Swift. So now everyone is saying “oh Tom Hiddleston is sad and depressed” People are also still dragging him for that bad speech at the golden globes. I feel bad for the poor guy. I don’t know him but he doesn’t strike me as the type to throw a big bash and invite every famous person he knows. It seems like no matter he says people will drag him
Tom, let it go. i understand he has to be seen as the victim before master victim Taylor says she was the victim but this is just pathetic.
He’s a bit pathetic…..
“do you think his tweet was aimed at garnering sympathy?”
Yes. Also, I don’t think he ran for the whole day and only ate cake, right? He wanted to highlight those two things in particular, which undoubtedly had the effect of making him look sad and pathetic.
Maybe the tweet was passive aggressively aimed at his family and friends. As in they all forgot and poor Tom was too Eton educated to mention it, so he ended up cry-running in the rain and buying himself a frozen Sara Lee pound cake. Who hasnt been there 🙁
he ‘s such a drama king i m livin’ for it.i really hope for him he’s trolling
Logically neither he or Noomi Rapace are big enough names for “last award” but maybe the BAFTAS was just “meh, whomever”.
That tweet! From most people it would barely register but from him? Fits the pattern. Oh honey, unclench, seriously.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with how he spent his birthday. Each year, I feel like it’s just another day. But Tom should look into getting/changing his PR, he seems to unintentionally manage to do things that add fire to the fuel…as if the Internet wouldn’t make fun of that tweet. Come on.
He’s like a male Anne Hathaway.
No one had a sadder birthday than Kirk Cameron.

(I will use any excuse to post this picture, because it’s my favorite thing)
Hahaha! That picture is everything. Thank you for making my day 😀
Don’t worry, I’m sure the after party with his boyfriend was much more fun for him!
Not every homophobe is secretly gay, some are just awful.
You’re doing important work. I’ll be watching to see how often you can wedge it in here!
The fact that whoever put that on couldn’t even bother to unwrap the sandwiches and create a proper display says it all.
Or remove the half-filled bottle of OJ from the table.
Always post that picture!
Lmao!!
unfortunately while #SadKeanu moves my heart to comfort the man if i ever came across one,
#SadTom just doesn’t move me at all.
Tom has his uses, e.g. in Coriolanus, but I’d take Keanu in any shape or form – sad, happy, funny, whatever!
I remember some time ago someone pointed to someone in guardian theatre pages who claimed to have some knowledge acalled him extremly ambitious and very lonely. All his stans insisted that commentator was just a troll. More and more I think that was the truth. He just seems like a guy who has no work and life balance. Like he’s all about becoming the next hw superstar.
“I remember some time ago someone pointed to someone in guardian theatre pages who claimed to have some knowledge acalled him extremly ambitious and very lonely.”
Friend of mine claimed the same, although she was an acquaintance of an ex girlfriend, not sure how we can rely on that info…
As a general rule, people involved in theatre and movies tend to be ambitious and lonely, all of them, call it a collateral effect of the job. It’s one of the reasons (or one of the most important ones) I abandoned the entertainment field in my 20ies.
Most of the people I know in entertainment have pretty large social circles. There’s so much networking required for the job that they’re pretty social animals.
That said, Tom has always struck me as a bit of a loner. He’s one of the only actors who I can’t recall ever seeing with friends on social media posts.
I used to work behind the stage in theatres when I was a student here in London just so I could see free shows. Wouldn’t say most theatre actors are lonesome. On the contrary most of them are outgoing and peoples persons. People like Tom hardy for instance ambitious and hardworking yes, but would also hang out with us “randoms” behind the stage people after the show. A lot of them were quite approachable and fun. It’s definetly a very social job more so then any other industry I have been involved in. Hiddles seems to be very serious like he’s always in work mode.
I think the loneliness comes at a later stage when they have reached a certain level, where their fame is alienating them from other people
I work in theatre in London (have posted about it many times here) and yeah, his ambitions and thirst are super well known and gossiped about it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it — ambition and having goals are really good, important things – but even by industry standards he is especially ambitious.
I don’t know about lonely. I don’t know about film as I’ve worked very little there, but theatre is super social and you really do have to find your “tribe” and your own people and support network if you’re planning a long career here. I’m lucky to be working at and to have previously worked with some amazing companies and theatres that are truly supportive. I think it is a theatre thing and that theatre is very different from film, but I don’t think in general the industry is a lonely place unless you let it be. Though it does depend on what job you do. I acted briefly and found it much harder psychologically than doing a creative role behind the scenes. Just so much competition and you’re actively thrust into direct competition in a way directors, writers etc rarely are.
Gosh that’s long! Can you tell I’m procrastinating deadlines?
Film and tv are social. Meals, parties, socializing offset, between jobs, etc.. Obviously, there are individuals who are loners, but, usually, crews hang out, post-prod people hang out, talent hangs out with its/their own group(s) outside of work. Lots of bonds and friendships are made on sets and in post.
“As a general rule, people involved in theatre and movies tend to be ambitious and lonely, all of them, call it a collateral effect of the job.”
For these people, is not an effect. These types are drawn to the work. You have the cause and effect backwards.
Can you even be an actor without huge ambition, self esteem, love for attention and exhibitionism? It sounds such a dog eat dog industry to me. I’d hate it if I had to compete with my friends for jobs all the time.
Does that ever cause a problem? I think it must suck to think you lost a job you deserved to somebody you deem less worthy, but it must suck twice as hard if that person is your friend (or your worst enemy). Or are actors usually mature enough to understand this isn’t personal?
God yeah, there are tons of actors who are shy and introverted, or have low self esteem. And not all actors have a desire for fame, some genuinely are only interested in acting and actively shun any role that would involve publicity. The actress playing the lead in my current play is an extreme introvert and is really struggling with having to lead; she much prefers supporting/ensemble work.
I think something like only 2% of actors are employed, which means you have to be either really lucky or a real go getter to make it. So if you’re the type of person who wants to succeed you will be working your butt off & pulling all the punches to get work.
Spiderpig – even if it was procrastination, I found it interesting. I live in LA, so my knowledge base is with TV / film actors.
And Crox: yes, jealousy and insecurity is a huge part of the industry. I know a character actress who most people have likely seen in either movies or TV (even if they don’t necessarily know her), and she even laughs about what a mean girl she can be. I know another actor (a straight man) who, much as he loved acting, switched careers and moved to get away from Hollywood. He commented once that he thinks actors are worse than actresses – they’re just more underhanded about it.
also:
How many Tom Hiddlestons do you need to change a light bulb? None, “just let me sit here, all alone in the dark…”
LMAO
NAILED IT
(double entendre not redacted)
I love it!😂
The sad thing isn’t the way he spent his birthday, its that tweet! From the first word to the last…
I cannot believe there isn’t anyone in his entourage to say : “Ok Tom, now, just shut up for a while.”
It’s pretty pathetic. But then, I’ve got huge second-hand embarrassment for adults advertising their birthdays in the age of social media. If mine could somehow be forgotten I’d be thrilled. I hope his friends take him to task for the tweet with a big ‘ughhh’.
This! 😀
He receives a boatload of birthday wishes from his fans. Maybe he just thought it would be nice to acknowledge that. He very rarely posts anything remotely personal anymore. Hasn’t for a few years. From twitter sightings it looks as though he might have been visiting his father on his birthday and possibly his mother the weekend before. So not alone probably.
Unfortunately for him, the timing then just sucks due to all his try-hard ways.
Gossip sites always create drama around him, so the timing is never right.
I don’t get what could possibly be wrong with that tweet. Or even why this should be some sort of cry for attention or sympathy. Then again, I haven’t celebrated any birthdays since my early teens, so, don’t get what the big deal is either way.
(the funnier thing about insulting Tom over tweeting on his birthday is that, before he tweeted this, there were people in his tweeter feed chastising him for not thanking his fans for happy birthday wishes or whatever. Classical case of damned if you do…)
Generally speaking, I don’t think that the interview was badly received.
I was about to say – I don’t think it was badly received at all. Taffy’s twitter feed and remarks I saw on twitter were pretty positive. As to the tweet, it was what he did after all. I didn’t see it as sad at all. He likes to run and he likes cake and he wanted to acknowledge all the good wished he got from his fans. As for the rain – it’s England in the winter, rain is expected.
Me neither Ninette, his fans would have loved his interview, the people who dislike him would have hated it, and everyone else would have just taken it at face value, instead of over analysing it endlessly. IMO.
Ditto his Birthday tweet.
Wait, am I the only one who thought the tweet was supposed to be dryly humorous? (Pun not intended) The last line just sounds kind of sarcastic.
Think you might be right . On the principle that he is just acknowledging good wishes and being tongue in cheek boring after being slagged off every time he speaks lately.
And several years ago, people were on here whining that he didn’t acknowledge his birthday on Twitter.
I think wryly humorous in that his “In other news” plainly alluded to his recent media ‘mis-steps’.
On the whole though, it was a nice tweet and a good use of the 140 char allowance in that he got to be wry, grateful, informative and optimistic.
I think “in other news,” alluded to the Kong posters and clips he posted recently, right before the birthday tweet. He just changed his Twitter page backdrop to Kong too. His Twitter is usually work related.
Oh ok, Lightpurple. Although I prefer my interpretation because it makes him look more aware of his ‘mis-steps’. 😉
Anyway, and either way, it’s all good as far as that tweet is concerned.
Agree, Guesto. He’s in there.
At some point doesn’t one stop celebrating their birthday? I have one friend who is always throwing a party (it’s going out to dinner with her husband and a bunch of friends). And every year, I’m thinking (like the a-hole that I am) “aren’t we a little too old to keep doing this?” I might want to plan something else on that day. We are in our mid-thirty’s. In your twenties I can see it but after the age of 30, doesn’t one just want to have a piece of cake and call it day? Again, the older I get, the more of an a-hole I become.
Those of us in our ?0s tend not to think of them if possible. Unless it is the one where we get to retire!😀
I haven’t heard of this. In my family/social circle birthdays are something you celebrate to the grave. Maybe not as big as when you’re a kid, due to practicalities.
I laugh every time someone on CB talks about how old 30 is. My next birthday will be my 65th and everybody better remember it. I’m with spidey on this. I don’t think it’s possible to read too much into it, but as I said [was it just yesterday?] the young man has become clickbait.
On a personal note, it would be hard to have a worse birthday than my beloved husband of 35 years. He spent Sunday in the hospital with pneumonia. He’s out now and doing fine. How I wish I had the 36 year old version of him back. Gorgeous dark hair and a tennis player body!
Sorry. I do think it is possible to read way too much into the tweet.
At thirdginger, I agree way too much is being read into the tweet.
@ third ginger – I can beat that, mine – next week will be my 69th. (But not in my head where I am still about 24)
Sorry to hear about your husband, I hope he is soon fully recovered. I celebrated my 21st (as we did back in the day) by getting flu!
I’m going to be 29 for the 10th time in May. I don’t really celebrate my birthday anymore
When exactly does that “not celebrating” thing happen? My parents still call me at 8:o0 a.m. , my birth time, on my birthday every year. And I’m going to be 28 this year.
I was wandering too. I’m over 30 and I celebrate every year, even last year when I had a 4 months old at home, I made a simple cake and invited a few people over for a couple of hours.
I celebrate my birthday for an entire month. I don’t throw a party; I just do a whole series of birthday events with different people. Spreads the joy, creates lots more memories. You don’t have to count birthdays but you should celebrate another year of life.
I’ve been celebrating birthdays for decades and my last one was three days full of free meals and treats. Any year that I’m still above ground and surrounded by people I love is a good one.
I think TommyAnnE was looking for a little post-TIDDLES sympathy with that tweet.
@Bonzo, only 3 days? Oh, honey, you can stretch it out more. You deserve at least a fortnight! Here, have some of Tom’s cake.
Hahah I like you M.A.F. and I concur
I don’t know what constitutes celebrating. I use my birthday as an excuse to see friends and family and try out new and/or favorite restaurants.
That’s what I do too. My birthday isn’t until the end of May and my BF asked me Saturday if I had begun compiling the annual list of eateries for the celebrations.
I like the way you think, M.A.F. 🙂
When I saw the title of this bit, what popped into my head was that song, MacArthur Park.
Yes I am that old.
Apparently Richard Ayoade thought the same thing.
I like running in the rain… after a particularly tough break up, I used to go run in the rain and I felt re-energized afterwards for some reason…. And i get that sometimes you don’t feel like making something big on your birthday, especially if you are going through something difficult, which seems to be the case
But why it has to be so public? He’s like “hey, look at me I’m still mourning the end of my 3 month relationship, look how sensitive I am!” This reminds me of Taylor and those pics of her in a park looking sadly at the swans after a breakup ( I swear this two are meant to be together)
I feel like this guy is a 12 year old drama queen trapped in a grown man body
I like running in the rain also.
But I don’t even think the tweet was poor me.
Do you think he was hinting at the breakup? If he was hinting at anything at all, I would have thought he’s hinting at the fuss the gossip media makes about everything he does nowadays. It’s his way of saying “nothing to see here, move along”.
I think he was hinting that he likes cake. He has made cake references before. And they had three birthday cakes for him at Donmar during Coriolanus
Looking at some of the reactions here, I must say… no wonder Tom mostly only tweets about work, these days. jeez…
@theHord, I think you may be in need of some cake too. We have chocolate, carrot cake, and lemon drizzle.
Just because he didn’t do a lot on his birthday (a Thursday when people work) doesn’t mean he didn’t celebrate at the weekend.
As I said above, he was sighted on Twitter last weekend in the area around his mother’s house – and on his birthday near where his father lives. So maybe some family time? And some running – the guy loves running. None of this strikes me as drama queening.
The tweet also doesn’t mean he didn’t do a lot on his birthday. Those are just the things he decided to share. I doubt he went to the local supermarket and bought himself cake to eat all alone at home. And I don’t think he bakes. Cooking and baking are different things
So if he didn’t buy the cake and he didn’t bake it…where did he get the cake from!?!…(or am i being slow?)
Taylor baked it for him. She (and her herd of bodyguards) have been hiding out at his house in London since he returned from Australia. They did a fake break-up because the media scrutiny was just too much, and they are waiting to go public until they are sure about marriage, or Tom has no projects to promote…whichever comes first.
The GQ article, and all the times he was spotted wandering alone in his neighborhood are just an elaborate smokescreen to protect their pure and delicate love from being poisoned by those horrible paparazzi photographers and his crazy-jealous stans that won’t let him be with any woman, especially one as awesome and perfect as Tay-Tay…at least that’s what I understand from a few of her more fanciful (delusional?) supporters on Tumblr.
@jetlagged — yes!! the super secret love affair that they are hiding from everyone! Her planes have not gone near London except for the one time when she went to film her music video (and that was when he left for the Golden Globes) but it makes no difference! Because she leaves her two jets at home and charters jets to keep the super secret going. And all the Gossip Cop denials that they are together, getting together or even WANT to think about getting back together are all a smokescreen for the truth which will come out (and then won’t all the meanies feel small!) LOL.
What they will do when she writes her sad ballad of how a guy with a Double First in Classics broke her innocent heart with his famewh*re ways remains to be seen. Jump the Hiddleswift ship I guess.
Well the only things I’ve ever heard of him cooking is spag bol (twice) so perhaps it is no wonder he eats out a lot.
Usually people give you a cake. Or if you do buy one, you have people over to share
Tom hs always posted about his runs. I read that as business as usual but also thanks for the wishes.
Geez. Cut him some slack. He could have tweeted that he had the best birthday ever with family and friends having a good time and people would have found a way to rip him apart anyway. Poor guy.
This + 100 Is that what they say? I am only now learning to speak internet.
This + 10,000. Me too third ginger.
Yep – I’m with @Dani, @third ginger and @spidey – the guy responds to all his fans with a nice non- bragging tweet and gets ripped for it. +100,000
Keep going, we might hit the +1m 😆
He seems to be a sweet guy. Such a cutie. Great to see a nice actor . Definitely shouldn’t be ripped apart
Of course they would. It doesn’t matter what he says or does, they are just picking on him now, for I don’t really understand what reason. It’s kind of becoming annoying, that a man can’t write a simple tweet without people analyzing it to death and complaining about something in it.
+1,000,000. I so appreciate the nice responses though. Otherwise I might think I’m the odd one for not harshly picking apart every word. So many awful people in this world that I wish others could appreciate, or at the very least ignore, the nice ones.
Responses to the tweet are a fascinating example of how not only beauty but everything else is “in the eye of the beholder.”
It’s really curious how he attracts so much hate from certain people and is used as a talking point for what NOT to do. I’ve posted about him in the earlier thread about his career going down (or not) due to self-sabotage but I honestly don’t feel strongly about disliking him; just that he is very interesting as a pr case study.
Cake for everyone!
OK, let the record show that this exact moment is when I checked out on Real Life Tom Hiddleston, because he is an Aquarius and this tweet was soooo Aquarian: Look at me, give me pity, and tell me how you would be so happy to participate in my life revolving around me like a cheery little satellite.
Aquarians in my life are 50% awesome, empathic, driven people and 50% horrifying narcissists who only know how to exist when they are the center of someone else’s world. I see both in Tom. All Aquarians I know have no chill and in a romantic relationship, that would be exhausting. I see that in Tom, too.
I welcome your responses to my Tom Hiddleston hypothesis of “it’s because he’s an Aquarius.” Tell me I’m so wrong or so right or that Astrology is BS (that’ll be the Aries people for sure).
Hmmm…Never gave much credit to horoscopes.
My husband and sister are both Aquarius. The only characteristic you mention that fits them is empathetic. My husband has so much “chill” that he would not let you know if he was on fire. He is wonderful but may be the least effusive, least “extra” person I have ever known. Your comment is funny, though.
By the way, I’m a Scorpio.
You have the magical unicorns of Aquarians in your life, I think! I lol’d at your stoic, self-contained husband not letting you know if he was on fire.
My experience with Scorpios has been that they are INTENSE and very emotionally passionate (whether it’s low-key or out there). This is both great and difficult to live with depending on your relationship to the Scorpio – they are not ever boring or blase as far as I’ve seen.
I am a Pisces and this is basically like being a real-life Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter universe. Head in the clouds, sincere to a fault, sensitive, silly, driven by the need to be authentic, sometimes flaky but striving not to be.
Senna, my daughter and I fit the Scorpio descriptions in many ways. Our highest value: intense loyalty.
Ugh, every Pisces I know so well that I can talk about their character is selfish and insincere. I’d say horoscopes are not a good way to make judgement about people.
Thanks fruitloops for that insult, as I am a Pisces.
Good job I don’t believe in any of it, isn’t it? :lol)
@spidey, I wasn’t trying to insult Pisces, but just saying that it is not possible to judge people based on 12 signs of horoscope. Pisces I know well enough to say something about them (not acquaintances) are shitty people, but not because they are Pisces, it’s just the way they are, they’d be shitty people if they were Cancer, Aries, whatever.
@ fruit loops don’t worry I tried to put a 😆 and got it wrong.
@fruitloops: Ha, I was really baiting for something like this, right? Your second sentence seems to just slightly contradict the first, as well… I guess what fascinates me is how rejecting/accepting the archetypal horoscope characteristics defines us, or doesn’t. I’d say if you’re using astrology to rule out being friends with someone or put someone in a box of assigned characteristics, you’re not using it in good faith. I myself am not a hardcore astrology believer, but view it in the light of a fun game with the potential for insight when it hits on some aspect of truth.
I think it is a fun game,too. I have always been interested in the occult. I have the pleasure of teaching a seminar in ghost stories.
@third ginger: Ooooh, I just imagined myself participating in this seminar, and then probably NEVER SLEEPING AGAIN. It sounds fascinating if you’re less wimpy than I am!
@senna, I understand a little something about astrology and I know that people who are into it are not just putting people in 12 groups of personalities, so I see your point. I personally don’t believe in astrology, although I don’t mind people who do, I don’t think they are weirdos or something. It’s just when I see someone saying Virgos are this and Geminis are that I find it silly. Not all Virgos are pedantic and not all Cancers are sensitive (or sensible? English is not my first language)…
You sound like my godmother and her 60 year old friends 😀
I am truly geriatric in spirit. Does your godmother want more friends :)? We do have 60-somethings on this site, believe it or not, though I’m about half that age!
I’m 64. I will ask spidey and maybe we can all be friends.
@third ginger I’m so game!
Yes, I’m game too – lets form on Old Girls Club.👵
Given that #HappyBirthdayTomHiddleston trended on Twitter multiple times over his birthday and that most of the 600 or so fans who raised nearly 15,000 £ for Unicef UK in honor of his birthday left some sort of message–I’ll go with he was just tipping his hat to all the birthday goodwill.
Not to mention, there’s no implication he was eating that cake alone. Or in the dark. Heh.
+10000000 this
And the cake was delicious! I enjoyed every morsel of it!
lol
Glad Tom enjoyed a day off from work to do something he enjoys and some delicious sweets. Sounds like my kind of day.
Shoulda spent his birthday in Houston with Evans. THAT was the place to be.
But somebody would still find fault browniecakes.
@browniecakes – a backwards-hat-wearing, hard-raging, couch-jumping, no-fucks-to-give Tom is my secret wish for him in 2017.
It could be the making of him. 😀
You know they partied together while filming Avengers. Forget the Houston party from last weekend – those are the stories I want.
If they are together for Infinity War, it could happen.
And if he had hurt himself, he could throw on a I HEART CE shirt.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!!
Hahahahahahahahahahah!!
Oh come on it IS funny!!
Woe is me, a multimillionaire and celebrity is eating cake and running in the rain (lol? dramatic much? channeling Hugh Grant movies there maybe?), in other NON NEWS Tom, we don’t care and I certainly do not feel sorry for you.
P.S. His tweet reads like the diary of a 16 year old girl….
He tweeted four sentences. 4 sentences. I’m going to laugh when it turns out he had a simple birthday dinner with his family.
Some of you guys must have been in the AV club in high school. Because you are fantastic at projecting.
As I’m down with a stomach bug today and have no motivation to do anything but read celebrity gossip, I really wish Tom had instead tweeted the following:
“In other news, today is Valentine’s Day. I went for a run in the rain and had a piece of chocolate. On we go.”
That would be such fantastic Gothic-hero trolling.
Whatever he does or says at this point he’s made himself a target for criticism and mickey taking.
The tweet sounded a little downbeat and dismissive by Hiddleston’s overly cheery and enthusiastic standards, but there it is. I suppose if he’d have said something gushingly OTT he would have been accused of being smug and self-satisfied. Yikes.
Still shouldn’t have done all that publicity-seeking BS last year though.
Reactions to this remind me a lot of the “bitch eating crackers” meme.
Not sure how people (not just here, but in other gossip sites) managed to read so much about a tweet that essentially says “thanks for the birthday wishes, I spent it doing activities that I enjoy,” but here we are.
People have so much free time on their hands to overanalyse everything this guy does.
+1
Agree
Saw several people talking about his GQ interview and it seemed they liked it. WTF!
I liked it.:-)
