I never believed that Tom Hiddleston was a serious contender for the role of James Bond. I think he probably took a few meetings, possibly with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, but I just never bought that Hiddles would be a real candidate to replace Daniel Craig. Those rumors sprang up last year, and many believed that Tom’s relationship with Taylor Swift was his way of getting his name out there and “campaigning” for the role. I never really believed that either – I think The Glorious Tiddlebanging was designed to increase his visibility, for sure, but it was not specifically about Bond. In any case, The Glorious Tiddlebanging blew up in Tom’s face, big time. Reportedly, Barbara Broccoli dismissed him as “too smug” and “not tough,” and that “I heart T.S.” shirt probably didn’t help. But does Tom “blame” Taylor for ruining his James Bond chances?
Tom Hiddleton blames Taylor Swift for losing the chance to play James Bond, according to a new tabloid report. In the new issue of Star, the headline is, “Tom Blames Taylor For Bond Bust!” The gossip magazine claims Hiddleston is “convinced” Swift is the reason why he won’t be taking over for Daniel Craig in the film franchise. The actor was “in talks to replace” Craig, maintains the outlet, but “it was his high-profile romance with the pop star that cost him the role.”
The tabloid alleges Hiddleston’s negotiations recently ended, and references an unverified report that claimed producer Barbra Broccoli found him “too smug and not tough enough” to take on the iconic Bond character. But given that he and Swift broke up last September, it doesn’t make sense that their short-lived romance would affect the outcome of a potential movie project seven months later. A so-called “source” contends to the publication that Hiddleston “refuses to accept that maybe he’s just not Bond material, and their publicity stunts backfired.”
“He wants to blame her for everything,” the magazine’s supposed snitch continues. This alleged tipster even asserts Hiddleston “hates being associated” with the superstar.
Gossip Cop goes on to to say – without citing any specific denial – that Tom is not really holding Taylor responsible for losing the James Bond role, nor does he want to get back with her. I don’t think he blames Taylor for anything specific as losing a role, but I do wonder if he has some general feelings of “Taylor manipulated that situation” and he felt a mixture of regret, shame and blame. It wouldn’t be a breakup if people didn’t lash out and blame their exes for dumb sh-t. In the case of the Glorious Tiddlebanging, I’d say that both parties acted like dumbasses.

Sorry but that’s all on him. He’s a grown man. No one forced him to do any of the embarrassing stuff that he did. Taylor Swift aside I’m tired of folks doing dumb crap in relationships and then blaming their ex for it. Just stop it and own up to your embarrassing ways. As for the Bond role…let’s be real…he was never a serious contender for it anyways.
You actually believe THE STAR?
The article in Gossip Cop is debunking the Star piece, which is obvs a pile of crap.
And yet GC ranked the story as a “1” on their truth meter, when they usually give trash stories like this a big fat zero. Does that mean something about the Star story might actually be true?
I don’t understand all the swooning over this guy. IMHO, he’s quite unremarkable.
Everyone has different tastes. “Tastes differ said the old maid as she kissed the cow”. (That is an old saying, but very true). Some of the actors others are crazy about don’t interest me in the slightest. But I wouldn’t bother to go on threads about them and say so to their fans.
As for Swift and Tom, they were together about 3 months, only 2 months of which were they even on the same continent. He may have regrets about the relationship, but he’ll never say anything about it. As for Bond, he publicly said that Craig was Bond and he didn’t think it would even be offered to him — and that was before the Rhode Island rocks pictures. I think he currently is intermittently filming Avengers 3 and 4 right now – and it is a Marvel secret.
Everyone definitely have different tastes. So many think Lisa Bonets husband, the guy from GOT is so hot and sexy, but I don’t agree at all. I have a picture of LB ex-husband Lenny Kravitz(beautiful sexy) and one of Tom Hiddleston(adorable sexy) on my bedroom door. 2 of the sexiest guys in the world in my opinion. Not everyone would agree.
@Justme- this is not a fanboard and people are allowed to say they don’t find him attractive without his fans getting all butthurt. I don’t get his appeal either.
@NYCgal – I’m not butthurt. I just wondered why folks bother. But they are certainly free to. I don’t find Tom Hardy particularly attractive, although he is a very good actor. I wouldn’t bother telling everyone on a Tom Hardy thread that I didn’t find him attractive – that’s all. But it is immaterial. You are free to dislike any Tom you want. (Or even Dick or Harry! 🙂 We all have different tastes.
Nope. Why does Tom keep trying to save face about James Bond? It was never going to happen. EVeryone forgot that Daniel Craig still had another movie on his contract.
Which is what Tom himself said over a year ago. Repeatedly.
Not sure why it was never going to happen for Tom. Daniel’s pre-Bond career was nothing spectacular and his acting can be very forced and clunky in my opinion.
But nah, aim to be a Bond villain instead, Tom. As you know, it is much more fun to be the bad guy!
For one thing, it’ll still be years until they replace Craig. They’re only just now rolling into production on the last Craig movie.
Nice to see you, SS, Haven’t seen you lately, have you been away? The Bond nonsense usually only benefits the Broccoli clan, and is a tried and true way to drum up interest in the next movie, which Daniel Craig is already contracted to play. I am sure Hiddles is more than aware he has no chance, but it’s publicity for him too. Wins all round!
Hi antipodean. Lovely to see you too!
The time difference is why you don’t see me much these days. It is nearly midnight for me before things get up and running on these threads.
He’s been saying for forever that he was never considered for the role, no?
Though I don’t doubt he regrets associating with Swift (though IMO it wouldn’t have been so embarrassing had it been rolled out like most celebrities instead of like some teenage 1950s-style dating fantasy).
Really? We are STILL talking about this? *tearing my hair out in bored-to-death corner*
Whatever happened between these two did not cost him the Bond job. He was never Bond material.
Agree. Wasn’t going to happen.
THIS IS SO BORING! Hasn’t this nonsense been done to death? Why is Star dredging it up again now? Can’t we be done with it? He himself said over a year ago, before even meeting that woman, that he was NOT up for Bond. He’s off working on something, as he said he was going to be at the end of the Kong PR tour, and seems to pop up only on weekends during his morning run and coffee excursions. God only knows if he has even thought of that woman in months unless someone throwS her in his face. THIS IS SO BORING!
I need Shakespeare recitations to ducks. I need snake hip dancing. I need something silly and fun. Just not another mention of Bond or that woman again. SO BORING!
I congratulate you on the CAPITAL CASE!
I need more paper knickers.
Absolutely yes! Young Mr. H does any number of silly things. No Bond idiocy needed.
Yes. More paper knickers. Or no knickers but clever object placement, like from Austin Powers.
SDCC can’t get here fast enough. I need a comic con panel with Eddy Redmayne and Maisie Williams and another with Tessa Thompson and Cate Blanchette with zany interviews and such.
And I need to know what he is working on because he is clearly working on something.
And fudge. I need fudge.
I’m a bit annoyed and frazzled today. But I’m sure I’m hiding it well, right?
I am starting to think this is 007’s production PR team that leaks silly things to keep the franchise in the news.
After Craig they should bury it…..
I am no Hiddleston fan in the least but this would be beyond cretinous to leak from his team; Star is crap anyway….
I am also fudgeless and in need!
I mean, Star is still doing Aniston-Pitt reunion stories… 12 years after their divorce. Anyway, we should all prepare ourselves for another bash of those ridiculous nonsense after Miss Forever 13 released her new blind item collection, sorry album.
Wonder if the new album will be released in November, right when Thor Ragnarok is due to hit the cinemas…
You mean Brad and Jennifer AREN’T reuniting?..😆😆😆
Call me crazy Lightpurple my dear, but I sense you might be bored of this?!!
Ah, Secret Squirrel, I think I might be just a tad bored of this. I need spring. And fun. And silliness. And something blue or pink and fizzy to drink.
Whatever gave you that idea?
Fractious. That’s the word. That’s how I feel. All this old boring Bond and that woman rehash is making me fractious.
Definitely getting boring when the person he wasn’t with very long and split with long ago keeps being talked about in every Tom article. I also remember him saying he wasn’t going to be in James Bond. Time to stop and move on
Sixer, I wonder what kind of great autocorrects we could get for “fudgeless”
Maybe if you guys would stop posting on them, they’d stop? If a story gets a ton of clicks and responses it’ll be repeated. As for who did the leaking, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if it were his team. I mean, it IS what he’s most famous for.
I love that most of her exes kind of hate being associated with her. They all shy away from speaking about their time with her, it just makes me so curious how she is in these “relationships”. That said, as much as I dislike Taylor, these men KNEW what they were getting into, so they get no sympathy from me.
Then why do they say such nice things about her?
Why would they say bad things about her publicly? So they could be public enemy number one? Also, they don’t really talk about her, just uncomfortably move on to the next question after a few mumbles.
why? three words: non disclosure agreement
Not many celebrities are excited to talk about past relationships with much detail, I mean why would they want to share such a private thing. But Tom gushed niceties about Taylor. He is a really nice guy, so maybe that’s why, or maybe he really thinks she’s that great.
Since he was clear about not being in the run for James Bond even before he dated Swift, this is highly unlikely.
If I were him, I’d be embarrassed, too. But not because of what Taylor did, but because he 100% participated in their mutual famewhoring. I mean, maybe she manipulated the situation – wouldn’t put it past her, given her history – but hes a grown man who played along….so own your shenanigans!
He has always struck me as someone ‘knowing’. Someone who knows how the game is played and doesn’t mind playing it. I think he went into this fakenship with his eyes wide open. What neither of them anticipated was the number of people who just didn’t buy their ‘true love’ story. I loved it but never bought them as a couple. I couldn’t get enough of them, but not for one second did I believe it was real. I even wish they were still going strong because it was hilarious to watch. Like a trainwreck, but without the carnage and any lasting effect on either career.
Sorry to pull the old lady card, but here goes. Way back in the silent movie era there was a popular, handsome actor named John Gilbert. Among other things, he had a long affair with Greta Garbo. When talking pictures came in, Gilbert’s career faded. Rumors arose everywhere that it was because Gilbert had a terrible voice. It was not true. Nevertheless, it became a part of Hollywood lore, so much so that the legend was part of SINGING IN THE RAIN, only with a female star. The Bond nonsense with Hiddleston is much the same. There is no credible evidence that Hiddleston was ever considered for Bond, only rumors, which for some reason people continue to believe.
Interesting analogy. I believe John Gilbert did indeed have a perfectly acceptable voice. Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont in SITR is a performance for the ages though. ” I CAN’T STAND IT!”.
I looked this up years ago everywhere I could find. It turns out Gilbert’s problems were with directors and studios, not his voice. Like the Hiddleston-Bond nonsense, it made a juicy story. Look at how many people commenting here believe it. They heard it, read it, and they believe it. I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but I’m a stickler for logic.
I remember a podcast about John Gilbert from a couple of years ago – the whole idea he had a bad voice wasn’t true. There were issues with the studio however, and he had a potential directing career (he was able to coach performances from other actors, but was uncredited).
When his career halted he was able to retire to the Hollywood Hills, and he died of an alcohol-related illness at 36.
I think some people just don’t like TH and keep repeating the same old nonsense so that they can have a go at him.
He seems fairly harmless to me so I don’t really understand it, unless they hate him because they are rabid Taylor Swift fans and have something against him.
The p*ss taking was fun at the time, but its all gone a bit stale now.
I wonder if the gossip mags will have a special first anniversary, 4th of July t-shirt edition, so they can continue to flog this dead horse.
Quite right, shelly*. Also, THE STAR?!? I’m astonished that posters here actually believe this nonsense. Celebrities do and say enough silly things to gossip about. It does not seem reasonable to respond to fiction. For example, this week we had ridiculous quotes from Chris Pratt and Damien Lewis. Those happened. This Bond garbage did not.
I think he owes us some brand new piss taking. It’s the least he could do.
The Met Gala is fast approaching. Instead of anniversary reminders, let’s hope it gives the tabloids something else to focus on.
It won’t, there will be click-bait stories for days about “10 moments from past Met Galas you can’t miss” and the awkward dancing will be prominently featured, just you wait. And God help us all if either of them actually attends.
@jetlagged @Lightpurple
On cue – Just Jared has a “Met Gala Flashback”.
Sh*t, I told you that would happen. I should go into self-imposed gossip exile for the next few days/weeks, I still have PTSD a year later and don’t need the reminders. It’s bad enough the shippers on Tumblr are fixin’ to trot out their photo montages of the Summer of Love to celebrate the happy couple’s 1-year anniversary, I don’t need to see it on my go-to gossip sites too.
Gilbert had some problems with Louis B. Mayer (a true douche for the ages) and Mayer had Gilbert’s voice modified which killed his career. It was a personal vendetta.
Jetlagged: If you continue to follow the shippers on Tumblr then you definitely need to take a break from Tumblr, or unfollow those crowds . That’s one thing I love about Tumblr. It’s obvious which lane particular blogs are in.
What was that role he lost where he had to wear all the make up and there were photos and everything? That was genuinely a tad embarrassing cos nobody wants actual evidence out there that they really, really tried and were slapped down.
Even I feel a bit sorry for LEGS over this Bond thing now. I do think there was a time when he thought he was in with a shot and he spent a lot of PR pounds trying to present the right image for it. But that was long gone before la Swift. la Swift was never a Bond pitch. God alone knows what he was thinking with the Tiddlesbanging but it wasn’t 007. And I can’t see him outright moaning to friends that she cost him Bond. Being a bitch about your exes isn’t a good look and not at all what his public image – or self image for that matter – is about.
Don’t forget Sixer that some conspiracists were even saying Taylor was using Tom to try and land a role and title song in a Bond film for herself!
The remake of The Crow, which ended up having numerous people attached with Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, Luke Evans, Nicholas Hoult, Jack Huston and now Jason Momoa supposedly in the same role and the project has gone nowhere for years.
And I can’t see him outright moaning either. At least not to anyone who would go to tabloids with the information. He’s always been rather discreet in that regard and I don’t see that changing.
The Crow! That’s the one.
I think they both thought everyone would think Tiddlesbanging was adorable and cute and there would be thousands of hearts and flowers tumblrs dedicated to it. But they overegged the pudding and everyone laughed instead. So they stopped Tiddlesbanging. Simple as that. I very much doubt anyone’s heart got bruised, let alone broken.
And I might rag on LEGS but even I can’t see him being less than gracious – or fake gracious, at least – about an ex, even in private.
I have always hated her lame, preppy outfit from the time they flew to Australia. She looks like a high school student. Granted, I’m always in coach looking like a mess, but if I was super rich, I’d be wearing the cutest lounge gear when I flew.
Ummm excuse me? He’s a grown ass man who made those decisions on his own. It’s not her fault in any way whatsoever. I don’t think he’s Daniel Craig material either, he has a sexy air, but not as suave like Craig should be.
I came here to say the same thing. Not a fan of Swifty and her high school antics but please. He is a grown man. I don’t remember Taylor holding a gun to his head in any of those shots by the ocean. He needs to shut it down because from the quotes it looks more like he feels all left out and forgotten by the public and is milking Taylor for another 5 minutes. He can only hope she writes a couple of new songs about him so he can feel relevant. Ugh. I actively dislike him
ITAWY. Complicit, complicit, complicit.
The inception to reception of that relationship was constant – IMMEDIATE, OBVIOUS, AND OBNOXIOUS. So to try to paint the almost 40 years old actor man as a “unknowing & unwilling victim” of an (equally) “thirsty” singer girl for months is a stretch.
I don’t think he “blames” her for not getting something even he said he was never going to have, though.
Poor these innocent grown up men that fall into the clutches of manipulative and mean Taylor Swift
I don’t see Hiddleston as Bond, even without the Taylor Swift Incident. He did OK with the sexy, ripped man of action thing in The Night Manager, but I just think that too much of the eager theater freak would poke through if he did Bond.
If Idris Elba continues to be a no-go, I’d like to see Luke Evans as James Bond. He’s crazy good-looking, he can seriously act, and he’d bring a bit of gravitas to the role. I should think that the female audience for James Bond is mature enough to suspend disbelief that James Bond/real life actor wants to sleep with them.
I love Luke Evans and Idris, but there really is not going to be a new James Bond.
For god’s sake, please, I beg CB to stop posting pictures of them together. Just got over it but whenever I see those pictures I ask myself what the eff he was thinking….
I refuse to believe he’s a day younger than 45.
@barnes and I refuse to believe he is a day older than 21.
see two can play this game too. -_-
PLEASE. CAN. WE. GIVE. BOND/SWIF. A REST? Preferably an eternal one!
I cannot believe that he would come out and say this stuff even if he did think it. But if my memory serves me right, didn’t he say he wasn’t going to be Bond before this.
Don’t you know that logic never beats nonsense? Also, did you know that 36 is really old?
Haha, hello my dear fellow wrinkly! I hope you are well.
But I do like the occasional bit of logic as you may have noticed. 🙂
No! 36 isn’t old! I just turned 39. Going out with friends tonight. One turned 69 yesterday. She’s still a youngster too
Beth, you know I am 64 and spidey is 69. We have been laughing for months about how some posters think Tom H. is old.
@ Beth – I think TG and I could get to like you. 🙂
Hope you have a lovely time tonight and say hello to your young friend from us!
Once he wore that stupid tee shirt it forever became impossible to take him seriously in any role. He should have known better than to have anything to do with the lying tramp.
If that is the worst thing he ever does………………..
Don’t you know he is such a failure that his career is over. Next week THE STAR reports he has taken up taxidermy!
😆
Oh my, if I disliked everyone who partnered up with someone I didn’t particularly like, or even worse, acted silly and “embarrassed” themselves, I might be left with….no friends! But I get it, some people have very high standards. It’s just that those with high standards should remember that they too are being judged.
I feel like most people (who don’t read gossip blogs) have no idea who this guy is.
@grant people who doesn’t read gossip tabs don’t know most of the actors cause they don’t care. they might know the character but not the actor. I didn’t know who ironman was if it wasn’t for tom. I must say he is the 1st ever actor of hw that had made me to read those site cause I was curious who the hack is Loki. :v
You are right, mimi. In America it takes a long time for an actor to have name recognition. Most people know Tom as Loki. In the UK they may also know him from THE NIGHT MANAGER.
@TG and I am not even from usa or uk 🙂 I discovered him in 2015 when the avengers was airing in local channel. and he captured me than and there. From Maldives. :*
anyone believe this star’s sh!t is the biggest idiot.
Amen.
He did it to himself, with a smug smile on his face.. and it was beautiful to see!
don’t care about bondy but yes love his smug smile, if that’s what we’re calling it now 😉
Barbara Broccoli loves his smug smile too….no wait…she doesn’t.
Messy punctuation, honey.
This Tom-as-Bond narrative is staler than the stalest milk after a month left out under the heat of a desert sun. As is his summer of Swift Tom foolery.
While still not much of a fan of Tom the actor or his pretentious tendencies, I’ve somehow grown to like and appreciate the basic decency of Tom the person, and this ongoing need to reduce him to Kardashian levels of petty, mindlessness is just lazy, uncreative tiresomeness.
Let him move on, for God’s sake, and stop throwing a cloak of news credibility over these ridiculously obvious, visible-from-the-moon, pulled-out-of-arse, tabloid garbage space-fillers.
I really like your post. It’s well-written and perceptive. Although I think Hiddleston is a fine actor, that’s entirely subjective. What you say about the tabloid culture is true. This kind of article is not the result of this actor doing something, it’s the result of his not doing anything recently. So the STAR has to make things up.
oh pfft…
dear green cauliflower nobody cares about bondy anymore. the sooner you bury it, the better.
I’m sure we’ll see more dumb articles like the Star one. He’s tabloid fodder now and they don’t care what Tom actually said or what actually happens with the Bond franchise. That’s what happens when you invite the media and tabloid into your private life. They don’t leave even when you’re done using them to get more recognition. Maybe Taylor should have taught Tom how to cut deals with the paps and tabloids to publish more glowing stuff than insulting ones. But since he’s absolute trash at these Hollywood games, he’d somehow bungle that up too.
That relationship absolutely helped cost him the role.
And since negotiations ended recently, I’m guessing the rest that lost it for him was that speech that so many were upset about because he came off as arrogant or something. (I didn’t see the clip.)
He did it to himself. It’s a shame because I think that he could’ve been a good Bond.
Tom wore a Tshirt kidding around? Oh no, how horrible, how embarrassing. I love hanging with people that can kid around and not take themselves too seriously. But some like super serious people. To each his own.
“As is often the case, the truth lies in the middle. Hiddleston is not clamoring to reunite with the singer, but he’s also not nonsensically holding her responsible for anything that does or doesn’t happen in his career.”
This doesn’t seems to be the usual GG language. Very precise wording. Maybe Hiddles drafted this himself?
Here’s my theory for why this boring story keeps popping up: there is gossip about it, but none of the outlets are hitting the actual story. My theory is that the producers wanted Craig back and used Hiddleston as an (unknowing) bargaining chip. Sort of the Hollywood equivalent of flirting with someone in hopes of making your significant other jealous.
Their end goal was getting Craig to resign but they needed an actor they could credibly float as a replacement, and The Night Manager gave them the perfect non-candidate in Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleston’s a professional and would never confirm or deny whether he was in talks. I do wonder if his escapade with Taylor temporarily hurt the game, as it made him appear so very un-Bond, but the producers got what they wanted: Craig is back.
The question is if Hiddleston knew he was a pawn.
This guy’s too small to even be a pawn. Before Taylor Hiddleston is no threat to Craig. Certs wasn’t one after Taylor.
Hi there falsey
Honey, you need to learn punctuation.
And I would never say “Certs.” What does that even mean?
Ah the age old burning question. . Again & again.
😉
Does he still have a career or has he gone into the fake gigolo game full time?
Oh look! My clone has returned!
Would think they would have something better to do.
Why don’t their posts get modded instead of mine?😩
Hooray, at the 92nd attempt my post stayed put!! 😃
When are tabloids going to stop getting away with posting blatant lies?
Celebs should be able to sue for defamation imho.
I’m a Bond fan going way back. I might have some insight, but it’s my opinion and observation only.
I find that when the Broccoli family are thinking of casting someone, historically, they float it for a while in the press, or allow bits and pieces to be leaked, in order to gauge public opinion and public interest. This is such a big decision. probably the biggest casting decision in modern times, because of how much rides on the success of the new actor in the role. It’s as close to a billion dollar decision as you can make.
Daniel Craig has exceeded any wish they could have had. People did complain about his casting, before he had the role, because he was blond or the wrong build or they thought he wasn’t funny enough, if it was people who liked the Roger Moore depiction. I think Barbara Broccoli was willing to take on those sorts of complaints because she knew what a good actor Craig is and that he could pull off the toughness and ruthlessness in the Sean Connery mold.
Last spring I believed Hiddleston was being seriously considered. They were in the dribs and drabs of stories about it mode, and he was being humble and surprised by the questions in interviews, as is the etiquette. When the Swift story broke, with the staged or might-as-well-have-been-staged photos that looked so obvious, I had a moment of shock, because I thought, “If he wants this role, this is enough to blow it for him.” When the 4th of July pictures came out it was the nail in the coffin. How good an actor he is or how he would handle the role became moot, because the story had become a bit of a joke. It took away the edge he had been cultivating with The Night Manager to sell his believability as Bond. The worst case scenario for the Bond team is that the actor would lose suspension of disbelief in the audience, or be ridiculed as not tough enough.
I agree the producers used the stories to tempt Craig and apply some pressure in negotiation, but Craig will do a limited number of films for them in any case. I think Craig always intended to do at least one more. They still need someone for after.
In short, I believe this article. Every bit of it.
There were no stories, only rumors. Hiddleston denied being considered for Bond last March.
zzzzzz…… anyone believing this fanfiction needs help
.
But look how many people do, despite there being no evidence for it.
The Met Gala nonsense flashback stories have already begun – everywhere! And bringing back the ridiculous “dance off” of TH and TS – they cannot escape it…neither one will go near the Gala this year especially since Katy Perry is the Host and she and the head on a stick (fake boobs now) hate each other….and TH is off in London/Scotland filming!? They would be nuts to even consider it…since the press will not let it die and continue to ridicule! It is sad that she seems to come out of it unscathed bur TH is still always ridiculed…not sure I believe his story that he was in it for real and was heartbroken when she called it off – what are your opinions?
As I mentioned before – Daniel Craig ALWAYS had a 5 picture deal, period!
Well Katie was there last year, & Taylor has attended lots of things with other attendees she doesn’t like. Taylor’s been off the grid for several months so doubtful she’ll show up for the first time there though. But Yes, they should both be slammed for their horrible behavior. Their behavior is nearly as bad as sleeping with the nanny, having mistresses, making drunk, racists comments, sexual harassment, sex tapes, physically abusing your partner, etc. Tom is said to be so nice & kind by anyone who works with him or meets him, but let’s believe he is secretly a big liar who faked this whole thing for publicity, even though this personality trait seems opposite of every thing you hear about him from people that actually know and aren’t just guessing based on gossip.
Katie is not just another attendee though, she’s honorary co-chair. I would bet actual money that Taylor would never attend an event where Katie is the star and Taylor is just a guest.
While like Harry said, it’s awkward but just get drunk lol
“I never believed that Tom Hiddleston was a serious contender for the role of James Bond.”
I am glad someone finally said it. I always laugh when big names are touted by the press for the next Bond. The Broccolis are never interested in anyone with box office clout. They always go for TV stars are semi-popular character actors.
Meanwhile, Skull Island has reached just short of $560m at the box office.
Very nice. Good for him.
If Thor3 lives up to expectations, Hiddles may just end up being in two of the highest grossing films of 2017.
Nope, Beauty and the Beast is well over $1 Billion dollar mark and Fast 8 made $535 in it’s opening WEEKEND! And well on it’s way to being a $billion dollar franchise….let’s not forget Star Wars…Kong is not “high grossing” compared to any of these films and it hasn’t made it’s money back yet for the producers to have made money..sadly none of TH films have “made money” maybe Thor will do well but it too is not considered the top franchise of the Marvel series….I hope it does well for his sake though.
Didn’t the first Avengers make money? And I thought that the amount Skull island has made is enough to make it to profit from what was quoted around the time of its release. I read somewhere that it needed to make $370m to break even. Perhaps someone else can say if that sounds right or not.
I thought Skull Island’s break even figure was $370m. And didn’t the first Avengers film make a huge profit?
@anonla, I will grant you that a high gross doesn’t necessarily equal high profit, but I stand by my statement that KSI may end up being one of the highest grossing of the year. I didn’t say THE highest grossing, and it probably won’t be in the top 5 or even top 10, but it’s got a shot at the top 20. It’s sitting at #6 domestically and #4 worldwide at the moment per Box Office Mojo. Find me a whopping 15 other films – that haven’t already been released – in 2017 that might knock it out of the top 20.
I can think of a few – Star Wars for sure, GotG 2, Spiderman, Thor3 (yay Loki), Justice League, Kingsman 2, maybe Transformers (yuck), and a few of the kid’s movies, but if even if just a handful of the anticipated blockbusters underperform the odds improve. By the way, it would be awesome if you would cite an actual source for your claim that KSI was a bust for the producers, because most of the industry articles say the studios were actually pretty pleased at how it performed.
@aninla do you have any prrof that KSI haven’t made any money back? cause as I have read from valid ie variety they called it hit.
who said KSI is the highest, it is one of the highest, and there is already sequal in work and they even asked john v if he was inerested to direct.
Now why would they make a sewual if it didn’t get its money back and asked the same director of this said “didn’t get back its money” to direct another.
