Here are some photos of your boyfriend Tom Hiddleston at last night’s Jameson Empire Film Awards in London. I only really know of this event because Michael Fassbender was there last year I think. I believe they invite one super-hot guy per year and thus they ensure that everyone will pay attention to their event. This year the “super-hot guy” was Hiddles. I’m not sure about that!
My Hiddles love goes back and forth. I love that he’s tall and he seems gingery (although some of you claim he’s a natural blonde, I think he’s more of a strawberry blonde). I don’t love how he seems to bring out the stalker fan-girls. If I’m going to get all slut-shanky about a dude, he better be packing a Fassdong, you know? And I’m not sure what Hiddles is packing. All I know is that he’s lanky and he has a great voice, which definitely helps. But he seems so cutesy!
Also: did you know that Tom has a part in the new Muppets movie? Apparently, he’s playing The Great Escapo. That makes me like him SO MUCH MORE. I hope he and Miss Piggy have a love scene. Here are some more photos of Tom – that is a fantastic collar pin!!
Here are some extra photos from the Jameson Empire Awards – Daniel Radcliffe (adorable), Helen Mirren (righteous), Robert Sheehan (meh, he reminds me of a young Robert Smith) and Martin Freeman (I LOVE his scarf).

Hiddles in a *two piece suit*?
No deal.
Where’s the waistcoat, Hiddleston?
Heh. It’s a nice suit, though. And it’s good to see him in something other than that navy three-piece.
I’m actually not feeling the suit. I’m with Amelia, my interest wanes very rapidly when he’s not in a 3 piece, well that and I’m madly in love with Robert Sheehan.
I’m wondering what that suit would look like on my bedroom floor.
I was glad to see a. We suit, and I am doubly glad to hear that he finally has a new project. I think he said that he was talking to Joss Whedon about Avengers 2 as well, though that surprises me. Loki again?
Saw some photos of him from the back at the Empire Awards though and thought nope, definitely would not hit it. I think his very, very short haircut makes him look a tad too ordinary now. It’s not flattering or sexy.
Once again forgive my weird typos. Someday I will master this phone.
Why would the muppets film disappear from his cv? Any other indications as to what this guy is doing now? I can’t believe he isn’t up to his ears in offers.
Is Tom wearing a tie pin?
*Le sigh* There’s a ‘no’ option? I’d climb him like a tree.
And a spot in the Muppets? My inner cavewoman and geek approve.
Here to mark my territory. I’ve missed a bunch of Hiddles posts, got busy with school, just dropping in to remind you bitches he belongs to me.
I don’t know. I’m not feeling the Hiddles love today, even though I’m hot for the suit. Martin Freeman’s scarf is king of the night. He (and Eddie Redmay’s girlfriend) need to start renting out their expertise.
Freeman rocked my socks! Loved the scarf, love him! But not as Bilbo– he’ll always be Watson to me.
Is it only me? But ever since there were rumors about him and jessica chastain i think they are perfect together!
Yes, but I read somewhere that Jessica is dating an Italian guy.
Hello, Fanty! Martin Freeman is a very snappy dresser.
Love the Hiddles. What’s the “needle” on his collar, though?
Today you guys can keep Hiddles and Martin I’m all about Robert Sheehan.
A-HEM!!!!!! (that’s all)
Robert Sheehan is the funniest guy ever, such a blast to party with (yep it happened 3 years ago)!
Once again I’m insanely jealous of you.
Ah no don’t be, he could be just my little brother. And the Irish accent is on point hehe!
The accent is divine *drool*
Actually Ms Kay, with your insider knowledge, do you have any idea why he left Misfits when he did?
Me too. Why did they cancel “Me and Mrs Jones” Robert was adorable (as well as Tom is. I can’t chose between them, sorry)
Ms Kay, can you tell us something more about Robert?
@ Miss Kiki
contrary to the popular belief that ego go in the way, he just got… tired of it. He wanted to leave during season 1 already… People were pissed but I was like “dude he is young and Irish aka an untamed animal :-D”
@ Lauly
The show was cancelled simply because of the audience ratings that dropped.. so BBC 1 didn’t renew the contract… shame because I quite liked it too.
As for the future, well let’s just wait this summer for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
Me and Mrs Jones? What’s that?
I love to hear about you glamorous life!
Ms Kay-Doo, look how cute your hubby Hiddles is in thse pics! He changed his clothes & looks adorable.
I’m not drooling over him—just appreciating him like I would the sculpture of “David.”
That might have been a bad example….
SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! YUMMY HIDDLES!!!!
Okay… now that is out of the way… I want Robert Sheehan’s eyelashes. Seriously. Has anyone here ever watched Misfits? He was great in it though I think he may have had a case of his ego getting the best of him because he quit right at the peak of the show’s popularity. Now his career is going nowhere.
I’vr always wondered about that. I totally think he got big for his boots and though he’d hit the big time straight away. The only thing I’ve seen him in recently is an awful Nicholas Cage film, Season of the Witch. I know he’s also due to be in the Mortal Instruments a film based on the YA books BUT whether it’ll o well is a different matter.
I didn’t know about the Mortal Instruments film. I’d assume it’ll put him in the public eye for a time, but whether it’ll have a big boost in his career or not remains to be seen.
He’s doing nothing for me these days.
@Kaiser, if you watch “Wallander” on netflix, you will see he is a blonde.
Hiddles was in Wallander? How did I not know this?! (Just to clarify you mean the English language version with Kenneth Brannagh, right?)
Yes!!!!
I think he was in the first 2 seasons. I forgot the name of his character. He was one of Wallander’s co-workers. It was a small role.
ps: update – he played “Magnus”
Yes. He’s actually kind of funny in it, because his role is just to be pissy and kind if inferior. I do wish he would do *actual* comedy.
He seemed a little brat too! hahaha
I was like: go away, Magnus! how dare you question Wallander? hahaha
I know! I love his brattiness in it. It just adds weight to poor Ken Branagh’s heavy sighs. It’s also nice that someone isn’t tiptoeing around Wallander. That’s the only part of the show that exasperates me. Wallander wears his guilt about EVERYTHING so heavily, that nobody calls him on it. I think that when he got his partner attacked and clubbed around the head, he got off (comparatively) scot-free.
I think Wallander was Hiddles at peak hotness. Looked a bit like a Christmas angel, but everything else was perfect.
I would love to see him in a real comedy.
It’s hard to find a good Wallander torrent! 🙁 The show is not so popular.
There’s going to be a series 4 though! Apparently scripts are currently being developed, but filming will depend on Branagh’s schedule.
Poor Wallander. Sometimes I just want to throw a blanket around him and give him a jumbo hot chocolate with lashings of cream and marshmallows.
I loved Wallander to the point I want to read the books! Yes, shame on me, I haven’t read them!
Well, at least we will have 3 episodes in the final (fourth) season.
@Amelia: Just posted after you! I am so glad they will have a 4th season, :). I absolutely love Wallander! I always feel bad for him.
Me too, but sometimes I also want to shake him a little.
A fourth season would be welcome, indeed.
No, I wouldn’t.. I’ll leave him to the other ladies.
He has great features, but he is one of those guys that looks a lot better when he’s shaggier. And his fangirls scare me to the point that it’s almost a joke. Does he feed them because he *is* just a sweet guy with overly-open boundaries, because he’s insecure, or a little bit of both?
Oh, and play nice, ladies. I don’t want to come back from my errand running to have to clean up a total bloodbath. *Sets down the banana muffins and mimosas for the ladies*
Should I comment on this? He hasn’t done anything for me for quite some time. But his fans, oh THEY ARE PRECIOUS!
I mean, look at these comments (they’re wondering is he has one-night stands *cough*):
“Hello, I’ve been browsing your blog for a week or so, it’s my ray of sunshine. I’m only at page 430, but I’ve seen many gifs in which Tom checks girls out, which is perfectly normal, but it made me wonder if, despite his overall cuteness, he’s the type to have one night stands with some of them? From what I heard he’s single and while he’s Tom the gentleman, he’s still a man so… [sorry if it’s a awkward one]”
The girl who runs the site’s answer:
“I dont know. Tom doesnt seem like the type to do that.”
Then she asked what everyone else thought. One answered that she thought he was “a way too much of a gentleman for one night stands”.
ARE THEY FUCKING SERIOUS???????? Do they actually believe he falls in love with every woman he sleeps with? Oh, who am I kidding? He doesn’t have sex with anyone. He is waiting for THEM to marry him and have his babies!!!
And to answer your question (TheyPromisedMeBeer): I think he eggs them on. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but he does play with their fantasies or, at least, lets them run wild.
P.S.: Only one fan had a realistic approach (albeit still a tad too romantic) about what his sex life could be.
“I’m only at page 430,”
HA HA HA!! How many pages are there of Hiddleston madness?
*gratefully snarfs down a muffin*
That’s awesome. My favorite was when they were all flipping out about the possible girlfriend and one poster said scornfully, “I’ll bet she’s a FEMINIST, too.” Bless their crazy little hearts.
@ Eve: Wow. That’s awkward. And now that I can’t look at him without some secondhand embarrassment … yeeeeaaaaah.
I’m going to hand it to your husband, Eve. At least he knows how to nip the Internet Fangirl Invasion League in the bud. Mostly.
@ GoodCapon:
As of now, that particular tumblr has 801 pages. The girl does post some really nice .gifs, I’ll give her that. But, and I mean this in all honesty, the fact she really thinks he is not the type to have one-night stands is so pathetically naïve it makes me feel bad for her. A MAN, in his early thirties, with hundreds of hot women hitting on him? Please.
@ T.Fanty:
This one was a short post — I guess she was talking to some of her followers. I know there are much worse forums out there.
@ TheyPromisedMeBeer:
My husband (thank you, dear…very nice of you to remember that — and wise, too, because one shouldn’t want to be shanked, right?) does have a healthier relationship with his fans, in my opinion. And I said that even before he became my CB husband.
Eve, could you post a link to that blog?
@Eve – this is why I avoid Tumblr at all costs. I once looked at a Hiddles Tumblr. It was awful. I can’t really talk about it to this day.
On another note, Hiddles? Yeah, I’d hit it until I spoke with a lovely British accent.
My annoyance is mostly for the grovelling Twitter hordes who fawn on him daily and retweet everything he posts no matter how trivial, including a really crazy lady who made a HUGE Wendy Project book filled with pictures of worshipful fans in fake mustaches to hand deliver to him. He accepted it and friended her. He encourages and rewards that stuff that pretty heavily.
I have also heard that many of his friends on twitter are tired of the Loki crowd– the moment he follows someone’s feed, his fans will also follow. Someone on the Thor 2 crew once posted something to the effect “Now that Thor 2 is over, I hope I can finally shed all these annoying Hiddlestoners. Sayonara creepy people!”
@Eve: It’s interesting observing obsessed fandom in action, but I don’t want to be there the day it bites him in the ass. Because he will have to tell them himself sooner rather than later that they need to back off. Especially if he actually plans on having a healthy relationship with a sane woman eventually. I can put myself in his shoes and sort of see how someone who is just starting to make a name for himself would find the attention flattering and I understand how he would want to embrace his fans, but reading between the lines, the fact that he subtly encourages it …? Doesn’t speak well to me. :/ Shame too, because I want to like him as an actor/presence but it’s hard to separate that, you know?
@Jupitero – Damn, that’s a blatant hint if I ever saw one. Especially coming from a “coworker”, so to speak. Wonder if it hit home for Tom.
Oh yeah Hiddles wouldn’t have a one night stand, not with him being a pure sparkle unicorn and all.
Those fans make me laugh.
Yeah Hiddlestoners be cray. But I don’t scare off easily. *crack knuckles* Bring it bitches!
Also the crazy chick who put together the Wendy book was just in London with several other uppity ” high ranking” fans who he follows and they talked him into being interviewed for their documentary that they are supposely filming about British cinema. A lot of people think this documentary is fake as hell, and just a ploy to trick Tom, to get in his good graces or get into his pants or whatever. Tom needs to look into re-enforcing his fourth wall and a clue on the motives of fangirls.
These high ranking fans told no one what they were doing and acted like they were better than the rest of the fandom when they finally revealed what they were doing by getting Tom in a room to talk to them until their camera battery died. After this I think its pretty obivious that he caters to these crazy people. He’s going to end up chained up under someone’s sink some day if he keeps this up.
TheyPromisedMeBeer:
I did not see any evidence that this made a dent, but yeah that sounded like a hint to me. I think her real purpose was to tell his fans to bugger off and stop following her since they were clearly not interested in her so much as her interactions with him.
I dunno what to say. He really *does* seem to like these fans, even the totally crazy ones. I don’t think he is just being nice. I think it is straight from his heart.
@ Flower, yeah she is crazy the Wendy girl, she reeks of arrogance it’s just bafflingly funny. Anyway, the lengths to which they go is just idiotic. And they act as if because some genuinely dislike their attitude, it means they are envious of them… um ok!
As for his fandom thinking he is a prude… from what I have been told the man isn’t, he eye-f*cks you very much and he ain’t no Shakespearean when he chats you up (2 fellow colleagues told me so….) but yeah it’s not like sexual tension immediately rather than say the likes of Colin Farrell or Cillian Murphy smiles at you and you’re like “hell yeah let’s get dirty right now!”
@Flower: Are you serious? I totally missed the crazy Wendy lady’s presence, but then I have only heard of her as “Lokiismycopilot”.
Wow I have to admit that I took that documentary seriously at first and thought it was for real…. Until Hiddles was the first person they interviewed. Now that you mention this, I can’t find a single other thing any of them have done. It’s a Hiddles Honey Trap! This is even worse than the fans who posed as his hairdressers!
Hiddles should have had a clue. That he doesn’t sounds really askew to me.
They raised 12K for their “project.” Not much for a real documentary, but if it was never their intention to do anything real, well….
I need to comb over my Twitter feed and purge out anyone who is even vaguely a fan. There is someone named HiddlesGoddess following me, and they are starting to feel like termites.
@Ms Jupitero: its very telling about his co-worker’s comment. A while ago,he found his former nanny on twitter and contacted her and she shared his childhood memories there. One of the hiddlestoners entered the convo asking him to show a photo of that (story) and she replied something like that: “Thank you. The memories are ours not to share”. Awesome! Hahahaha
I wanted to hug/high-five her. Nobody dared to ask anything else. I am not sure if Tom deleted that convo, but I think he did.
@Eve: Brace yourself, Lindsay Lohan is going to Brazil! argh!
@MsKay,
I just find the fans who think he’s pure hilarious, and they still say that even after having watched him on film flirting outrageously with a woman in an interview. They forget he’s a grown man with needs who is in such a position that women are falling all over themselves at his at times geeky charms. No doubt he is pulling more women than at any other point in his life. These silly fans keep asking why he’s still single and isn’t married and ooh he must be so miserable. Uh huh, lol.
@Miss Jupitero,
There is a Twitter called Hiddles productions who is involved with this fake documentary thing. He follows her because I think she was involved with the Wendy book. As for Hiddlesgoddess, that girl is cray, she is always tweeting Tom and his pr man about all kinds of nonsense. Scary people. They cannot be content about just being a fan, they have to try to be special snowflakes and he encourages it sad to say.
@Jupitero – it was a female cast mate that had to make that statement? That’s even worse, since it goes past “hey, someone he works with!” and straight into “what is her relationship with him, exactly?” stalker territory. No one should have to deal with that. That fandom might just end up biting him in the ass professionally as well as personally.
@Miss Kay – I’m not doubting that his literary pursuits are sincere, but the fact that he brings the eyefucks and raunch to pick up women is making him sound like every male hipster English major that came into my old book store. Somehow, I’m not surprised, but I am pretty amused. Whatever works for him. But, question (if you have the info): is he like Seth MacFarlane in that he professes to like them intelligent and clever but really picks up airheads at the end of the night?
Also, I was feeling a little confused when I first scammed your comments and saw my name. What is a “Wendy” book? I feel that, as a Wendy, I should know this.
I’ve only claimed Tom as my CB husband, never looked at Tumbler before (I’m not a social media person) I just looked at your links……Gross! Creepy! WTH?! Do i need to find a new husband? 🙁
Are all the good ones taken?
I know how crazy fangirls can be, even before tumblr as I was an active member and later moderator of a My Chemical Romance fan community for a while. Girls went nuts whenever the possibility of the members having a girlfriend/fiance.
But yeah, I remember being naive and thinking that my idols would NEVER have casual sex or cheat on anyone. While I didn’t believe all the stuff my Catholic School abstinence-only sex ed course taught me, I still had hangups about sex as a result. It takes a while for young women to realize casual sex isn’t the disease-ridden pit of depraved debauchery that you believe it is when you’re young.
I’m now older and I usually hope guys I like (Hiddles, Gordon-Levitt, Cumberbatch, Harington, Whishaw) fuck a lot in case I ever get a chance with them so they know what the Hell they’re doing.
I need some of those muffins. hand em over. I think of myself as savvy to this kind of insanity, but until these guys interviewed Hiddles (and then absolutely no one else of note during their two day stay in London) I would never have guessed it to be a fan stunt.
Question: for heavens sake, aren’t professional actors supposed to have filters in place? Agents? publicists? People who look out for this? I hope he is at least embarrassed and taking this as a cautionary tale, but I suspect he is not. Edit: I googled and found something that indicates that he knows who these people are and really does enjoy this attention. His words “without you there’s no me.” Wow.
Lemony, yeah, my. Thinking is a big “eyyyyyeeeeww?” I think you deserve a better husband.
@WendyNerd,
http://projectwendy.tumblr.com/
The woman made copies of this book (and it’s a very large book, so betya it cost her a mint to not only make one for Tom but those guys at MTV), and she personally went to England to give it to Tom’s rep’s, went home, waited a few weeks and then Tom finally noticed.
He responded with a video and he started to follow her, which lead to her obnoxious tweet “we (meaning those are followed by Tom) are the chosen few” (while the rest of the fans who follow him and don’t get a follow back I guess are just mere peons). Now I guess she has gone to the UK again as a crew person for some fan made documentary film, and met him there. How these fans have the money and time to travel thousands of miles to stalk their favorite actor is beyond me.
Oh ladies, thank you for this convo! After the week I had last week, this gave me the laugh I really needed. (Um, there may or may not have been alcohol involved in this gigglefest; it is a holiday after all…)
@ Waitingforthesun:
That blog (from which I took those quotes) is pretty harmless, compared to that crazy “Wendy Project” one. But I had to use those quotes because they proved my point about his fandom — that they’re extremely naïve and delusional.
You’ll find great .gifs and pictures there though.
http://tomhiddlestunned.tumblr.com/
@ Flower:
Also the crazy chick who put together the Wendy book was just in London with several other uppity ” high ranking” fans who he follows
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! They probably think they’re the shit because of that.
Do you think they put that on their résumés? “Tom Hiddleston’s high ranking fan”.
@ Flower, Miss M, Miss Jupitero et al:
Look, I know there’s no way you can control fans’s online batshit craziness, but there are ways of politely saying certain things are off limits.
Hiddleston does NOT do that. On the contrary, he encourages them. As crazy as they seem to be, he still CLEARLY enjoys their attention.
As a result, sane people (like myself) are slowly but consistently losing their respect for him as an actor. That and some of his stupid tweets, like “Sometimes the answer is to climb the nearest mountain and everything is better. Literally. Not a metaphor.”
Thank you, Mr. Hiddleston. I’d never guess that something meant literally was NOT a metaphor. Ugh!…
I wonder what’ll make him stop being so open to his fans. His interaction with them and their obsession with him are bordering on unhealthy.
Eve, thanks. You restore my faith in women’s intelligence. I love Tom and I think is genuine but I’d also like a less naif fandom and a more realistic approach to life.
“As a result, sane people (like myself) are slowly but consistently losing their respect for him as an actor.”
Eve: Tou described perfectly exactly what happened to me. I was initially really jazzed about the Hiddles, and took him to be smart and deeply promising, but I feel he is proving himself to be… sorry…. an idiot who is blowing his promise by clinging to his Loki fandom. Granted, his tweets haven’t helped. I have lost my respect for him as an actor and as an artist.
@ Miss Jupitero @ Eve
Fantasy aside… So the bad thing about this guy is that he’s ‘too nice’..? Every single actor likes the attention no matter how small/big degree. And that’s taking it a bit too far to call him names (cf Miss Jupitero – “idiot”), and frankly Eve dear, confusing enough you keep tracks of some tumblr whenever you mention him, whereas the insanity over there should be enough to keep you off it. Not that you can’t share some funny anecdotes but still, I have never ran pages on a tumblr or whatever… I just don’t go there, no matter how much I like an actor/actress, but the fact is I never liked tumblr.
My point is, if only he was a douchebag (which he isn’t or at least not yet) I’d understand, but frankly I have yet to check how being nice (and perhaps naive) is being bad..?
As much as I loathe his fandom, one can be rational enough to think that, egging his fans or *not*, they are still cuckoo, one can be rational enough to think that his tweets aren’t all that, so nitpicking on one tweet or two can’t sum him up. And that doesn’t make him any less of an actor, so to relate his fandom to his acting… how does that even work?
Is it possible to dislike Tom Hiddleston? Of course it is, but to call him an idiot/lose respect for him because of his fans? Perhaps it’s paying too much attention to them then. One can be rational enough to dissociate him from his fandom. He definitely has bad days with his fandom and other days to come who knows, but he just chooses to be the better person. That’s just how he is. I hope he continues to stay the way he is and not give in to what people think he should be, if he wants to stay close to his fans, so be it, but you can’t possibly call it a negative thing, just simply wish to the man that something bad doesn’t happen.
@ Ms Kay:
I had written a really long reply to you, I edited it to make it as clear as possible. It was awaiting moderation but it’s gone now, so I assume whoever was moderating didn’t aprove it.
I disagree with the points you tried to make. And especially with your defensive stance. Yes, defensive — either that or you misread my comment. Because I have never said I was losing my respect for him as an actor exclusively because of his batshit fans. No, that’s not enough to dislike anyone.
I knew this day — the day we would strongly disagree with each other — would eventually come but I expected a little bit of respect from you. The suggestion that I’m unfair and irrational insults me. It’s also untrue because I NEVER said I disliked him for being nice. I can’t even say I fully dislike him. I just think his excessive tweeting, his relationship with fans he should be avoiding…kind of makes him a famewhore. And that is a perfect valid reason do dislike him and lose respect for him AS AN ACTOR.
Also, I want to clarify two things: I don’t keep track of multiple Hiddleston related tumblr pages. I visit only one. The implication that I am somehow obsessed with dissing him — as a way of discrediting my opinion — isn’t something I expected you to do. But you did and I’m really offended and disappointed right now. I also never called him names: I said some of his tweets were stupid, and posted an example.
Please, try to ignore my comments from now on, if you can. I’ll try to skip yours.
Miss Kay, I don’t think anyone is criticizing Hiddles for being nice or wishing that he were a douchebag. I apologize for calling him an idiot– that was harsh– foolish would be a better word choice. I have a hard time respecting some of his decisions, and thus does affect how I see him overall, e.g, all that niceness starts to look a little desperate, etc.
Actively cultivating the crazier side of his fan base and believing he needs it just does sound like “niceness” to me; it sounds like poor judgement and possibly insufficient self love. He can do better.
It is certainly possible to put up reasonable adult boundaries and still be nice. Saying no does not make one a douchebag. Seriously, he has great qualities. I just wish he would treat himself better.
I would hate to see things get to a point where people have to avoid reading one another’s posts or can’t hear what the other person is saying. It doesn’t have to be that way.
This is a gossip blog where we all get to dish about celebrities and celebrity culture, and in my opinion, how an actor deals with crazy fans, fame, publicity, and his public image is all fair game.
We all like to dig around on the interwebs to gather the dirt, it’s fun and it is why we are here, and, with respect, Miss Kay, you seem to be as well informed about the fandom wanks of the HiddleHordes as anybody else. I didn’t know how old the Wendy Lady was until you mentioned it.
I’m a nice person and I love nice people. Hiddles certainly has his nice and immensely charming qualities, but there is also plenty of room for saying “hey, wait a minute…” same as with anyone else. He is not a sacred cow. Nobody is.
I’d also like to say, Miss Kay — and is is not a criticism, I oknow you carry a strong torch for Hiddles and I respect that– but some of the stuff you have said about Hiddles kind of makes him sound…. well, like a bit of a douchebag! Working the room and eye fucking all the women he meets? Seriously? When is it okay for me to roll my eyes at this?
Don’t get me wrong– I don’t expect the guy to be a Disney Prince, and I immensely enjoyed the thread about his Monster Crotch, and God knows I am not the nost pure of heart (I like his dirty side, and am immensely cheered to know he is a real human being with nice kinky underbelly) but your own accounts and the accounts of others make him sound like a bit of a pickup artist and a model banger, and I generally tend to file that under at least mild tendencies toward douchbaggery.
I’m okay with it, but lets all be free to call it what it is, okay?
Again, whatever your opinion might be, and I LOVE hearing what you have to say because you are so wonderfully witty and fun in saying it, I maintain that this topic is fair game for snarking, and nobody should be shamed for throwing their hat in the ring and snarking away. It’s just gossip, after all.
@ Miss M
I work in the PR/media industry. The Wendy Girl has been talked about in them PR offices a lot the very same day she gave that book so yes it’s an info, not gossip per se.
The whole “idiot” word was simply reaching in my opinion, not that you don’t have the right to say it. I’m not carrying any torch for anyone, I firmly give a general statement about how kind the guy is, so I raise my eyebrows when people find some way to pick a negative on his nature, loathe the fandom yes but there is a difference, I am not going to be sensitive Shakespeare drama because one disagrees with my say. So far the man hasn’t done anything scandalous which is why I’m stand on my position. I have stated that it is possible to dislike him, and on another post indeed I pointed out the fact he looks at women because he is *not* a saint/prude/virgin as his crazy fans imagine, now if you want to see it as douchebag, your go. He is a man who checks out them ladies, now the whole specifics that they are models etc.. *shrugs*
I am always opened to discussions/debates, all fair in war/love/hate but hey if others are that sensitive, then better not engage, I am not going to be biased because I like someone.
Ms.Kay, I think you are conflating my statements with statements made by others, and also jumping to a lot of erroneous conclusions.
I have never said or implied that Tom is a bad person. Never. I have questioned his wisdom in how he has handled his fans. He does egg them on and in his own way participates in and enables the lunacy, and this does come across as kind of desperate. These are perfectly fair statements. You don’t have to agree, but I think he plays a role in all this.
As for the “douchbag” reference– did you notice that you are the one who brought that word up? I don’t in fact think Tom is a “douchebag.” I think he is human and not especially saintly. I like that in a man. I think it is also okay to point out how different people might have a different take on that kind of behavior. I know you feel strongly about him, but for heavens sake he is not perfect nor is he a sacred cow. There is no need for all of this defensiveness.
I have *not* at any time criticized you personally or said that I will avoid your posts. I don’t do that. I think we are all taking things just a little too personally here, and I would really love it if we could all back down a bit and be a little less threatened by other people’s opinions. The last thing we need is for people to feel like “oh God, I better say only nice things about ______, or ____ will come after me with scissors.”
@ Miss Jupitero
I am not conflating your comments with others, I read carefully every single comment of yours and take it into consideration before replying. You should check your previous posts as “douchebag” conclusion you are the one who brought it up in the 1st place.
I have never deviated from my statement since (i.e. he is genuinely nice and appreciative of his fandom despite their sheer craziness and the risks so let’s not wish him ill etc…). Just because we disagree doesn’t mean that I take it personally, I am trying to make you understand why I disagree, not to convince you to agree with me, there is a difference. Now if you feel like “I’m going to come after you” because you have said something that I might disagree with (cf your scissor reference) then may be you are the sensitive one? Like I said before, I’m opened to discussion/debate, all fair in war/love/hate. I have addressed to you on the points I disagreed on, you are making the deflection with the Tom Hiddleston is sacred angle, I never implied it.
A point of view is a point of view, and I express it regardless of whom the person might be, so no I don’t criticize anyone as I don’t know anyone, I disagree with a point of view. There is a difference between talking common sense, disagree and taking things personally, I still have a sense of decorum ^^
This could go on and on, but I repeat, I stand by what I say, just like you do, different points of view indeed, so fair enough my dear.
Ms Kay, you’re a nice person so far as I can see, I like you, and I hope we can all just step back and not take things so personally.
I honestly don’t care what your position is and have never had any desire to change your mind– have you noticed that? There is room for everyone here.
Nobody in this thread has said anything that is out of line or that violates the spirit or TOS of CB. They have only taken positions or drawn conclusions that you don’t like.
That’s okay. It’s valid. You do not get the final word on who is right and who is wrong. Nobody does. We all have the right to be here. Coming in and scolding people as hominem just doesn’t have a place here.
This is a topic that you take very very personally, and while I respect that (to a reasonable point). I hope though that you can also step back a bit and put things in perspective and make a little space around thus topic. You do not own it. This is a web forum. It’s not the United Nations. Lets lighten up.
@Ms Kay: just came back to see if things had calmed down a bit and I saw your post-

@ Miss M
I work in the PR/media industry. The Wendy Girl has been talked about in them PR offices a lot the very same day she gave that book so yes it’s an info, not gossip per se.”
I never made any comment about this Wendy person. I made comments about Hiddlestoners in general, I think you got my statements confused with someone else’s.
You know, I used to be a George Clooney fan, even participated in one blog. Let me tell you, the way the security team, instructed by his employee, treated many people at NYFF2011 was not good at all. As if we were going to harm him. Oh, and I felt extremely disrespected.
I guess they didn’t get the memo the most people there are either members or die-hard cinephiles who had no clue he was showing up there in the first place. Anyway, I can see this happening to Hiddles in the near future.
Thanks for the muffin, LOL. I’m only a casual fan of Hiddles, I don’t even check his Twitter all the time. It seems like he only has three types of tweets anyway: Song of The Day, Loki’s Army tweets for his fans and obscure highbrow quotes.
I think he treats his fans this way because he’s just very sweet, but he really should learn to be more private. They’re already very crazy and obsessive and this constant egging on doesn’t do them any favors.
@Eve: For the love of God! next thing we know they will think he is a virgin… or he is waiting for the love of his life…Yeah, right!
Well.. in this case… I am right here, Tom! hahahaha
Right? It’s baffling! I actually copied and saved the comments because I wanted to be as accurate as possible (whenever I posted about that here) — I didn’t want to be accused of putting words in their mouths.
@Eve: It’s a good idea to copy and paste it because it warns us about their crazy little hearts and antics.
How this man can have a real relationship? It would be such a turn off for me, seriously…
I’ve read some posts on tumblr where these girls actually state that they think he’s a virgin. I always think “little girl, go home, you’re drunk”.
Maybe it’s a result of the Disney channel trying to paint their talent as “virgins”, or that virgin ring pheom or maybe they come from very cloistered and protective homes. Whatever it is, or whatever they think, he ain’t.
Why the Hell would you even want to think that the actor you crush on is a virgin? That’s just awful… Don’t they get that virgins suck at sex? Why is this so hard to understand for some people.
But seriously….
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If he’s a virgin, then I’m Phyllis Schlafly.
@Dasha, I went to High School during the age of The Jonas Brothers when the “purity ring/purity ball” thing was at it’s zenith. I had no idea it was still going on now. I thought that ended when The Jonas’s popularity did.
I went to a Catholic school, and when I went to High School, if you were a girl and you didn’t wear one of those things, every other girl treated you like you were going to try and steal their boyfriend. Not fun.
I do not get the level of fangirling over this guy at all. I think his personality makes him more attractive then his actual looks (I feel the same way about Matt Smith too) and he seems to stay out of trouble.
I will say that he and Idris Elba were the only people to remember to act in that dreadful Thor movie.
This is THE thing that turned me off most to Hiddles. Crazy ass fandoms are sometimes beyond ones control, but he really encourages it and had even friended some of the craziest. At first I thought it was on the bad advice of his publicist, but I concluded in the end that he really does like this attention.
Just read on the Tom Hiddleston tumblr thread about how one of the faithful who has met him many times says he has changed a bit. Around the time of ‘War Horse’ he was very obliging (photos, autographs, the whole bit) but not so much now. This person said she was refused having a photo taken four times now by Tom. Still doesn’t explain allowing the cray-cray Twitter following…
Ok, I checked the page out… WOW…. Why can’t they just say Wendy is a mustache on the project page? Because… I was really confused until I watched all the way through that Loki’d video.
I’ve done some dumb fan-related shit, like buying my favorite rock stars gifts, writing way too much fan fiction and starting fan pages back when I was a teenager… But this is really dumb and time wasting. Also, it’s kind of annoying. Being named Wendy with all the Peter Pan and fast food references was annoying enough. Now this.
Seriously, though, I bet it was either a school trip or she has a rich Daddy. It’s creepy that she’s pretty much stalking him though. If I was famous and someone started some huge project over some random joke I did in some video and TRACKED ME DOWN to show it to me, I would be SO CREEPED OUT.
As much as I’d like to say that the Wendy person is a teenager, she isn’t, most of the crazy stalkers who went to London are grown adults.
WOW.
…she’s in her mid 30s onwards my dear… mid 30s onwards… just fawking saaaaad…
it takes me back to them 90s when I was head over heels crazy about the Backstreet Boys, I missed one afternoon of school has they happened to be in my town signing autographs at the Virgin store that day… and that’s about the craziest fan-cuckoo thing I’ve ever done in my life.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
@Miss Jupitero,
I’m not with you on this, I think Tom is a good actor and a nice person. What I don’t appreciate is people who are too gullible and have lost contact with reality and present themselves like total idiots and, honestly, I don’t think you can blame Tom for this.
No I wouldn’t hit. He is missing that special allure that makes a man irresistible. And I am not talking about physical appearance but sex appeal. Daniel Radcliffe looks old in his picture here. He is only 24 or 25?
I would
I would hit it like there is no tomorrow, except for the shanking of course, & the fact that his fan base is mucho crazy (don’t want to be lumped in with them). Now a couple of Tumblr voices of sanity are calling out the more egregious stunts, including one that involved a all fan documentary film crew. Guess they had to graduate from giving him fan book projects sometime.
I must say that the fake documentary all-fan film crew as described in this thread sounds mind-boggling. I’ve never heard of fans going to such lengths.
How is it so easy for fans to have access to him, I wonder? I agree with the poster who said that you would expect there to be some “filters” around a famous person, just common sense.
Sounds like Hiddles ought to watch his back, lest he find himself “Misery-ed.”
My opinion, I would have thought the two incidents from last summer would have TWH and his team think twice about encouraging any of these nutbags. One was the pretending to be the hairdresser who had worked on a film with him & wanted to get together, the other was the ones that had staked out his hotel in Detroit when he was filming ‘Only Lovers left Alive'(Granted, TWH did tweet a photo of himself outside the hotel, so most knew where he was staying) Girlies waited 8 hours for him in the lobby & he was forced to make time for them, because they had waited all day to see him. Kind of a crap position to put him in, but they got what they wanted. Like Flower posted above, one of those crazies are going to see him as the ultimate souvenir & squirrel him away under their sink.
Tom reminds me of Edward Norton. Am I alone here?
All day, everyday 🙂
I strategically avoid any non-CB coverage of Tom in order avoid a bloodbath. The rabidness of his infantile fanbase is really “beyond”. I legitimately dig him as an actor, and I don’t want some pubescent child ruining that for me.
I had no idea what non-CB coverage of Hiddles is like until today..I checked out the Tumbler info posted above and..whoa…gross! creeeepy! disturbing! I think he is talented and very attractive, but if he doesn’t distance himself from those stalkers his career will suffer, I’m afraid.
Hiddles dresses nicely but I prefer him scruffy and bloody http://plantageneta.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/henry-v.jpg
I live Hiddles but prefer his hair a bit darker even though he does remind me of my high school boyfriend
For some reason his face reminds me of E (Kevin Connolly) from Entourage in these pics.
I would climb him like tree and go on a 24 hour sex bender. Everyday. Lol.
On to other topics: Helen Mirren!! I want to be her when I grow up, and I want her earrings NOW!
+1
I am trying to think of American actresses who are in their 40s, 50s or older, who seem to be both dignified and have a sense of humor about themselves, and can only come up with Meryl Streep off the top of my head. On the other hand, I can think of several British actresses who have those qualities, and I have to wonder why the disparity?
Perhaps because the American ones are obsessed with plstic surgery and, in my opinion, it strips away their essence eventually.
I’m still saying I want to be her when I grow up (even though I’m technically a “grown up” now) I’m glad I’m not the only one because she is awesome!
i would rip off that suit, tie him to my bed & shag him senseless into the next century…. You asked…
I don’t think he’s even remotely attractive…reminds me a little like Sean Penn when he was younger. No thanks…
I’d hit it and quit it with Tom, often and weekly, without even balancing the pros and cons. He’s a gorgeous man.
I love Martin’s scarf!
About Hiddles though… He looks cute but I prefer “alien-looking” Cumberbatch 😀
Hit it? He’d walk funny for a year.
I have to be honest, I borrowed that phrase from another CBitcher 😉
No. He just doesn’t do it for me for some reason. I think I may be one of only 3 people who’ve said ‘No’.
It hasn’t been said here yet, but I simply have to. The man has an enormous 5-head. Like, half of his entire head is forhead, sort of like the proportions of those plastic eggs you open.
Don’t throw me to the wolves, ladies. I mean no offense, it just… stands out to me…
He doesn’t get me all hot and botherd, but Tom’s definitely settle down and make tons of babies and have a good fun life together material. I’m also 99% sure he was at the same event last year. I’m remembering a picture of him and Olivia Wilde and Chris Hemsworth sitting at the same table.

I have never found Loki hot until these pics. He looks great.
I used to REALLY be into Tom until he proved himself to be incredibly naive when it came to his fans. I really do think he thinks he’s doing the right thing by taking his time to appreciate them, but he seems to have created a monster. This British Film Documentary is beyond the pale. I know he’s passionate about up-and-comers, judging from his involvement with that Jameson Done in 60 Seconds film competition, so it’s like they took advantage of that. The “director” of this documentary is Seraphina (@JustSeraphina), who he’s followed for a while since he discovered she ran the GodofBadassery account, and there’s that video of him cracking up when he first met her at the War Horse premiere in NYC when he realized this Loki account he’d been bantering with was this little girl. I’m guessing she’s early 20s (if that). But she suddenly decides to quit her job last fall and start crowdfunding for a film about British cinema. An American girl who’s never actually been to the UK, and she has no film credentials to speak of. Okay. They don’t seem to have gotten any other people involved of note. There’s a picture of Seraphina with him on her tumblr, and she looks bored and angry. When people commented about why wasn’t she smiling, she got mad and defensive. Said she was tired and hungover and “he’s just a person.” Wow. Talk about thinking you’re cooler than the whole planet. Her film was obviously designed just to get at him, but she pretends like she doesn’t care who he is. And I have to assume that since she was hungover, she was spending her film budget on partying, and she’s showing up as the director to interview her big star, and she’s hungover? So she used the fandom to raise her money, but pretends she isn’t a fan. Whatever. She had also tweeted something about their hotel had speakers in the bathroom. Listen, I’ve been to London many times and stayed in a lot of hotels there, and none of them had speakers in the bathroom (several didn’t even have en suite bathrooms!). I can’t help but think she also spent her film budget on a 4 or 5-star hotel as well. Ha ha, joke is on you, fandom! I think she’s pretty mean and spiteful, to be honest. The film twitter is @BritishFilmDoc, and you can see the other members of her film crew. All fans, who pretend they’re not. At least this @LokiismyCopiot girl doesn’t pretend NOT to be a fan while doing all this. And I haven’t seen her tweet much of anything about London, so at least she’s not bragging about it. Who knows, maybe she’s loaded and can afford to fly around the world to meet him. If you’ve got the cash, why not spend it? I thought Project Wendy was weird, but Tom seemed amused by it, so whatever.
These girls always act like they don’t care, but when it comes to Tom they use him as leverage to act like they run the entire fandom. They have no idea how many people actually hate them due to their arrogance and their need to be a voice for Tom. IMO, anyone who spends more than the price of a movie ticket to meet/see their favorite star needs to take an honest look at their life and what it lacks.
Bet those “super fans” also thought they could get into his pants during that trip, he sleeps with models, so lol.
He’s either incredibly naive where the fans are concerned or loves the attention.
He follows loads of fan accounts and some of them DM him quite a lot – he usually responds almost immediately if he’s online (he’s such an unemployed bum at the moment!)
I know on one occasion he gave out some fairly juicy information on his future whereabouts and what events he may or may not be doing. Jeez Thomas, you don’t give out that sort of info to fans!
I’m not liking his look at the moment – too skinny. In fact, the last time he looked really good was the Avengers press tour.
