Tom Hiddleston, velvet-less at the LA premiere of ‘Thor 2’: gorgeous or cheesy?

wenn20819140

I’m starting to feel like I made a pact with Lucifer’s Homegirl when I promised not to make fun of Tom Hiddleston at all for one week. We’re only four days into it and already I’m starting to crack! No, no… I can hold it together. Here are some photos of your boyfriend Tommy Hiddleston at last night’s LA premiere of Thor 2: Loki Thunder. Once again, Tommy went without his beloved velvet. I’m sad for him! I miss the velvet. Tom ended up posing with Nathan Fillion and Zachary Levi for a bit on the red carpet too – Nathan greeted Tom like they are old friends, which is cute. Since I’m not saying anything bad about Tommy… I’ll just say that it’s an interesting posing choice he made, to pose like “The Thinker” – arms crossed, intellectual half-smirk on his face. I hope Tommy banged someone last night.

I saw that many of you were discussing Tommy’s appearance on Chatty Man with Alan Carr several nights ago. I tried to watch the full interview but Alan Carr’s voice is getting on my nerves. Here’s the full video interview:

And here’s the part that you really want, which is Tommy dancing like he’s auditioning for Magic Mike 2: The Thrusting Loki. Magic Loki: The Velvet Shaft. Magic Mike 2: English Thunder. I could keep going…

And here’s Tommy’s new interview with Yahoo Movies. I love his Sean Connery impression, but he’s rather humorless about Benedict Cumberbatch, isn’t he? Poor Tommy… he’s so jelly of Big Brother Cumby. Cain Hiddleston and Abel Cumberbatch.

    The dancing again…

    • browniecakes says:

      And I am dancing, see TH again. Last night was the last Thor TDW premiere. I will miss him.

  2. Another Ann says:

    Hiddles is adorable. He should consider growing his hair long like Loki, it definitely makes him hotter.

  3. T.fanty says:

    When did you promise not to make fun of TommyAnne? And why would you make such a foolish commitment? That’s almost as silly as trying a Cumby detox.

  4. MonicaQ says:

    Pfft, if I’m Hiddleston, I have no reason to be jealous of Sherlock. Multiple blockbuster movies, money hand over fist–look they can both be humble bragging and cloyingly annoying (and neither are very attractive in my book) but I’m pretty much over Cumby and his tumblr army.

  5. blue marie says:

    The best part of these photos is the belly cupping of Nathan Fillion.

  6. sqs says:

    Chee-geous.

  7. Lindy79 says:

    I love how he doesn’t know when to stop with the dancing. Carr walks away and Tommy is still kicking and flicking away.
    I did laugh at his “oh shit…microphooone!”

  8. T.fanty says:

    Oh, and major side-eye for the whole “I don’t google myself” bit. Darling, we love you FOR your foibles, not in spite of them.

    • Maureen says:

      He doesn’t Google himself … but he can tell interviewers all the things the fans are saying/doing about him on the internet! LOL, not a believable lie. Him and Cumberbatch are the same in that regard. They both claim they “stay away from all that” but then they forget they said that when they admit in interviews that they know about the memes, and the otters, and the “yaoi”, and the fan fictions, and all of it.

    • lunchcoma says:

      I think his cheat on that one is that he follows roughly a million people on Twitter and gets his info that way. There’s zero chance he’s not keeping up with all the craziness though.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Maybe it’s a technicality. He doesn’t google himself, but he searches on twitter, tumblr and yahoo search.

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      Is he saying that again? Oh and he doesn’t like the circus of celebrity.

    • jammypants says:

      I get the impression people just come to him and show him the crazy stuff on their phones etc.

    • blue marie says:

      what if you get “google alerts” about yourself, does that count as googling?

  9. bettyrose says:

    Oooohkay I’d hit it. But I’d slip a Loki wig onto his head in a subtle move mid-foreplay.

  10. Maureen says:

    This is nitpicky, I confess from the start, but … I really can’t stand that pose when he’s standing with one leg cocked out and bent sideways. It’s awful, not handsome, and really distracting. It’s deliberately posey like he practiced it in front of a mirror years ago and decided it would be his signature stance.

  11. GeeMoney says:

    “Thor 2: Loki Thunder”… too funny!

  12. Abby says:

    He looks meh here. That Alan Carr interview was alright though but I was feeling second hand embarassent for Tom when Alan was showing all he fan made paintings. I mean wasn’t there one where he was masturbating?? Eeeksss

    Lol he didn’t know how to react to BC’s reddit answer. Maybe Luke didn’t prepare an answer for him.

    • Janeite says:

      Can someone enlighten me a bit on just exactly who this Luke person is? I’m correct that it’s his publicist, right? He seems to be such a ubiquitous presence; is that normal? For some reason he seems to show up in so many pictures and I don’t notice that as much with other celebs. Maybe he just hovers more closely to his clients than other publicists do, but it seems like the guy is pretty much EVERYWHERE with Tom.

      • Maureen says:

        It’s because [MY THEORY AND I WILL NEVER CHANGE] Tom is batsh*t crazy and needs to have someone by his side to keep him reigned in. Well, I’m only half-joking about him being crazy, but I do think he’s has issues and can’t be allowed in public 100% by himself. I think Luke actually gives him some room on the leash and that’s when you see the theatrics and the dancing and the laughing, but without Luke he’s actually quite manic.

      • Janeite says:

        Thanks, Maureen. I hadn’t considered that possibility. In one of the “official” photos of last night (not one taken by a random fangirl) you can see Luke’s hand around Tom’s shoulder and it looks as if Luke is pulling him away quite insistently from someone Tom was talking to. It just struck me as kind of odd and not something I see that often with other actors. Sometimes you see their publicists in pics or interviews but they seem to try to keep a discreet distance. Maybe this Luke guy just takes his job VERY seriously! 🙂

      • CookiesandCream says:

        Tom has a tendency to get distracted and sidetracked very easily so I guess Luke kind of helps keep Tom on point.

    • Myrto says:

      I usually don’t care much about Tom Hiddleston but that Alan Carr interview was wonderful.
      And Tom was so charming in it. Yes he’s precious but god I’m literally swooning.
      Also I love Alan Carr’s voice! 50% of the reasons why I love watching Chatty Man is Alan Carr’s voice and accent.

  13. Beth says:

    Oh my god, the dancing.

  14. Lipsy says:

    Zach, Nathan and Tom… holy s-, they’re one TALL bunch! Like, legit tall, not Hollywood-tall.

  15. lunchcoma says:

    I didn’t get the sense that his subdued reaction about Cumberbatch was professional jealousy. I actually took it as the first hint that he might be a little tired of the creepy fanfic types, with perhaps a side dish of envy that Cumby knows a big word that he doesn’t.

    Anyway, he looks fine here, but on Chelsea Lately he looked thinner than usual for some reason, and I got the sense he didn’t know what to do with her.

    • LilyRose says:

      I agree, he probably doesn’t care to encourage the slash fic. I guess fans still send him links and mail in their stories. He may not seek it out online but he has seen it because that’s (probably) a big part of his fanmail.

  16. Simmie says:

    Tom is so much more attractive and charming that Cumby. Tommy, if you ever want to spend time with someone who has never given Sherlock a split second’s thought, I’d be happy to oblige.

    • Maureen says:

      It’s amazing how tastes can differ so polar opposite from person to person. I find Benedict to be SO utterly charming, while Tom chaffs at me with his dancing and his name-dropping and his general try-hard ways. I don’t detest Tom, mind you. I have absolutely nothing against him as an actor or a real person. But he doesn’t charm me in the least. Benedict, on the other hand, is a charm monster and completely mesmerizing to me.

      • Simmie says:

        Yeah that is basically how I feel in reverse. Maybe it’s because I’m not into Sherlock, but Cumberbatch does nada for me. I have no negative feelings about him, I just don’t care. But Tom I completely adore.

  17. Abby says:

    Here we go again…Tom fans have started the comparison between Cumby and their darling. I don’t mind you stating you love Tom but what is the need to say I choose him over Cumby anyday (it just bugs me).

    I am just stating my opinion.

    • jammypants says:

      Cumby fans do it too.

      • Miss M says:

        And they do it wayyyy more often. Actually, I think they started ( obsessively almost) this ridic comparison to the point of calling them “Cain and Abel”. Please,,,

      • jammypants says:

        yea I’m not sure how, when or why it got started, but the first time I ever ran across the comparisons in a negative, mean-spirited way was actually in Cumberbatch posts by his fans earlier this year. They always bring him up in Cumber posts, even if he had nothing to do with the post. It baffled me, and I was a bit taken aback. I don’t even know why they keep saying Hiddles is jealous and tries to outdo Cumberbatch. Like what? lol! They’re friends. It’s so reaching. I used to like Cumberbatch too, but his fans turned me off him. I can’t even watch his stuff anymore sadly. He’s ruined to me now. I still wish him well and think he’s talented though. In all fairness, I’m sure it can be the exact reverse for former Hiddle fans who switched over to Cumberbatch’s fandom as well.

    • Janeite says:

      I like both actors but I am put off by the rabid fangirl fandoms that they both have. I just avoid that aspect of things as much as possible.

      • LadyS says:

        THIS. I can’t deal with fandoms of any kind because they get so petty and childish to the point that they diminish what makes the men special in the first place. Their war-like arguments are nauseating. Tom and Ben might actually be friends for all we know.

      • lunchcoma says:

        Actually, we do know. Both Tom and Benedict profess to be friends. Granted, that’s fairly common among former castmates, but there seems to be some genuine affection in videos of them together.

        The fan stuff is silly. There’s room for them both to get parts, even if they end up competing sometimes.

    • Katie says:

      @LadyS

      I agree, (and TH and BC are actually friends, lol). They can both do fine, no need to put either one down.

  18. Dani2 says:

    Ugh, okay I am offficially a Hiddleston stan once again. That video. Ugh. Hips do not lie.

    This chart pretty much explains my slow-descent (or ascent?) into Hiddleston madness –
    http://31.media.tumblr.com/bb8b93d6b3ce3c896da1fa655b5c1be8/tumblr_mrwjpynru81rafsmko1_500.jpg

    I’m at the “dat voice like melted chocolate” stage.

    • GiGi says:

      Bwahahahaaaa! Pretty much exactly this.

      I was a real hold out… but about a month ago, I just gave up fighting it, lol!

  19. GIRLFACE says:

    I agree that minus the dancing, plus the longer hair, equals hotter.

  20. ag-UK says:

    I like them both but they BOTH name drop. I think both need to stop it so it won’t be re-printed over and over as if on a loop. NO NO NO for Tom on that Harley or whatever it is he is SO NOT that guy. Love his smile very sweet face. 🙂

    • LadyS says:

      Yeah, Tom name drops A LOT! I think he’s insecure. Probably doesn’t even notice he’s doing it. I would normally be annoyed by something like that, but then he is so sickeningly nice to everyone that I’m forced to forgive him.

      • cowgirlredd says:

        i’ve thought for a while the name dropping is part of the shill, like – ‘look at me, studio people! i give credit to others in public forums as often as possible! it’s not all about me, other people were involved and i’m happy to name them as often as i can! i’m an altruistic team-player!’ kinda thing. but then it comes across all name-droppy and pretentious, with that look-who-i-know, one-upper, nyah nyah nyah vibe.
        and he might not be looking at social media stuff that much on his personal time (or maybe he is, who knows), but certainly, in this day and age when the age-demographic to which he appeals is up to their eyeballs in social media, there is at least someone on his team/at his agency assigned to check out what the kids/fans are saying. whether it bothers him, encourages him, disgusts him or gets him off isn’t as relevant as his team, or whatever studio he’s shilling for, being aware of/having material with which to market their film/work. his personal feelings on the stuff that’s out there don’t matter as much as how the stuff that’s out there, and how he as a personality, can be marketed/exploited for that oh-so-precious bottom line. and he has to know about it because he has to walk the fine line between pretending not to know about it, but not upsetting the stans that devote so much time and effort to it. he’s gonna get asked about it anyway, his team just has to be savvy in how they handle his response/interaction. i doubt his personal feelings will ever be known.

  21. kpist says:

    He is just so darn lovable.

  22. Agnes says:

    Nathan Fillion and Zachary Levi! Oh… That’s all I need today

  23. Ginger says:

    Oh the one of him on the motorcycle just made my whole day! Thank you!

  24. Dawn K says:

    Ah, there’s my Zachary. My day is now complete.

  25. flower19720 says:

    He needs to bleach his teeth. And he looks less orange, maybe he listened to the net and left his crazy orange obsessed make up artist at home?

    Heard a lot of whining from fans on tumblr that he barely signed any autographs last night. Well if you stand there on your own free will for 12 hours and get nada, that’s your problem. These premieres are not a guarantee of anything.

    Looking forward to seeing the film on Friday :).

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      The DL rumor patrol has reported that yes indeed his make up artist was NOT able to make it. I agree with you on his teeth. They are noticeably yellow.

      • flower19720 says:

        I started to notice how bad they were at the Berlin premiere, not sure if its tea drinking or cigs or what. oO.

      • LadyS says:

        I like that his teeth are imperfect. Makes him more real to me. I’m glad the orange is gone though. Tanning is such an American thing. All the Brits/Irish stars are tanning now. *see Michael Fassbender in new GQ cover* Their management must think it makes them more attractive to the American audience. Blech!

      • lunchcoma says:

        I really hate the fake bake look on Hiddles, Fassbender, and the rest of those pale blondes and gingers. Most people can’t pull off skin tones so far from their natural coloring, and piling on the makeup just makes them look unnatural.

    • Samtha says:

      I hate the ultra-white teeth look. It’s so fake. What in the world is wrong with letting your teeth stay their natural color? His teeth don’t look bad, they just don’t look Hollywood white.

    • Janeite says:

      Flower, while you and I may disagree about whether or not Tom googles himself, I do agree with you about the fans at premieres thing. Spending 10 hours in line does not entitle one to any sort of special treatment. And that’s part of the problem I have with the whole rabid fandom thing that exists on Tumblr. They make the men they like into these perfect Disney gentlemen princes of the universe and not only is that not accurate and impossible for any human being to live up to, it sets the stage for epic disappointment the minute their too-high expectations are not met.

    • lc says:

      I was just thinking that his skin actually looks halfway decent and natural this time and you are telling me the makeup woman with the Macklemore coat wasn’t there? Hehe..
      Baby steps in the right direction, Tommy. Now if you can only unsew Luke from your sleeve…

  26. LadyS says:

    I can’t with the dancing anymore!! I want him sooo bad. Could you imagine the riot he must be to date? (Although part of me thinks he might actually be quite the opposite in private and probably very self-absorbed, but I don’t fucking care.) Lord o’ lord! God, please be kind and provide me with the opportunity to sleep with this man. Please, God!

  27. LadyS says:

    Why is nobody commenting on his fingers? Like what kind of holy fck? He has the longest most slender fingers ever!! His pinky is a regular index. Da fck!?!? I’m having really dirty thoughts now and I am not ashamed!

  28. Samtha says:

    Here for the Zach Levi. I keep forgetting he’s in the new Thor movie.

    Enough with the made up Cumby/Hiddleston rivalry. He sounded a little put off at the slash fanfic Cumberbatch encouraged, not at Cumberbatch himself. And can you blame him for that?

  29. Elise says:

    Zachary’s looking fiiiiiiiiine. God, that smile…*melts into a puddle*

  30. Stacie says:

    I’m so glad to see Zachary Levi getting some love here. He’s a great guy. Actually, those are probably three of the nicest guys in Hollywood right there.

  31. Mary-Rose says:

    I wished he left creepy Luke at home. I sweare one day TommyAnne is going to get annoyed with him and blow a fuse

    • Janeite says:

      Hi Mary-Rose, I posted a link to the Chelsea Lately interview for you on the other thread. I asked about the Luke thing earlier in this thread too. He’s just such a hovering ubiquitous presence and I don’t know enough about how the industry works to know if that’s normal or not.

      • Mary-Rose says:

        Oh TommyAnne getting caught for looking at Chelsea lately’s boobs. Naughty boy! Thanks for the link janeite. I’m glad I’m not alone in finding Luke creepy

    • flower19720 says:

      Creepy Luke has to go. I think he thinks sometimes that he is the actor and Tom is his hired help, fire him Hiddleston, fire him now before he ends up boiling a bunny “fatal attraction” style on your kitchen stove.

      As for Chelsea, girl has to know that is a Tom tactic, he’s been caught oogling like that before and saying “ooh I love your t-shirt”. Silly man, perv. LOL.

  32. St says:

    I see Nathan Fillion is still pregnant. Tommy almost rubs his belly. Don’t show this picture to LaineyGossip. She HATES belly rubbing!

  33. Naddie says:

    Baby’s being cute again, no surprise. He’s a combo of everything I dislike in a man, but I just love him. Good he’s not wearing velvet.

  34. Mouse says:

    He’s so adorable and sexy. Can’t wait to see him and Tilda in Only Lovers Left Alive!
