Tom Hiddleston might have a sex scene with a Victorian ghost in ‘Crimson Peak’

TH3

Tom Hiddleston spent months working on Crimson Peak last year with Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain. Crimson Peak the Guillermo del Toro film about a haunted house and MADNESS or something. I’ve already seen the film included on lists of “the most anticipated films of 2015.” Honestly, people don’t know that much about the plot or the characters, just that it seems to be set in the Victorian period and the Hiddles-in-a-black-wig looks like a dragonfly’d Edger Allen Poe. But Jessica Chastain has been promoting her projects back-to-back, and she’s been dropping little hints about Crimson Peak. She already said that she needed to take months off after working with Hiddles (ha). And now she’s telling Tommy’s BFF Josh Horowitz that Tommy definitely has a naughty scene:

We know very little about “Crimson Peak,” director Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming gothic horror movie, but thanks to Jessica Chastain, who co-stars in the flick, we now know one thing: Tom Hiddleston gets down.

During an interview with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz and Chastain’s “A Most Violent Year” co-star Oscar Isaac, Isaac asked Chastain how her upcoming thriller, which she filmed at the same time as “A Most Violent Year,” would make him feel “in [his] pants.”

“In your pants?” she asked. “Well, there is a Tom Hiddleston sex scene, boys! I know! So you guys. Not gonna say who, but there is some, you know. You can calm down.”

No, we can’t calm down, Jessica. We can’t. Who is the Hiddles getting with? His character’s name is “Sir Thomas Sharpe,” and he’s been spotted in Victorian garb around the set, so we’re assuming it’s something spooky.

[From MTV]

Theory #1: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with a ghost. And it was FILTHY.
Theory #2: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with Jessica Chastain’s character. And it was hot.
Theory #3: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with Charlie Hunnam’s character. And it was… OMG.
Theory #4: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with multiple ghosts. YES.
Theory #5: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with a Victorian bustle. Sweet, sweet bustle. TAP THAT BUSTLE.
Theory #6: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with an umbrella. Ouch.
Theory #7: Sir Thomas Sharpe had sex with a ghost and a bustle at the same time while Charlie Hunnam watched. And no one wore any clothes. Not even the ghost.

    Sounds…fascinating

  2. Brin says:

    That movie looks freaky.

  3. InvaderTak says:

    What? Lol I can’t wait for this movie.

    Also, can we appriciate for a second how awesome Josh Horowitz is? He need a to do more!

    • MtnRunner says:

      Josh IS Tommy’s biggest fanboy, y’know. Can’t wait to see what happens this year with these two.

  4. 'P'enny says:

    Good God – I’d forgotten how much that look does it for me. Especially the look where its all black.

    Oh and GDT get a move on and release us a clip – nakedness or smouldering or just plain pouring a cup of tea. I need this film now.

    • TotallyBiased says:

      YES!!!
      Didn’t he sort of promise us something by New Year’s? D*mn him, we need more than Chastain-teases to get us to October. Interestingly, this is the only one of his upcoming movies that *ALL* my friends have come to me and said “hey, I know you love this guy–if you want some company so you don’t have to see it alone, I’d do that for you.”
      In other words, they’re all hot for the movie and don’t want to admit it! 😉

    • MtnRunner says:

      Maybe del Toro will premier it at Berlin Film Festival or Sundance.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      I was hoping there would be a trailer to accompany Legendary’s BlackHat but apparently, no.

  5. LadyMTL says:

    Hahahahaha, sex with a bustle? Someone’s getting desperate.

    I actually am really looking forward to this movie, I generally enjoy Del Toro’s work. And the added Hiddles (with or without sexytimes) is a bonus!

  6. lunchcoma says:

    Oh boy, here we go. I’m settling in for a long comments section.

  7. jen says:

    Sign me up.

  8. browniecakes says:

    Mia’s character, Edith Cushing? We need Jim Beaver to weigh in!

    • Lucretia says:

      He marries Mia’s character, so that seems like a safe assumption . . .

      AND Tommy’s real-life younger sister is marrying an Irishman. Saw the announcement.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Yup–Irish, hot Ginger, from peerage family, food truck entrpreneur (he introduced CHORIZO to music festivals!) Marathoner and NGO worker (actual employee, not do-gooder volunteer) in Kenya.
        He’ll do.

      • InvaderTak says:

        Food trucks? Interesting. These posh guys come up with some of the strangest business ventures. More likely to make it than printed maatshmallows though lol

      • icerose says:

        he sounds like a catch-peerage loves peerage

      • frances says:

        can i ask where the announcement was? i can’t seem to find anything online.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        The Telegraph, dated 30 or 31 December. But a screen shot is making its way round Tumblr!

      • Mia says:

        What, what? Emma? Wasn’t she with that game of thrones actor?

    • MtnRunner says:

      I presume an early newlywed-ish sexy rumpus with Mia before she gets the wiggins.

      • icerose says:

        I an coming out with sex with both ladies and a tear stationed death.
        Now having reached chapter 7 of the Night Manager I see lots of hot sex scenario’s on the horizon.
        And Tom was born to play Pine. Athleticism ,collector of languages, smooth manners, elusive ,mischievous eyes, an element of unpredictably, the ability to wear suits and scruff and appeal to the ladies and a master of managing to avoid giving you any information he does not want. That’s out Tom.
        I am in love with this character already.

      • MtnRunner says:

        I seriously hope it’s not Chastain, since she’s playing his SISTER. ewww….

      • icerose says:

        well it is kinky and we know they have a weird relationship

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @MtnRunner, in that case, you might want to avoid High-Rise, but, yes, that has been hinted at for Crimson Peak.

        @IceRose, and Jonathan Pine’s character gets hit in the face quite a few times; something Tom seems to seek out for all his roles.

      • icerose says:

        @Lilacflowers that’s are boy never misses a chance to take it on the cheek.

      • MtnRunner says:

        I’ve got a nice right hook after growing up with two brothers. C’mon Tommy, let me have a swing at ya. I can make it hurt so good, baby.

  9. lucy2 says:

    Is there any movie Jessica Chastain isn’t in? I like her and all, but sheesh.

    This movie sounds interesting, I like a good ghost story.

  10. KatyD says:

    Shut up and take my money!! I so love this guy. The movie sounds intriguing–I love spooky Victorian melodramatic crap.

  11. kennedy says:

    I hope Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain have a steamy, hot scene. The Hunnam Hump and the glorious Chastain – I ship it.

    • 'P'enny says:

      I’m hoping for some Charlie & tom action – everyone is assuming it’s one of the girls 😜 in the meantime I can’t wait for PR circuit for this one. I am hoping behind scenes clips too. I bet tom did his best Geordie wind up on vharlie😜

      • icerose says:

        I would not be adverse to it but I suspect the hot action takes place in the mansion without Charlie.
        I an also seeing sex with his ghostly mother as she wafts out of the painting

      • crazy critter says:

        Well, i can’t say whether there will be any “action” between them, but i was actually on set for this film and once Tom did grab Charlie and dance an impromptu waltz with him between takes, so there’ s that……………

      • 'P'enny says:

        really LOL? tell us more!!

      • icerose says:

        that sounds fun -any other stories

      • crazy critter says:

        hmmmm……..so much to say, but I’ll mention wasn’t a Tom fan until I saw him on set!

        The shoots that i was involved in were looong and exhausting, (del Toro sets are known to be grueling), but Tom managed to keep everyone’s spirits up through his many antics. Not only did he waltz with Charlie, but he was trying to engage Mia in a duel at one point and was showing off some of his “Loki moves”. He’s quite the jester! But watching him during takes was like taking a master class in acting: his timing is impeccable. All in all he impressed me both as an actor and as a person: just very professional, yet kind, approachable and highly entertaining……………….not to mention extremely charming…………..of course, the early 20th c. tuxedo didn’t hurt! 🙂

      • icerose says:

        @Crazy critter How lucky you are both to see Tom and see del Toro in action. The nearest I will get to seeing Tom live is at the Nuffield Theatre talk so here’s hoping he wears one of his smart suits.

  12. j.eyre says:

    I am going to guess that it is Sir Thomas Sharpe in the Conservatory with Jessica Chastain’s character’s wig, because that thing definitely needs some teasing.

    Although, it might be Sir Thomas Sharpe in the Library with a First Folio – we don’t know how closely art will imitate life here.

  13. MtnRunner says:

    So now that JK has confirmed Skull Island is shooting in Detroit, who’s gonna be stalking, I mean hanging around the set and snapping pics for us?

    Tom in 70’s getup again for this one.

    • icerose says:

      He is also back in Canada with the Night Manager -trouble is I only have an ex boyfriend from my misspent youth in Quebec these days and not really welcome anymore.

      • Josa says:

        Not sure about Canada. The part that happened in small town Quebec can be filmed anywhere. What they must have is beach location and coast line location, since half of the story is in the Caribbeans, has something to do with sailing and on yacht. The tax credit will make filming in England very likely, a possible 1 or 2 other European locations.

      • icerose says:

        I just assumed they would be going for locations but maybe they will fake it. Canada is usually popular for filming because of the costs as well.. But it seems the BBC like filming in the UK-I heard something about Ireland and I think they do film one of their TV shows in the Caribbean.Not sure the UK coastline could double for the Carribean.
        Maybe they just mean the indoor shooting.

      • pixie-stix says:

        I read an article mentioning they are filming in ‘UK and Europe’…

      • icerose says:

        I am so disappointed that they are not filming in Quebec, Recreating a Quebec town in France will not be that easy especially as Quebec French and the accent is very different from the European French and Le Carre uses that the contrast of accent as a story prop in the book,

  14. Josa says:

    I would really like to see the video of this conversation, too bad there isn’t one. I love seeing Chastain teasing Josh Horowitz about Tom.

    • icerose says:

      We certainly are in for some treats
      Naked Balcony scenes
      Near necrophilia petting
      erotic Victorian passion
      fast and furious marriages with hot kisses
      Sex in Egypt, near sex in Dorset and sex in Canada by the water++++++. And I suspect more to come in the next few chapters
      And hot sweaty Tom in the jungle getting it on with Godzilla. or JK Simmons and we know JK is up for it after OZ

      • 'P'enny says:

        i like you , nicely put 🙂

      • Josa says:

        Hope they have some dialogue in French. Would love to hear Tom speaking French on TV.

      • icerose says:

        @Josa he uses European French in the book and also Spanish, Egyptian and German is mentioned but they will need to get people who can do the French Canadian accent if they keep the Canadian location.

  15. GingerCrunch says:

    YaY! Something to really look forward to! Cuz ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ was just a crushing disappointment.

  16. deering says:

    Blast it–where’s the teaser/trailer for this?!?! Come on, Guillermo, give it up!! Or you can arrange for Tom to hold private screenings of it at various Celebitchy members houses. Either works …:)

  17. Lauren says:

    Jessica Chastain plays his sister in this film and Mia W. his wife so lets hope one of the theories that he has sex with his own sister is not a serious theory.

    • lunchcoma says:

      Given what I’ve heard about this movie, I think it’s a serious and relatively plausible theory.

      • MtnRunner says:

        Since Chastain was the one who gave the teaser, I’m sorta assuming it’s not with her. Just a hunch. And ewww… (with his sister, that is).

    • icerose says:

      What is wrong with a little Victorian incest- but whatever there is going to be something weird about their relationship, Chastain has actually said it was quite exhausting emotionally or something like that

    • icerose says:

      I am pretty sure she and Tom have a very heavy relationship with some explosive scenes but what they are about would be spoilers??

  18. nonnie says:

    I heard from someone on twitter eons ago that he has sex with both Mia and Jessica’s characters. I cannot wait for this film.

  19. koko says:

    It’s been a year of talking about these projects. I’m ready to sit in the theater and watch them.
    Anyone else ready?

    • Darya says:

      Me! As someone stated so eloquently above, take my money already. Did I see somewhere that Night Manager won’t air until 2016? Any word on who gets it first – the Brits or us in North America?

  20. ellesbelles says:

    I’m late to the party again. All I can add is that I too cannot wait for this film.

  21. lokimon254 says:

    Love this man so much. I cannot wait for Crimson Peak and hopefully by then we will have seen or at least get the release dates for HR, ISTL, NM ect. Oh not forgetting Age of Ultron (thank you Idris). I cannot wait to see more Tom. Miss him so much, hopefully we get a few quotes from his Q and A next month, maybe a Crimson Peak trailer, more Sherlock rumours and I will throw Jaguar in there too because #itsgoodtobebad. Haha cannot wait to see him again. Its like he has disappeared but tbh he does deserve it, I mean he has been working back to backk for over a year now. <3 I'm sure whoever the sex scene(s) are with will be hottt.

    • icerose says:

      I will try and remember as much as I can. Sadly no recording devices.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      Jaguar has been hinting quite a bit lately and the Super Bowl is in two weeks.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        @LILACFLOWERS!
        It’s like magic–we say your name three times and you appear!
        😉

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @TotallyBiased, that’s my tribute to Michael Keaton, Tom’s co-star in Skull Island.

      • MtnRunner says:

        Lilac, I wondered if you could hear us talking about you all the way over here.

        So, I should expect kink from both HR and CP then? Tom really is trying to get away from Loki, isn’t he?

        Since our Pats are in the Bowl, I shall eagerly anticipate the Jag commercial.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @MtnRunner, I definitely expect lots of kinky things from both movies and Tom has never been shy about showing off his, ahem, assets on film. He has removed clothing in Unrelated, Archipelago, the Deep Blue Sea, and OLLA. THC featured the lovely sauna scene and Coriolanus whatever that sheet garment was, neither of which concealed much. It is a wonder he managed to remain clothed during War Horse and Joanna Hogg must have decided that she was mixing things up to have him fully dressed in Exhibition. I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if there were a nude scene in ISTL.

      • icerose says:

        he is a happy nudist which brings me to Ewan McGregor and Tom’s speculation re his size,

      • MtnRunner says:

        naughty icerose, you come back with something like that and don’t explain???

        Ewan does like to drop trou doesn’t he? I find it funny that millions of kids know him as Obi-Wan, keeper of all things good and pure, but we older ones remember him as the drug addict who wasn’t shy about showing us his, ehem, light saber in Trainspotting. *snicker*

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @MtnRunner, and Velvet Goldmine and Pillow Book, especially Pillow Book.

      • icerose says:

        @MtnRunner In the my space conversation with Gwendoline Christie they are discussing someone with the initials EM and his nudity and kind of reference size .From the time frame he is either just about to start or has started Othello-so easy deduction is Ewan as he has a reputation for being up for nudity in films.
        She says something like have you seen EW’s yet, If I can find it I will put it up.

        It is a rather sweet bit of fanning by the two of them.

  22. TotallyBiased says:

    Interesting new Follows he has added on Twitter. Including Patricia Arquette (who evidently is a global clean water advocate–who knew?) and Reece Witherspoon. Hmmm…

    • 'P'enny says:

      His twitter follows are really interesting – why jeremy renner now? He’s the only one dropping avenger reshoots hints. Lol 😜 seriously Hiddles needs to accept his followers follow his tweet follows as hints at who he is networking with, acting with or smooZing with – just hope he realises he is guilty if fan-baiting. Tom you want to leave twitter then leave if you want to engage then do so 😜 don’t be half in half out!

      • icerose says:

        His twitter to do with what he likes but follows always cause speculation who ever it is.
        I am guessing he was at his sister’s wedding. I wonder if photos will appear not from Tom but in peerage orientated magazines.

      • philae says:

        @ icerose, his sister’s wedding hasn’t happened yet.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        I’m with icerose–his twitter account is his to do with as he pleases. Viewing his action of choosing to follow any particular account as ‘fan-baiting’ is REALLY stretching it! That’s only true in a world where EVERYTHING revolves around the fan as center of the universe–I think you’re suffering from PR overload due to a certain other overly-exposed posh gent, my dear, and it is affecting your perception of our tall fellow’s activity.
        😀
        Now, do I sometimes think he considers fan attention when he follows someone? Sure–I think he has followed people knowing they will get extra attention (and probably followers) out of it.
        But I think he’d probably follow them anyway, and I don’t consider it fanbaiting to do someone that kind of favour.

      • MtnRunner says:

        I don’t consider his follows to be fan baiting. With the way he has pulled back on his fan interactions the past year, he can hardly be accused of that.

      • 'P'enny says:

        Ok I trolled a bit with that post – of course he can follow who he wants but it generate a comment or 2 on a slow Sunday night. 😜 btw benedicts wedding is 21at feb @st giles, Edinburgh 😜 daily mail buried the comment.

        Can’t wait for pics this will be a hello spread & Hiddles better be attended in top tails etc

      • 'P'enny says:

        Oops isn’t weekend 21st feb weekend of the Oscars? Whatever Mail printed they just edited it. Must have realised it was a mistake somewhere! 😕

      • icerose says:

        I thought it was marriage announcement -so I wonder if Tom will give her away with pictures.

        @Penny it generated many comments elsewhere. Assuming you were talking about Benny’s wedding in Hello. What did you mean the mail buried the comment,
        Still not sure if Tom will be there. It may depend on his schedule but I bet he makes his sisters.

        Harvey Weinstein was on Graham Norton telling tales to impress people with how he made Judi Dench a star and how he alone supports quality films . He is either trying for an OBE for himself or a Bafta for the Imitation Game. He made a point at the end of saying how Benedict thinks it was not good enough to give Turing a pardon him but he should have been honoured, Either they all have short memories or the research was pretty bad because he was given an OBE after the war,
        What really hit me was the power he has over actors David Tennant and Olivia Coleman bordered or sycophantic.

      • Josa says:

        I don’t see any comments on DM regarding Ben’s wedding, maybe ‘P’enny means they don’t allow comments?
        I thought his wedding is gonna be private. Unless private only means he is not going to have his wedding open for public, I thought private will mean family members and very close family friends only. Tom is just good friend, I got a feeling that he won’t be invited, nor will Freeman be. I expect Ben won’t invite too many famous friends if he truly wants his wedding to be private, it will just draw too much attention.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        @’P’enny — oh, well done! And effective 😉
        @icerose — methinks our DEAR Miss ‘P’enny was admitting to a bit of fishing (the best sort of trolling) with her bit o’snark re Lord Dragonfly’s Twitter follows.
        BTW, that description of Harvey on Graham Norton is seriously vomit-inducing. It disturbs me greatly that his influence appears to be spreading like decay even into Britain. As for the research–the ‘liberties’ taken w/Turing’s story for TIG make it quite apparent that accuracy takes a distant back seat to the exigencies of HW & Co’s machinations.

        @Josa–I’m rather in agreement re the BC wedding. Even if the guest list extends to friends such as Tom and Martin, if they truly want a private wedding I doubt we’ll ever know who was there (except James Rhodes, because he’ll tweet about it. 😉 )

      • icerose says:

        @Josa It is still there they just altered the wording,

        “Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is hoping for a double celebration next month. The star – nominated for the best actor award at February’s Oscars – is getting married just before the ceremony.I’m told the wedding will take place near his fiancée Sophie Hunter’s mother’s house in Scotland, and St Giles Cathedral on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile is the favourite.”

      • Josa says:

        @icerose. I see it now, a few comments about Ben’s wedding. Early when I read ‘P’enny’s post and went to DM to check, there were 4 comments all about Scarlet.

      • MtnRunner says:

        Please, let’s halt the Benny threadjacking on Hiddles ok? I’m so tired of his train wreck of a personal life that keeps getting thrust in my face. (And yet, I can’t turn away, I know! I know!)

        I mean, look at smiling, happy Hiddles up there in those snaps? Why would we want to bring the woes of Cumby over here to spoil the mood?

        Rant over. Love you all! *muah*

      • icerose says:

        @MtnRunner I am not that bothered about a bit of Benny interjection as long as it is not tired old comparisons but I know it does annoy some people so perhaps we can keep it to a minimum. I was just so nauseated by Weinstein that I needed to let off steam.
        Hiddles will always reign supreme on his thread no matter how may other actors come up,

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @’p’enny, the Oscars are February 22.
        @icerose, wouldn’t their father give Emma away at her wedding?
        And yes, leave Benny on the Benny threads. They are NOT joined at the hip.

        As for Tom’s possible whereabouts and activities, the London Collections Men shows were last weekend and he is listed as a committee member so he probably was in attendance at some point. However, most of the videos are of Oscar Cheshire and Tinie Tempeh, although on one of them, a guy who might be Tom seems to be trying to duck out of Oscar Cheshire’s way.

      • icerose says:

        @Lilacs you are right about her father my Tom deprived brain was lacking in oxygen.

    • MtnRunner says:

      Perhaps they will be working with him in the near future. Skull Island, maybe?

      • browniecakes says:

        TH started to follow Jared Leto and Lupita, Ellen DeGeneres, etc. – Oscars related peeps after the Oscars last year.

      • icerose says:

        could be but he might also have met them at some point-we will probably never know.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        I do hope no Reese in Skull Island (OR NM, for that matter.) But I’m not going to lose sleep over it. And hey, at least if she is in one of them it can only add to the general public interest.

      • icerose says:

        I am curious as to why Simmons and Keaton have signed up when they are odds in for an OSCAR.I would have thought they would be looking for something more prestigious while the offers are coming in??

      • Darya says:

        Nothing wrong with using a raise in profile to go for a decent paycheck in a potential world-wide blockbuster. It’s a win-win for everyone. On the other side, by signing quality talent Legendary tells the world that Skull Island is aiming to maybe be something more than a generic monster movie. Don’t forget new script work from an Oscar-nominated screenwriter – will probably a few good scenes for a serious actor to sink their teeth into.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Skull Island is all about King Kong and the actors are just there to have fun, get some publicity, and a paycheck. The bromance coming out of this one is going to be epic. Now, Legendary needs to sign some women to the film.

    • icerose says:

      @Totallybiased I agree nice trolling from Penny and we took the bait, This is what happens when Tom deprives us of any PR manoeuvres. He really needs to get his act together or we will have to create our own.

      • Josa says:

        A Tom post not reaching 100 comments. We run out of things to talk about when Tom has been so quiet. Can we hope for a Crimson Peak trailer to come sooner? Superbowl is coming, does Jaguar has anything good cooking for us starving Tom fans? I hope they don’t just give us a budget version, like they did last time hinted a Tom ad but gave us Hoult. No offense to Hoult he is cute, but he is no Tom.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        ^^^THIS^^^
        Talk about fan-baiting: @JaguarUSA are CRIMINALLY guilty of that!
        Okay, what meager smidgens of TomNews have we lately?
        RUMOUR has it he has been seen in his old haunts, gaining back the weight and muscle tone lost for IStL shooting.
        This pleases me.

      • icerose says:

        rumour also has in the land of little brains it that he is a FAS baby. You have to admire some people’s determination to find a new thread of gossip.
        Personally think he is the illegitimate son of Prince Charles and Camilla who was fostered out to a peerage family at birth.
        I never doubted he would not be back to his old weight and having some fun.

        @Josa and TotallyBiased, Jaguar is doing lots of hinting and, if they don’t produce for the Super Bowl, well, may my Patriots do unto them as they did unto the Colts yesterday.

        @icerose, I can only guess where that sick rumor originated.

      • MtnRunner says:

        The Colts without a Manning makes for pretty dull game against the Pats.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @MtnRunner, they ran out of Luck! After last week’s pass from Edelman and this week’s touchdown from Solder, we spent the fourth quarter making up possible scoring combinations. The more bizarre the better. Like Gronkowski to Ninkovich or Wilfork kicking a field goal.

        I do most definitely want a new Jaguar villains commercial, with certain specific villains (TOM AND MARK AND SIR BEN KINGSLEY AND ALAN RICKMAN IF YOU CAN GET HIM, to accompany my boys to the Super Bowl.

        In more serious news, apparently Wilfork rescued some woman from a car crash after the game yesterday. Not quite the level of Joe Andruzzi and Tedi Brueschi rescuing people after the marathon bombing but still up there in the category of Patriots players doing outstanding things off the field.

      • MtnRunner says:

        Yeah, Brueschi and Andruzzi pretty much stole this heartbroken runner’s heart with their heroics, along with the runners who were giving first aid and running on to Mass General to donate blood.

        I have a picture of my 1 year old son and I from ’09 watching the marathon near where the first bomb went off (turning on to Boylston before the finish). I always parked myself on that final stretch when I spectated. Scary stuff.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @MtnRunner, I always stood where the second bomb went off but stayed home that year because I was having work done on my kitchen and needed to be home to talk to some of the contractors. I still can’t walk by either spot without stopping and praying for Linghzi Lu, Krystle Campbell, and little Martin and realizing just how lucky I was to stay home that day. In the past week, I’ve noticed a great deal of tightened security around since the jury selection started.

  23. TotallyBiased says:

    Oh, and in that RC interview JK Simmons refers to him as Tom (as in “had lunch with” and he lists the other two guys by first and last name, but Hiddles is just Tom.) Denotes some initial familiarity, in a good way–right?

    • M.A.F. says:

      Pretty sure Tom charmed the pants of him.

    • pixie-stix says:

      I think in a good way. 🙂 In the MTV interview w/JHorowitz, JK Simmons calls his fellow cast members by their surnames; coming from an old campaigner like him it had a friendly we’re mates ring to it.

  24. TotallyBiased says:

    I miss ElleBelles, and Lilacflowers w/Colin,Mark, and the absinthe.

    • icerose says:

      EllesBelles has popped in but nobody was a around but I am sure she will be back.
      Maybe Lilacflowers is having a week off somewhere sunny with Colin and Strong leaving us to have our way with Tom.
      Strong has a new TV mini series or film in the states being advertised on TV at the moment. I must watch it more closely next time.

    • MtnRunner says:

      Lilac has been having some very intelligent discussions on the #OscarsSoWhite thread over the weekend.

      Elles may be lost in Tumblr… Where’s Gracie??

      • Gracie says:

        I’m here, I’m here. Too much a busy weekend and first day of the week. Do I hear alcohol? *wave to all*

        Now, let me take a deep breathe and look at Tommy’s smile. *drool*

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Thanks, MtnRunner, yes, I was trying to be intelligent there, having seen most of the films nominated in almost all categories and living with an octogenarian who lives and breathes “Oscar”, I hoped to contribute some insight. I somehow never saw this thread and I lament it. I would much rather have been here. I did see several films nominated in “other categories” this weekend: Inherent Vice (costumes and something else), Last Days of VietNam, Virunga, and Finding Vivien Maier.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      Sorry, I never saw this thread until this afternoon! Colin is serving a lovely lunch for all. Do enjoy. We’ve been all caught up in Patriots fever with my husband Chris explaining the rules to my other husband Tom and Colin and Mark and Jonny Lee. We’re all very excited for the Super Bowl, even more so than for the Oscars, despite Mark actually being in an Oscar nominated film. As he said, been there, done that.

      Tom may have been at the London Collections Men shows last weekend. He was on the committee.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        @Lilacflowers I saw some mention of him as being there (at the Collections) in ‘industry’ articles, but no pictures–which seemed a little odd. But they didn’t do pap sessions w/every big name that attended, so there you are. Big focus was the celeb model types–like David Gandy.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Totally Biased, and Oscar Cheshire. Either by himself or with Gandy. Tinie Tempeh seemed to be the non-model/designer spokesman. Tom may not have wanted to do an interview. If you look at the London Collection websites, he is listed as a member of the committee for the event, which would indicate some participation behind the scenes in some way. There are a number of videos on the website that I’ve scanned quickly to see if he’s in attendance and some of them look like he might be there but I haven’t frozen frame to be sure – I’m not that obsessive. One of the videos, a guy who looks a bit like him ducks out to the way as the camera zooms in on Gandy and Cheshire. Not that Cheshire isn’t pretty to look at.

      • icerose says:

        so it might be true that Tom has become camera shy – I guess he wants to become one of the cool kids. i love that his dedication to fashion only includes nice suits and supporting UK industry events,

  25. nonnie says:

    Tbh I am kinda suspicious of his radio silence…does anyone think he is trying to hide something, keep something underwraps and he isn’t tweeting doing interviews, appearances ect because he doesn’t want to give anything away. Or do you all just think he is having a well deserved rest with his family?

    • 'P'enny says:

      I think he just wants out for a while, 2013 he was on Marvel’s rollercoaster of silly funstuff which entertained us all. I think in 2014 he just wanted to get on with his day-job. He will keep the film gossip to himself till the the film’s released and he will have some juicy interview exclusives for us. [I hope] From June onwards, maybe Cannes in May, if we are lucky with High Rise he will come out to play. But, Crimson Peak will be big mainstream PR push for him. I’m really hoping this film is good, and he gets to be on the all the mainstream shows.

      I mean there is no point being all PR-eey when there is no need, right now a different bunch of Brit beauties are entertaining the film world. It’s a good time for him to recharge his batteries and not get caught up in it all.

      Plus his family have just announced an engagement, I bet there is a few family parties going and catch goings on. It would be in the normal world for us all.

      • icerose says:

        and I guess how much he is needed for the Avengers shoots, Have they had their previews for Ultron yet,

      • 'P'enny says:

        Avengers reshoots are a strange one, Hemsworth hasn’t been in the UK for ages, Chris Evans or RDJ. The only Avenger that has been in the UK since Christmas is Renner and Ruffalo. Renner is the only one that has admitted with a big hint that he is filming reshoots.

        Tom has been spotted walking around London with his usual stubble, so he hasn’t filmed anything yet.

        But, Tom has just recently followed Renner, so they may have met up recently.

        I shall carry on stalking and let you know 😉

      • philae says:

        I’m not sure if they are reshoots or additional scenes or if it’s even for The Avengers AoU, but he is at work with Marvel.
        https://twitter.com/SophiaLknight3/status/557166369834565633

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Philae–that is a make-up session from Thor:TDW. Yeah, I got all excited at first as well.

      • MtnRunner says:

        P’enny, you give excellent troll bait, lady. Of course, it doesn’t take much with so little news on our Lord Dragonfly. Please keep up the stalking as I get my supplementary news here. I’m counting on you!

      • 'P'enny says:

        @mtnRunner

        i have my twitcher outfit, spy-glass and butterfly net all ready to catch him… Lilacflowers won’t see me coming.

        yeah – sorry about the trolling bit :-p

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @’p’enny, are you underestimating the security capabilities of Mark Strong? But you are most welcome to join us, of course. Colin is now instructing the staff to serve dinner promptly at 6:30. Would you like a cocktail or two or three until then? And the boys are saving a seat for you at the Super Bowl viewing party. Be sure to practice your “Do your job!” cheer and screaming: “GRONK!!!!” at the top of your lungs while jumping up and down and waving your fists in the air.

      • Darya says:

        Am I allowed at the viewing party if I boisterously scream GO HAWKS at every opportunity? This Seattle girl is over the moon at recent events.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Darya, sure. But you may be assigned to a special room with Chris Pratt. Check out what is going on between Chris Evans and Chris Pratt on Twitter. An intense football rivalry has broken out between the Marvel franchises.

      • Darya says:

        Alone in a room with Chris Pratt? I can work with that. Wait – will his wife be there too? Actually, I think I could make that work as well – she’s as funny as he is and also easy on the eyes. As long as they wear the appropriate 12th Man gear, it’s all good. Go Hawks!

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Darya, I actually think Anna is funnier than he is. you can keep her in the room with you if you want or send her out to entertain the rest of us. It’s up to you.

    • MtnRunner says:

      My guess is that he no longer enjoys being so accessible to the public, especially with the stalking that he’s encountered in the past. I’m hoping this is a sign of maturity in dealing with his fame and fans. He was in need of downtime after his busy 2014 and I expect he’s enjoying good times with friends and family. Can’t wait to see the first pics of him looking healthy and at proper weight and reading/watching some decent interviews after being away for so long.

      • Lindy79 says:

        Agreed. I’m liking him more and more because he doesn’t engage with it as much as he used to. It only caused hassle and entitlement.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      While Tom has gone into radio silence on Twitter, another Marvel Avenger, Chris Evans has gone from never posting to posting frequently. Perhaps there is a rule about how many of the Marvel men can be active on Twitter at any given time.

    • Josa says:

      His radio science is probably not a strategic move, it’s a much needed down time to himself. 2014 must have taken a lot out of him. Holidays are exhausting also. He just stopped working and returned home one month ago and he will pack up again soon to do 2 long big projects back to back. Many promotional interviews and traveling, showing up for events are ensured when his 3 movies come out later the year. It will be as busy as ever for him for a long stretch. He needs this break to recharge, me think.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Agreed. And he has a family wedding to prepare for as well. He can’t tell his sister: “Sorry, I can’t make your wedding; Spielberg called.”

      • 'P'enny says:

        i remember reading an interview once where he was at his other sister’s wedding he missed the wedding banquet/lunch thing because he was busy dancing.

        I feel a bit sorry for Emma Hiddleston’s fiancee, because if Tom H does the big brother routine Loki style on the poor guy he won’t know what to do – he’ll probably leg it and never come back :-p .

        However, of course, Hiddles in real life appears to be a softie.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @’p’enny, I suspect the fiancee was on the family Mallorca trip and got approval there.

      • MtnRunner says:

        Family Mallorca trip?

      • Josa says:

        Tom missed his big sis’ wedding banquet cos he’s too busy dancing? lol but I can imagine that. And what family Mallorca trip? Lilacflowers, do tell.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Josa & MtnRunner, they go to Mallorca for a week every summer. This year he went after finishing High-Rise. That’s where some hair stylist tweeted a picture of the two of them together.

      • icerose says:

        It sounds as if the new family member will fit right in -it must have been a very relaxed wedding buffet? to have gone unnoticed or they area totally laid back family. My mother would have been near boiling if it was one of my brothers.

      • 'P'enny says:

        lol it was in India so probably the banquet probably went for several hours – I think I would go missing as well.

        @lilacflowers I didn’t realise it was a family thing in Mallorca? I got my hopes up he was filming a jag advert there because David Beckham had filmed one a few days previously. However, Jaguar did rain on our parade there due to there fan-baiting soooo I too now assume it may have been a family affair.

  26. lilyrosescarlet says:

    The more I hear about his upcoming projects, the more excited I am becoming. I cannot wait for his prompting of this film gonna be epicness

  29. Gracie says:

    Can I just say I missed you ladies terribly over the long, bloody weekend that was promised snowing but all I got was 5 minutes of icy flakes melted before hitting the grounds?

  30. ellesbelles says:

    I’m here!! Guilty about getting lost in tumblr. so many gifs…

    Oh! I’m going to be cleaning up the cloud today, fixing Othello, and adding an audio book recording of The Night Manager

    • MtnRunner says:

      Elles, welcome back… any chance that Loki: Brother of Thor will be added?

    • Gracie says:

      I might need a little Lokitherapy, or thorapy – that sounds more catchy – after the long day I had. What the hell. Where I do go to apply for a double deal?

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Oooh, sorry to hear that, Gracie. Here, have some absinthe. I’m staying in the quiet rooms because I have a tooth ache and all the football prep is NOT helping–esp as I don’t have a dog in this fight (In retrospect, isn’t that a horrible turn of phrase? I’m going to have to find a different way of saying that.)
        Come the Superbowl, I’ll be watching solely for the Jaguar commercials–even though I don’t actually think our man will be there. Sigh.

      • Gracie says:

        TotallyBiased, I feel your pain, my tooth have been aching since new years day. 🙁 Absinthe would be much appreciated. As for the Superbowl, I must confess – all I know is that’s the show caused my favourite TV shows to take a break from airing. Probably untrue. But that’s the impression I always had. 🙂

      • MtnRunner says:

        Gracie, the Superbowl is the biggest sporting event in America. Even if you don’t watch football, it’s an excuse to drink, eat pizza and nachos and watch the million dollar commercials with your friends and family. It’s practically a national holiday.

        …and MY PATS are back in the game this year! Woot Woot! You can take the girl outta Boston, but can’t take the Bah-stun outta the girl. GO PATS!

  31. lokimon254 says:

    If Sherlock rumours are to be believed, could it be that Tom is “secretly” filming Sherlock?

  32. TotallyBiased says:

    So, over at the Tumblr Blog Which Shall Not Be Named (but which I do, obviously, peek in at on occasion) there’s an anon post supposedly outing several Celebitchy commenters as being regular anons to a different, pro-Tom Tumblr. (Bear with me here, I will have a point. 😉 .)
    I find this actually hilarious because I *have* sent anons which were published on a Tumblr–but not the one they say. The Blog Which Shall Not Be Named has published a few of my ‘asks’! Not the other, pro-Tom account. (So now I’m curious just who they think I am on the PosiTom Tumblr.)

    • ellesbelles says:

      I’m partially annoyed partially amused.

      I’m the snow bunny anon over there for whoever has a burr up their butt and thought they were outing anyone. I shared the cloud ffs. everyone knows I run the cloud. oh noes! And the snow bunny name comes from the fact that i live where it snows.

      *yawn*

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Once I saw that ‘outing’ listing, I did have a peek and saw you. But if anyone else is crossed over, it doesn’t seem so obvious to me. And *this* is a very public gossip site, vs a tiny obscure tumblr. I do think people have too much time on their hands!

        BTW, in case I haven’t mentioned it recently, a trillion thanks for the (Dragonfly) Lord’s work you do with the cloud, Elles!!!

      • ellesbelles says:

        There are few but its up to them to name names. I just thought it was funny that I led the list.

        And you’re welcome! I pulled some lower quality things out of there and added some new stuff, like fixing Othello, and his full segment from top gear. I’m going to go back and find more vimeo links that i wasn’t able to convert before and add them, as well as add the video for some of the longer interviews, like RADA and Times Talk: Madrid

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Yay! ((Smooches))

  33. smyling says:

    This may be non-news, but in 2013, Tom was rumored to play the villain in DreamWork’s animated “Me and My Shadow” but that film was taken off the slate for “Sherman and Mr. Peabody” Well, it seems that “Shadow” is now filming, according to IMDB. I don’t know if Tom is still attached – there is very little cast info on the site, but thought I’d mention it, given the long dry spell we’re having with Tommy news.

    • MtnRunner says:

      Just saw that High Rise is premiering in Germany on Sept 17th, so with CP on Halloween and ISTL in late 2015, we’ll have a bounty of films to HIddles to enjoy in Q4.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        still such a long wait!!!

      • MtnRunner says:

        Yes, it is, TB. We’ll have to make due with OLLA, HC, Unrelated, Coriolanus etc and a host of you tube videos until then. Finally watched the Times talks Madrid video and really enjoyed it. That can help you kill another hour of time.

  34. TotallyBiased says:

    @MtnRunner–Well, s’pose I could rewatch them. As in the last two and a half years, I think I’ve seen/listened to EVERYTHING!
    I’ve even watched his old Casualty episode (ick.)
    “How desperate *are* you…?”
    I am VERY desperate.

    • MtnRunner says:

      There, there TB dear. May I make a drink for you? Perhaps a Fizzy Hiddles or a Pervy Tombanger? I’m making one of each more myself, so it’s really no bother.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Pervy Tombanger?! That sounds VERY good! Been too long, as I said. 😀

      • MtnRunner says:

        *hands drink to TB* *clinks glasses*

        I just saw a tweet that the CP trailer is to drop in early Feb, if not before. There’s some PuddleTom to look forward too!

      • TotallyBiased says:

        *clink*
        But don’t you think we’ve heard this cry of “Wolf!” before?
        Re CP trailer, that is.
        Perhaps you should make a pitcher of these things, they’re pretty *hic* good!

        Those LOVELY lovely people at BBC3–what a nice gift for a cold February.
        @ellesbelles, MtnRunner, Lilacflowers, et al–you won’t want to miss this!

      • ellesbelles says:

        @TB Girl I’m on Tumblr. Saw it this morning 😉 and have been having hearts eyes at the hoodie photo ever since

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Oh, yesSS! HeartsEyes indeed! And have you seen this description of the show?
        Words and Music – “A sequence of classical music interspersed with well-loved and less familiar poems and prose read by leading actors”

        at last the drought has ended

  36. MtnRunner says:

    Oh how lovely. CP trailer and now this… just in time for Valentines.

    Let’s celebrate with a round of Fizzy Hiddles, shall we?

    • Josa says:

      That CP trailer is overdue by at least a month, about time they release it, so they better. I’m looking forward to Feb. He will show up for WOS award on 15th? Nuffield on 22nd and now the radio show. Plus CP trailer. Now, if Globeplayer will be so nice and release that second interview of his, done in 2012. One can dream. Though there will be no Superbowl ad, Jaguar didn’t buy any TV spot this year. Bummer.

  37. pixie-stix says:

    So glad BBC 3 posted that pic of Tom looking deliciously healthy, I was going through withdrawals. My question is will he be at the BAFTAs, I need to see him decked out in Armani. [If he’s there, @MtnRunner I’ll be ordering a pitcher of those Pervy Tombangers, thanking you in advance].

    • TotallyBiased says:

      (Makes note to have glass ready)
      Tbh, I don’t think he’ll be there. He’s been kind of burned by the BAFTAs–and who would he root for? Eddie or BC? Plus we KNOW he’s hecka busy.

      • pixie-stix says:

        Well, darn. Looks like I’ll need that pitcher of Pervy Tom’s to get me to Feb. 22nd. *settles in*

      • TotallyBiased says:

        @pixie–
        Thank GOODNESS BBC3 is running their show that same night, since there won’t be any broadcast of the Q & A. Deliberately planned to calm the hordes of maddened Dragonflys/Hiddlestoners deprived of Their Master’s Voice? 😉

      • rosie says:

        How has he been burned by the BAFTAs ?

      • MtnRunner says:

        Perhaps I should make a growler instead. That pitcher won’t last long.

      • pixie-stix says:

        @TotallyBiased I’ll be planted at the computer that day. The talk he’s giving @ Nuffield Theatre hopefully will provide photo ops if he chats with people afterward? I was hoping the organisers would record/share like Popcorn Taxi did in 2013, but that might be too optimistic. @MtnRunner, I’ve not heard of a growler but I like it already. This is distance event, I’ll take your advice….a growler of Pervy Tombangers it is, cheers. 😉

      • TotallyBiased says:

        @Pixie–there was an announcement from the Nuffield that they hadn’t gotten rights to record or broadcast–which is kind of standard for these one-off support the theatre shows, as a big part of why they are done is for memberships. They didn’t record or broadcast Celia Imrie’s one-woman show that she just did for the same reason as Tom is doing the Q & A.
        It’s also kind of a ‘support *live* theatre’ thing, I think.
        But I do expect lots of tweets after–hope people are classy enough to stay off of their phones during.
        oh, and aren’t growlers a thing for beer in the States?

    • MtnRunner says:

      pixie-stix, you must not be from ‘merica where growlers are jugs that are a bit larger than a pitcher. They usually hold beer, but hey, we’ll have it our way, right? Perhaps two will be better…

      *sends errand boy out to liquor store for secret ingredients*

      TB- are you another one of our UK based d’flies that will keep us in the loop on Nuffield? I presume from your comment’s time-stamp you must be based across the pond. Icerose had plans to attend, but she mentioned recently that she may not get to go. I was hoping she’d be our “ears” at that thing.

      • pixie-stix says:

        @TotallyBiased – Thanks for the info. Well, I guess we have to be satisfied with Twitter and Tumblr reports… and I suspect out-of-focus oddly angled photos while he’s in the theatre (people will try anyway), which get taken down quickly.
        @MtnRunner – I’m originally from the States but lived in Australia most of my adult life. I went to a microbrewery on a recent trip back, it had been ages since I’d been to a brewery. I saw those jugs you mentioned, wondered what they were called.
        Agreed, the way things are looking, two might be the go (take two, they’re small). 😉

  38. Allegra says:

    From@MediaEye
    Andy Serkis, Henry Cavill, Natalie Dormer, Olivia Colman and Tom Hiddleston attend the inaugural @BAFTA Film Gala Dinner on February 5

  39. TotallyBiased says:

    Well, both my informative posts were disappeared. Go Google the boy, stuff is happening!

    • Josa says:

      What kind of stuff besides the Bafta Gala Dinner? I googled, nothing comes up, not even the Bafta event.

    • DahliaDee says:

      @TB, nothing is happening, that pic wasn’t from Thor: Ragnarok, but from Thor: The Dark World, as confirmed by the makeup artist herself, and the rumour that he’d joined the cast of Independence Day 2 is just that: only a rumour, and it was quickly settled.
