This ^^ is one of Tom Hiddleston’s go-to poses on the red carpet. Most of the high-profile male celebrities have their favorite poses, and at nearly every premiere or photocall, you will see Hiddles tilting his body away from the cameras slightly, one arm folded and one hand raised close to his face. It’s his “Thinker Pose.” And I love it.
These are pics from the Berlin photocall for Crimson Peak today. I think there was some need to see Tom’s long legs? So here you go. I’m pretty sure Hiddles is wearing Vans. Also: how is it that when Benedict Cumberbatch wears a denim shirt, I want to rip my hair out because I hate it so much, but when Tom does it, I think he looks really sexy?
After yesterday’s blowout post about Tommy looking for a lady who will remind him of his mom, the leads are sort of spent. Legendary Pictures did release a featurette with Tom talking about ghosts in the hallway. Here you go:
Even though I do enjoy some Hiddles, I have to say… I still won’t be seeing this movie. It is seriously much too scary for me. Even the commercials for it scare me.

LOL…I call it his “showing off my watch” pose. That said, he looks really good. I’m still debating whether or not to see CP because I scare easily and thriller-horror movies tend to freak me out for a long time. We’ll see!
I’m afraid of watching CP because I usually fall asleep with boredom while watching horror movies… 😀
*not kidding..*
I would call it his “showing off my guns” pose, especially when he wears his customary one-size too-small oxford shirts.
I like guns.
Is he wearing some Vans slip ons?? I never thought he’d deigned to wear such provincial foot wear lol
ha I was just about to say, guess who got some “newwww shoooooooes!”
Those seem to be his go to shoes when he isn’t wearing the cowboy boots. At least this time he is wearing black slip ons and not white.
Those white vans needed to go in the incinerator, along with the knitted tie.
Girls back away from Tom. I plan on stealing him 😉
Not if Lilacflowers has anything to do with it!
Ahem, You will not be stealing my husband. However, I do lend him out from time to time so I will add you to the circulating list. He must be returned on time with no marks on him.
Anyone know what Tom looks for in a woman?
Abbott, don’t get me stabby…
lol!
Abbott, I believe he said something about a member of the female persuasion with multiple, doubled consonants in their name – if I understood his response correctly.
Where’s Charlie?
I know, right? I guess he is the middle of shooting another film but still…
I think Sparkles locked him in a basement and he’s posting on message boards as 50sodemon
Totally, I am crushing on Mr. Hunnam lately. His favorite pose is mine, shirtless.
His favorite pose is on top of me.
Charlie is still crying for Fifty Shades of Grey u.u
Just finished hitting it in the shower.
Not sure which country we are in today so Colin has prepared an international buffet for us all. After yesterday’s melee, Mark is strictly enforcing the divide between the meadow and veranda.
@Dara, Matthias has finished repairing the gazebo for you.
I’m here early. For the buffet. And plan on staying the day. So keep the mimosas coming, Colin, dear!
Fassy was transfixed by my Lady Macbeth, and the whisk got a standing ovation. I took the penicillin you kindly sent over, and I will now dispatch him on his way back to Thornfield where he rightly belongs with Jane. Thanks for the lend of him, (airily waves hand).
Ah feel faint just watchin’… (Said in my best Southern belle breathless voice as I sink graciously on the recamier.) Tom darling please come fan me… And Colin, be a dear and give this girl an ice cold lemonade.
Will there be vodka in that lemonade?
He’ll bring the cheesecake to the lanai.
Why Lilacflowers, a lady doesn’t drink before 5:00. I just add the vodka for medical reasons, you understand…
Now darlin’, shouldn’t that be sweet tea (southern pronunciation–SWEETeee)?
And that looks like a chambray shirt, not denim..sez the overly picky poster
I hanging out with the ladies who don’t make a big deal over a word or baseless accusations against me. Yesterday was like Bizarro World and best left in the dust.
Oh nutballs, come over here with me and we will enjoy our tea and scones on this nice settee.
NB, I just checked that thread and I’m glad I missed it, good to see you’re back.
Thank you Boston Green Eyes. I’m gonna start with a stiff one this morning, just in case. Absinthe didn’t quite do the trick last night. Perhaps Everclear will do the trick.
And who recognize out of context quotes when they see them? The fray is exhausting. Put your feet up on the chaise and the massage guy will be with you shortly
Lol, you are so dramatic. All I said is that you changed your tune about an actress. It was you who made a big deal over something that didn’t matter.
Madly, back off. I didn’t change my mind so stop with the ridiculous accusations. If you can’t see that a person can hold both positive and negative impressions at the same time then there’s nothing more to say.
Its clear want to fight, but I’m not going to engage you anymore today. Go troll someone else.
Please take your own advice. From my point of view, it is you who are taking these comments and this board too seriously and are getting worked up over nothing. Changing an opinion isn’t a bad thing. Pointing it out isn’t bad either.
all I pointed out was that your opinion changed, which it did and not it wasn’t holding contradicting thoughts on people. No need to get hostile and juvenile over it. Why does pointing this out bother you so much? That is the part that doesn’t make any sense to me.
What happened yesterday? I must have missed it.
Hi, I’m on your side too. 🙂
2-2 draw. Full Time ladies.
oh lord can we just drop this? It’s going nowhere.
Just went and found it and I must say, NUTBALLS I’m blown away by your ability to do bold text whilst headbanging your own desk!
frisbee, I didn’t know I could do that until both involuntary motions took over simultaneously. It was my WTF! reaction on steroids.
Yesterdays session was certainly lively and interesting but that is the internet. I have always said it is like having conversation with the back door wide open Nutballs you held your ground well.Mind you twitter is the worst,
Thanks icerose. I need to learn to better spot the useless debates and cut them off early. Thankfully, they rarely occur on Tom’s threads.
Are you getting excited about LFF?? You deserve a solid hug from Tom after having to skip out on Nuffield.
Nutballs I remember back in the old days we had some pretty interesting philological /social discussions along side tea parties and the fun stuff which i loved but I do not believe it should get into attacking individuals.It was fun because there was a little
something for everyone
A hug from Tom would be a dream but I will be safely in my seat when he is signing if it is anything like last year
Are my boyfriend’s Fassy and Charles the H attending this swaree’ ??? The little scamps seem to run off everytime I lose the padlock keys! No need to ogle ladies..enough to go around!
Fassy has taken a sudden interest in small kitchen appliances. He’s down in the pantry, playing with the slow cooker and the blender. Perhaps he could prepare something for you?
What?? The Assbender is here too? I’m gonna pop some penicillin before I hunt him down in nothing but my apron.
Just found what happened yesterday, dear Nutballs, you had an exhausting time of it, but your posts are always cogent and well thought out. Enjoy your absinthe, well earned. @lilacflowers, could you ask Fassy if I could have a blended dish of Hiddles and Hardy, with a slow cooked side of Cucumberpatch? Ta muchly.
I have some on hand NB. Frolic away..rofl..the visual..
antipodean, I’m not sure it was worth the frustration of trying to bring some logic to the threads, but thank you. It was sh*t storm and I couldn’t be happier for the boring calm.
Lilac, I was able to sufficiently distract Fassy from his kitchen endeavors by telling him I like my meat bone-in.
@Nutballs, it is worth the effort you put in, and there are many, I am sure, who appreciate and acknowledge your contributions, a voice in the wilderness you might even say. Make sure you leave enough Fassy leftovers for me, and can I borrow some of your penicillin?
*blushes*
antipodean, thank you for your kind words. I’m sending Fassy over to you right now with pills in hand. He’s a little tired from our morning rumpus, but I think he’s about to get second wind. Have fun!
PS: the apron was a hit as well as the spatula, in case you need dress-up ideas.
Fassy usually resides over at Thornfield but he turned up here today in his quest to provide Kate Winslet with kitchen apparatus. Do with him as you will before the Thornfield crew ask for his return.
*soiree
I shall try to revive him as best as I can! Do you think a Lady Macbeth outfit would help him to sit up and take notice? Perhaps I shall also hold a sultry whisk in my red right hand?
Lady Macbeth is a good call methinks. And use whatever apparatus you feel is appropriate for the occasion, my dear.
Attempts to visualize sultry whisk, turns bright red and runs off.
(And I’ll just BET that spatula was a ‘hit’, darlin’ Nutty!)
TB, you know it.
Would I hit it? Once I’d had the requisite amount of pints it would be a physical impossibility, but no pub has that much beer…
He and Cumberbatch look like scary aliens stop posting so many pics of them
same here. would not hit.
you stole my nick name BTW . meme was my nickname. Now I have to take another one because of YOU!!
What are you doing here exactly if you don’t like Tom?
She never fails to show up in Tommy threads to tell us, once again and again and again, that she doesn’t like him. That takes effort man.
For some reason I feel like he’s very aware that wearing blue brings out his eyes.
He is aware of everything that he does.
^ Perfect reply is perfect.
Every men wear blue a lot.
I have 3 brothers, they all wear blue and they don´t have blue eyes.
Would I hit it? Dear God. To steal Bruce Willis’s line from Moonlighting “do bears bear? Do bees bee?”
Of course I’d hit it. Long, drawn out and continuously.
I would most certainly “hit it” but I do think that he’s a bit too casual for the Red Carpet. I mean, he’s not even business casual here!
The Berlin thing was a casual movie night thing. This is from the photocall. He wore something equally casual for the movie showing and Mia wore pants.
I prefer my internet boyfriends in tuxes, though I can pretend that we are curled up at home enjoying some good Netflix.
On one of your loaner nights, of course.
I’m hoping for a tux for the BFI gala
I prefer my internet lovers nekkid.
But I like the business casual look too. He can wear it while we’re at the pub, enjoying fish & chips and a pint of Scottish Ale.
I’m hoping for a return of Tuxedo Tom at LFF as well.
“Tuxedo Tom” just made me lol. Sounds like a cartoon.
Did someone mention Tuxedo Tom?
More superhero alter ego and less cartoon I should think. I’ll have to give some serious thought about which superpowers he possesses…
Yes, let’s think about what superpowers Tom would posses, Dara. I think he should have the power of subjective reality — the ability to manipulate the boundary between fantasy and reality, turning one into the other and blurring the border between them.
I think he could put that to good use… in my bed.
It was a casual:
https://bcfan71.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/tom-hiddleston-at-social-movie-night-crimson-peak-in-berlin-germany/
Such a tall drink of water….and I’m so damn thirsty!
His shirt’s not tight enough, but I think I could muster up the energy to climb that mountain and summit his peak.
I love this
There’s a “crimson peak” pun in there somewhere- but I decided all the ones I could think of were too gross.
Phoebe have you seen what I’ve written here?? Don’t be shy, lady. I like naughty humor… Tom does too.
Casts mind back to “Push harder”, “That’s what they all say”
Let’s all go back in time when Tommy did the wet t-shirt thing for the Ice Bucket Challenge, shall we? Hmm. I think I’ll just lay a bit on my fainting couch for a while…
And flipped the bottom of the wet shirt, momentarily exposing bare abs.
Oh my darlings, you made google for the IBC again…
*fawning, drooling…SIGH*
Seriously he’s always done it for me, esp the Loki era but he’s going beyond that now……almost too hot for me to cope really.
I HATE scary movies but I may see this just for his hotness, then I’ll have nightmares for a month and massively regret it and rewatch Thor over and over
Cornball. But he’s cute.
The movie looks very cliché and not scary at all. Still, I hope it’s good.
This man is so beautiful!
After watching that clip (God I love his voice) I may have to rethink watching this as that thing pulling itself across the hallway floor….no thanks
I would hit it and borrow the shirt afterward. I love denim and I love the “boyfriend” look in jeans and shirts, especially plaid ones, which are quite the rage now if the lineup I was confronted with last weekend in TJ Maxx is any indication of trend. I bought two.
I’d hit that like a house on fire!!! 🔥
I can’t anymore with all these “would you hit it?” questions regarding Tom. I feel like a small yorkie zooming around, panting, while some @£§€ pretends to throw a stick, over and over again. Yes, I want the stick. Stick, please. Stick SO nice. No stick? *whines*
LOL literally
This may be my favorite bit of CB imagery I have ever read.
“Yes, I want the stick. Stick please. Stick so nice.”
You win today. Have some champagne
lololol
This may be my favorite comment EVER on CB, and describes to a nicety exactly how I feel as well at all the rhetorical ‘would you hit it’ posts!
Not going to “hit” it but I wouldn’t mind tying it up and covering it with some sweet concoction that only I could remove. I’m glad the Tommy drought is finally over and he’s back home on CB where he belongs.
🙂
Damn right I would! This promotional tour is reaaaaaally agreeing with him, right?
I believe at this point that question is rhetorical? I’m just shocked that some commenters say they WOULDN’T!
I never wanted to believe my perfect boyfriend was a bit of a narcissist, I suppose all actors are, but the exclusively blue tops (brings out his eyes) and perfect posing tell me he knows what he’s doing. He knows he looks f*^%ing good and knows how to generate the tweets, posts, comments and Tumblr meltdowns.
I suppose that doesn’t have to be narcissism, just awareness of his brand and business savvy.
He knows what the ladies are saying online and he indulges us with popping blue eyes, tight shirts, fingers, chest hairs, thighs. He knows how to work it.
Well take that out and what do you have left? 😉
and here I was, keeping it PG and you put those dirty thoughts in my head!
Well it is much better than watching his mate’s scruffy turn outs last year.
enough of these two. where are CHARLIE HUNNAM and Jessica Chastain?
I think they’re both filming right now.
Jessica is on Mars. Charlie has been kidnapped by Sparkles
It was a rhetorical question. I know where Charlie is…he’s filming Z but I NEED to see some new photos of Mr. Gorgeous.
I keep forgetting she’s promoting multiple films too. The Martian isn’t on my radar… too many cheeseball lines in the trailer to get me excited.
Sicario is the one I’ll be seeing this week.
ETA: just saw a clip from the Germany premier and they said that Jess was filming in Poland. Her IMDB says she’s working on The Zookeeper’s Wife.
Sicario is near the top of my list too – but it looks like a fairly limited release, it’s only in a few theaters in my area, and none conveniently located.
I’m hoping The Martian is good, I do plan on seeing it. It looks like Ridley Scott finally got his groove back.
And it looks like Crimson Peak will actually screen on Thursday evening – the 15th, and in a theater only a few minutes from home. Guess where I’ll be that evening?
I can’t believe it’s finally here – and I’ll be going in relatively spoiler-free, which is an achievement for me.
Dara, I’ll be interested in hearing what some of you ladies think of The Martian. I may end up going to see it despite the cornball lines, if there’s enough positive feedback.
I won’t see CP until Saturday the 17th since that’s the earliest we can get a sitter. I’m getting very excited about it!
Not sure why CB doesn’t cover those two more. I have yet to see a Crimson Peak post with all 4 actors mentioned and not just Tommy and/or Mia.
I think it’s all about who’s available for promotion–each post has been about a different screening and/or photo call, and Kaiser includes whomever is there with Tom.
Charlie hasn’t done any CP promo. Jessica did the SDCC stuff and some stuff in NY after TIFF but none of that, other than the Twitter thing has shown up anywhere yet
I would have thought Jim Beaver, Burn Gorman and Doug Jones would be getting more mention by the Universal/Legendary PR machine as well. They may have limited screen time, but they all have pretty hardcore fanbases which would drive more word of mouth if nothing else. Folks in Hall H might have flipped out even more if all of them had appeared at SDCC alongside GdT, Tom, Mia and Jessica.
I’m seeing The Martian tomorrow night. Hope to see Sicario this weekend. There will be an October 15 early screening of CP but I have a conflict so going on the Friday
I’m seeing these pretty soon myself 🙂
He’s very handsome but don’t like this pose, it’s too posey. And prefer him in a suit.
It could be an “I don’t know what else to do with my hands, except put them in my pockets” pose.
And no sniggers please.
Too late. 🙂
Short video of Tom and Mia promoting in Germany:

It does do nice things for his eyes but I also seem to see a receding hairline . . . do my eyes deceive me?
That’s a question for the ages, and I honestly can’t decide. I was looking at some photos from a few years ago and his hairline looked very similar, maybe even a little worse. A lot depends on length, style and how much product he has in it. I do think there has been a slow march upward for the last few years, but it’s not as dramatic as some photos show.
I’m hoping after a minor strategic retreat, the hairline holds around the DDL or Sting territory.
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3062619/daniel-day-lewis-returns-to-hollywood-as-oscars-2014-presenter-01/
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3468200/anne-hathaway-robert-de-niro-the-intern-premiere-31/
I’m just not sure Tom’s skull has the right shape to pull off a full chrome-dome, like Mark Strong or Corey Stoll – both of whom I think actually look better without hair.
He had the same hairline 10 years ago in ‘ Victoria Cross Heroes’ : http://asset-1.soupcdn.com/asset/6728/8193_1139.gif
So, NO.
Eh, with what his hair has been through with dyeing and wigs, given that it’s not terribly thick, he’s probably lucky it’s still there. Maybe it’s the orange tan line not going all the way up. I wish he’d stop that.
As was said on the last thread, many of the photos from outside in Paris had no “tan line” showing at all and it wasn’t there at TIFF http://yinye26.tumblr.com/post/130151427276/so-yesterday-i-took-a-selfie-woth-tom-hiddleston
I do sometimes think it’s a combination of the lighting and how some photographers “process” their photos before uploading them too. Pool photographers at events like these are on a deadline, they have to process and upload a lot of photos in a short amount of time and most probably run their photos through preset adjustments/filters in their software.
If they are trying to compensate for extreme lighting conditions (lots of flashes or evening events) their normal filters may not work very well, but they don’t have time to fuss around too much – hence the occasional orange cast, a more prominent “tan line” at his hairline, and why sometimes his scars and freckles are more visible than at other times. Just a thought.
His hair used to be quite thick – some of the early theatre-related interviews mention it being very thick and unruly. That it has thinned out so much is either down to the continual straightening and dieing or a hairdresser determined to make it manageable by thinning it out.
Mama like.
He can Shakes his Speare at me any time.
He and Cumberbatch are different types. They have different faces and different bodies. Of course they look good in different things.
The difference is that Cumberbatch wears the SAME chambray shirt allllll the time. Tom wears blue all the time but he mixes it up, so I’ll allow a little chambray/denim sprinkled here and there for Thomas.
Tom, Mia, and GDT are doing another Twitter Q&A tomorrow. This one is for IMDB
The last one was disappointing. I’ll wait and get the highlights.
I wonder if/how any of them remember which country they are in.
An “If it’s Tuesday, this must be Belgium” tour group sort of haze must take over at some point. He probably gets confused over which project he’s pushing at any given time too. Three movies premiering or releasing at once; the UN Global Goals project, for which he is a spokesman; the NTLive Coriolanus rebroadcast with the new app; and the BBC advertising TNM. He has just another two and a half weeks of this before he disappears again into the monkey movie.
Think the jungle will feel like a rest after that!
Free Crimson Peak screening in San Francisco tomorrow night.
https://twitter.com/batsday/status/649273455377039360
I would so be there if only it weren’t first come, first served. Would be fun to see the SF denizens in steampunk attire.
Starting to already get Tommy fatigued. All his photos and interviews are starting to blend together. Thank goodness this movie opens soon and the others are more limited in release.
You aren’t forced to lurk you know.
I know. No reason to be rude, just making a comment of which I am allowed to do.
I wasn’t being rude, just making an observation, which I am allowed to do.
I think once you get to see any of the three upcoming films, it might help. It is tiring to hear about the work and never getting to see it. I was lucky and saw two. If you need a Tommy break, totally get it. Promoting 3 films at once can feel very in your face and things do blur together.
@jammy, I think that might be it. I am on the fence for seeing Crimson Peak just because it might be too scary for me.
Thanks for your kind reply!
Would I hit it… Yes, of course! But only if he wanted me to. 😉
Thursday tomorrow. Where is the tour heading for next I wonder?
In the last three weeks, Tom has been in: Toronto, New York, San Sebastian, London, Rome, Paris, and Berlin. Those frequent flier miles are piling up.
Any guesses to where he’ll pop up next? He’s scheduled for the LFF gala but that isn’t until October 9, more than a week from now. Then just another week before he disappears into the jungle for the monkey movie.
no but i have heard there is no USA release for High Rise scheduled-any one hear anything differene
He’s popped up in London by the BBC2 studios. Great pics. Not sure why he’s there, followed by Luke.
…and looks like Olly trailing behind them too. Three amigos. lol
