You would think that with those two giant suitcases, Tom Hiddleston would have more than two go-to ensembles for traveling. He does not. These are photos of TWHiddles at LAX on Wednesday. He flew into LA from Australia, where he’s been since August 2/3. Go back and look at those photos of Tom flying out of LAX on August 2 – he was wearing the exact same outfit then as he is in these photos. Bruh! GET SOME NEW CLOTHES.
Does anyone else think Tom looks somewhat agitated and worried in these photos? It’s not a “crap, I’m being swarmed by paparazzi” agitation either. It feels different. My initial thought was a particularly bad one. We’ve been saying for two months now that Tom is the one who needed space from Taylor Swift, that she’s a Stage-5 Clinger, that she’s the crazy one. But what if she was the one who was like, “I’m not coming to Australia, I’ve got sh-t to do”? What if he called her and was like, “I’m flying in on Wednesday, will you meet me, I miss you”? And what if she was like, “I’m busy and I’m staying in New York for now, we’ll talk in a few days”? Wouldn’t that be a kick in the teeth? Like, Tom thought Taylor was sending her car and driver for him and no one came and that’s why Tom looks anxious.
Hilariously, X17 suggests that Tom’s anxious look is because Robert Downey Jr. brilliantly burned him with a single Instagram. That could be it too. They’re all gonna laugh at you, Hiddles!
But really, Tom is in LA to do some press and some Emmy campaigning for The Night Manager. He’s sitting down with the LAT today (I looked at this #askLATimes hashtag and it was full of Dragonflies).

He looks better than I would after getting off a 16 hour flight. And the video of him getting in the car with all those cameras going off is crazy. It’s just a guy coming out of an airport and getting in a car but we need to take hundreds of pictures of it.
It is unbearably hot and sticky here this morning and it is going to get worse throughout the day. I’m planning on being cranky. I haven’t been cranky in a while. Today is the day to be cranky. And I have a wake to attend. Cranky until wake and then cranky after wake.
Even in the nice seats it’s a long flight and a seven hour time difference. 8am LA is 1am Brisbane.
Pfft… I did Sydney to London with 1 hr refuel in Dubai last year. Twenty three hours in a plane seat thank you very much! The jet lag was epic!!
Yeah squirrel, I just moved back to the States from China, and it’s been fun! Sleeping pills are awesome.
Its 17 (seven TEEN) hours time difference. Brisbane is ahead of LA.
I used to live in Brisbane and commute back to Canada… it was wicked. The worst jet lag I ever had.
Yeah, I’m incredibly anxious and irritable whenever I have to fly. And my longest flight was like 3 hours maybe? And I don’t have people following me around.
Hopefully the weather improves for you Lilac. I’m freezing in the office right now … I’ve actually woken up cold the last couple of nights, but it’s a slippery slope with blankets. It’s only been around 62F at night lately. I fear we’ve already gotten our two weeks of summer in Nova Scotia haha. But I can’t complain too much because last summer was SO humid. I just felt angry and sick all the time.
Ah! To be in Nova Scotia right now. But does it ever warm up enough to go in the water?
Wish you’d send some of that cool weather to TO… I’ve had the AC on constantly for two weeks and going outside is downright unpleasant. I have officially decided I hate summer, which is such an anti-Canadian thing to say, but to he*l with the humidity and 40C in the shade! I want snow, or rain, or fog:-)
Haha – are you brave? I LIVED at the beach when I was a kid. The cold didn’t bother me then – but I definitely remember having numb legs a lot of days from the cold. If I take about a 20-30 minute drive out into Kemptville we have a ton of woods and lakes where people tend to have camps/cottages. It was my nieces first birthday about 3 weeks ago, and I was wearing SPF 60 and still managed a burn within an hour – inland it’s can get up to 40C some days… so like 104F.
I’m a beach girl though – I live about a 5 minute drive from one – but it’s on the cold side most days. There is however a beach in the next county that we went to last month – the sand was really light – and I literally walked straight out into the water. It was ridiculous. For whatever reason, that beach is really shallow for quite a ways out – and the water gets to a cool bath water temperature.
If you’re bored – google Carters Beach NS – it’s between 1.5 and 2 hours from me – it’s weirdly tropical looking for Nova Scotia… and it’s gorgeous. Probably the nicest beach in NS – and likely in the nicer group for the country.
Vauvert – I’m pretty sure we could classify fog as a season over here ;). I kind of hate summer most summers too – I’m all about Spring and Fall – and even nostalgic for Winter on occasion. I’m way too pale to love summer.
I grew up in Alaska and we wore shorts when it was above 40F and swam in the lakes when it was at least 68F. Your reference point changes when you live in a cold climate!
And he was probably just harassed by CBP officers as they do. LAX is such a high stress environment.
Come to England, you get every season in one day!
I hope you are soon feeling better lilacflowers and things improve for you.
I hate to be all Scottish exceptionalist @Spidey… but up here we can do four seasons in merely one hour and, occasionally, differing ones on the opposite sides of the same road (Auchterarder High Street circa 1981). 😆
Dippit, I can believe it. And you get the midges too!
What the f**k are midges?
I’d love to come England if they’d let me in with my potty mouth.
😉
Maybe his paper knickers were chafing after the long flight.
Or maybe its hard to look nonchalant when the paps are about, so he goes for the stern, lips pursed, manly glare.
Ha ha!
Ugh, he makes my skin crawl, I’m afraid. And will he PLEASE stop doing those try hard posey photos (not the pap ones, the offical ones)?!! Meh.
The heat wave is kicking in and I haven’t had coffee. I want the world to go away. Btw, I have noticed that Hiddles has a very pronounced resting bitch face. He needs new clothes. Where did people ever get the idea that he has style?
Iced beverages today. Nothing but ice. Which I will probably pour over myself at some point. I just want to spend the whole day in the shower.
May I ask where you live? Just wondering how hot the weather is…being nosy!
We’re both in greater Boston where it is supposed to be 95+ degrees fahrenheit today. It is also oppressively humid. It is only 79 now but the air is wet. I’m soaking wet. Everything is wet.
Cosigning — I’m out past 495 in the suburbs; we’re already roasting & it’s going to be like this for the next 4 days. I’m planning to be a cave dweller with blinds and shades drawn. I give Hiddleston a total pass on this one — probably just tired & cranky after a l-o-n-g flight. I would be.
I almost brought the air conditioner back up to the attic. Hahahaha, silly me…..
But… But… But… It is freezing here my part of the world. Minus three degrees Celsius expected tonight. A good hostess should cater for all of her guests. I just want a little hot Tommy, I mean hot toddy!!
It’s been a long,hot summer here in Charlottesville.Virginia-I think we’ve had 23 days of high temperatures above 90 degrees fahrenheit and 19 days were consecutive-the heat is one thing the humidity is another. I grew up in Charleston,SC and I know humidity! I visited Boston two years ago and it was during that really hot heat wave where it was hotter there than here and all the period reenacters,hotel staff,etc. kept saying “This heat is very unusual for New England” despite the heat it was one of the best family trips we ever had. Hang in there!
I hate to brag, but we’ve got just about perfect weather in London right now. Hot, but not too hot, with a nice breeze. And I can work sitting in a deck chair watching the Olympics on a public big screen. 😜
No Secret squirrel, you meant what you said first time 🙂
Sound like you need a trip to the high desert. High of 80 and 38% humidity here.
103 in SE Texas with heat index of 110. Been hot since May with A/C running non stop.
Too bloody hot. 🙂
In the last fifteen minutes, I told a TV news crew to get the F out of my way and told a guy on the train, that yes, we do mind if he farts . Cranky am I.
Ah, don’t read my comment above then!
I’ll drink whatever you throw at me!
Sending Hot Tommy with a hot toddy.
hahahaha–how did they guy on the train react? 💩 I’ve been getting poop emojis all night from the angry Birdices, furious I went to a destination wedding and left them behind.
We are getting ready for a week if 100+ here in Norcal, but thank the Lord I don’t live in Vegas anymore, the lows are in the 80s! Yikes! Hang in there everyone and try to stay cool 👍
Stinky farting train guy acted offended and tried to tell me it wasn’t him. Three of us shouted simultaneously that we could HEAR him. The woman next to me was holding her nose.
Lilacflowers, you are so brave! You never know how stinky fart men will respond.
I’m sorry everyone’s melting out there, but the people who have it the worst are those who have to suffer the indignity of stinky fart men on public transportation and having to touch ass-to-crotch-to-hips with adjacent strangers on the train and having to wait for the train on an underground platform that’s about 10 degrees hotter and more humid than it is above ground. Woe is us!
Yahoo (Australia) has an article today saying Taylor’s squad are starting to unfollow Tom. Could either be a sign things aren’t rosy or it could be that Tay has told them they want more privacy moving forward so no following him.
Also it is Chris Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday today. Happy Birthday Thor!! Bet Tom is bummed not to be in Oz for the party!
I think he looks just like he always does. I’m not a fan, so I don’t follow him closely, but really – doesn’t he always look like that?
It’s his usual pap face now, unless they’ve been called in advance.
He just looks jet-lagged to me.
His body looks chisled-and i don’t care what he is wearing. Maybe Tom is frugal and dresses for comfort . Tiddles looks sexier without TS clinging on him.
Lauren II – I think the chisled is the reason for the lack of clothes. He’s been working out more and his old stuff doesn’t fit. If only he had a sugar mama to take care of it all.
@GREENMONSTER that’s my same thought exactly. The pictures look exactly the same.
He looks the same as always to me, too.
Does he always look so…orange?? Like his foundation is 2 shades off from his neck. IDK, I don’t follow him enough to care about his clothing but is it really a big deal that he’s wearing the same thing?
I’m coming to the conclusion that he just doesn’t bother with sun cream and his forehead (and face) burns easily
I’ve come to that conclusion too spidey. I’m afraid we’re going to have to try an intervention like the republicans tried with Trump. We’ll grab him, hold him down and rub sunscreen all over his face and perhaps other places. Just in case.
Cranberry, I could warm to that idea. 😆
It looks a B horror movie promo when this one and the TS one are next to each other on the home page. TS is looking at us like she’s going to eat him and we all know it lol
Dude get some new shoes and burn those ones immediately. Seriously, enough already.
Calm down ladies, maybe he just desperately anxiously need to poop. Y’all know how it is.
There is a hint of buttock clenching desperation about the pics, so you could be right about him needing the lav.
But as others have pointed out, that is his default pap face these days,
Buttock clenching! I die.
He can clench my buttocks any time.
I am a mental child because I read this on the train ride to work this morning and could not stop giggling for five minutes.
I keep smirking, love the poop reference!
Yes the airport on/airport off face.
I am sure a pap event of TAYTO proportions is coming within the next 24 hours.
She must smug face and soon.
Of course it is. Today.
I thought she always had the smug face…
I assume we’ll be getting a major, carefully staged dinner pap walk tonight. Her PR staff has been coaching LEGS the last 24 hours on how to properly open a restaurant door.
Some actors where the same clothes all the time so rags can’t use the pictures or something. ..Russel Crowe does it. Not sure of th logic there but maybe that’s the thought process…
That’s what I always assumed with his workout clothes. To explain: if paparazzi catch a star in a certain outfit, they sell the pictures that day. If the stars wears the same clothes the next day (or in the same setting a few days later, like these airport pics), it doesn’t look like a separate outing/new exclusive; it looks like more from the same batch that were already sold. So the value goes down.
But I’m not sure how that holds up these days, with gossip watchers aware of the specific date of each photo series.
I was gonna post the same thing. Daniel Radcliffe did this during his run on Broadway so the paps wouldn’t swarm the stage door every night. Made the photos worthless because they all looked the same.
Maybe he’s struggling under the weight of all that “authenticity” he’s “committed” to.
LOL
Touché.
Ahh, so you caught that too.
*stroking imaginary goat-tee with long, sinister-y fingers.
lol that image in my head
AIRPORT PICTURES ARE BORING.
That is all.
Very boring. Guy comes through arrival gate. Guy has suitcases. Guy gets in car. We don’t need pictures.
It’s like anti-Tiddlesbanging.
The least today could bring would be PROPER Tiddlesbanging. Mr Sixer Senior, who is my hero, has taken all the children off my hands with the promise of a summer afternoon BBQ. I think that’s above and beyond the call of duty.
I am FREE! So where the bloody hell is my Tiddlesbanging?
Mr Sixer Senior wins Star of the Day
Sixer, that’s true love for ya, right there.
Actions speak louder than fake tatoos.
That’s the 79-year-old father, bonzo, not the husband! Even betterer right?
Also, I might add, what with being an ex-Britisher squaddie an’ all, the husband has tattoos galore. None with women’s names on or hearts, however, thank the lord. If Mr Sixer ever wore an I Heart Sixer t-shirt, it would be divorce.
So I guess Mr Sixer Senior is feeling better then and all healed up?
It’s true love no matter where it comes from… 🙂
My Mister is tat-less, but boy can he be a sappy fella. If he did have tats I’m afraid he’d come within a hair’s breadth of an I Heart Bonzo one. But he does shoo me out the door to have some “me” time when he sees my kidlet cup is filled to the brim. Happy wife, happy life, right?
He is! He is now back in the allotment (this is also a relief to me) and has become a vociferous Corbynista (Corbyn is our Bernie Sanders). His becoming a Corbynista is highly amusing because we do not live in an area where socialism is popular. So he gets to argue with all his old fogey mates and feel like the virtuous one. Perhaps that’s why he took all the tweens off my hands!
I think Mr Sixer would quite like to be sappy but he knows I would laugh him out of town if he tried it, so he just joins in the pretend insults – which is how I like it. Same thing really: happy wife, happy life.
Hehe @Sixer at images of Mr Sixer Senior sitting with his mates on upturned buckets down the allotments debating the finer points of JC’s leadership.
Do they smoke pipes and sneak cider from jam jars?
I think the political arguments happen when they all go to buy their morning papers from the local shop. There’s a little buzz of them outside (by the village noticeboard) for AGES.
At the allotments, they all seem to get along. A lot of egg-swapping goes on.
Teehee Sixer – has the local newsagent started stocking “The Morning Star” next to “The Torygraph”?
I think the shop owner’s head would explode if he asked for the Morning Star! She is a rabid Kipper. He buys the Grauniad and moans about it!
Sixer, would you like him dancing round the airport like a Hare Krishna? Robes, tambourine the works.
YES. I would.
Or um… holding up a sign saying “Where are you, my Taylor? Beloved of all beloveds”. Or something similar.
Or dressed as a giant choux swan
Just my excuse to post the following classic scene:
https://youtu.be/f4CizzE-zZo
LEGS goes rogue in Becky’s world! And edible in Lilac’s.
It’s the least he could do, really.
I would LOVE to see him do that!
Sixer, he is being boring/normal just to irritate you – he has obviously been made aware of you! 🙂
He should be scared of me, spidey. I have ball gags.
@Sixer, I suspect he quite enjoys ball gags
I’ll warn him ” Be afraid, very afraid Sixer is about to pounce on you.” But I’ll give you a five minute start.
I was hoping she’d be waiting for him at the airport with balloons and “Missed you, my Prince!” cardboard sign, running to his outstretched arms for a long and public embrace.
They let me down.
Lilac – well, you know what they say about public schoolboys. They like a bit of dom.
Spidey – he wouldn’t even see me coming.
Bonzo – oh yes! Because she’s a cross between a sugar mummy and a chauffeur, what with all the cars. And because she is also a tween idol, the usual sign should be glittery.
Sixer you are so demanding! I’m developing a complex. I’ll never be able to please you.
*runs off crying into the bedroom and slams door.
I think its a lot of things – he’s going to be doing PR and he’ll get asked about his ‘authentic’ relationship with Swift and considering that its generally being mocked on both sides of the Atlantic am sure he’ll be wondering how its affecting his image and how the industry (casting directors) now view him.
His super thirst for fame is going to bite him on the ass!
I doubt if dating the most hated celeb right now is a boost. I would imagine Hugh Laurie would be another one to mock Tom for fun
Expect more mockery at the Emmy night about that T-shirt
I’m expecting someone to bring up RDJ’s tweet during one of the interviews. I’m curious as to how he’ll respond. Laugh it off or act a little miffed?
I expect it too – his response will have been the subject of a dedicated brainstorming session with his/Swift’s (interchangeable, now) PR.
Off the top of my head: “The t-shirt was for the love of my world, Stark is, of course, the love of my Universe”. OR somesuch.
I still think Taylor is a star 5 clinger. I doubt she changed her spots that badly. I’m more inclined to believe it’s because RDJ ruthlessly burned him on IG and everyone on set is probably side eyeing him like he lost what sense he had left
RDJ posted a second IG of Tony Stark in a I Love Loki shirt. Musta felt bad.
I thought RDJ’s take was funny, and don’t know what else TH expected.
Wearing the personalized wife-beater at the big July party had to be some type of ‘look how casual and unaffected I am’ move.
“Musta felt bad” OR was told to feel bad? Either way, as everyone knows, the ‘retraction’ never lands as well in the public consciousness as the original piece.
Still, poor show of Tom not to have been quick witted with a humorous response.
I’m sure Tom is having a laugh over the RDJ posts. He is probably just thrilled Robert is taking notice of him again after unfollowing Tom on Twitter just a few months after The Avenger wrapped.
Aww did he really unfollow him Secret ? I don’t know why but that makes me feel sad for Tommy boy.
lol I doubt he felt that bad. I figured someone was going to take a shot at tom for the shenanigans I just didn’t know who it would be.
LOL @ RDJ’s Instagram. It’s all in good fun. I doubt there are any bad feelings from anyone except for those who want to find an insult.
““Musta felt bad” OR was told to feel bad?”
@Dippit
Puh-lease. Who’s going to tell RDJ how to feel? This is the guy who walked out of a BBC promo interview on camera last year cause the journalist pissed him off. If he posted I heart Loki on IG, then dammit, RDJ loves Loki ! And you can ship it!
🙂
Have you seen RDJ’s twitter avatar? Do you sincerely think he takes silly outfits as seriously as the rest of the internet, enough to merit a “burn”?
Also, for one thing, Mark Ruffallo didn’t look like he was doing much of a side eye over at his Instagram.
That’s a good point. RDJ plays the fool all the time himself.
Also, I don’t think he would have done this if he didn’t think Tom could take it in stride and good humor. RDJ is the elder statesman of the Marvel movie family, a true believer in the Marvel universe (it resuscitated his left-for-dead career), and he has an interest in promoting, not demoting, his fellow co-stars. People like to talk about Tom as the dancing bear company man, but actually, RDJ is the biggest company man of them all. The richest, too.
Wooha there now, let’s not get too reasonable here. lol
IKR. He likes to fly his freak flag high in the air cause he just don’t care.
@popup
I’ve always suspected that Tom took some cues directly from RDJ for his S Korea premier antics. There’s documented footage of RDJ being pretty cringe worthy on his Korea/China world promotional tours. He obviously wants to please the crowds too and is NOT concerned with his image. RDJ is absolutely the Biggest Company-man at Marvel and perhaps the world. No joke, the man can really ham it up.
With the way they have gotten on in interviews and how Tom speaks of him, I think Tom immensely admires and took his cues from RDJ on how to make yourself indispensable to the studio franchise system. – And ya know what, It worked!
Tom went from being an unknown actor playing a very little known, lower level comic book villain to the second most popular actor and character in Marvel. He’s pretty much on par with or even surpassing some of the most established and beloved characters with exception of IM/RDJ. I’m not so sure the tri-hard mockers know what really works at this end of the pool.
Perhaps he is just getting over-tired and is a bit cranky.
I’d say. The flight from Sydney to LA is 16 hours, AND there’s a 17 hour time difference.
Maybe he’s sad because a pap from every photo agency EXCEPT his favorite showed up at the airport?
“Luis at CelebXPhoto LLC is the only one who captures my good side! He was there for me on so many walks and now he is nowhere to be seen! This is a disaster!”
So hot here today also, in PA. already 77 and it is just going to keep climbing. the humidity is awful.
If you were Tom’s PR team, what do you suggest his next moves be? I would have him share one dinner date with Taylor in LA, maybe a second, with no pda except holding hands. I would have him laugh off the tshirt as a dare or joke of some kind. Just having a bit of fun. When he returns to filming, he would go alone.
I think a trip to the Zoo would be in order, PDA’s all the way, feeding each other ice cream, heads thrown back laughing. Then on to the park to play on the swings, manly TH pushing Taytay as she squeals with joy.
Afterwards dinner, Taylor looking coy and pretty in a nice frock. As hunky Tom takes charge holding her hand and negotiating a restaurant door at the same time, challenging for a mere mortal, but no big deal for Tommy.
Disastrous PR for him, but deep joy for Celebitches, waiting with bated breath for the next car crash cringefest of cheese.
Shelly read my thoughts.
Yeah, it’s been pretty boring lately, we need more cringe from these two.
There’s snakes at the zoo right?
Never had the hots for him but last night I dreamt of Tom being interested in me. I blame you Taylor Swift and Celebitchy! But ok, I’ll do him once.
lol
A mercy shag?
Missionary Position only, then?
Has he responded to RDJ yet? If not, that’s been his permanent constipated expression for the last 36hrs as he’s tried to come up with an amusing retort. Not exactly quick witted if he hasn’t returned fire yet.
Lol, I can just imagine him sitting on the plane, annoyed, can’t stop checking his phone despite the lack of reception, like a soliloquy titled: sulk, sleep, still no witty comeback.
Poor Tommy can’t win can him? Can’t even date *quietly* without the whole world enjoying his two penny opera. You’re probably right: the boy is many things, quick witted isn’t it. Room for improvement, he hasn’t quite grasped the art of being succinct yet.
T-shirt gate just isn’t going away is it ?
Surely that won’t be the defining moment of his career. Frolicking in the surf wearing a questionable T-shirt appears to have heaped fire and brimstone on him.
The poor lad.
Grace how about: Fester, fume, I’m going to my room.
*Slams door, and turns the Smiths up loud on his ipod*
When this will end ( and it surely will at some point) his name will be forever linked with TS because internet remembers everything and forever. Even now I don´t like that pics of Taylor are posted with obligatory TH´s hashtags and vice versa Tom´s pics with TS hashtags 🙁
Either this is the greatest love of the universe and will last forever or Tom´s PR should start to hire people who will erase any kind of links and connections between those two for the rest of their lives and longer. Or they could use the Men in Black equipment and format the memories of us all, I will gladly wait in the line 😉
If they end up together, will he be like James Brolin who people barely remember is married to Barbra Streisand or end up like Nick Cannon?
Well, people did forget Jake Gyllenhaal, but he didn’t get caught with an I heart TS tank top on IG.
I’ve just remembered RDJ walking out of the interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
So LEGS could wear an I Heart KGM t-shirt? Would he dare to be that mean?
If he did THAT Sixer, I could find just one last nerve in me TH (and the ‘relationship’) hasn’t quite yet stretched to breaking.
However, his lack of response has taken too long. Now it can’t look off-the-cuff whatever.
C’est vrai. These things only work if the rejoinder is quick fire. So poor old LEGS has missed his moment.
Oh Lordy Sixer – as @PopUp just said above “RDJ is the ultimate Company Man”… so much so that can we expect a hastily arranged LA stunt with them both sharing space in mutual “I 💜… ” t-shirts? OR instead of the speculated Tom-Taylor with Benedict-Sophie double date, it’s Tom-Taylor with RDJ-Susan double date?
That would be fabulous, would it not? Also, I have another fantasy on the Prince Harry thread. This is that Taylor is just practising with LEGS for her aristo-boyfriend ambitions vis a vis Harry.
THEN, RDJ can upset all the Britisher royalists by wearing non-deferential Harry t-shirts?
I’m not sure “fabulous” is the word I would use… but it would certainly be a “something”.
Jane Arthy handles Muse and a few other acts right? I wonder if she ever complained to Tom about how crazy music talent can be. He didn’t hear her obviously. I just wonder.
He should have stuck with JArthy…. They were perfect for each other.
They were. I so long for the return of JArthy.
This can happen after Tiddles goes the way of all flesh and Taylor starts going out with Prince Harry.
I miss her too. She’s always been my back up ship if I couldn’t have Hayley Atwell and Hiddles. I actually didn’t mind Lizzy Olsen either. I know she is the same age as Swiftie, but it seemed different. I suppose it’s because it lacked the paps. I am pretty sure that one pap’d outing killed that relationship, though.
Bring back JArthy, Hiddles, so everyone can talk about whether he’s with his sister or her, when they go to some fancy island. 🙂
You know I love The JArthy for her fan-trolling way and shit-eating grin in that BB snap, but we wouldn’t have to humor that we have with a Domineering Pop Princess.
Once this relationship self-implodes I want to see Tom with Gaga, RiRi or in keeping with his recent past — stealing Katy P away from Orlando. I think any of those pairing with THiddy would be fun to watch.
Weirdly, I think Tom and Katy Perry might work. The drama that would cause among the Swiftards would be outrageous, though.
Hence why it would be so DELICIOUS, Abby_J. Hooking up with someone she’s got bad blood with? This would be my dream!
Now that Tom’s gotten a taste of what it’s like to hang with the popular kids, he’s not going to date anyone less famous than him again, methinks.
I vote for Katy Perry hook up. Not really for all the drama but because it would finally make some sense. I love the thoughts of Tommy getting ‘Authentically Banged’ all night long by someone with a rock’n bod and knows what to do with it. hehehe
My other backup is Kat Dennings for the same reason and cause I think they already got there once before. Plus they looked so cute holding hands. Apparently she’s single again, crossing fingers.
While we’re talking about post-TayTay gf ideas, I keep coming back to Michelle Williams? She’s no fameho’ and I see a “grounding” influence on him and I just like the idea of them as a couple. Maybe because she likes doing artsy films like he does. Am I mad??
I like him and Atwell too, but it wonder if it might be too much personality and attention grabbing for the screen.
@Bonzo
Agreed that Atwell is also thirsty, but compared to Taylor Swift, she’d probably seem rather reserved.
With Agent Carter over and her new show looking HORRIBLE (at least to me), she’s gonna be looking for new things to do. Why not Tom? 🙂
Come on Hayley and Tom. Make my dreams come true.
Wouldn’t try to read too much into it. He is an actor after all. However he should have known that everyone will be making fun of him. He should have thought about it before going into the sea with that t-shirt or worked really hard for the camera on the rocks by the sea.
That t-shirt has come back to haunt him. I suspect he wasn’t given a choice about his July 4th attire, though. I bet she handed that shirt to him and said, “You’re wearing this.” 😂
In one of the Polaroids from that day IG’d by the squad, he was wearing a different shirt and rolled up the sleeve so the temp tattoo showed. I wonder if he changed shirts to keep from having the tattoo get damaged, which of course it did anyway in the ocean, along with his dignity.
@Runs: I think you’re absolutely right. Tom’s Marvel family is NEVER going to live that down, and justifiably so.
I don’t think there’s any way in not humid HELL here on earth that TS is going to let him go until she has another victim lined up. She looked smug AF on her NYC pap walk yesterday.
I am beginning to think there’s something wrong with that girl.
@MI6 You’re just BEGINNING to think there’s something wrong with her, LOL! Stage 5 Clinger doesn’t even begin to cover it…I think we have to invent an entirely new pathology for Tay-Tay
Agreed, MI6. The boa constrictor isn’t about to let go and there’s no escape for him in the foreseeable future.
Maybe that’s why his expression seemed agitated at the airport – he was afraid she might spring out from behind a baggage carousel and wrap her flailing limbs around him, shrieking, “I’m never letting you go anywhere without me again!”
The horror…
“I am beginning to think there’s something wrong with that girl.”
Yup. If I may quote Vicki Lawrence, she’s got splinters in the windmills of her mind.
I could totally go with the idea this is all Tom chasing , I don’t know I love me some Hiddles, but this just rings so true to me ! Taylor is known to be so image controlling, and possibly wanting to rid herself of the stage 5 clinger label, she takes it the other way, and plays hard to get… Or, all along the whole Hiddleswift era was just to make sure no one suggested she was pining after CH.
Either way these two, and their shanigans bring joy to my work day , as do reading through the #famewhoretom hashtag on Twitter, and seeing people lose their minds, or tumblr with their marvel contacts , and the PhD girl stories …
TS is a CLAMPpyre
She clamps on to something and does not let go until it has been bled dry. However I think Tom enjoys the attention. His facial expressions can take on the smuggly look too.
🙂
I don’t get the much hupla about The T shirt. Some actors are parading naked like a shameless hoe, people don’t bat an eye. And this actor wore a T shirt saying I heart TS is bad? How?
Has people’s morality gone south or something?
I’ve been saying that for a while. For the first time in ages a guy has some time off and enjoys it doing something daft. End of the world/ his career. If someone’s career gets ended over something like this then the profession is even shallower than I thought.
Though the PAP posing did get a bit much.
looks like it is. 🙁
According to some Tom’s career is always on the brink of collapse and everything he does is just going to push him down so far that no studio will ever hire him again. All others get a pass. It can be quite hilarious.
I think the fans reactions to this is almost the best bit! I don’t mean normal fans, but the die hard stans to read their reactions to this whole thing is as if he, and Johnny Depp have swapped places! In fact Johnny Depp has had less backlash than Tom
@Lucysadly true. People are really weired
@Lilacflowers 😀
I think a few people batted an eye, it was poking them in it, beside Orlando Bland is not Tom Hiddleston is he? Even Tom threw some vague shade his way in a his Muse of Fire interview way back.
None of this will cause a collapse in his career but his media reputation has undoubtedly shifted. He was mostly intelligent, respected actor who did not take himself so seriously that he couldn’t be silly. At the moment his leading title is boyfriend of Taylor Swift peppered with snippets of his career highlights. If he keeps a good focus on his work and appears less and less in the press holding hands etc. there will be slow down on the interest, they could become a rather boring couple. I think it depends on how much media attention they actually want.
Is it immoral to go paddle boarding with no clothes on? Is it immoral to wear a tween t-shirt when you are in your mid-30s?
If either of those things are immoral, my moral compass needs a reset.
Is it mocking-worthy to go paddle boarding with no clothes on? Is it mocking-worthy to wear a tween t-shirt when you are in your mid-30s?
If anyone can make an argument that either of these things are not mocking-worthy, I’ll give them a gold star. Because both of these things are clearly bloody hilarious.
I would argue that paddle boarding with no clothes on is hilarious in a saucy, racy, ballsy sort of way and based on the uncensored photos, doesn’t quite qualify for mickey-taking. I was laughing *with* Orlando, not at him.
Tween T-shirt was begging for a full-on piss-taking and the mocking was definitely AT him. Dignity dropped several notches.
I would concur. Although I can understand why Orly’s swinging trousersnake might be more of a dignity-grabber to some.
I just can’t imagine where morality comes into it?
It really depends on a particular society’s acceptable morals as to whether it’s gone south, is it not?
I didn’t think Orly’s plonker-swinging was undignified and I high-fived him through my computer screen for having the audacity to show it off. I would have donned a smirk like Katy in her position. But I’m a smirker. Doesn’t take much.
Nudity is a naturally occurring event.
That loved up wife beater wet tee in the cold salty ocean was not.
🙂
Is it immoral? Is it fame whoring? Don’t know.
Both hilarious, both worthy of mockery. Although, there is an expiration date at some point after which people should move along and find new sources of hilarity. Otherwise, it becomes boring.
I don’t find nude paddle boarding immoral but it is illegal in some parts of the US and people attach moral significance to that.
Orlando knew the paps were there and he did it for attention, attention he definitely isn’t getting in his very stalled career. For that he does deserve some ridicule. For repeating it again a few days later, along with groping Katy’s breasts in front of kids, all for the benefits of the paps he knew were watching, he deserves all the mockery. As does Katy.
Everyone has their own set of moral and standards. This is a gossip site and I don’t get why a few get so offended if some are taking the piss out of TS/TH.
I thought the boob-squishing was icky not mockable also.
But Lilac – we can’t move on unless we have something to move on with. Until then, we will just have to keep harking back to the glory of the t-shirt. Sorry!
@Sixer, yes, we do need something new. Perhaps this weekend will give us something marvelous. But I do hope we are spared boob groping and naked beach frolics. Been there, done that.
Maybe a trip to Disneyland, in Minnie and Mickey ensembles is in order.
The TS shirt and the W Magazine pix together are just too much. Remember the Tom that was named BFI Ambassador? The charming chat-show Tom in Ralph Lauren? BAFTA Tuxedo Tom? I miss that Tom.
yeah so? I don’t think it was too much.I would take him over a crazy attention seeking naked wakadoo anyday.
While Tom and Talor seem like an unlikely fit, the Tshirt wearing seemed like a joke to me. I have some friends that have done crazy stuff like that, and always got just a laugh. Better than some boring, stodgy bloke who is always worrying about what others think so can’t let loose and have some fun.
Yup. You got it Sarrahd. Tom’s always up for some fun and laughs.
@sarahd this!
I would love the whole time Tom is back in LA that TS remains in NY – just to spite the press, but even better if it means they are done.
No spidey don’t wish that, don’t wish for the free entertainment to end! Okay I want the obvious pap strolls to kinda lessen in frequency, but keep them together at least till summers over …
nooooo…not this fast! i bet with a friend that Tiddles will appear together on Emmy’s RC. if i lose, i’ll buy her next version of hot toys Loki 1/6 statue….
@FW I hope he gets down on one knee on that red carpet, with the ugliest ring imaginable just for you
That would just generate countless split articles.
But please, for all that matters in this world, please spare us a double date dinner this weekend with the Cumberbatch duo, during which Bouncing Benny would likely balance spoons on his nose and stuff napkins in his ears to entertain the paps while Taylor sulks and kicks people under the table. I fear poor Sixer would convulse with laughter.
Oh @lilacflowers you tease … I want that now , Sophie and Taylor both sat like they have shit under their noses whilst the jesters entertain … Dont we want Sixer to be blessed with those convulsions, and think of the Tumblr/Twitter meltdown we could all rejoice in… We need that double date to happen, and I want a shot of Taylor with the baby just for kicks too
I would have gone with a casual chain restaurant and Tom is holding the Cumberbaby, cooing, playing peek-a-boo, reciting Shakespeare to him, while Taylor looks on lovingly.
Think of the headlines!
@Abby_J oh I didn’t think of a joint shot , and then Tom touching Taylor’s belly, and them sharing a smile right as the camera clicks ! If that actually happened I would be the one having convulsions of utter joy the next morning when I go online
I wish to be blessed!
Benny the Bouncer will not be upstaged! Not even by his own child. Tom will be shoved outside, baby drop-kicked out of frame while Benny, spoon on nose, napkins in ears, trousers dropped, stands atop the table bellowing the entire Henriad while waving his little Benny about – take that Orly!
@Lilacflowers
I was laughing so hard at your visual (“Waving his little Benny about”) that tears were actually falling. My baby boy just asked if I was sad. Haha! That was amazing. Come on little Otter. Make it happen.
Honestly though, the Cumberbaby doesn’t really get used for attention, does he? I can’t recall ever seeing a picture of him. Maybe I’ve just missed it. Besides, I’m not actually convinced that Bendy and Tom are as BFF as people like to make them. Just my opinion. Still, I need all of this to happen.
@Abby J, Bouncing Benny the fame hungry otter will NOT be upstaged by a child. That’s why the kid will be drop kicked out of view while Benny performs the Henriad, complete with interpretive dancing, proudly displaying what has been described as his baby carrot as it waves at the two women. He will show these upstarts Orly, Biebs, and Tom how to put on a show for the paps. For extra oomph, he’ll wear a shirt reading I ❤️ RiRi.
@Abby_J
Tom was one of the groomsmen at Bendy’s wedding. They have maintained a friendship since their War Horse days. It just isn’t “squad” level friendship (thank goodness)
@Secret Squirrel Didn’t he just do a reading? I don’t think he was a groomsman (I could totally be wrong).
Either way, I’m suggesting that they weren’t friends, but they don’t seem to ‘hang out’ that often, at least publicly. I’d think that since they both want the attention, and they know that when they get together, the fandoms go crazy, I’d think we’d see them more.
Fully admit that I could be wrong. I hope I am. I want Tom to have babies so they can have playdates with future Cumberbabies. I can see both guys strolling through a nice park in London wearing their babies……
@Lilacflowers
I love you. That is all.
@ Abby Tom and Ben did go to an Elton John concert together last year. And they won’t be seen together too much if they are working on different continents. To give a reading at a wedding is quite an important part of things. Although I don’t know if he did or not.
They also went to Sigur Ros together. They may not be bffs, but they do like each other enough to hang out a lot. When ever they mention their bf, it seems to be someone they’ve known a very long time, and who isn’t in the biz or at least not an actor.
It may also have been a natural development from lack of other friends available. I think their other non-actor friends didn’t want to be photoed and put in the tabloids if they hung out in public with them. So it makes sense with everything else they have in common and having done a movie together, that they could hang out without having to explain and apologize for intrusions.
@Spidey: Please God THIS.
Seems we may be in a minority.
I’m with you too. It would be great if they didn’t even see each other. I am just firmly in the “If it’s going to happen, make it as ridiculous as possible
@Spidey: We are, and I am flummoxed as to why
@M16 I can only speak for myself , but as much as I’ve liked Tom, and enjoyed watching him on screen I have always been turned off him once he opens his mouth. He has come across pompous on occasion, and i think Sixer describes it best where she calls it his Hallmark moments, all that grated on me.
So this fall from grace shall we call it actually makes him more likeable in my eyes. There is no more Prince Charming Tom as he was painted by some stans, and a more human Tom who makes mistakes is a lot more interesting! I don’t in anyway ship him, and Taylor (I find the act of shipping real life couples creepy) , and I don’t “get” them as a couple, but what I do enjoy is the fall out it causes online.
To me he looks a little tired and a lot HOT HOT HOT!!!!!! I think he would have preferred an arrival that did not include a bunch of paps LOOKING FOR $hit to exaggerate and write about. The stupid articles and comments that go with them are getting extremely tiresome to me and I am not on the receiving end of all those flashing bulbs! I’d pick him up any day!
me too!
me three!
🙂
i have a theory on so much luggage. TH had a quarrel with TS threatened to leave TayTay. so packed all his belongings and left for OZ
TS jusr went out and kissed an oil heir. TH realised he was making a huge unnecessary mistake. begged to go back to TayTay. TayTay was so sweet and generous and accepted his apology. so TH packed again and now moves back with TayTay
waiting for pap walkS. and proposal, together with declaration of love and ring and flower and tears
This ! I want this !!! 😂😂😂
Pretty good. You should do a story board of the entire Hiddleswift saga.
This LEGS debacle is gutting. He’s looking really fit and I absolutely WOULD with a capital ‘W’ so many times, but I can’t unsee that f***ing T Shirt. The T Shirt killed it. The T Shirt in the sea with a Kardashian and a Hadid.
Shallow hussy. 😉
@Spidey Haaaa! Like a puddle. Innit a shame? :-} @Dara, @RUNSWITHSCISSORS @JHK, let’s sort the limoncello, ambient lighting and pool temperature and bemoan the arrival of peak bod avec that BLOODY T SHIRT. :-}
@Londongal, come join me in the Shallow Hussy Wading Pool – try as I might I just can’t unsee that f***ing t-shirt either. I’m distracting myself by splashing my feet in the very shallow (it’s a metaphor, get it?) water and wondering what’s for lunch.
May I stick my feet in the pool? Heat index 112 here. I’m contemplating Italian lemon cream torte and limoncello shots.
Anyone who wishes to partake is welcome. (My mother would toss down a bolt of lightning from above if I didn’t share. She taught me well.)😂
All that lemon sounds refreshing, I’d love some (tell your mom thanks!)
My apologies, @Dara. I didn’t catch the metaphor at first. The heat and humidity have fried my brain.
However, if there are no other takers, I will cut the torte in half. JHK, bring a fork!
Seems I caused a new club to be inaugurated. 🙂
I guess it’s you and me Spidey treading over here in the deep end.
*hears theme song from Jaws in the air
Do sharks wear tank-tops?
Can’t say I’ve ever seen one, but then I’m not an expert. 😆
Have a feeling lilacflowers might be joining us soon.
That tank is the ultimate cheese.
I love classics degree nerds, but even that won’t undo this tryhard Tom-foolery.
I don’t know how I manage to suppress it, but if it helps, I do think that tank top was made for one of her squad chicas to wear. For one it’s too small for him, and two, it just seems like something her gal pals would wear. How it got onto Tom is anyone’s guess. Maybe he was dared to.
Guy looks like someone was supposed to be there to pick him up but never showed up….
Oh Yay. Tom and his defiant-despite-everything-face is back in town!
Can’t wait for the reunited pics. 😀
To tide us over, we can view old pap pix of Tay walking in and out of places with her then boyfriends – fingers linked, Tay smirk, ending with him at the wheel. Did you see that Taylor Lautner admitted Back to December was about him? The pictures from that time are just the same as the ones with Tom now. Just the same.
If only someone would do a flicker book of the exact same poses, stunting with just the faces of the contract boyfriends changing as people rapid flick through.
SIDEBAR OBSERVATION: I grew up in Sydney, and live in the States, with family still in Oz, and all I can think about when I see Hiddles flying back & forth & back & forth is: “Oh my god, that LOOOOOOONG PLANE TRIP! UGH!!” Of course, I always have been in coach, trapped in the middle. 😉
I read somewhere that ( I think it was Matt Damon) purposely wears the same outfits over and over again so that the paps can’t sell the photos because they all look the same. Maybe he really is trying to keep a low profile?
Tom has a Q&A scheduled with Variety night at 5pm PST. Facebook, online.
Busy boy! I’m sure questions will be moderated. Jet still in NYC we think.
And one more. AMC Facebook live Friday 8pm PST.
He had Variety and LA Times today. AMC and one other tomorrow.
LA Times interview is half hour, mostly TNM, nothing personal except the jelly fish story and a question about RDJ. He is not upset about RDJ’s instagram postings and the MCU actors do those things to one another all the time.
Variety – longer, more wide-ranging questions, including playing with Snapchat and a Loki toy, discussions about ISTL and Kong. Has “plans” for theater which might include Shakespeare, but not at liberty to discuss still; does not know if he will be able to attend the Emmys, they are trying to work out the schedule with Marvel right now; will be filming Thor through November; no discussion of personal stuff.
Maybe he will head to NYC this weekend. Perhaps head to her love nest in the rocks of RI.
Or they split the difference and meet in Nashville. To make wedding plans.
🙂
I just hope we get pics.
“Jet still in NYC we think.” That gets a bit scary.
@Sixer, it includes a shoutout to Rik Mayall.
But nothing ridiculous.
It looks like TS is in Nashville? Gardening 😉

oh look tom just brushed off rdj’s IG like a dirt from shirt. Good for him. 😀
