Tom Hiddleston & Aaron Paul - Actors on Actors - Full Conversation
The revelation of Hiddleswift/Swiddleston late Wednesday might have landed more like a anvil than anything else, but at least now there"s more conclusive evidence that THIS IS REALLY HAPPENINGand has, apparently, been happening for a while.
While promoting the Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light, Hiddleston discussed what it was like waving his arms around like one of those windsock men at the Met Gala while his now-kissing-in-picturesque-places partner did the same.

"I sat next to her at dinner that night and she"s very charming, she"s amazing," he said. "I"ve seen a couple of her videos. I think "Shake It Off" was released around the time we made I Saw the Light. And she"s very cool."
Spoken like a true dude who would go on to take selfies with her on a craggy outcropping.

Daniel Craig Out, Tom Hiddleston In As James Bond?
Tom Hiddleston is used to flashy fight sequences. In the three Marvel movies he"s made (and the fourth one that will shoot this summer), these elaborately choreographed scenes are staged in front of green screens. We may panic watching Loki dangle from the side of the rainbow bridge in Asgard, but obviously no children, small animals or hunky Internet boyfriends were harmed in the making of the "Thor" films.
Hiddleston"s latest movie, "High-Rise," is far less action-driven,and perhaps that"s why the movie"s fight scene was far more dangerous. Or at least he was worried it would be.
HIddleston plays Dr. Robert Laing, a 1970s pathologist who moves into a chic, full-service London apartment tower seized by a dystopian class structure.In the 40-story building, the privileged reside in the top half, while the underclass is relegated to the bottom floors. The besuited Laing moves to the 25th story following the death of his wife, and he is quickly invited to opulent parties thrown in the owner"s penthouse. After a power outage, resources dwindle and a surreal tribe warfare breaks out. From there, the movie -- based on J.G. Ballard"s novel and directed by Ben Wheatley -- gets pretty bonkers.
None of it is as adrenaline-inducing as Hiddleston"s superhero work, but that"s precisely why the 35-year-old Brit had to apologize in advance to a stuntman in case he inadvertently clocked him. The scene in question is a raid at the high-rise"s in-house supermarket, where supplies have grown scarce. A brawl erupts.
"The raid ... was very, very chaotic," Hiddleston said. "I shook hands with a stuntman who I knew was going to play somebody involved in a fight with me. Ben had said, "I dont want this to look like a superhero fight," and he said that as a huge fan of superhero films. He said, "I dont want this to look choreographed so that it has kinetic action. ... Do what you need to do, warm up, plan whatever you need to plan.""
Wheatley shot the scene with handheld cameras so as not to need unnecessary cuts in the editing room, meaning the action was captured continuously. He offered for Hiddleston to wear pads for protection, but the actor"s "transparent" white dress shirt didn"t allow it.
"But the stuntman was padded up," Hiddleston said. "We just shook hands and we were on a parquet floor, and we just rolled around. We warmed up a bit and we looked at each other and I said, "I apologize in advance if I accidentally clip you on the ear.""
Both men made it out unscathed, and Hiddleston called the experience of staging a fight sequence on the fly "refreshing." Now he"s off to the end days of Ragnark, where the character stakes are high but the actors" physical risks, if all goes well, are relatively low. (No offense to Robert Downey Jr., of course.)
"High-Rise" is now in limited released and available on-demand. It also stars Elisabeth Moss, Sienna Miller,Jeremy Irons, Luke Evans and James Purefoy.
Tom Hiddleston talks cats, dogs, Prince & Taylor Swift 20th May 16 | Entertainment News
Tom Hiddleston talks about his early inspirations to become a movie star, including his love of the Indiana Jones films.
Hollywood superstar Tom Hiddleston"s love of movies began when as a child he pretended to be Indiana Jones.
The actor, 35, is now one of the world"s most in demand stars, as he plays villainous Loki in the Marvel superhero movies and is British bookmakers" favourite to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond.
However, Tom admits that as a child there was one part he especially wanted - Harrison Ford"s role as adventure loving archaeologist Indiana Jones.
"I spent my childhood running around my parents" living room pretending to be Harrison Ford on a horse, wearing a hat, with the Indiana Jones theme tune playing in the background," he tells Britain"s Daily Mail newspaper.
But with Harrison still going strong in the role aged 73 - with a fifth Indiana Jones movie featuring the movie veteran being announced by Disney bosses in March (16), he may have to settle for his role as G*d-like mischief-maker Loki.
And Tom, who will return as Loki next year in Thor: Ragnarok, says that when he got a little older, it was villainous characters who he loved seeing on screen, adding, "When I was a teenager I loved watching Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard or Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Batman."
The movie hunk"s early acting career was mostly spent on stage, although he did not always seem destined to be the star. He admits that when at prestigious British independent educational establishment Eton, he was upstaged in school productions by another schoolmate who would go on to great things, Eddie Redmayne.
"Eddie and I are very good friends still," he explains. "We"ve actually been fellow actors for 20 years now. There was a production of E.M. Forster"s A Passage To India at school. I had a small part in the chorus and he had one of the leading roles, and one of my jobs was to play the right leg of an elephant he was riding on, which I still remind him of!"
The big break that would eventually take Tom to Hollywood came when Kenneth Branagh, who would go on to direct the first Thor film, saw him in a production of the William Shakespeare play Othello.
"I was in a production of Othello and Ken Branagh, being the Shakespearean he is, came to see it," the British star says. "He said he"d like to work with me, so we did a radio play, and then a Chekhov play in the West End, and then he cast me to play his number two in the TV series Wallander.
"When I first came to Los Angeles, I was auditioning for everything, big movies, small movies, superhero movies," he adds. "Ken cast me as Loki in Thor. Bizarrely enough, Joss Whedon (The Avengers director), who had also seen that Othello production, had loved it so much that he wrote me a very good part for Loki in The Avengers."
Tom"s latest film, a biopic of American musician Hank Williams was released in the U.S. in April (16), and opened in U.K. cinemas earlier this month (May16).
Samuel L Jackson and Tom Hiddleston Lose it Over Their Fan Art - The Graham Norton Show
LONDON (AP) - A British bookmaker has suspended betting on British actor Tom Hiddleston to be the next James Bond.
Coral says a flurry of bets in recent days made "The Night Manager" star the 2-1 favorite to replace Daniel Craig to be the next 007. But after a particularly large wager, the odds plummeted and betting was suspended.
The bets came after Hiddleston had been reportedly spotted meeting with Bond movie director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli.
Coral says Luther star Idris Elba and Homeland actor Damian Lewis had been Bond front runners in previous months. But Coral spokeswoman Nicola McGeady, says while earlier in the year "there was a gamble" on those two, nothing has "come close to the recent gamble on Hiddleston."

The Graham Norton Show S19E07 Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L Jackson, John Malkovich, Sara Pascoe Everyone remain calm. We didnt think it was possible, but they may have just foundthe hottest James Bond yet Tom Hiddleston. Its not official, but fans are already losing their minds over the possibility. Check outthe epic reactions!
Daniel Craig, 48, is officially done playing James Bond. Fans were sad about that forall of one minute, before freaking out overthe possibility of Tom Hiddleston, 35, taking overthe role. Of course, he would make an amazing James Bond, but are the rumorstrue?
Daniel has reportedly turned down offers to reprise his role as James Bond intwo more films, which means the spot may now be open for someone else to take. And itdidnt take long for fans to start throwing around Toms name on Twitter, and from the looks of the responses, the studiosshould definitely give him some serious consideration.
Why shouldnt they!? He would be the perfect fit. Hes already insanely attractive, something numerous fans have mentioned, but hes also got that quiet mystery going for him as well. Like, you could imagine him sitting politely at a dinner table, but then dodging bullets without getting his suit dirty if the occasion called for it. It really doesnt get better than that, but not allfans totally agree.
Actually, many people are still rooting for Idris Elba, 43, to get the coveted role. We cant say we would be mad about that! Everyone has a different vision for what and who James Bond should be, so making everyone happy wont be possible. Fans seem to be divided every which way, but the ones who want Tom are very, very devoted.
