Before Tom Hiddleston films I Saw the Light, the Hank Williams bio-pic which is proving to be more controversial than initially anticipated, he films High Rise. He’s probably going to start High Rise any day now, and some additional cast members have just been added. One name in particular is of interest to me, because I like her so much and the Dragonfly Community would freak the f—k out if she got with Lord Dragonfly. Elisabeth Moss, also known as Peggy Olsen from Mad Men, has joined the cast:
Welsh actor Luke Evans (“The Hobbit”) and Elisabeth Moss have joined the cast of Ben Wheatley’s “High-Rise,” which is being produced by Jeremy Thomas’ Recorded Picture Company. As previously announced, other thesps include Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons and James Purefoy, as well as Wheatley’s regular players Reece Shearsmith and Peter Ferdinando, and comedian Dan Renton Skinner.
“High-Rise” is slated for a July start in Belfast, with Thomas producing through RPC. Financiers include Film4, the BFI Film Fund and Scope Invest Producteurs of Belgium, with support from Northern Ireland Screen.
“High-Rise” centers on a new residential tower built on the eve of Margaret Thatcher’s England, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart.
Hiddleston plays Robert Laing, a young doctor seduced by the high-rise and its creator, the visionary architect Anthony Royal (Irons). Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Miller).
I keep forgetting that Sienna Miller’s bulldozer vadge (credit: Michael K) is also in the film. My money is on Sienna making a play for Tom, just because that’s how Sienna rolls and you know she’s got a thing for the hot English boys-of-the-moment. An affair with Tom would be the perfect way for her to self-destruct her relationship with Tom Sturridge.
But what if Hiddles goes for the quiet girl? Elisabeth Moss is probably my favorite (second-generation) Scientologist, and she doesn’t roll deep with the Xenu crowd. She’s already been married and divorced, she’s one of the best actresses of her generation, and I just really like her. I would love it if she got with Hiddles. I would love to see the Dragonflies come face-to-face with Xenu. Oh… this is going to get good. Prepare yourselves, Belfast.
(Unless of course he’s still with Jane Arthy. HAHAHAHA.)
PS… Is this a new or an old interview with Hiddles? It’s about The Pirate Fairy, so I don’t care that much.

I can soooo get behind Hiddles and Moss.
Hell, yeah!! Do it like rabbits, you two. Or dragonflies-whatevs. Two smart, interesting actors! Love it.
Elizabeth Moss is pretty, i hope she has scenes with Tom. This film sounds more exciting than “I saw the light”.
She is playing Wilder’s (Luke Evans) wife and so far as far as I have read has no contact with Laing at all,.
She was briiliant in Top of the Lake
@icerose, I think there may be a very small scene in the beginning of the story when he escorts her to an elevator or something but you’re right, no dialogue between the characters. Her scenes are with the characters of Luke Evans, Jeremy Irons, and James Purefoy. She interests me as an actress. I think she’s one of those rare cases of a child actor who actually carries talent into adulthood.
As for the two of them getting together, I don’t see that at all. And doesn’t she have a boyfriend? A photographer?
@Lilacflowers i am only half way through and so far it has just been her and Wilder. Do you know who Purefoy is playing .I was thinking Talbot or Steel?
So far Laing, despite being referred to as someone who has affairs with women, gets very little action but I am only at chapter 6.
icerose, Purefoy is playing Pangbourne, the gynecologist on the upper floors who competes with Jeremy Irons’s character. I am really anticipating the scenes between them. Pangbourne does have some scenes with Mrs. Wilder. Reece Sheersmith is playing Steele.
Laing’s personal life changes, icerose, though not necessarily in ways that bring nice thoughts to your head.
@lunchcoma I love the way Tom is taking on these characters who are twisted and perverse, I am pretty sure we will get more of the same in Crimson Peak
Well at least there will be one decent female actress in the film. Phew.
There are several more female parts. This could go either way!
I am still trying to recover from an article that said that Hiddles was in competition with Liam Hemsworth to become one of the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers in an upcoming film. Must be April 1st. The BBC radio times website has a “How well do you know Tom Hiddleston ” quiz, the only sensible answer being of course “not as well as I ‘d like to”
Not as well as I would like to either! I kind of need some biblical knowledge. Invoking the Bible is a nanny thing to do, right? The Power Rangers thing cracked me up. I hope somebody sent it to Kevin Feige, just for a reaction.
No Tom cannot do Power Ranges-no more franchises let Liam have it.
@icerose, but I need him to be James Bond! By the time that’s ready to roll, he’ll be near the end of the Loki contract.
and he’ll be just the right age, mid 30s =)
It will be perfect! And Chiwetel’s out of the running since he’s a villain in the next one.
I take it back -yes to the James Bond franchise if he can breath new life into the franchise. I stopped watching after Moore and Connery because it seemed to have gone down the action movie route. Ben Whishaw tempted me back but I just get so bored during all the explosions and overblown action scenes etc.
HAHAHAHAHAH, the only thing worse than the epic girlfriend/wife meltdown would be if he became a Scientologist, omg
LOL this. I would purchase a brand new lawn chair and a big ol’ economy box of popcorn for that show.
Me too! Epic meltdown for sure….
I’m not even a huge fan of his and I would feel a little put off by him becoming one. I’m sure he knows what repercussions that comes with.
For the older fans who know about this religion yes, it would be turn off but for the younger fans, I highly doubt they know what goes on behind those close doors of theirs.
If I were Co$ I would LOVE to get my hands on someone like TH with so many young and/or impressionable fans. I mean, I stumbled upon people who became “heathen” because he played a Norse god in a Marvel movie. Imagine what they would do if Tom “I give you live advice via twitter” Hiddleston would turn to Xenu.
However I think/sincerely hope that he is sane enough to stay far far away from anything like that.
This is a man who has worn the same five items of clothing for three years. If he won’t spend $ for a new sweater, I’m having trouble seeing him pay for weekly auditing sessions.
Yes, but I think the clothes are maybe just because (like so many men) he doesn’t like shopping and feels comfortable in his old favourites? He has one of the most expensive blenders in his kitchen, I don’t think he’s stingy when he thinks something is worth the money. But I agree that he hopefully wouldn’t see auditing sessions as worthwhile.
I don’t see his daddy being overjoyed about such a conversion.
L.O. freakin’ L.
I hope he has the sense to stay the hell away from C of S, no matter how prettily it comes packaged to him.
When I first saw her name was attached I figured she might play Hiddle’s sister but it looks like she is playing Mrs. Wilder. This cast is just amazing at this point. Oh yes, let her get with Hiddles for a brief, passionate affair. She is talented, pretty, and funny. She was so good in Top of the Lake!
Ditto re: Top of the Lake!
This cast is brilliant ,.Avery different role from Top of the Lake but she was so good in that I think she will shine in this.
They keep saying Charlotte is Laing’s assistant but I am about half way in and I do not think she is??
She isn’t.
I like Elizabeth Moss a lot, I love her on Mad Men. I like her in this movie. I just hate Scientology, I think its a dangerous cult and I’d be done with TH if he got involved beyond a friendship with someone in that group. Just like I’ve been done with creepy Tom C since he showed his creepy true self back in 2005 and I still can’t look at Katie Holmes the same way.
Having said that, I would be shocked if that happened. And he could still be with JA. Who the F knows.
I’m getting out of here before the other 300+ comments roll in, lol.
She’s a great actress, but I think he likes them prettier. And bustier. And I suspect Arthy would shank Elizabeth. She’s worked so hard to get him, she won’t let go without a fight.
I don’t think Luke Windsor would let him near Scientology. It would be the final nail in the coffin of that carefully crafted image they’ve built.
Re: carefully crafted image – forgive me if this is a dumb question, but why did he/his PR people go with the whole Prince Charming PR thing? It seems like every other actor who gets the Tumblr heartthrob treatment hates it and he’s talented enough an actor to not need to rely on that.
@OhDear
There’s a lot of protection in that image, though. They’re so blinded by the hearts in their eyes that fans overlook a lot of bad behavior. Robert Pattinson courted that same image in his (very) early days with Twilight, and his fans to this day have a skewed vision of him because of it.
Hiddles seems like a nice enough guy who genuinely does like to spout poetry, etc, so he can work that Prince Charming angle without it being total phooey, and it will be great camoflage for him over time.
It kinda looks to me that the Prince Charming image hasn’t been fuelled by any specifically crafted interviews/appearances/PR since this winter though. Looks like it’s mostly the particularly persistent fangirls who keep perpetuating it. I wonder what Tom and his team will come up with when he is promoting his current films.
@Intro and @OhDear – where did that Prince Charming thing come from in the first place? I’m a little late to the party so I might have missed it, but that label seems to have sprung spontaneously from the fandom and a few of the more smitten interviewers rather than from him or his team. Granted, I don’t think they worked particularly hard (if at all) to discourage it when maybe they should have, but given his recent roles hopefully that tag is going to just fade away.
@Dara, I am also relatively late to the party, since OLLA only, but as far as I understand, it was the persona he and Marvel were specifically using for all Marvel-related promotion. He was a sweet-heart to the fans from the beginning, never said no, was always polite and well-mannered, spouted Shakespeare and other rainbowy things and never freaked out at anything – when he was promoting TDW in Australia, iirc, one of the fans asked him to take her into his arms and he obliged lol – hence the Prince Charming.
I think the Prince Charming thing originally came out of the fandom, as an exaggeration of his own personality. But then he spent a good year + (2012 – 2013) cultivating it, and courting the fan base with it. In the last six months or so, he seems to have backed away from it because of a career shift and privacy issues with his personal life.
Pretty much what pru said.
The Prince Charming thing seems to have come out of blog on Entertainment Weekly’s website and was picked up by the fandom and other media sites that expanded on it. As far as “backing away from it”, he really has done very little PR in the past six months, other than the trailer for Coriolanus and a few scattered interviews for Coriolanus, Top Gear, the US release of OLLA and Pirate Fairy and the recent announcement for ISTL, so it would be difficult to say what persona he’s pushing.
That’s assuming she’s “got” him… ha ha Although I could see her shanking a bitch either way…
@ kate2
“I’m getting out of here before the other 300+ comments roll in, lol.”
Bet you will be back 🙂
I think I would just cross that bridge when /if it happened.
What does her being a Scientologist have do with anything?
Seconded.
Aliens darling, aliens.
LMAO
Not just any old aliens though….THETAN BODIES.
Whatever the f*** that is.
@Highland Fashionista, do they look like this? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fb/Battlefield_earth_screencap.jpg
this got a good chuckle out of me half asleep at half past 1 in the morning
@jammypants, I live to serve. Strangely, I was also awake at half past 1 in the morning.
Agreed. No one would comment on someone being a Catholic. And being a non-believer, Scientology sounds just as crazy as all other religions.
Except for the part where it’s a dangerous, manipulative cult.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Fishman/time-behar.html
I have my issues with organized religion, no church/temple I have ever attended in any sect of Christianity or Judaism has ever given me the bad vibes that one trip to the Scientology Celebrity Center did.
I felt the same way when I attended a Pentecostal meeting. They started talking in tongues and one girl foamed at the mouth. That was my queue to leave, but I couldn’t. They wouldn’t let me. And don’t get me started on how people aren’t allowed to leave the Muslim faith. One woman who was technically born a Muslim, but raised a christian, is on death row. Bah to all of it I say.
You’re right. In fact I tried being open-minded and respectful of their belief. But then I read what they believed in. Coupled with their practices and bad reputation of being basically scammers and money-milkers, sorry, no can do.
Scientology is a cult, not a religion.
Agreed. Religions and cults are never black and white to me, it’s a very complicated issue, but Co$, as well as Jehova’s Witnesses a coouple of other similar OTT cults, are a huge NO for me.
Except one can say the same for other religions. People are asked to pony up money, just like CO$, give of themselves, live a particular way, spout what some consider utter nonsense, etc.
I can remember being with a very religious woman who commented on Jehovah’s Witnesses. She said, ‘they sure do work well together. too bad they won’t be saved.’. Don’t understand why someone else’s beliefs are automatically wrong or crazy, while clinging to christian or Muslim or Hindu beliefs; which are just as odd.
But its okay if we agree to disagree. Sisters?
Delorb, you’re right, every religion has weird/disturbing elements. I guess it depends on the people you know. Most people know a Christian, or Muslim or Jew or Buddhist and most of them are normal lovely people. I realize now that it’s more about the people than about the religion/belief. Scientologists are just weird. It’s not their belief really, it’s them and their behavior. My bad. Kinda scary how easy it is to generalize and blame the idea instead of the person.
It has to do with now knowing she’s part of that organization, something has got to be off about her!! Sorry to be honest. She’s gorgeous and talented but she must have a screw loose.
It’s notable that she’s part of a cult.
Everything is important when Tom Hiddleston is being discussed!
Let’s just be honest, we over-analyze everything about him. A controversial religion such as CO$ is not going to be overlooked.
Love her. Yes, excellent casting choice.
I don’t see Sienna hooking up with Hiddles cos I think she has changed for real- from the wild party girl to a devoted mum and spouse. I mean honestly I never believed she’d end up with Tom Sturidge and having a kid with him.
Miss Moss is a good actress.
This movie sounds more promising than the HW movie.
By the way, Sienna looks so pretty in the above photo.
In other news… Today marks the 5th year remembrance of MJ’s death. I wish a post would be done about it.
And I don’t think Sienna would make a play for Hiddles because he’s not married! I think she’s more likely to go after Jeremy Irons, who has been caught cheating before and probably has some kind of “arrangement” with his wife. I would be very sad if either JI or Hiddles got it on with Sienna, though!
Moss…Casting, yes. Shagging Hiddles, no! Luke Evans? Yes, thank you!
Sienna…well I guess it’s in the realm of possibilities she’d make a play for him (or him for her, really) But it’d be a very very temporary thing. I mean, heck Jude Law fooled around on her, didn’t he?
I thought Tom and Susannah Fielding were just adorable together. I have particular tastes for my boy, since I can’t have him.
Now if I could only get that little imp Loki out of my head. All day every day, there he is, hounding me incessantly. Love him, but he’s such a bad little deity, very little work is getting done around my place :-O
I thought Luke Evans batted for the other team? 😕
Well, well….how about that? He’ll always be Bard the Bowman for me ! 😉
I got a little thing for Ben Winshaw too…he’s just so lovable 😉
And of course you will know that Ben Whishaw definitely does because he is in a civil partnership/marriage with Mark Bradshaw
Yeeeeahhh….that one I knew about *sigh*
Hell of an actor though, won me over with Hollow Crown Richard III…crazy good performance.
He was also perfect in Perfume. He’s a great actor!
And I adore him as Q.
I am really looking forward to his performance as Freddie Mercury.
Joe: Luke was openly gay few years ago but since he started to get roles in blockbusters he went back to the closet. His bf can be seen with him in many events ( is a blonde guy).
@ bella.
Yes I had heard that, but isn’t it a bit difficult to go back in the closet once you are out?
Love her! She’s got the personality and the acting chops to hold her own in this cast. Sorry Sienna, not sure I can say the same in your case but hope you prove me wrong. I’m looking forward to seeing this movie more now than I was when the others were cast – including our boy Tom.
Good casting choice! I like Elisabeth Moss. There are some fairly high-profile names attached to this movie so far.
I don’t see Tom becoming a Scientologist, LOL! Are there even any UK actors into the whole Scientology thing? I can’t think of any.
Not that I have heard of. More US actors/actresses I think. If they are v down low.
Janeite I do not think scientology has caught on over here or if it has it gets very little press,
I know there is at least one country where Scientology is viewed as a cult and practicing it is illegal, but I can’t remember which country. The basic belief system is no weirder than any other religion, IMO. I think it’s more to do with the active recruitment of celebrities and the movie and TV industry as well as some alarming practices talked about by former church members that has called attention to it.
Germany, I think.
I wonder if Tom hooks up a lot with his female costars? I know he dated Kat Dennings, but I also believe he may have had a brief affair with Jamie Alexander? They were over the hills into each other on some of the Thor interviews. Since seeing Jamie with Tom, I began to think that they would be a cute couple. However, in the end I believe he will end up with Mia Wasikowska.
Why? I believe this because they tend to work together from time to time, and they both don’t seem to have made plays at each other. They went to school together and have a lot in common. Sometimes folks get together and marry that were never really interested in each other, it just happens more so out of them being around each other a lot. Besides, I like Mia too.
On a side note, I read somewhere on an American guys blog who saw Corialanus at the Donmar, that Tom’s fans got waay out of hand. He said that he and his wife stood in the que with a few well behaved Hiddles fans for hours waiting for Tom to come out after the show. He said that a few minutes before it was expected for Hiddleston to leave the Donmar to go home, a huge group of female fans, who all had wide smiles on their faces and scary wide eyes (how he described them) started jumping people in line and pushed their way to the door, blocking it so that those who paid to see the show were stuck in there. He said that a few old aged viewers pushed the door open and started whacking the girls with their canes that were blocking the door. He said the females looked creepy. He then said that the security of the Donmar came out and asked that everyone please go home. He also asked them not to go to wait for him outside, and to please not ask the other actors where he is and when he is coming out. Security also asked them to please not attempt to find or linger around Tom’s car, and that Tom will know when they have all gone home. Or else, he won’t come out until they have properly dispersed. Can you say Crazeballs? The onlooker said that the security guy genuinely appeared to be freaked out by the creepy fans. Another gal reported on the blog that Tom had been groped while handing out autographs at the Donmar, and that it was the straw that broke the camel’s back in regards to him communicating so much with fans on twitter. Does anyone else know anything about this?
You mean Tom went to school with Mia Wasikowska? Where? He went to Eton. All boys…
They studied at RADA. He said that they didn’t have classes together though.
Are you sure? She was 15 / 16 when he graduated and there’s no record of her on their alumni database.
Her resume on wikipedia never mentions RADA…
You might be mistaken cuz Mia only lived in Australia or Poland.. Never came to UK as a student whatsoever…
I could be mistaken, although I remember him saying that a Mia went to school with him. This was while he was doing a promotion for RADA .
Tom and Mia would be VERY cute 🙂
Hiddleskowska? LOL
I ship them already!
Isn’t Mia alerady very cute with Jesse Eisneberg?
my fantasy has always been Tom and Tilda but I doubt it happened or will happen
Yes, Tom and Tilda are great. But Tilda and her bf Sandro seem like such a great couple, I like them very much, so I can’t really ship T&T.
However fandom watching would have been really, really interesting if anything would’ve happened between Tom and Tilda. 😉
I think that as he is such a big tennis fan our boy should go for one of the pretty Wimbledon players. Caroline Wozniaki is back on the market and there are lots of other leggy lovelies on court ( the bit@ches…)
I think he and Kat Dennings dated briefly, but that’s it. Jamie Alexander has been with Peter Facinelli for quite a while now and I believe Mia W. has a boyfriend too.
And yeah, the crowds at Coriolanus got out of hand. It’s why Hiddles stopped doing the stage door thing. Nothing new there.
@ Jainete,
I guess the story was just new to me, haha. 🙂 though, that’s why I asked because I know a lot of you guy are always up to date on Hiddleston news and wanted to know if anybody knew anything else about it.
Yeah, everything old is new again on that blog. Recycling is good for the environment though!
Can you imagine…you’ve done a grueling show, almost every night of the week (sometimes twice a day), you’re giving an intense, physical performance, and then you have to encounter crazed fans every evening afterwards? I would straight-up DREAD stage door.
Did I hear somewhere that Benedict Cumberbatch’s people (sorry for mentioning him in this thread) already said “no stage door” for his upcoming Hamlet gig? I think that’s super smart on his part.
@ Jainete, there was a lot of rubbish floating around at the time. When some fans were talking to the Donmar staff and apologised for some of the fans the Donmar staff said they had not noticed it. To be honest they had also had Jude Law there and other well known actors and were uses to the fan experience.
The only thing I saw was on one of the nights I was there some of the upstairs fans in the back row pushed by me while people were applauding so they could get out in the queue.
Great, I have no idea what happened here. My phone sucks.
You haven’t been reading that blog that shall not be named again have you? 🙂
However, if Tom had been groped, I don’t blame him for not appearing after the show. That is gross, and also actually a criminal offence.
I remember years back Mel Gibson when he was at his career height (and before he became an idiot) he had the same problem and pointed out that it was just as unacceptable for it to happen to a man as to a woman.
Yes, but not all fans are like that!
😉
Him being groped is news to me. I know it was reported that someone yelled and cursed at him which was one of the causes he stopped doing the stage door.
As for the blog-that-shall-not-be-named, I no longer visit. She stepped way out of line w/some accusations that go way beyond gossip and it is safe to say the woman running said blog is a known crazy in the fandom.
@ joe spider,
No I haven’t read the tumblr blog, but I want to read it. If I knew where to look, I’d read it. I just want to read exactly what the blogger posted on her tumblr that has everybody outraged.
There was NEVER, repeat, NEVER, anything confirmed about what exactly happened during the Coriolanus run that caused Tom to stop meeting fans. There were lots of reports of sightings of misbehavior and also those who claimed everyone was orderly and perfect. I’m sure the truth is somewhere in between. I have no doubt something happened but what exactly that something or somethings is has never been truly verified by Donmar staff, security, Tom, or his people.
@word girl – We are calling it “blog that shall not be named” because no one here on CB is going to promote or give that person any more time or attention. Stay here with us on CB……you don’t want to have to be the next customer in the brain bleach line…don’t even bother there are fanfic sites with better more fun “stories”.
@Joe Spider the groping was the only bit that has made sense to me, He did request no hugs but he had a bad cold at the time and I just put it down to that. Then he said no pictures because if time restraints.The security guard never revealed why Tom stopped coming out towards the end but to be fair Tom was pretty busy those last few weeks.
I think there is going to be a booming business in high concentration Brain Bleach in the coming months. Just saying. I’m developing a lovely product line that includes a purse-size spray bottle just for CBers. Orange or pine scented.
In other news, any sign of Our Dear Boy at Wimbledon?
@Miss Jupitero, he’s been at the Adelburgh festival doing art and music stuff.
I’ve been that blog that shall not be named..Funny, they are calling the people there who disagree with them ‘nannies’. I see their point, the ones that are screaming for that blog to be shut down. I think it is all bullshit anyway. If some people believe what is being said there, they are idiots.
As for what happened at the Donmar, that one account of fans being unruly is truly creepy and sad. What the hell is wrong with people. No wonder Tom stopped signing at the stage door. Well, that is a grueling play to begin with and plus he was sick and tired. I really hope he was not groped.
The blog that shall not be named is basically a vicious dictatorship, under the guise of free speech.
It’s really gotten absurdly vicious towards a guy who has a rep for only kindness and overeager behavior.
God forbid you should point out the absurdity or hypocrisy. He has a personal life that doesn’t involve tumblr. And he didn’t consult any of them about it. Cry me a friggin river.
The anonymity of the internet frees some people to inflict their ugliness on others. And it reveals how dishonest and unkind some people really are. That’s where they live.
Human nature at its worst, IMHO. And undeservedly so.
I came into the fandom around the end of Thor the Dark World’s run in the theaters. SO bummed about that. In catching up with the vast number of interviews, articles, appearances and stuff, I get where the Disney Prince image may have sprang from…his natural self! He was always so sweet, so eager to please, and so intelligent and multi-talented…the dude could dance and do impersonations!… I mean you watch the first few things in disbelief and then you’ve crash landed into love with him! So, I dunno if it was PR, maybe it was, but I also think he just couldn’t help himself from charming the pants off all of us. But then things like him being misquoted about love and stuff happened…the fandom took the image into delusional levels, hence the crazed fans at the play, trying to get a piece of their “prince”. Which also leads to intense hate, you know that fine line. I’ve found a thread on a all guys’s site that ripped him apart, very much like that looney on Tumblr who started out hating on Susannah and claims she’s not into Tom (uh huh). I think we are more than welcome to our fantasy image of the perfect Tom Hiddles, despite how much the Disney Prince thing is now despised and how much some mental cases try to take him down for doing things no different than other, rich, famous, and gorgeous guys do. We know he’s not perfect, and love him more for it and thank him for the smiles, laughs and fantasies he’s given us, lol.
Tbh, I think that some people – here at CB, too – are dragging up the Prince Charming thing and then happily ridiculing it because frankly that’s the only thing Hiddles can be ridiculed for 😉 He’s got a good and varied CV, excellent professional reputation, seems to be choosing gutsy and interesting roles.. There’s GOT to be something to tear him to bits for lol.
I am a bit tired of the Prince Charming thing. But , I think it will take time to die down as he did encourage it quite a bit and he only dropped it this year. Late last year he was even saying “I yes to everything” and “I don’t know my boundaries”, which to me sounds a bit childish so I am hoping for a more grown up image.
Though from now on, I will not associate the image with the man. It is clear that I don’t know the man and I perhaps never will.
Now, if I were to pick up something to tear him to pieces is his tan. (Based on the latest pic on twitter with him at Aldeburgh). How did he end up with such an uneven tan? His face, neck, chest, arms and hands are all different colours. How did this happen??
@JulK: agreed about childishness. Also hoping for a more grown up image.
Re: tan: lol if it’s not a bronzer – the man simply doesn’t take enough care of himself. Which I actually find endearing and refreshing 😛 So tired of so many male celebs fretting over their looks, doing all kinds of peelings and applying botox and whatnot.
First of all I want to say, that TH is – in fact – a Disney Prince lol: http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/This+logic+I+like+it_fdf6a6_4842666.jpg
Other than that, what Intro Outro said basically. I think he’s genuinely nice and polite and charming. And he was genuinely glad and happy about his breakthrough with Thor and thankful that the fangirls were supportive. But of course it got a bit out of hand (the internet has a way of blowing things out of proportion and that happened with part of his persona) and he himself didn’t know what he was getting into. But since Coriolanus he is a lot more cautious and I have to say if “being overly nice to crazy fans” is his only fault then… well, there are worse things lol.
@JulK: We discussed the tan a bit here and although I am not very knowledgeable about stuff like that it seems his has some old severe sun damage on his face and therefore he now tans weirdly. And the different colours of his body parts – well, that comes from being a rather pale Brit and probably not lying in the sun to achieve a smooth, perfect tan but rather just being out there and relax. 😉 However in the end a weird tan isn’t something I really hold against him either, tbh lol..
@Intro Outro – Doesn’t he go to the spa to get his nails done?? I am not saying it is bad, but he does not neglect his looks that much… a bit of lathering of sun lotion would help.
I am tired of both male and females obsessed with youth. Age gracefully not plastically.
The spa manicure was in Toronto and I think (?) it was for the movie?
@Altariel – agree 100 percent with “We know he’s not perfect, and love him more for it and thank him for the smiles, laughs and fantasies he’s given us, lol.” I don’t know him, but he seems like a nice person who is trying his best in the crazy line of work he is in. People he has worked with like Jim Beaver, who I love, can’t say enough good things about him. I person is different at 33 than at 23…he will continue to figure out things on to 43.
Altariel hit the nail on the head. Tom never portrayed himself as a perfect “Prince Charming.” He was his sweet, adorkable self and it was endearing. We did see glimpses of him during his interviews where you can see he’s just like a normal guy who has a naughty side but don’t we all?
But this one blogger on tumblr went on a spree manipulating gifs of him from interviews to say the most sappy, cliche things about love and romance. The biggest culprit was the “this generation has lost the true meaning of romance” quote. Tom never said that but it was juxtaposed on an interview of his from Thor where he’s talking about Loki’s hurt and he looks serious.
Once that hit the tumblrsphere, a zealous portion of the fans elevated him to Prince Charming standards and they became invasive in their adoration.
I don’t blame the guy for pulling back and not being as open anymore. He’s still polite and friendly with his fans when he meets them but it’s clear many fans have misconstrued his friendliness and fantasy has bled into reality, and now Tom is getting stalked and groped. With how accommodating he is in giving his fans hugs, I have no doubt someone groped him during his Coriolanus meet and greet. They probably thought they were being cute and trying to get his attention without realizing just how inappropriate and offensive they were being. You do not touch anyone without their explicit consent. And do not grope people unless you are that familiar and close with them.
Tom has done absolutely nothing wrong to warrant this level of vitriol from some of his fans on tumblr. The guy is simply living his life. Yes, he’s a celebrity and it’s fun to speculate and gossip about his personal life casually but to the extent where some fans are turning him into a major douchebag with a lust for underage fans who is also a genius blackmailer on the prowl for emotionally weak women to hook up with and has no qualms about using people for his benefit and has expert PR at keeping it all hidden yet at the same time saying Luke Windsor is the worst PR agent of all time? I mean, come on.
Did some of these fans take Tom and Jane being in Bora Bora together that personally? Who knows what’s going in between him and her but to take it this personally? Dear god…get out of the house once in a while.
This ended up being much longer than I anticipated lol but I apologize if it offended anyone. I had to state my opinion about some of this fan behavior.
Portia,
Well said and I agree 100%. And everything being said about him elsewhere online is a complete fabrication coming from someone who was pranked into believing she was talking tom Tom and/or people who have admitted to making things up just to see if people would believe them.
@Isadora …. maybe then Chris Hemsworth is Disney Prince too!!
@julk, fair-skinned people who don’t care about having an even tan and don’t work to maintain an even tan end up with extremely uneven tans. I am under strict medical orders not to tan. I slather myself with sunblock, not sunscreen, sunblock, daily and wear a hat with a wide, all-around brim, yet my arms are a different shade from my neck, which is a different shade from my chest, which is different shade from my nose, which is a different shade from the rest of my face, which is a different shade from my forehead, which has three different shades in very small space. Don’t get me started on how my darkly tanned feet contrast against my pasty white legs. And when any area has been exposed to the sun, the damage shows. I have my English grandparents to thank for this fascinating unevenness.
@Portia, cheering you!
I think most people contradict themselves. I am sure you could pull half of what I have said in the past too pieces if there was a visual record of it. but in this case there is also a lot of twisting of what has been said and taking it out of context. A lot of the silly sight as I now call it is inaccurate or unsubstantiated by anyone but the blogger. And if I have to lay odds on an aggrieved fan and Tom I think I will put my money on Tom.
@Lilacflowers join the 50 factor sun block gang. i have to keep my arms covered and wear rash t shirts and leggings when snorkling etc . I have had eight melanomas but luckily I am so well monitored now that many of them have been caught early.
@icerose, I’ve been a member of the 50 factor block gang since my aunt died of melanoma while I was going through breast cancer treatment. So glad yours were caught early. Good health to you. I’m the person on the beach under a tent whose entrance is guarded by a large beach umbrella.
@Julk: re: nails – he had them done for Crimson Peak shootings, didn’t he? But i am pretty sure he goes to spa and stuff like that because he’s an actor and his appearance is part of his job, but be seems to be paying much less attention to this aspect than many other actors.
@Intro Outro, agree that the Crimson Peak treatments were for something related to the shooting. The producers also sent various other members of the cast for spa treatments. At the end of Coriolanus, Mark Gatiss tweeted that Tom treated cast members to spa treatments, so I suspect that he enjoys them for the relaxation and de-stressing aspects (massage) as opposed to the beautification aspect.
Mia is involved with Jesse Eisenberg and she didn’t go to RADA.
@ Lilac Flowers,
*Sniff Sniff*
I knew I smelled the fresh scent of Lilac around here. Yes, the other posters have corrected me, and now I stand corrected, lol. However, I did see him I doing a promo for RADA & in the promo he wore his favorite leather jacket & said that another person, I believe it was a Mia that went to the school as well but that they didn’t take classes together. It must be a different Mia all together, I just assumed it was Waskowska
The blog I read was not so colourful and I went to the source. The idea of little old ladies coming out of the theatre brandishing their canes paints a quaint picture of the UK but in reality this just does not happen with a UK theatre audience .
The security guard did have to clear the entrance when I was their for a lady in a wheelchair but that was because Mark Gatiss was signing autographs just outside the door and their was a crowd around him. It was an afternoon performance and from day one Tom was not signing for afternoon shows so no Tom fans hanging about at all.
Funnily enough on that day I was waiting for a friend to arrive about half an hour before the show and she called me and said the whole cast was sitting in a nearby restaurant minus Tom and no one gave then a second look.
Tom was inside getting his makeup/wounds done because we know from the video release it was a long process
RADA? Jesus, where do y’all get your information?
There’s more than one Mia out there in the world, folks.
So far quite impressive casting as an independent film, and they got another funding source – good!
Now I am wondering who will play Laing’s sister. She is the character who interacts with Lainge most frequently and sometimes in very strange ways.
@ Sunflower,
I didn’t think I was introducing new info to th post. However, I mainly wanted to know if the person that groped him got arrested or not? If I were a celeb, I would probably file charges.
To be honest, it was the first I’d heard of it. I know the fans were crazy and he stopped doing stage door at one point. Sometimes I think gossip is like broken telephone; it goes from someone saying that the fans got out out hand to someone suggesting someone did something inappropriate to omg he was groped. The worst I heard at the time as I was following the tag on Tumblr was that a lady (if she can be called that) jumped on a security guard. I would take everything you read on the Internet with a large grain of salt.
I think if charges had been pressed there might have been press — but maybe not in the PR world. I read the same story from the “US male blogger” about his experience at the stage door — it never mentioned Tom being groped (Tom never appears), but was quite dramatic about the “fearful” stage door manager pleading with the loonies to “please, please go home like I ask you every night! and don’t look for the other exits! Tom won’t come out until you disperse!” I’m still not sure I believe it — the blogger and his wife went back the night AFTER they saw the play to try to get an autograph. My husband loves me, but he wouldn’t stand – in the rain, no less – for a second night (and I wouldn’t ask!). Sounds a little like a fangirl fantasy. Sometime during the TDW tour, I think, there was a video of Tom speaking strongly to a group who mass around him, telling them to back off, be patient and orderly, and he’ll attend to autographs one at a time. He can handle himself. And post-Coriolanus, he spent quite a lot of times with fans in Toronto, signing and taking pics. I think there has been a shift in his “dancing bear” act in recent months, but up until Tahiti-gate he was still quite present. It will be interesting to see what it’s like on set with HR — when he’s working, and interactions with fans are part of the job.
@Lucretia: it was after Iron Man 3 première http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotnlbhkV38
Also, am I the only one who STILL doesn’t understand what was so big and drastic about the Tahitigate that would make him completely change his persona and interactions with fans and press? O__O I do believe he’s changing his public presence by the way, but imo it started much earlier.
@Intro Outro. I’m with you. I don’t think Tahitigate changed anything regarding his fans, press or even PR. I think his image is changing to accommodate his projects and most importantly what he want to achieve in future projects.
However, I do get a vibe that something on the personal side changed. I don’t know what and this is just a vibe.
Oh yes… Tahitigate.. I mean, it was fun while it lasted (we brought CB a bit grief back then, I think lol) but in the end it’s still nothing. It’s not like his next director will say during auditions: “Well,… yes, Tom, that was wonderful. You nailed it. But I don’t think we can give you the role because of.. you know… what happened in Tahiti. There’s photographic evidence! You were standing next to a woman! That’s just .. not done.” *lol*
As to his personality.. I don’t know. I mean of course he changes, everbody changes when we get older and more experienced (and the transition late 20s/early 30s is sometimes generally a bit of a deal). And when Thor came out he was completely new to this frenzy while now he knows that he should probably not google himself lol. But I think in the end he’s still Tom Hiddleston – whoever that is.
“It’s not like his next director will say during auditions: “Well,… yes, Tom, that was wonderful. You nailed it. But I don’t think we can give you the role because of.. you know… what happened in Tahiti.”
Isadora I can imagine it!
“I’m sorry Tom, I can’t give you the role because I don’t approve your relationship with THAT woman. How dare you to be with her when I ship you so hard with Mia!!! Get out! Get out! I don’t want to see you again! You perfect bastard! You broke my heart. Your career is over! GET OUT!”
LOL
@Lucretia @Outro – yes to that video! Those few seconds changed my entire perception of him. Having that much zeal (good or bad) directed at you in an uncontrolled situation would scare the sh*t out of most people, but he handled it perfectly. In my book, he went from talented, sensitive, slightly too-obliging thespian to talented, sensitive thespian who won’t take any crap if he doesn’t want to.
For the person to have been arrested, police would have had to grab the person at the scene as it is highly doubtful anyone would have had her name and address, so , no probably no charges pressed.
I don’t think he has changed anything since Tahiti-gate, no matter how hard those who created the whole Tahiti-gate frenzy wish they had that kind of impact.
Word girl this is the first time the groping has been suggested.It never came up during the run and was not reported by anyone official. So as far as we know nothing was ever lodged with the police.
@Lucretia i met the security mam in question 3 times and the idea of him being afraid of a few fans is ludicrous. He worked the crowd like a sergeant major and made it very clear if people did not cooperate Tom was not coming out. I think he was ex army but for sure he was no shrinking violet
There’s one particularly nasty fangirl who basically calls everyone who details stagedoor things which they saw with their own eyes as liars, “nannies”, “fanshamers” and Gawd knows what else. There were people writing about what they saw themselves, and she just attacked them. That group that she aligns with are rude and proud of it. Apparently there are only too types of fans. Stop me if you’ve heard this before; the lewd and the prudes. That’s it.
One of the Donmar security guys said that some fangirls tried to follow Hiddleston on the tube. More than once. At that point, he started driving.
Now that awful site-that-shall-not-be-named has posted his address, as well as pictures of his house, inside and out. ….!
Wow, fairyvexed….. that’s all seriously f’d up 🙁
You ladies speak sense. Also, wasn’t that leak of his house not real? it’s random pictures of different houses made to look like it’s the same place? Don’t be so gullible haha
Hi Jammy! There is actually a link to pictures of the house when it was on the market before Tom Hiddleston purchased it. It’s like an online real estate brochure. It has been posted before on Tumblr and on Datalounge as well, I believe. It shows the house as it was before Tom took ownership but does include the specific street address. Even though the info is accessible online, I think it’s really appalling that it continues to be posted. I don’t care that it’s not illegal. That’s beside the point. Allow the man at least a modicum of privacy.
The nanny has spoken, LOL!
Janeite, I agree. The funny thing is: the blog probably turned me more into a nanny than I ever was. *lol* It’s like being in a group of people where you don’t know anyone, but suddenly and without reason a few gang up against one – normal people would likely side with the victim.
And to me it’s also rather peculiar because I’m reading “High-Rise” right now and I can’t help but see some slight similarities regarding this vulturine atmosphere of jealousy, accusations, insults and conspiracies.
@Isadora, there may be some similarities but I think the residents of High-Rise know that “glamorous” does not mean “blue-blooded.”
@Isadora I do like the comparison to High Rise-it’s a dog it dog world
@Sunflower a lot of it is probably Chinese whispers. There was three main incidents plus the American blog which seems to have morphed a bit since I read it.
One was the fans who swore at the security guard who told them they had been there too many times, another when someone got overexcited and had to be restrained by the security guard and the unknown incident which happened towards the end of the run after which Tom did not come out. A few fans did follow him and BC to a restaurant but that was it. The rest just seems to have evolved since the run. From things people have told me there was more pushing and shoving at Tennant’s and Law’s signing which were not as well organised.
Janeite, thanks for letting me know. I bet fans are curious and daydream about being in that house with him :p
btw I’m really enjoying this very rational discussion on public persona versus private.
Isadora, I feel the same way! I’m oddly protective of people I don’t even know now just because the level of nastiness being sent their way is so totally uncalled for. I always thought women were supposed to stick together and support each other and here Jane Arthy is being villified beyond belief by other women. For what? The crime of being photographed twice with Tom Hiddleston?? Someone on here said that that blog says more about the blogger and its contributors than it does about Hiddleston et al. That is so true.
Jammypants, you’re welcome! I agree that everyone is curious. That’s perfectly normal and natural. But yeah, there’s a point at which curiousity has to make way for respect and another human being’s right to privacy.
@ Lucretia,
The blog didn’t say anything about him being groped but a poster on the blog, if you read further down, I think it’s the last poster on the page, any way, that poster said that Tom was groped when someone else asked what had happened a couple of days before the guy had stood in the que because it was the guy’s second day in the key without seeing Tom.
@ Intro Outro,
I feel sorry for Tom , that situation looks painful. I think I grimaced for him. I think the fans think their being endearing but what they’re really being is overbearing.
Word Girl-
I posted back up in the thread about the groping issue. No one knows for sure what happened to stop the stage door thing. There was never anything confirmed about groping or any specifically identifiable misbehavior. Everything is just either hearsay or assumptions or vague statements. Something must have happened or else I don’t think he would have stopped greeting fans, but no one knows exactly what.
@Janeite: i think Word Girl was referring to the garage video of Tom after IM3 premiere that i posted up the thread.
Yes i have just got to the sister part in the book and it is all a bit strange,I am loving the book but it definitely has a strong psychological under current which does not always go where you think it is going. I can see some very creepy WHEATLEY moments happening in this film.
I think it bodes well that ii is attracting such a great cast and it does feel like there isa buzz about it
I think I’m going to fear building corridors, elevators, and garbage chutes after seeing the film. And swimming pools.
@ icerose. The relationship between Laing and his siter gets truly strange by the end of the novel. I cannot imagine exactly how Wheatley will present that subtle psychological undercurrent, but I think he and Tom will do a fairly good job.
@ Lilacflowers. To me swimming pools are the most grotesque part. I am pretty sure the director will make visually stunning scenes with every part of the high rise.
I’ll be avoiding large complexes for months.
@ Intro Outro,
Yes, I clicked on your video, and the fans’ desperation for Tom was a bit loopy.
The pool scenes at the end of the book were truly disturbing.
I’m sure the final shots will either be of the next high rise beginning its descent into chaos or the piles of bodies throughout the High Rise and in the swimming pool.
@Gingerly finished to book to day and it is going to be some film. Talk about the psychological deterioration of man-no wonder it is attracting the cast it is-there are some really meaty roles fir an actor to get his teeth into. As for Laing His character line is actually more subtle than some of the others. And they will need a huge sign at the end of the film saying no animals were hurt in the making of this film
@Lilacflowers.so agree about the garbage shoots but visually the film could be one huge nighmare
@icerose, I’m now having visions of dirty syringes full of morphine. Yikes! When, oh when, does this film release? I can’t wait.
I love Elisabeth Moss! She’s such a phenomenal actress – Top of the Lake is absolutely incredible, everyone should check it out.
I am really excited about this film. I think it is going to be interesting and thought provoking. I haven’t started reading the book yet, but plan to. I think Tom will work his booty off on this film, while getting ready for I Saw the Light. Sounds like he will have little time for “anything else”. I think Elizabeth will be a great actor and I LOVE LOVE Jeremy Irons. Can’t wait for Crimson Peak too!
@Word Girl – I agree in the end when he does marry it will probably be a nice girl/mother to his kids that he has common interests with. Hopefully someone who is a nice person. Side note: Jamie and Peter Facinelli seem like a weird couple…
@ Ava,
I’m going to have to check Facanelli out. I like Alexander. I guess it’s her tomboyish charm, lol. I would like to see her get cast in something else besides THOR though.
Peter Facinelli was married to Jenny Garth for a long time. They seemed so happy together, but he decided to call it quits. I remember Jenny was completely devastated. Wonder what happened there 🙁 Interesting it came after his Twilight fame.
Oops, Jennie Garth 😉
My understanding is that Facinelli started an affair with Jamie Alexander while he was still married to Jennie Garth. The affair is what led to their divorce. Peter Facinelli has been with Jamie Alexander since then but I don’t think they have married.
Oh, foo….I do hope Jamie came along after that boondoggle.
In the mythology, Sif, wife of Thor, was known to roam around…thanks to Loki 😉 Anyway, I think that’s how one of the tales goes.
“I Saw the Light, the Hank Williams bio-pic which is proving to be more controversial than initially anticipated,”
Eh. Any time a non-American is cast in an iconic American role it’s a big deal, and vice versa for Americans playing iconic non-American roles. Remember the dust up over Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher? Or Renee Zellweger and Bridget Jones? And there are still people upset that Henry Cavill is Superman.
Don’t forget Vivian Leigh playing Scarlett O’Hara! Of course, I don’t think that is a big deal now. Most folks who just casually watch the movie probably have no idea that she was even not an American. 🙂
I still wonder at Renee Zellweger playing Bridget Jones.
Her accent was cringe-worthy. (Renee’s as Bridget)
Yes, Yes it was!
Yep….and we enjoyed the movie anyway, despite the huge “Renee is an all-American girl” gorilla sitting next to us, lol
In fairness, I enjoyed it more for Colin Firth. 🙂
@Abby_J, Colin and Hugh.
Oh Hugh too! Of course!
I like Elizabeth Moss a lot! Never knew she’s a scientologist lol. It’s one of those cases where I wish I knew less than more. Oh well. It doesn’t change the fact that she’s an excellent actress. High Rise is looking more and more promising, can’t wait for the first pics from the set!
I’d be down with Hiddles and Moss as a couple. But yes it would be an epic meltdown if he joined her cult. And he’s so enthusiastic I could see it happening. Yikes!
Any of the spys know if Jane has started following Moss or Miller on Twitter? 🙂 Sadly, I don’t Tweet and know nothing about it!
I have a very hard time seeing Hiddles as a Cultist, but I suppose stranger things have happened. I never EVER would have expected my beloved Will Smith to get involved in all of that crazy, either. Now my boy is off his rocker. I blame his wife. 🙂
She’s deleted her Twitter
Ahhh! Very odd!
It was weird Fangirl Jane deleted her twitter because dispite what is said about her she got no hate tweets. In fact she got the opposite.
I’ve read on some creditable tumblr sites that whatever they had ended and that’s why she deleted it.
Anyway I ship Hiddles and Elizabeth. They look cute together and who cares of she’s a Scientologist
So there are some Tumblr Tom sites that are normal and give good information? It’s such a vast world in there, I thought they must surely exist somewhere, lol
Yes, Altariel there are some very good Tumblr sites that stick to focusing on his work w/very little commentary on his private life. That other site is not the norm and I don’t see it staying up very long either.
Yes, torrilla is great (what would we do without her!) and I also like Hiddleston-Daily. The team behind it readily answers fan questions and knows a lot but they are also respectful and quite professional.
Oh, nice. Thanks, I’ll check those sites out 🙂
Yeah, Jane Arthy deleted her Twitter account a couple of weeks ago. And I don’t think anyone knows for sure the exact nature of the relationship between her and Tom Hiddleston, despite all of the gossip about it. I would take any info from any “reliable” or “creditable” sources with a big grain of salt.
As would I. Until either one of them makes a statement, and that seems unlikely, they’re the only ones who know what is between them and it really isn’t anyone else’s business.
I have no idea how Moss is as an actress first hand seeing how I have not seen a single episode of Mad Men nor will I due to the simple lack of interest but from what I hear she is pretty good. The only thing I know about her is that she is a Scientologist who divorced her husband because while he was on SNL the show would make fun the “religion” (yes I am putting it in brackets) and she couldn’t stand by that.
I do wonder when this movie will come out though. I don’t think they given an estimated time of release.
That’s not, as far as I know, why she divorced Fred Armisen. He was apparently a total ass during their marriage and drove her away with his bad behavior (he says that himself). If she objected to SNL making scientology jokes, I assume she wouldn’t have dated him in the first place, much less married him — it’s not like they only started making those jokes recently.
Armisen himself has stated that he was a terrible husband and Moss has said the marriage was a horrible experience that she’s trying to put behind her. She survived it and is glad she didn’t have kids with him. From what I understand, she’s been in a relationship with a photographer for a few years now.
Oh, well that makes a bit more sense. Again, I don’t follow her and that was the only bit I remember.
For a little indie film, High Rise has assembled a nice cast. I wonder if everyone’s decided they want to work with Wheatley or if it’s just a strong script. I’m not imagining there being much on set romance (I don’t know that Moss is Hiddleston’s type, and he certainly doesn’t seem to be hers), but I’m looking forward to seeing the movie.
Yes, the cast is really beyond expectations! I’m glad and very curious how the film is going to be…
And the type thing… No idea, but I bet nothing “romantic” at all will happen on set.
but what about off-set? those 70’s clothes are going to be quite a turn on for the actors, big hair, beards, flares and maxi-dresses and cocktails before midday too!
For sure! But we both know which two “actresses” are going to attract him… *mixing cocktails*
i have the best cocktail recipes at the ready “blush”
There are still quite a few roles to cast: Alice (Laing’s sister), Anne (Royal’s wife), Eleanor, a friend of Laing’s, Jane the Actress, and the Children’s Book Editor (for some bizarre reason I’m imagining Imelda Staunton).
I think Wheatley will merge a few characters. Yet we definitely need Alice and Elenor because the two women’s relationship with Laing is very important in the depiction of his character.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some merging, but yes, we’ll need Alice and Eleanor. I’m curious who will end up playing Alice.
Eleanor? “a hard-drinking redhead whom Laing often found riding the elevators up and down in a fuddled attempt to find her way out of the building.”
Isn’t Lindsay Lohan right now in the UK? (scnr)
I suppose they could dispense with Jane the Actress, although she owns the afghan, and merge the jeweler’s wife with the children’s book writer. But Alice and Eleanor are essential.
@Isadora, are you trying to kill me?
@isadora
LMAO
that’s hilarious.
I’m with Gingerly on this.
I think the women’s parts although not as detailed as the men’s will be fascinating.
@Lunchcoma after reading the book I can see why the actors are lining up to do this film. The character arcs are amazing and I have to say the images of Wilder in the book are making me long to see Evans in this as much as Tommy who has the less flamboyant part which could actually be harder to play .I am sure having Wheatley as a director. It does seem to be attracting actors who go for more unusual role.I remember when Irons first became famous he went for a lot of roles which were very different from Bridehead.
I just love actors like Whishaw, Tom, Tilda and Daniel Day Lewis who do not go for the obvious roles and it looks as if Evans and Moss may be in that way inclined as well
Great news! I’ve never seen Mad Men but I recognize her face xD. I’m curious about High Rise because, at least to me, is the more interesting project of Tom.
Oooo! High Rise is definitely building up an interesting cast. I am so amped to watch this movie now! I like stories where depravity takes on a life of its own.
As long as Tom says he’s officially single, there will always be speculation about him getting together or hooking up with his female co-stars. Frankly, I am interested to see what kind of a woman he chooses to settle down with but don’t have any favorites that I’d like to see him with.
But I DO have some favorites I’d like to see myself with o la la *waggles her brows suggestively at Hiddles and Fassy and Darvill* haha!
Hands off Miss Portia. Fassy is mine. We’re happily married I have you know! Lol
Waaaait. I thought Fassy was Isadora’s! Don’t tear him to pieces, ladies 😛
Thank you, Intro Outro! You are absolutely right! I mean… I know he constantly makes mooneyes to the ladies and I’m right now trying to curb his philandering ways, that’s why he’s currently chained to me. I need to be a bit stern with him. But I’m sorry to say that Ellen must be married to an imposter! Gosh! 😮
(However if he looks exactly like Fassy… if I were you, I would totally keep the imposter! He’s probably better behaved than Fassy anyway.)
@intro outro Isadora is married to Hiddles. Fangirl Jane was a cover for their romance.
Liliac Flowers is married to Chris Evans.
I can’t remember who is Benny, Mark Strong or Sean Bean in the boot’s wife. They might be up for grabs
Married to Hiddles?… Oh… we could talk about that… *side-eyeing Fassy and evaluating* No… I mean Hiddles is wonderful, but I just know him since this year. On the other hand Fassy and I go back 8 years or something.. It would be such a difficult decision.
I’m married with Hiddles! LOL
Hahaha! Who doesn’t Fassy belong to? I’m sure he’d have no problem loving us all lol!
Oh dear god, I shouldn’t have said that. I may have short circuited my brain with the images that just popped up in my head…
Hey now…..Lilacflowers and I have Tommy locked up in a lovely room. I am willing to share though, because I do still have Jonny Lee Miller. 🙂
Ermm… i would also like to claim ownership of Fassy. I am happy if he is married to one of you, but from time to time he has to come a visit me and make one his legendary breakfast dressed in a small white apron and nothing else.. hahaha..
@Portia. I always like Natalie Portman for him, but she is happily married. But I like her type for Tom to settle down.
Must remember the apron if he is frying bacon!
I was going to put sausages but……………………….
So that’s where he went, when he said “I’m just getting breakfast” and came back with empty hands… That rake.
@Isadora. I am afraid so. Guilty as charged. Gotta love our bad boy.
@ All in this post,
Unfortunately you guys, I have already made plans to steal Fassy from Isadora, unfortunately he is currently chained to her at the moment. And I for one have made up my mind after coming off my Hiddles heist to capture Fassy as well. As a matter of fact Anthony Mackie is readying the boat right now, which is just part of my escape plan to snatch Fassy, and I won’t have you guys ruining it. Fassy is mine mine mine mine. 🙂
Well… good luck with the boat, I live in a landlocked country. 😛
I want Tom to hook up with someone who is a bit more hip artistically and politically inclined than he is. Someone who will shake him up a bit and bring out something a bit different in him.
Yeah, that would be cool! I don’t care who, but it would be great to see him with someone really artsy maybe and/or someone who is more outspoken. I don’t mind that Tom doesn’t share his beliefs and opinions. He’s an actor and he may feel that his opinions are no more important than anyone else’s. Still, it would be fun to see him with someone who’s not like him in that respect!
@janeite Someone who could tease him out of the public school mold and stretch him with a few good debates. I think that being with Tilda and JJ widened his perspective, I remember he was describing Adam and Eve at Cannes and he implied that people who looked like that did not exist and Tilda just said to him but in some areas of towns they do.
Team Sienna!
It’s high time Hiddles did smt interesting, gossip-wise (having a gf and keeping her from the stans is not gossip worthy, it’s… reasonable?)! Sienna would bring the drama! And the ‘Jude vs. Tom’ posts here on CB!
I want him to find someone who hasn’t got baggage who will make him and herself happy.
Does she have baggage? She seems to have a name for herself in her field. Music exec, right?
@Felice … I somehow suspect jose spider may have been referring to Sienna?
I want him not to date anyone on the industry or a fangirl/fan baiter/ Troll. Simply because of what happened last time. Nice humble girl would do Mr Hiddles perfectly.
Having said that I’m still on Team Elisabeth.
What did happen? All I know is that one photo last year and one fan photo this year happened, a few tweet faves and one deleted twitter account. Maybe other than that music girl is nice and humble. Or she is awful and flippant. Or both at times. Nobody knows.
I don’t know Elisabeth Moss, so no idea if I like her. Xenu is a drawback though.
I’m with Ellen: No fangirls or fanbaiters. I don’t mind if she is in the industry or not.
The BC thread was having a similar discussion as to who should BC marry. Someone said a woman with a STEM carrer would be a nice choice. Funnily, I immediately thought TH will be most likely than BC to end up with a STEM woman. Assuming he knows any.
Neither of them are allowed to marry anyone as they are both my back-up husbands.
joe, I don’t mean ‘in real life’, I mean in the wonderful world of PR showmances, which is quite another thing…
Isadora,
That’s pretty much all that happened. Those who watched her Twitter compulsively said that she favorited and followed (then later unfollowed) a fan who tweeted her about the Tahiti pic and said she was pretty. Based on that and her history of favoriting and following accounts Tom also liked, she was called names like troll, fangirl, fan baiter, etc. Other than that, nothing major. But yeah, people got carried away and speculated about the whole nature of their relationship just based on her Twitter account. And no one knows why she deleted it, despite all the speculation.
@janeite For once i dont fully agree with you. i don’t know about her fan baiting or Trolling on twitter.I just said it because they’re words associated with her. But she’s definitely a fangirl- just like us 🙂
I just think someone humble might suit him more. But who knows
that’s my last ever comment on it.
Who is not? Even Jim Beaver is a fangirl. 😀
Well, she’s been photographed with the man twice so if that makes her a fangirl, then yes, I agree. But I’m not going to draw any conclusions or make assumptions about someone just based on what they favorite or who they follow on Twitter. There are plenty of people on Twitter who favorite the same tweets I do and follow the same accounts I do. Based on that criteria alone, I must be a fangirl of thousands of people I don’t even know.
Yes, I wa referring to Sienna.
@Esmeralda -Ahhh… I see.
In that case: J. Lo. She is a curvy brunette that loves singing and dancing.
Eton and Cambridge educated Hiddles meets Jenny from the Block.. sounds like a rom-com ready to happen…
Oh no. Not JLo. Horrible…
Btw, I know I’m complicit in mentioning the “curvy brunette” type here, but I’ve since changed my opinion. Of his three (somewhat) confirmed “romantic involvemets” (of whatever sort) only two were brunettes and none were truly curvy or voluptuous or whatever the rumor is.
Only Kat Dennings fits the brunette/curvy bill and while she is really gorgeous their fling was never confirmed in any way – although I would have hit on her if I were Hiddles. 😉 Conclusion: No “type” for Hiddles. Pretty is a plus.
I know what you mean Esmeralda. I would love to see him seriously involved with someone coming from “left field” and totally different from what all his fans imagined.
Wait, am I the only person that thinks Sienna Miller is a truly horrible actress and will ruin this movie, which otherwise has a great cast??
Sienna Miller isn’t a terribly good actress, but she has a relatively small part and I believe it’s within her range. Elisabeth’s character is more interesting in my opinion.
I haven’t been impressed with Sienna Miller either; she might get strong direction from Wheatley to help.
The character of Charlotte doesn’t really do much in the books, unless they beefed up her character in the film.
Maybe they are merging her with Eleanor? They seem to have cast most, if not all, of the male parts. They’ve added Wheatley regulars Peter Ferdinando and Dan Renton Skinner but haven’t identified who they are playing. They’ve cast one of the Wilder kids too. But the bulk of the female parts are still unnamed.
i know ‘p’enny really needs her sunbathing scene but, from what I remember of the book, Luke Evans’s character spends the last third of the novel with his trousers open. Curious how they will handle that.
Yea I have a feeling some characters will consolidate. It gives actors more to do and I’m sure it helps with budget.
I have a sneaking suspicion the “nude” sunbathing will really be him in shorts or some sort of swimwear.
I actually didn’t imagine Wilder anything like Luke. But Luke is a fine piece of work so I will let that bit pass.
I think the nude sunbathing will feature a newspaper or some other item acting as a screen. But Wilder’s character is all out there in a primitive show-off sort of way. Does anyone know if Evans is inclined towards that sort of performance?
@jammypants @ LilacflowersI am equally as interesting Evans running costume or lack of it at the end. The novel was pretty graphic in the description of his bat and balls. I think Evans must know what he is letting himself in for.
I have to say there is a lot of implied rape as well which could deter some actors but they may wash over it in the film as with the novel and not actually show it,
Fantastic to learn Elisabeth Moss is on board. She is superb in Mad Men and Top of the Lake and makes interesting choices.
Which one of us is going with TH to Wimbledon? Or is that extra ticket taken?
Pot stirrer!
Isadora already has her outfit and plan. He can’t disappoint her.
I vote for Isadora. I prefer going to the teather with him.
Oh thanks! “Your voices: for your voices I have fought;” *running around in see-through gown*
Thank you, Ellen! Yes, I’m ready, sunglasses and all. I plan to faint into his lap with a perfectly pronounced “Oh dear…”. You know… the heat and all. However Secret Squirrel will be in his breast pocket. Breast pocket, Squirrel!!! If she has other plans for other pockets I might have to faint directly on her and while I’m not exactly heavy it still wouldn’t end well for Squirrel.
I think we are all dying to see who is going with him this year.
All of you are welcome to, as long as you remember to drop him back at my place at 10!
But… it’s too early 🙁
Am I the only one hoping he does not show up for Wimbledon??
Don’t get me wrong, I would love new pics, but I would rather him “sacrifice” a bit of Wimbledon PR and just stick to PR that support his projects.
Sorry, Isadora. Maybe you can go over to his and watch the games with him?? I assume you do have a key 😎 . Or invite him over.
I’m starting to doubt he’ll go to Wimbledon this year considering the hoopla surrounding last year’s appearance. Unless he takes Emma again. I’d be cool with seeing a bit more family bonding time for Hiddles. He’d be more relaxed-looking if nothing else. 🙂
*evil laugh* now I have you all on the Hiddles-Train I can have Mr sex-on-legs Fassy all to myself in my dungeon.
Enjoy Wimbledon ladies
@Ellen. You are not helping. I am trying to distract Isadora with TH and tennis.
All I can say is don’t tire him too much. Sunday morning he is coming over and I have high standards as to how I like my eggs. 😎
Unfortunately, whether he goes or doesn’t go, it won’t stop the gossip and rampant speculation. If he doesn’t go, it will be because he’s keeping a low profile and afraid to go out in public because of internet gossip. If he goes alone or with a guy, someone will say that a friend of a cousin who knew someone who was there saw him with a woman he asked not to be photographed who may or may not have looked like Jane Arthy or some mysterious blonde or brunette. If he shows up with Jane Arthy, that fandom freakout will recycle itself. And if he shows up with another woman, a whole new meltdown will ensue. And no matter what, some giant PR conspiracy will be behind all of it, LOL!
@ Janeite. Exactly! People will speculate anyway. So predictable.
I think he may not be able to attend Wimbledon because he has to prepare himself for HR. They will begin shooting in July and Tom may have to fly to Belfast in late June however he loves tennis.
You’re not the only one who thinks he should not go. It is almost too predictable at this point, fangirls assuming he goes every year.
Edit- I echo what Janeite wrote. Spot on.
I thought he genuinely enjoyed the tennis so would have gone anyway, not to do with PR.
Does everything always have to do with PR?
@ joe spider: I was refering to him visiting the Evian Suite at Wimbledon, which he has been doing every year and yes, I would it is PR (for Wimbledon I assume).
What he does in his spare time is his business. I am pretty sure that if he goes to a game he is likely to get photographed, but that is different. Personally, I wouldn’t mind some buffering time away from the limelight and more news on his projects. I am dying to know when they start high rise.
Samuel L Jackson is at Wimbledon today, the British No1 girl took a selfie with him on a cracked i phone. it was funny. Binoculars are at the ready looking for Hiddles hiding in a cap and blue t shirt.
I am going to Glastonbury with Hiddles and I shall return him extra muddy and ruffled, and not clean. HAH! he has a clean phobia according to the ‘Site that Cannot be Named’
Boy everyone cracks me up on here…but that’s that how its supposed to be…fun! Now that’s a novel concept for ya…….
Make sure he looses that revolting cap! I’d love to see Hiddles in a mud fight.
Muddy? Ruffled? Like Hal/Henry? Not bad…
And yeah… clean phobia – considering that this is the guy who constantly hugs and handkisses his fans (who knows where those hands were before the kiss) and drinks from a glass into which the interviewer coughed *lol* (“Herpes? Well, people say always go for a new experience.”)
I agree, Isadora. This is a person who drank out of someone else’s glass. If he has some kind of germophobia, he’s very good at hiding it. (On the other hand, apparently poor Marc Summers from all those Nickelodeon kids shows in the 90s had terrible OCD and suffered miserably from his messy job, so it’s possible we’ll get a tell all book in 20 years admitting that he still has nightmares from that prank interview.)
Baggsie I get to bath him!
Good job, ‘p’enny! He needs to be dirty for High Rise.
Clean phobia? I thought it was smell
The whole “clean” thing came from a throwaway comment made to Miss Thing by the fake Tom. It was something about how he found all women to be attractive, except for ones who smell bad, or words to that effect. Then with the embellishment of that blog and its readership, it morphed into Hiddles having a clean/germ fetish a la Howard Hughes. Ridiculous.
I have booked Tom for the Wimbledon final .He has taken a shine to my Bugatti Veyron and wants to have a jam with boys in the boot later in that evening He is certainly free for all the remaining says/
While he is there I will mention my sister is a matchmaker and see if he has any thought s on a future wife.
He looks like edward Norton jr. in the first photo!
I always thought he was a mix between Norton and McConaughey…well like McConaughey when he speaks in a southern drawl.
Thats….kind of a weird headline choice but ok lol
Has anyone said this yet…..He is wearing the s**t out of that suit. Men of Planet Earth, listen up! This is how you wear a suit.
I love a man who loves a waistcoat. He really knows how to dress his six-foot-whatever frame. Hell yes. Heellll yesssss.
He is almost always glorious in his three-piece suit but I particularly like the color of the suit in the 2nd image.
A bit unfair to other men planet of earth as not all of them are 6′ 2″ and have such a slim body.
Yeah, a bit unfair..,probably. I’m a tall person myself, so I’m seeing things through my height filter, I suppose.
Good Lord, ladies, i went to sleep thinking that surely since we had just had a Hiddles thread a couple of days ago, we would not get past 100 comments this time… How wrong i was 😀
Silly girl. Have you not read/seen what goes on in these threads every time him or Cumberbatch get a thread? 😉
Speaking of which, the Otterettes haven’t hijack this thread yet. I’m disappointed.
They still have an active thread.
@Lilacflowers-true. I forgot there was one the other day.
And this one hasn’t gone as off-track as they normally do.
It has enough. Did you read about all of those people above making plans with OUR Hiddles? We have race training to do, among other things. Jonny is all emotional again at the thought of another kidnapping.
Jack Bauer is still in London Abbey_J i’ll give him a call.
I think Jonny needs to toughen up a bit, has those years with Angelina J left him nervous and scarred? aaargh,
@Abby_J Tom is a master at dividing up his time and likes to spread his enthusiasm around . He is a free spirit needs a bit of freedom.to explore his diverse interests but he will always belong to the lovely ladies at CB
I think they need some ice cream.
Ice cream might help. 🙂
Or maybe a cupcake. Cupcakes makes everyone happy.
@Abby_J, right now, cupcakes make me sad because Cakeology closed. Where am I supposed to get a mini Earl Grey & Honey cupcake when I need an afternoon treat now? ice cream, I need an ice cream. So do the boys. Into the Jag, everyone!
That sounds quite yummy! I am sorry that they are not available anymore. I’m down for ice cream. Lets all pile in.
Lilacflowers-
Early Grey and honey-flavored cupcake? That sounds like the most delicious thing ever!
@Janeite, oh, it was! And the mini ones were just the perfect size. But gone! I have to figure out how to make them myself if I am to find peace.
@Abby_J, do we have a preference for location? Staying in the city? Or taking them for a long drive out into the countryside to a dairy stand?
I’m all for the long drive. We might want to get some pillows in case dear Sean gets uncomfortable in the boot.
Kimball’s, here we come! I do hope Sean doesn’t smother himself with all those pillows.
Christopher Yost has posted a picture of a sticky note on wall, on his twitter page with a scribbled Thor 111 and Kat Dennings has retweeted it, and gone “what!” She hasn’t got the message then? Kat love, Chris is the scriptwriter for Thor3 and with luck will bump you off… 😀
Oooh! Can we give him suggestions on how to do it? Sadly, I’m going in to work really early this morning or I would come up with some ideas now.
Awww, I really like her….
With luck they’ll bump Natalie Portman off. Kat Dennings is wonderful.
Darcy could use something to really do, besides just be the comic relief to Jane Foster’s stiffness. I don’t think anyone would miss if Jane wasn’t in Thor 3 😉
Kat Dennings said during the last go-round that Darcy needs to go to Asgard. She’s the only cast member who hasn’t had dealings with Loki and she would drive him crazy.
Darcy drive Loki crazy?? That’d be sweet. Someone send in a sript!
@Altariel, it could be payback for what he did to Stellan’s character. And somehow, Chris O’Dowd’s Richard character has to land in Asgard too. Just because he and Tom are insane together.
@Lilacflowers, sounds perfect!! Picture Darcy nagging Loki for scrambling poor Selvig’s brains, so he begs Richard to help him hide from her. Then the two of them go drinking and stumble onto the Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall sees the two fools nearly fall off the bridge one too many times, so he grabs them, cracks their heads together and hurls them back to the palace (or dungeon) where you guessed it, Darcy is waiting to berate them both some more.
@altariel, actually, the two of them could just stand around continuing this conversation and I would be delighted, but yes, throw in some Heimdahl and some Darcy wisecracks and some Zoe Saldana in her Marvel Gamorra character sulking at them and it would be divine.

I wonder if the TDW had Darcy because Marvel Studios insisted she stays. I don’t mind her character, but they gave her way more scenes than Malekith, which gets a huge wtf from me.
Malekith didn’t do much but walk/stand around and speak some elvish, wanted darkness…almost a non-entity with my great-grandmother’s braids. I saw a silly video where Malekith is bitching at Loki for hogging the spotlight, lol. Loki didn’t have a ton of screen time, so they could have done much more with Malekith. It’s like everyone forgets Christopher Eccleston is in the movie!
yea I read that Loki took all of 19 minutes total in the whole movie. He sure did well with 19 minutes!
At first I wondered if Malekith’s screen time was cut down due to accommodating for more Loki time, but then I found out that basically both Malekith’s and Loki’s screen time was cut down drastically during editing. Ffuu, Marvel. My suggestion that you should take lessons from Jarmusch on which scenes to keep and which to cut out remains in force.
@jimmypants and that’s the reason i don’t think Hiddles is in a rush to film Thor 3. I don’t think he got the respect he deserves, until they woke up and filmed extra scenes with him. I just get the feeling both Chris and Tom want a break.
The editing in both Thor films has been just criminal and a huge disappointing fail on their part. Yeah, yeah, time restrictions, Loki is too sympathetic, yadda yadda. The final cut of TDW was very short, so don’t know what their excuse was there. And butchering Renee Russo’s parts, that explained so much, both times (especially the first one)…I wonder if she’s relieved that she can’t come back (supposedly). Lol, love this stuff, sorry if it’s off topic to the thread 🙂
In the promos Alan Taylor made it very clear that it was a case of “don’t blame me” for the final cut short of doing something that probably would be in breach of contract It was obvious he was very unhappy with the final result.
Whatever they got so wrong with TDW, they go so right with The Winter Soldier.
I have to say that I saw TDW in an airplane and even there I thought it was dull. It seemed like a sampling of characters rather than one story. I think TH is better off , he can always come back and film some scenes in between projects.
Chris is different as he is also in Avengers and Thor movies will revolve around him regardless of the script. But after seeing him in Rush, I think he can do so much better as well.
And he killed it with every second of those 19 minutes! Good thing too, sheeesh… otherwise….boring?
Would have been nice to see what happened to Heimdall, Sif and the other (2) for helping Thor escape. But no, never goes back to them. (credits aside)
Despite the shortcomings, at least we also got Stellan Skarsgaard, who’s always a plus in my book….even if he’s all crazy and running about naked, lol
As messed up as TDW was, I still found it extremely entertaining. And there was so much eye candy. After that droning exposition at the start about dark elves, the real beginning was Loki hand p0rn. And there was idris Elba making that ridiculous costume look sexy. And Chris Hemsworth. And Chris Hemsworth shirtless. And Chris O’Dowd for laughs. And Loki. And Chris Evan’s butt. Who needed an actual plot?
But yes, I agree, between the bad edits in both Thor movies, they could probably make a great film. They had so much rich material with which to work. And, as choppy as TDW was, it did conclude with a brilliant cliffhanger and follow-ups in the closing scenes, Capt America, and Agents of SHIELD show that Loki is up to stuff with which Thor will have to deal. He’s sending Sif all over the universe on various missions, which would also include keeping her out of Asgard so she doesn’t figure out what is going on. Thanos vowed to kill Loki if he didn’t deliver the Tesseract. He couldn’t do that while Loki was under the guard of Thor and Odin but now he is free AND he has the Tesseract. Yost has some good material there. Let’s hope he does something good with it
Love Stellan Skarsgard! And running about naked and crazy is probably his natural state… 😉
@Isadora, to me, the fact that Stellan is a great actor and chooses very varied roles is just a bonus to the wonderful gift he gave the world in Alexander.
@Lilacflowers
Totally agree about Idris Elba. He makes being dressed up like an Oscar sexy.
@Abby_J, as only he could. Let’s get him some ice cream too. I really think we will be seeing them all in Thor 3 in fall 2016.
Oh man, I love all the Skarsgard men. So much. That is one gene pool I’d like to dive into. And yeah, Idris Elba really did bring the sexy to that outfit, didn’t he?
Yay! Another who believes Darcy should be bump off. Thor 3,should only take place in space, no more coming to Earth for Jane.
I love these threads and the ladies in it. Each time you come on there is almost something completely different.
Most posters on other sites would be annoyed now because we’ve strayed off topic again! Lol
I think is becoming a tradition going off topic. But I am particularly delighted on the directions that this thread is taking. Much healthier than other “off topics”.
Thank you ladies for keeping it so much fun and interesting.
I agree. We may not always see eye-to-eye and there have been some pretty heated disagreements and speculation that goes a bit over the top at times but for the most part we keep it respectful. I don’t think that makes us nannies or believers in the whole Prince Charming thing. It just makes us decent human beings with a common interest that we enjoy talking to each other about as well as various related and unrelated things!
@janeite +++++1 agree gossip should be fun and we are having interesting discussions here. I have no interest what so ever being a cyber bully or being in a “mob” mentality. I do not have to know a person to have respect and kindness towards them. None of us on here are hiding behind an anon post…..
It’s quite pleasant I must say.
@joe spider……glad to know the director wasn’t behind that!
Honestly, I’m going by what I actually saw in interviews, not second hand reports. He came over to me as being royally p****d off at what, presumably, Feige had done with the editing. He was also very complimentary about Tom and his abilities as an actor in general an Loki in particular.
I understand too, that Joss Whedon was also brought in late on to write some added scenes.
Lets hope if there is a Thor III, the script will be better written and the editing a 100% improvement. It must be very disappointing to the actors to have their work end up on the cutting room floor.
I think Taylor implied that the script wasn’t even finished…just the storyboard. They relied heavily on improvisation, Joss Whedon rescuing scenes, and even Tom to write his own scenes. I too hope they have the script completed BEFORE shooting. I’m glad Thor 3 doesn’t have a release date yet. I hope this gives them more than enough time to develop a better story and script.
Oh, to have a producer’s job! To wield that kind of power over a production that required so many other intelligent, creative people to create. Still, if it was me, I hope I would give more deference to the director’s vision. Everything that is filmed is the director’s baby, so to see them cut must sting like crazy!!
Sounds like they seriously screwed up in pre-production. Thought Marvel was more serious a studio than that! Eh, you never know…
methinks Lara Pulver has a wee crush on “hiddlebum” https://twitter.com/larapulver/status/482191804326871040
Oh my!
I have no comment on the tweet, but for some reason she just really annoys me. I think it’s the way she talks?
Welcome to the hiddles-train Lara! 🙂
LOL! I think they’re friends in real life, aren’t they? I haven’t seen a whole lot of her work but I have seen a few episodes of that DaVinci’s Demons show that she was in and I liked her in that. She certainly looked gorgeous and her costumes were works of art.
Just a pity the programme is so daft! But perhaps that is just me – I gave up after three episodes.
Now sorry to be ignorant, but a question about twitter.
Because she hashtagged #twhiddleston, would he pick that up, and how. How if at all would it appear on his twitter and can you hide tweets from other people.
Please excuse my ignorance on this matter. 😳
ps I love the Suarez comment. 🙂
It will appear in his notifications. If he wanted it to go on his feed, he’d retweet it. I’m guessing his PA has access to his account as he must get sent so much stuff every day that his notifications must be overflowing. Unless he’s set it up so he only sees certain things. Dunno if you can do that. I’m not too much of a twitter genius.
