Here are some photos of Tom Hiddleston outside of the Good Morning America studio Friday morning. He must have flown in Thursday afternoon/evening to surprise the kids at the charity screening that night, then spent the night in a hotel (mm… Tommy in a hotel… perhaps picking up a lady at the hotel bar?), then got up at the crack of dawn to appear on GMA. Since I’m keeping my word about being nice to Tommy for one whole week, I have nothing bad to say about his outfit. It’s a smart suit, the blue suits him, and he looks tall and handsome. There’s no velvet, though. I miss the velvet. At least The Hiddlestongue makes an appearance. Since I’m being nice to him, I’ll also say this: I like how gentle he is with his fans. It’s very sweet. Anyway, here’s Tom’s 2-minute interview on GMA.
Tom is a master shiller. I could feel him wanting to go more in depth about Loki’s complexity, but he pulled it back because he knew he needed to be pithy on a morning show. Honestly, I can’t believe how quick that was. They barely gave him two full minutes! WTF? I’m mad on his behalf. If he gets up that early (remember the jet lag too) and puts on a suit, they should give him more time, and they should at least let him sit down inside the studio.
Also, the trailer for Only Lovers Left Alive was released. I guess this is the international trailer or the Russian trailer or something, because there are subtitles. Is that Cyrillic? Anyway, Tilda looks gorge, she’s so amazing. Tom looks… like a very angsty vamp. It’s not like my town even gets these little art-house films, but I might want to see this at some point.

Still can’t believe what I’m about to say: would totally hit that. Blame this:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/12178532153052ee4b82f327dd2bcc89/tumblr_mvm25ujwR71ra8x1ao2_250.gif
I felt dirty viewing that.
Would hit it every time. Blame – him being him. And, ok, that tongue.
Not enough Loki in Thor2. Actually, not enough Thor in Thor2. They should have just cut everybody and everything else, and made it into a buddy movie. Or, alternatively, make it a full-blown epic Thor and Jane romance. I want Jane to be Pepper to Thor’s Tony. He should die for her or something. And that shirtless scene was far too brief.
“Not enough Loki in thor 2”
Indeed.
“Actually, not enough Thor in Thor2.”
I barely noticed him.
“Or, alternatively, make it a full-blown epic Thor and Jane romance. “
No. Just no.
“I want Jane to be Pepper to Thor’s Tony. He should die for her or something.”
I just want Jane to die. What? That *IS* all. My god, what a useless character.
This.
Fine. Out with Jane, in with me 🙂
Better?
Of course. But Loki would still be needed (for me to give this movie a try).
Although, I’m already (more like “only”) considering a porn version of that starring you, TommyAnne and HAMSworth.
I’m disgusting (but you know that so you should expect something like what I said above, right?).
I vote for two hours of TommyAnne doing whatever he’s doing in that gif. He can wear the horns and leather cape if that makes him happy. And maybe Hemsworth gyrating in there with him every twenty minutes or so to keep Miss Jane, Anna and Marty content (he was on Strictly Come Dancing, so we know he’s got the moves). It actually also might energize CH more on the promo trail.
THANK YOU Fanty. Marty and I were getting a bit chilly being left out here in the COLD as Fire and Ice here walk away with our men.
Miss Jane,
Apologies in advance, but I’m going to keep throwing that thrusting gif in Eve’s path until she doesn’t notice me leading off Cumberkhan by his little linen cap.
“(…) until she doesn’t notice me leading off Cumberkhan by his little linen cap.”
I will NEVER not notice that.
@ J. Eyre:
Fire and Ice? *scratches head*
Dear Eve – I am not in the least disgusted, I am flattered.
Miss Jane – you know I will always share with you.
@T.Fanty- Thank you my love! As a token of my affection here is something to help ease Eve away, and ensure you get you CumberKhan afternoon delight.
http://thecinemafanatic.tumblr.com/post/65171593116
Marty,
That’s EXACTLY the look he gave me when he realized it was CumberKhan I was leading off for an afternoon of delight.
@Eve – “Fire and Ice” refers to you being Brazilian and Anna being Russian. I kind of already designed your complimentary outfits… and have kind of mocked up a few movie posters for your International Femme Fatale story.
@Anna – well, okay, just as long as you remember Marty and me. Because you have been kind of grabby with CHemboy these days.
@Fanty – Throw whatever you like at Eve. That’s is why I keep the leash on. One flick of my thumb and that retractable lead brings ’em right back to my side.
@Marty – oh dear, that was seizure inducing.
@ T.Fanty and Marty:
Locking (deadly) phasers on you two.
@ J.Eyre:
I thought it had something to do with our respective tempers. Was about to grab you by the collar and shout: “Why can’t *I* be Ice? Why? TELL ME NOW!” — then I realized that wouldn’t help my case.
You should already know by now, T. Fanty….. NOBODY puts the dragonfly in the cornor. Now think of him doing his solo stage dancing to “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life”. You’re welcome.
Dearest Miss Jane – can you blame me? Do you think I am capable of stopping, even if I wanted to. It’s delicious madness, I tell you.
@Eve- Lock away my dear! You come after my HAMsworth, I come after your overies. Don’t make me start posting precious Chris Evans interviews!
@ Marty:
Hey, you can blame your man for that. But let’s avoid that subject here, shall we? Keep things light and fun. Now, if he does that again…we can talk about it when (or if) it happens.
Speaking of Evans, my former CB husband, he has a delightful cameo in Thor 2.
Marty – since you are in the states like me, I assume you have not seen the movie yet either. Would you like me to hold Eve while you beat her with a wet noodle or would you prefer to secure her and I will flog?
Two against one? Not fair.
Could you use CumbAssange’s wiglet instead (of the noodle)?
EDIT: Skipping a premiere (answer to Marty’s question below).
EDIT2: Taking care of a kitten? You’re not saying that to placate me (on future posts featuring The HAMS possibly avoiding promotion) are you? Because if that’s the case, you’re not playing fair!!!
Eve- Huh? If he does what again? I’ve been away from CB for a week and a half and I’m already lost.
*P.S.- I missed all you ladies dearly, but the resposibilities of taking care of a kitten are never over.*
@ Marty,
Backtracking a little to ask if TommyAnne is Patrick Swayze or Jennifer Grey? I can totally see he and CH in a river, trying to pick TommyAnne up in “the lift.” Now think on that. And don’t even get me started on what I can do with TommyAnne saying “I carried a watermelon.”
CHemboy tell me you’re the mistress of flogging Miss J, so I’ll let you take the reigns on this one!
Oh you were talking promo stuff! I’m slow sometimes, please forgive me. Hemsy will be on my TV all week, that’s all I care about. I’m a thirsty fangirl Eve, please take pity on me!
And yes, we took our 6 month baby girl to get fixed. She did not handle it well at all! But she’s ok now, we’re getting her stiches taken out tomorrow and she’s currently curled up around my side.
@Eve – that was one of the best parts.
By the way, the theater (Eng-language!) was packed and on at least 3 occasions the entire audience erupted in cheers and applause. I felt like I was with my own kind!
What about meeeeeee, Tfanty?
T. Fanty- Come now, TommyAnnE is Baby through and through. Hell we don’t even need to put him in Chris in a DD movie, have you see those two?! I swear Tom is one interview away from taking Chris by the hand, looking up at him with those blue eyes and screaming ” But most of all I’m scared of walking out this room and never feeling my whole life, the way I feel when I’m with you!”…cue Solomon Burke.
I am with Marty – I think at this point Tommy is going to be the one showing up at the LA premiere with the baby-bump.
– followed by the questions of is it CHems or DUCs? Tommy won’t say and then we will all be left to speculate who the baby looks more like once it is born. Eventually CHem will marry him and raise the baby as his but the first time the kid throws its porridge at the television airing a Downtown Abbey re-run, CHem will storm out… or be “busy filming” as the press will say.
@ Anna:
Right? I wasn’t expecting that, I swear.
@ Marty:
Awwww…poor thing. Mine are already fixed, but Bartholomew had an urinary tract infection last week (I was worried sick).
I’ll see what I can do. I just want to reiterate that it’s never been personal — I believe that if you sign on that dotted line, you should try to do your best. I give no one a pass on that — nope, not even Cumberbatch would get one.
Whyyyyyyyyy … ?
Why.
Have you seen the poster of the vampire movie with Tilda, surprisingly hot, in a anime sort of way:
http://cdn04.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2013/11/tom-hiddleston-tilda-swinton-naked-only-lovers-left-alive-trailer.jpg
I have seen the film and they have a nude 🙂 scene he has a hot body
the film is just one long Tom and Tilda feast and witty to boot. Loki is sexy but Adam just melts your insides. I saw it twice and its even better second time around.
That whole Chatty Man interview was pure gold. I can’t believe he showed Tom pictures of mpreg!
He is growing on me more and more everday, like a fungus. I’ma just sit back and let it happen cuz that’s what Eve told me to do. I have however started watching Sons of Anarchy and Charlie Hunnam is growing on me too at a much quicker rate. A Tom Hiddleston/Charlie Humman sandwich. Oh my!
What happened?! This is a 180, Ms Eve. Color me surprised.
Learned how to appreciate the man for who/what he is. Stopped judging him for what cannot be changed (his try-hardness).
P.S.: He still should fire that creepy publicist, in my opinion. For the sake of his career.
Yeah, I get it. It’s the “you do you” mantra. I haven’t been keeping up with the going ons in these here parts, so this was a new (exciting) development.
That’s right, Eve. EMBRACE THE WHIMSY!
You big turncoat Eve, but I completely sympathise and relate.
@ Roberta:
I didn’t know “turncoat” was an expression there, too. It means the same here (“vira-casaca”, literally translated).
But I don’t think I’m technically that — I mean, I *DID* like him in the beginning, then his try-hardness started putting me off (I cringed every time I saw him, his tweets and his interviews), then I made the mistake of comparing him to other British actors, then I realized he wasn’t so bad, that his try-hardness was part of his charm (so to speak) so…I guess I’m at the “acceptance” stage now.
I have to clarify one thing though: I do like him in spite of some characteristics I find absolutely irritating in real life. So don’t be surprised if I criticize him/openly mock every once in a while.
@Eve Ah then turncoat was probably not the best description as you haven’t had a full 180 change in view. You’ve changed your mind, so to speak (is there a similar expression in Portuguese?). I followed a similar trajectory, couldn’t get enough of him at first then I wizened up, his fans in particular put me off (a common criticism I’ve found), his pr, then grabbing the mic off SLJ at the movie awards. He does something I like, then ruins it in an interview. I like him, his performances but in small doses.
@ Roberta:
So we basically share the same feelings (his Tumblr/Twitter fans got on my very last nerve — and he DID egg them on, still does). To be honest, there are Tumblr fans of Cumberbatch I really can’t stand.
But lately I decided he’s (TommyAnne) more on the “endearing” side, rather than on the annoying one.
I stopped expecting him to be like other actors (I admire). He’s a huge dork, and I accepted that.
Oh Eve, I adore you and your propensity for finding the best gifs/gifts. Humina,humina,humina.
You’re always welcome.
Eve- that gif would make a nun blush. I’m pleasantly surprised he can move like that. It’s giving me ideas.
I saw Thor 2 over the weekend and while i liked it very much, I have to agree with Anna – not enough Loki and not even enough Thor. For me, the ‘human’ characters Portman, Dennings and co. kind of took me out of the more epic tone the story and dumbed it down. Hiddleston was an amazing stand out and Rene Russo was wonderful too.
It’s giving me a lot of ideas, too. All dirty (but that goes without saying).
ETA: Oh, yeah…Russo — she was great. Hopkins was there to collect his paycheck though.
True. Hopkins phoned it in but I hate his character anyway.
He is flawless.He is like that best student in the art class that always wanted to impress the teacher.And I want to cuddle with him.And do other unspeakable stuff with him.
Can I please have him after you’re done with him? For a repeat of everything you’ve described?
Yes.We can brag about it to our grandchildren.
-Grannyyyy I got accepted to Yale !
-But I sh#$@ed Loki.
I would put that on my resume.
“It was a tough choice, Miss Eyre, but ultimately, well – you did shag Loki so we’re giving you the job.”
“It was a tough choice, Miss Eyre, but ultimately, well – you did shag Loki so we’re giving you the job…”
…Now, would you mind telling us about that particular experience? Please, make sure to be as graphic as possible while doing so.
Actually I would like sh@gging Loki (and Thor) to BE my job.
Oh yes, Ms. Eve. I can fill you in on every, icy, curved, pointed, buckled, leathery low-gravelly-voiced minute of metallurgy that took place. You may want to put a little ice in that water, though.
He’s growing on me. He looks good and his suit is a nice color on him. He seems like a people person, and enjoys being out with us peasants. That’s all I got.
Yeah, he’s growing on me too, despite the try-hard. I think he looks really good in that last pic, for example, and he does seem very nice with his fans. Hmmm, maybe I’ll jump on the bandwagon one of these days.
I really like celebrities who are generous with their fans and make it a point to take pictures, shake hands, etc., on the red carpet and other public events. I hate to say this, but it’s similar to how Tom Cruise works at movie premieres – he’ll shake hands and pose for pictures all day.
Put him on, wear him around for a bit, feel him against your skin, rub your hands over him, watch Eve’s gif a few thousand times – I promise you, everything will grow… to almost unmanageable proportions.
“almost unmanageable proportions” Oh dear, I just choked on my Nutella latte.
*Sweats at Jane’s suggestion.* I would manage it or die trying. Too much? 😀
But seriously, I just love how game Hiddles is when it comes to promoting his films. Just hope it doesn’t come back to bite him in the ass.
He is always looks so genuinely happy wading amongst his fans. Makes me smile.
…is he particularly known for his impressions? I don’t follow the guy – don’t really like him – but it seems like half the posts about him mention him impersonating someone.
Enlighten me.
yes he has been doing impressions since he was a kid and does everyone from Sean Connery in Bond to Chris Hemsworth to Anthony Hopkins to Kermit and Miss Piggy.. And he does a brilliant Jeremy Irons playing Henry IV when playing Hal in the Hollow Crown
Please can someone answer this question….. Asides from Thor and that film he made with Tilda does this guy have other projects? Cos I’m beginning to wonder what will happen to him after those movies…. I never understood the thing about him he doesn’t do it for Me sorry.
GOOGLE IT, HE’S AMAZING!
He was in War Horse, Midnight in Paris, and has a few projects coming up..
After Thor2 he’ll be in theatre with Coriolanus. After that he has a supporting role in Del Toro’s Crimson Peak. That’s it. Also, if you check out War Horse and Midnight in Paris, he played supporting roles in those too, so you don’t see him much.
He’s lovely, kind and soft-spoken in “Warhorse” as a British cavalry officer and has a couple of nice scenes with Moustachebatch. An embarrassment of britches, in Cumberspeak.
Awww thanks a lot ladies… Will check his movies out when am free by the weekend!
He is appearing on the west end in Coriolanus from the end of November till the end of January and it is going out internationally on live broadcast via the National on Jan30th.
In Feb he starts filming Guillermo del Toro ‘s Crimson Peak with Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain ,|Mia Wasikowska and Burn Gorman. It’s a kinky adult horror story.
I had been doing a lot of eye-rolling at what I’ve heard thus far about OLLA, but the trailer kind of sold me.
Plus, nekkid TommyAnne always helps.
It sounds like a totally arty-art-art film that all those aging nineties goth folks who used to hang out at Club Man Ray in Boston will eat with a spoon– and one that I will happily eat up. Yeah, I admit it. If it is pretentious, I guess I am pretentious. I have to say though I am less about TommyAnnE in OLLA than I am TILDA TILDA TILDA in all her glory.
I wish he would stop it with the impressions. They aren’t very good.
And yes, he does know how to promote. Good company man the whole way. I just hope he doesn’t drive himself into the ground because Coriolanus is just around the corner.
The Owen Wilson and Chris Evans ones are good, all the others (especially Samuel L. Jackson) are not.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for no Richard Burbage promotions on the Coriolanus marketing front.
I wish they would stop ASKING him to do the impressions. I find it annoying that interviewers and TV presenters fail to come up with something new and original.
I have seen it twice and its funny, atmospheric ,visually interesting and not what you expect at all, Its not big on story, More a tale of enduring love/soul mates. Tommy plays a depressed petulant musician and there is plenty of Tilda toy boy in it and older lover wisdom. I could just sit back and get lost in these characters.
@Fanty I saw OLLA at LFF and it’s beautifully shot, but also surprisingly very funny. I can completely recommend it.
Oh I was mad on his behalf also! I know he’s not the star but given his previous promotion for the film I’m miffed at his treatment for the US leg. First they gave him Chelsea Handler and then not only was it less than 2 minutes on GMA after 8.45 but with Sam (wait let me read this card they just gave me to find out who you are and oh, yes… Thor… OMG, you’re the Loki guy that Josh told me about who does that great Owen Wilson Impression, oh do that, Josh will looooove that) Champion. Josh Elliot did love that, he even gave him a hug. And that was pretty much that.
Tom was like a kid trying to get more words out but Champion was too busy reading off his card to finish up. Pretty much showed him the hand, sorry Tom, no more time, bye.
Unfortunately he’s just not a big enough name outside the internet to get big slots or talk shows yet. They’re really booking him according to his status.
That’s just awful. (You’re the Loki guy!) & I cringe at the thought of that viper Chelsea Handler anywhere near our Tommy.
I had never seen her before and wow does is she ever the star of her own show. But Tom stopped her in her tracks when he read out the Russian on her Tshirt.
That’s not Cyrillic in OLLA trailer, it’s Greek alphabet.
Was just about to write that.
Shit how hard is it to google something if you clearly don’t have a clue?
I know, right? Actually, I’m surprised that anyone would think that that was Cyrillic, considering the amount of bastardized use of the alphabet in Greek themed restaurants and Hollywood movies.
I’ve grown to love the guy
GUYS. Can we please talk about Tommy on “Chatty Man”? He was so adorably dorky and embarrassing.
http://youtu.be/CNKgkDQM8Wk
He’ll promote THE SHIT out of anything won’t he? I find this and many things completely endearing and a wonderful antedote to the ‘can’t be arsed promoting despite the fact I get paid millions of dollars’ brigade and there’s FAR too many of them to count. Yup. Team Hiddles all the way. He’s a delight. p.s: HIPS. p.s: BULGE p.s: LANK. p.s: massive HANDS+FEET p.s: eheheheh. :-}
Well, and you know what they say about men who can dance…
I have been talking about little else all weekend. If I could make heart eyes, I would.
Tom and Zack Levi had a quick dance off on the USA Red Carpet. Apparently they use to hit the dance floor together during filming .
Best so far though was Tom’s reaction to Benny’s Reedit AMA re cheek bones and”And imagining a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth nordic legend f*** fantasy. Get to work on that, internet”
“Benedict. That’s just asking for trouble, isn’t it?” Hiddleston says adorably. When he finds out the Internet has very much responded, he says, “Oh my goodness. That’s quite a mischievous thing to do. I’ll be having words with him about that.”
And I have to say Tumblir has responded to this as well
That interview did me in. I’ve been on the edge of fan-girling him but his eagerness to please has held me off a bit. But forget it. I might as well start posting Hiddleston gifs on Tumblr.
he out innuendoed chatty man if that is possible
I just watched it, and it’s a thing of beauty. AND SQUEE.
Also, could you (all-a-y’all) even IMAGINE how different the world would be with Hiddlestongue as Thor?
I would like to see more variation on the usual blue suit. Is it just me, or is his hair growing out? I hope he let’s his curls return. He really does look better shaggy.
And with facial hair. His look during a War Horse press conference is still my favourite.
http://tomhiddlestonarchive.tumblr.com/post/14245132176/tom-hiddleston-at-the-war-horse-press-conference
Must you do this again and again? That’s my Hiddles Kryptonite.
Yes, I must.
I love that one too, Eve.
The most handsome look. A good looking man is even more handsome with a beard.
Jesus Christ, Eve. Way to do me in over here. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
You’re all welcome, ladies. Note that there’s a link (on that post) to the full set of pictures.
He’s got the tounge out again.
Yeah I’d still hit that.
Hiddlestongue, hahahaha.
Never watched Chatty Man before, but it had me nearly crying with laughter at times.
Allan Carr is hands down the best talk show host ever.
So I am liking forward to discussing TTDW once spoiler bans are lifted. I have some provocative thoughts about the ending.
Did you see it? Did you like it?
Well, you didn’t ask for my opinion but here it goes anyway: I saw it, and I liked it.
Yes, I understood that when you posted the spoiler Eve.
o_O
What spoiler? Oh, my…if I revealed anything I shouldn’t I swear it was unintentional. My apologies.
Although, if you’re talking about my former husband’s cameo, I didn’t say when or how he does it. It’s really, really funny (and cute). I can almost guarantee I haven’t spoiled it (much) for you.
It doesn’t matter where or when, the Marvel cameo is one of the great Easter Eggs in film. You, as a professed Marvel girl, know that.
Sorry. My bad.
I adore the f___ out of him. Or do I want to f___ the adore out of him? I can’t decide.
I say go for the latter. TommyAnne will bounce back. Then you get to do it all over again.
Why not both?
I am fairly action oriented so I am going to go with the latter.
Ditto to everything you said, Kaiser. I love Tom Hiddleston. He makes me happy. Although it’s impossible to say for sure, I suspect that the private man is probably quite similar to the public one.
he is so embarrassing. I wouldn’t be able to stand to be around him. i’d have to walk away.
Man, I don’t have an issue with him promoting, doing his job,… but it’s weird, like I can’t say I like or dislike him personally because I just have no idea about his personality, he’s almost all media persona? I almost feel bad because he seems nice at least but has got this impossible image going where he just sounds ridiculous at times trying to keep up with it.
I think this can work to his advantage. Studios and film makers know that when they cast him he is going to give 110%. He has gone off the beaten path when it comes to interviews and he has shown he is gamed for different things. He has one franchise and so far has worked on smaller films and ensembles. He is never going to be a star but he can make a nice niche for himself as a character actor. Until there is a story that what we see is not who he is, this is who he is, a bit try hard and dorky.
I think it is still early days and his career has not really had a chance to develop as yet so we have no idea where it will go.Given a few good roles he may start winning more awards etc and that can make all the difference There are many A listers that cannot act and fade rapidly and many A Listers you would not expect to have reached that position who last. Ultimately it is talent that provides the key.
@Tiffany
Oh, I def think he can be a niche character actor and/or have a long stage career, but he (or his people, IDK?) seem to keep eying A-list HW status, which is a mistake, honestly.
the thing is, i dont think hes secretly a super terrible person or anything and I hope im not coming off like that? Hes just too fake for me, which i guess is what a try hard is going by google lol.
he wasnt this bad before so i feel like hes being mislead by who’s around him. you need ppl to ground you not get you buying into your hype.
I can’t imagine having to use so many cellphones/tabs to photograph myself and a fan. I will be always worried that I might break their gadget.
good point-but he probably has the money to replace them
OMG I saw the new THOR movie, and i just didnt wish to believe you. MY GOD WHEN HE TALKS,i just want to give him an elbow, somewhere where it hurts bad.Even in the movie, he got more lines this time…BORING….untill he kept quiet. Tom needs to ZIP it, @llll the time.Still would tho…
Just about all the reviews have said the film comes alive when he is on screen and the pre editing screening reviews said that they wanted more of Loki. He has pretty much provided most of the buzz linked to the film,
It’s done better than last time on the international about 106,000,000 and has broken records in China in the last two days which is a major market,
But there is no pleasing everybody
