Even though I was tardy to the Dragonfly party, I never really thought of Tom Hiddleton as The Sex. He’s sweet, he’s charming, he’s like an overeager puppy. His sexiness comes from a place that seems almost wholesome and romantic rather than rip-off-your-clothes-and-throw-you-on-the-bed. But maybe I’ll have to rethink that.
Jaguar launched a new two-and-a-half minute commercial from their #GoodToBeBad series that featured Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong in the first wave (Benedict Cumberbatch is also doing voiceovers for the campaign as well). But this commercial is all Hiddles. And it’s rather… sexy? That can’t be right. His voice is like butter, his suit is great and he’s not drinking tea in a helicopter, for the love of God. The commercial starts out with Tom listening to a recording of Richard II’s “this royal throne of kings” speech in his Jag. And then it just keeps getting better:
True or false: Tom Hiddleston cries when he recites Shakespeare? Seriously, I’m asking. Is he crying in the end of the commercial? Are those tears of villainy? Or are they tears of happiness because he gets to recite some Shakespeare?
One other thing: anyone got the ID on that bag? That bag is fabulous. A perfect carry-on. I also think we’re supposed to believe the bag contains money and/or a human head.
Here’s the full Richard II speech:
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England

Tom is too dorky and try hard to be called sexy. Cute maybe though I can’t really see him like that as I was introduced to him as a puddle haired detective in wallander. Nice voice though.
He’s a sexy cheeseball.
haha spot on
Yep, spot on!
He seems like a really sweet guy but I’ve never found him sexy.
Agree. Every time I see him, I think of the lucky charms leprechaun.
Me neither. I’m starting to think he’s the UK answer to Bradley Cooper: no substance, superficially glossy, sounds as if he’s “play-acting” all the time.
Now imagine this commercial done by Cumberbatch, or even Hiddleston’s erstwhile Jaguar ad compatriot, Mark Strong. Yeah. The difference between men and boys, real menace and pretend menace.
Oh you mentioned Mark Strong… I am melting already….
Wallander was where I first “discovered” Hiddleston – tuned in for Branagh (frankly, much more age appropriate crush for me) and because I’d read all the books – thought he was absolutely adorable even with the “puddle hair.” Oh, I think he is very sexy.
The absolutely adorable, always exasperated Magnus.
Sealya, it’s ok. I really like Ken Branagh as well and in my case Hiddles is much more age appropriate. But I mean.. both are great, it’s not our fault.
He seems very lightweight. Too lightweight for my tastes. To each her own, I guess.
Where is the James Franco story?
I bet he would be a cool guy to just hang with.
Try hard. Plus why is he changing his voice so much to sound sexy.
He got nothing on Mark Strong to be honest.
Just calm down darling. He looks and sounds amazing.
ditto times infinity 😀
Yes, he does. And a voice should never be a monotone; his definitely isn’t.
Oh yes. Completely edible. 🙂
The voice (accent) would be commissioned by JAG. They would want a certain “vagger” (voice swagger) and Tom as usual delivers what is asked of him.
Mark Strong’s voice is to die for (Sean Bean, I’m talking to you!)…
“vagger” lol
Sexy man, sexy voice and sexy car! Nice start to my day! 😀
Mrowr Hiddles! The guy is a cheeseball for sure, but he is sexy too! Those things aren’t mutually exclusive in the curious case of Tom Hiddleston!
A cheesy sexball!
Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin; but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever say in my life!
He is an enigma but a fun one.
He is also very cat-like when he moves. When I saw him in Thor, slinking around a column, he reminded me of a panther. So Jaguar is an excellent fit.
Lilacflowers
Look, a baby Loki-panther xD

Thank you, Bice. That’s adorable.
Hiddles? A cat? http://i.imgur.com/yypLPR0.gif 😉
@Isadora, not exactly a panther, but very cute. Thanks.
What you said x 1000. Hot sexy dork.
Hiddles and The Batch in one day, both in Jaguars…does this mean if I buy a Jaguar they’ll come to me?
LOL, kind of like the whole genie in a bottle thing!
What exactly do I need to rub to get them to pop out (of said bottle)??!!!!!
Ahaha @SecretSquirrel, that made me laugh. Seriously, can we get a fund going for this?
I ask for a bloke and you give me TOM HIDDLESTON?
Imagine Mark Strong doing this ad?
Lindy…that would give me an eargasm
Strong would be much betterer. I don’t deny the Horny Helmet is sexy, but I want my bloke post.
Surely JAG is going to have all the gents from the original ad doing more commercials?? Mark Strong should be on permanent JAG voiceover contract. If they all got free Jags for their efforts, they will have to do more than one ad each to make it worth JAG’s while!
Mark Strong IS that car, everyone else pales in comparison, no matter how much they try.
yes but who wants a bloke when you can have Tom Hiddleston –
Does Fassy count? It’s his bday today?!!?
*wrings leaves in distress desperately trying to get this bloke thing worked out*
Don’t fret LadySlippers! Let’s ask Sixer to give us her definition of a bloke!
And happy birthday, Fassy!
Fassy is more of a bloke but – aside from a two-minute fever a few weeks back – he doesn’t melt my chocolate.
I’d say: Fassy counts. Happy Birthday!
Funnily enough I only realize now that we have the same astronomical sign. I don’t believe in these things, but in this case… (Aries is said to be explosive in bed hrhr..)
well one definition is “a man, often one who is considered to be ordinary ” so I would not step in on Fassy’s behalf too quickly as he is far from ordinary.
Of course we do need to look at what ordinary refers to and although I can comment on Tom’s behalf I am rather unfamiliar with Fassy’s attributes. Although I have to say he went up in my estimation after 12 years.
Ummm.. American here lol.. what exactly is a bloke?? Like a roughneck, manly man type of guy??
Yes. But it’ll mean something slightly different to every Brit you ask. Without doubt, NOT Puddletom, though.
In a context of appealing to the ladies, I’d say a bloke has a rather earthly sexual charm whereas Hiddles is more .. I don’t know. His whole physis isn’t that way. He has that slender, fine-boned British dandy look. And I don’t even begin with his decidedly unblokeish personality.
But back to the bloke definition. I always think of Lady Chatterly for some reason. She fell for the groundkeeper because she finally wanted a real bloke instead of the aristocratic fancy shmancy. For me that sums this word up quite nicely.
On the other hand I’m not a Brit, so maybe not qualified to speak about that. 😉
Actually, Isadora, that is perfect. Brownie points.
Agree Isadora. Being a “bloke” doesn’t necessarily mean uneducated or rough. It’s just “earthy”, comfortable with being male and getting your hands dirty if you need to.
My definition of “bloke” – Sean Bean.
Oh god YES.
I suspect there will be more ads with just Strong as Jaguar initially said this would be a six month campaign with the three in the original commercial doing several and additional actors, yes, plural, to be included later.
He does Shakespeare very well, no doubt about that. But as a “villain,” this is all cheeseball and ham. I don’t get “sexy” from this, but I am glad he is making a nice paycheck.
From the first moment I first saw him on screen I thought he was the SEX so I don’t need much convincing. Matter of fact I’m typing this with one hand.
TMI? I don’t care. I have no shame. 😀
Ah, I remembered to buy batteries yesterday so I am set to watch this all.day.long.
Completely agree, Tommy – goofy or not – is the sex. Put him with a Jaguar and it’s sex on a whole other level… oh dear – looks like I may need new batteries after all
(I never did have any shame)
I presume you buy Energizer Batteries then?
Such a pity that even battery operated appliances don’t have your endurance. Perhaps we should be calling the IOC to create a new sport just for you? (Well it’s really an old sport but not broadcasted)
However, you do have an unfair advantage….so perhaps not.
Jane my love. Always a pleasure to run into you on CB.
Solar power. The answer to all shexy timesh gadgets energy problemos.
PS: so I’m told.
@ LS – Give me some credit – the penultimate love of my life is driving a Jaguar while making a list of reasons I should want to mount him – beginning with “firstly.” Let’s examine those points, shall we:
– He considers a revved engine a goal to obtain
– He maintains (perhaps a little over ambitiously) he will take charge
– He accepts a suitcase full of heads and puts them in the trunk, presumably to become a centerpiece on his villianesque super long banquet hall table
– BESPOKE SUIT
– Takes out a Porsche with a pen and a sprinkler
– He knows that flipping a switch changes everything
– Quotes Shakespeare slowly while racing up a speedway
and then he admits he owns England; it is as if this damn commercial was written expressly for me.
And yes, the fact that things keep breaking when faced with my endurance is dashed inconvenient, I will grant you that.
@ICM – I always keep an eye out for you, my favorite spot of color.
@Sixer – clever girl. I shall look into that immediately
The list of reasons is divine. For me there could have been a few guns too. I can never resist the combination of tailored suits and guns. But I can let my imagination play and pretend there’s a Glock in a shoulder harness under said suit.
Are any of you thinking about that “button” he is pressing that will change everything as being something else??? Sex in a JAG?? Sex with a JAG more like!!
LadySlippers, we just contacted the IOC yesterday for the sport of hot tea drinking. We need to wait a few days before we advocate for another new sport. Perhaps we could contact the X-Games instead about this new event?
A friend of my husband’s drives a Jaguar and I always laughed at the fact that he is over60 and for me Jaguars are old men’s cars.
Must shut the F up next time lol 😀
@secret squirrel
yes, i thought that too. it is definitely a euphemism
I think this advert is selling Jags to the women. If i could afford it, Jag has just sold me a car.
Agree ‘p’enny. I want one of these cars and I don’t even like to drive all that much! Oh to hire a JAG for a day and just cruise around town, waving to the peasants (knowing I will be one of the peasants again the next day).
yes same here!
Yes, to both questions. He does sexy pretty well when he’s acting, but when he’s being himself (well sorta) he always has the element of cheeseball. Which is aok with me.
I totally agree with this.
To me he’s really irresistibly sexy only as Loki.
Jaguar is definitely trading on Hiddleston’s Loki character as the hook for the commercial. I find it interesting they would used a villain that was curb-stomped by the Hulk in “The Avengers”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YStUg14_23o
Not the picture of suave, sexy, sophisticated villainy. Just an overgrown brat with daddy issues and a Napoleonic complex who took it out on an unsuspecting planet. The Hulk did a good imitation of Bamm Bamm Rubble. Loki had it coming and then some.
I’m not seeing Loki, tbh. Yes, Loki is a villain with daddie issues and maybe a Napoleonic complex, but he is – for me – first and foremost a comic villain fighting against superheros. The whole script (with all the comic relief and next to none really cruel or shocking scenes), aesthetic and fight scenes just scream it. There is a bit of insanity (“Loki is beyond reason”), quite a bit of hyperbole and a lot of fun involved. Loki is a villain for the whole family, so to speak.
I think the Jag ads rather show your typical Bond villain – craving power, yes, but also very stylish, on the edge, using high technology. And I wouldn’t necessarily describe all these villains as “beyond reason” – a lot of them are highly intelligent, cunning and showing sociopathic traits. The same qualities are what makes some business men highly efficient and successful.
I don’t see Loki either.
I think he’s channeling a caged jaguar….very apropos considering the context.
😉
I loved the taking out of the Porsche with a pen.
he was channelling Loki-look in contemporary-wont get-sued-by-marvel-way in the first advert, and that was why it didnt work for me.
BUT HERE! pure Hiddles, all the way 😀 including his Coriolanus side smile… give me more.
But Loki was a good bad guy in Thor. No?
Avengers was too much yes.
@aquarius64, the Hulk also took out a fighter jet while it was mid-air so even an Asgardian wouldn’t stand much of a chance. Loki in Thor 2 is all sexy swagger when they arrive in Svartleheim and he tosses Natalie Portman around and then kills four elves with just a dagger before saving Thor from Kursed.
Loki roughs up a woman – wow, that’s husband material. WHAT’S SEXY ABOUT OFFERING UP A WOMAN TO AN ENEMY WHO WILL LIKELY BE KILLED ONCE HE’S DONE WITH HER? And no matter how skilled a fighter he is, or that he “saved” Thor, at the end of the day Loki is a self-serving b@stard who will go to foul lengths to get what he wants and uses his sense of inadequacy and not belonging as justification for his CRIMES. The whitewashing of this character by his fans is amazing, greatly in part the appeal of the actor who portrays him. Thor 3 should be interesting – if it comes out Loki killed Odin to take the throne it’s a wrap for the God of Mischief. Regicide is an irredeemable act; and Asgard would definitely rise up against Loki. Even if Odin was held hostage, Loki is done because he took the throne illegally. No way Odin would give the crown to Loki after what’s he done. And Odin and Thor will not spare Loki the ax this time.
Aquarius64, you do realize it’s a childish comic Hollywood fantasy? It isn’t real, calm the f down man.
Also, I had to LOL hard at the “regicide is an irredeemable act”, ahahahhahaa, oh really? Is it? Not to me, I’m not a monarchist, tear them all down I say.
The thing about Loki is the thing about all hot villains: they don’t play by the rules. Yes, they betray, kill, maim and are general assholes. But they do so because they can – they are free from any morality or laws that the hero is bound to. He’s a rebel like good ol’ Lucifer – and I mean even John Milton got more thrill out of that than he probably should have.
I guess this kind of freedom always appeals to people and on a sexual level maybe especially to women because, again, a villain has no boundaries – which means also no sensual boundaries. Someone who raises hell like a good villain is not percieved to go all tame and boring in the bedroom.
And Loki is esp. good for this kind of thing because he enjoys the perks of being a villain plus he has this tragic backstory and probably a kernel of good left inside him so he’s potentially redeemable. And women love to imagine themselves to be the ones to see or bring out the last bit of goodness in the fallen angel. That’s as old as literature.
Isadora, excellent analysis!
(I can totally see Loki throwing me up against the wall, chains and all, oh yes)
Not to mention the whole bad boy rebel type has been sexy since forever, why are people surprised?
Loki is naughty, playful, funny, smart, resourceful and powerful. Of course it’s a turn on! Not to mention the whole hidden inner turmoil. He’s complicated and interesting. Meanwhile Thor puts me to sleep, his looks and the occasional hints of humor are his only redeeming qualities.
I’d like to add my two cents here. I think the appeal of a bad boy to some women is also to do with being the one thing he would die to protect. For all his faults/irredeemable qualities, imagining there is one woman that Loki could love and would fight/kill/die for is hugely appealing. Can’t tell me there isn’t hundreds if not thousands of women who haven’t pictured themselves in that very role (imaginary as it is!).
A lot of women fall for men in jail for the same reason. The feeling of having someone so dangerous who would not hurt a hair on their head is a kind of power thing also I think.
As a fantasy, it can be appealing. But the reality is dangerously troubling. I have seen comments online that say things like. “Loki (or insert name of random fictional bad boy of your choice here) has ruined me for other men.” And the scary thing is that I think they mean it. Pining for some imaginary ideal while disregarding real, decent, flesh-and-blood men is not a good thing. And real-life bad boys never live up to their fictional counterparts. Too many women figure that out the hard way.
@aquarius64, husband material? Who said anything about husband material? And in the film, that particular woman, Jane Foster, had agreed to the manner in which she was to be handed over precisely because only Malekith could remove the aether, which was killing her, and the manner in which she agreed to do it was the only way she had a chance of not being killed. As for confusing the character with the actor, the actor brought the hair tossing, nostril-flaring, stare-down, swaggering sexiness to the role and the actor made the scene work. As for “regicide is an irredeemable act”, by the time they get around to making Thor 3, both of the previously unknown actors who started in Thor 1 will have reached the end of their contracts with Marvel, will want a great deal more money to come back, and will have well-established careers outside of the Marvel universe.
@ aquarius64
“Loki roughs up a woman – wow, that’s husband material. WHAT’S SEXY ABOUT OFFERING UP A WOMAN TO AN ENEMY WHO WILL LIKELY BE KILLED ONCE HE’S DONE WITH HER?”
For the sake of justice: Thor and Loki devised this plan between themselves so that Malekith would extract Ether from Jane (I am not sure they let Jane into the plan by the way, I had an impression she was clueless). Loki was supposed to treat Jane roughly in order to trick Malekith into believing he was an enemy of Asgard. Thor knowingly allowed Loki to toss Jane around because this was the only way to save her. Does this make him a bad guy, too?
However, agreed about what kind of character Loki is and the inappropriateness of excessive Loki whitewashing by fans. Still, even Thor did a bit of Loki whitewashing at the end of The Dark World 😉
Thor always does Loki whitewashing… I mean, how many times did Loki try to kill Thor? I would be rather pissed after that.
On another note I think Loki was quite nice to Jane, everything considered. Yes, tossing her around was for the show. And he is frequently sarcastic/uncaring in his remarks. But in the end he defended her life in Svartleheim, not just Thor’s. I would honestly have thought he would find a way to get her killed in that battle, just to bring Thor grief (and he would still have gotten his revenge for Frigga). There are really just two reasons for keeping her alive:
1) He actually meant it and likes Janes. Or Thor and therefore his girlfriend.
2) He had already his plan in motion to get rid of Odin and thought that a living Jane would go back to earth (not really a given, imho) and Thor with her (also doubtful), therefore not taking the throne.
Option 2 would be more in character, but there are so many loopholes and backround workings that we don’t know, so it’s difficult to say.
@Isadora
Yup, Thor indeed forgives Loki a lot.. I rather meant he whitewashed Loki’s throne-craving at the end of TDW which was kinda new and partly justified Loki occupying that throne in the end instead of Thor.
I actually think it would be pretty much in character for Loki to act based on BOTH options. He still loves Thor, it seems obvious from his actions – as much as such a person can actually love – and he’s also scheming to the bone.
I am not a big fan of either of Thor films – mainly due to lousy scriptwork, the characters are what saves these films for me – but I am still hoping Marvel will get its shit together and will produce a decent script for Thor 3. TDW left off at an awesome place – just use it, ffs!
“The feeling of having someone so dangerous who would not hurt a hair on their head is a kind of power thing also I think.”
Yep, brilliantly put Squirrel, I totally agree. It is a power thing. Power is what women are mostly attracted too, in all its forms and incarnations. Someone who’s strong enough to protect you and yet he’s still under your spell, he listens to what you tell him (because he wuvs you of course, and you’re special).
And everyone who’s mentioned Thor – yes, of course, it’s all his fault! Now I see it! That damned fool keeps forgiving his mischievous malicious brother and then we’re all sucked in! Someone spank Thor immediately.
Also, Janeite: “Pining for some imaginary ideal while disregarding real, decent, flesh-and-blood men is not a good thing. And real-life bad boys never live up to their fictional counterparts.” –> that’s an oxymoron – either you want them to get away from the screen and hook up with a real, flesh and blood potential abuser or decent guy, or stay in front of the screen and pine after safe but imaginary characters
Brits will p*ss themselves laughing at the advert but the corn will sell abroad. Shame the company isn’t really british any more. A fake british car with the fakest of actors. A perfect match.
@Betsy
I’m British and i love it. Ok the emphasis on Brit leaders is a bit OTT, for us working class Eastenders Brits, but for the American middle-upper class market, they’ll love it. That is what this adverts target. And i can’t help think, why not?
As for jibe about fake british car, name a brand that isn’t? Mini-German, Dyson-China, M&S? hah! not a UK clothes manufacturer in sight, unless its a sweat shop. The state of British manufacturing industry is a fecking mess. Jaguar may be in hock to China but it is still has a British heritage and that is better than nothing. Until people go to the shops, and start refusing to buy anything not Made in Britain, it won’t change. So buyers need to put the purse where their mouth is.
As for fakest of actors, nah! he is pretty constant with his personality, whether it’s annoying or nice. He is, what he is.
Actually Jaguar is owned by an Indian Company Tata Motors.
Are these ads actually ON in the UK? I’ve never seen any. Or are they just cinema ads?
@sixer
The Power of Three – Strong, Kingsley, Hiddles has just aired in the UK on TV. But JaguarUK are planning a 2 min extension of this on the UK cinema before Capt America and another film, i can’t remember.
The new Hiddles sexy extravaganza is JaguarUSA, but i don’t know if its internet only or TV. Time will tell. roooar.
(I should remember that I record everything and fast forward the ads. This is probably why I remain in ignorance!)
lmao who pissed in some of the commenters’ cereal?
lmao it was probably you disguised as Icerose
lmao, Icerose can fend for herself, love. I’m a southern gal who likes some British meat. You don’t always have to come off so butthurt in every Hiddleston thread and accuse users of impersonating others 😉
firstly I don’t have to be butthurt because I really don’t give Hiddles so much importance in my life to even have any kind of emotion towards him.
Secondly, you posted a snark towards me (don’t even pretend that it wasn’t towards me) and I applied aptly.
“I really don’t give Hiddles so much importance in my life to even have any kind of emotion towards him.”
Are you sure?
Hey now kids…let’s play nice! CB is supposed to be a welcoming place, after all! 🙂
@Camil yea I don’t have hate or love for him. But I have extra love for some of his fans like Icerose and Jammypants (wait are they the same person???) 😀
“I really don’t give Hiddles so much importance in my life to even have any kind of emotion towards him.”
You don’t? Hate is an equal passion to love. Nothing wrong with that. But it is a waste of energy.
“Secondly, you posted a snark towards me (don’t even pretend that it wasn’t towards me) and I applied aptly.”
I did? Did I see a jammypants directly address a certain Abby some snarkery? I think you took it upon yourself to get offended by my offhand generalized remark, love.
I’m Spartacus!
No, *I’m* Spartacus!
No: you’re not the messiah, you’re a very naughty girl.
I’m Brian and so’s my wife!!!!
I am Sir Robin of Camelot.
Eh, you got me now…
Ha you ladies crack me up. Please do carry on.
Sings Brave Sir Robin and bangs coconut halves together
All I can think of is stuff from the Fork Handles sketch. Bah. I suppose the Two Ronnies is a step too far?!
@ Lindy79:
Oh, my god, Sir Robin’s minstrels are one of my favourite things in that movie. I love that they keep passive-aggressively singing throughout the movie but when they all finally meet, they’re all eaten. And there was much rejoicing.
P.S.: I can never thank you enough for posting that video (“Sit On My Face”) here on CB.
I love the minstrels!
His face getting increasingly horrified while they sing everything nasty he’s not afraid of
The way it goes into such randomness haha!
CHis head smashed inAnd his heart cut outAnd his liver removedAnd his bowls unpluggedAnd his nostrils rapedAnd his bottom burnt offAnd his peni…”
Sit on my Face is the cure to everything. Im convinced!
But he *IS* scared shitless of all those things. He’s the biggest coward of them all.
My cure to almost everything is still the stoning scene from “Life of Brian”, but I’ll be forever grateful to you for having introduced me to “Sit On My Face”.
Always look on the bright side of life!
“You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest….WITH….A HERRING!!”
Yes! Pythons rule!!
Well you lot can please yourselves, I thought it was a great ad and I had a big grin on my face from start to finish.
We don’t all like the ultra-macho, look how tough I am, types. Much prefer brain to brawn and if he looks good too, what’s not to like?
The ad was surprisingly sexy. I was not expecting that. I didn’t think the first ad was all that sexy. It was fun and sort of cute, but this one, woof.
such a compliment to have you impersonating me and with such aplomb-and I just feel so privileged and proud that my name keeps coming up in the conversation. First people telling me I should write my memoirs and now I seem to have managed an element of notoriety on a gossip site. Luke would be so proud.
Icerose, I’ve always liked you. I take that as a compliment. Like minds. People can’t bear to think that there are numbers with like minds. Imagine that.
Impostor! I’m Spartacus.
So are these (you liar):
https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/1216700160/h912A5C69/
Ha. I fart in your general direction.
Oh, please…your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Come back here and take what’s coming to you! I’ll bite your legs off!
NI!!!
LOL! If we keep quoting Monty Python’s lines this thread will never end.
Yes, but it’s been fun – and think, Eve, everyone else in my house is watching Chelsea LOSE – 3-1. Monty Python and the interwebz is the safest place to be for me.
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news (nah, I totally enjoy doing that when it comes to Chelsea), but it’s going to be really — REALLY — hard for you guys to win the second match by a difference of two (or more) goals.
Now go find myself a nice shrubbery. Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it beside the first shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
And don’t forget to find the mightiest tree in the forest and cut it down with a herring.
jammypants and icerose, I must say I’ve enjoyed watching the two of you impersonate one another in the past two days. Well done, both of you, even though you were unaware you were doing it!
@Sixer and Eve, Follow the Gourd!
Lilacflowers, I didn’t even have to try. Psst, a nice tip. If you share a common opinion with someone, you are actually that very person! Can you imagine the surprise? Fair warning, don’t share too many similar talking points or you might turn into me, who apparently has already become one with the Icerose. All it takes is one person’s wild imagination and bam! Lost identity forever.
Oh dear, jammypants, I think I already may have become one with you and your alter ego, Icerose, for I was snarked at for posting something similar to Icerose yesterday. Whatever shall we do!
“Of course they brought forth Juniper berries, they’re Juniper bushes, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?!?!?”
Okay, now I’m starting to think none of you exist and I am just communicating on this site with all of my alter egos…
Celebitchy and the doppelgänger mystery
Lilac and Squirrel, a lost cause. Being a fan of an actor *may* have involved sharing common interests and thoughts with other people. I mean who am I to assume otherwise. But I was wrong. We’re all Icerose. Was she in for a pleasant surprise 😛
@ Lilac:
I’m already a follower of the sandal, thank you very much.
Icerose is beginning to wonder if she has multiple personalities.If I start commenting on Bradley Cooper and Leo Decaprio posts please let me know and I will seek help.
Ah, icerose, I can assure you that you will not be commenting under Cooper or DeCaprio posts under this name. Indeed, my mother has forbidden the mere mention of one of those actors in her presence and she’s wishy-washy about the other. It’s all rather comical since she insists on seeing most of their films.
Isn’t that always the case? If you love OR hate something, you’re equally interested in it :p
Damn! I can’t see it! I am at work, this really isn’t fair….
I really hope this makes up for the ‘cup of tea’ stuff, I think he was badly utilised in the last advert. It was so wrong. Evil Shakespeare, yummy. They have used Tom to his full strength. He looks so sexy from the freeze-frame. I am so excited for this.
Just one question, just when and where the hell did he film this? its no wonder he has gone quiet. And, it doesn’t come as a surprise as he just started following Jag UK and the US -led advert was on British TV I believe last night. And now this! Crikey.
Looks like it was filmed in London, the last one certainly was, and I would guess last summer/early autumn
Its MUCH better than the first ad.
The hair isn’t as dark and his suit is better too.
He had the dark hair briefly last July (it was dyed back early August), looks around the same time as Wimbledon, thinner as well.
must have been around the Coriolanus time-but yes shades of Loki and Bond with a dollop of Shakeapeare works for me.
it makes me want to se him in Richard 111 or as Iago
I’m still rooting for Cumberbatch as Iago. 😉
Yes I think Cumby would do a great Iago.
Didn’t Hiddles play Cassio in 2008? I would have loved to see that production. Ewan McGregor as Iago would have been really interesting and Chiwetel as Othello.
I would guess it was filmed around Coriolanus, yes… Actually, I think his voice sounds a bit hoarse beyond the usual voice modulation for the role, which would fit with the strains of the play (I mean… there was a lot of shouting involved).
And yes, I have to agree, I like it so much more than the last one. For me Hiddles in the helicopter was a tad too… hm… I don’t know. I guess I saw too much Loki in the last advert and now it’s more Bond villain which I love so much more. And Shakespeare. I approve.
Yes lots of shouting and throat infections-I did wonder if his voice would ever sound the same.
That’s Shakespeare for you-so many different Iagos and Hamlets to enjoy.I am still waiting for Whedon or Brannagh to film Hamlet with Tom. I would actually like to see Sean Bean have ago at Richard 111 in the next Hollow Crown series but he seems intent on filming Macbeth.
Maxine Peak is doing a female Hamlet this year and I am tempted to head north to see it.
Richard the Third died aged 32 in battle, i don’t get all this putting older actors into the role. Am i missing something?
Maxine Peake is my kinda woman. I LOVE her. I saw she was doing a female Hamlet at the Manchester Exchange only a day or so after we were last talking about gender swaps and Shakespeare. Is that why there will be no more Silk, icerose, do you know? Her attachment there for a while?
“I saw she was doing a female Hamlet at the Manchester Exchange”
Oh wow, that is amazing!! I’ve always wanted to see a female take on that part, I’m so pleased to know they’re actually doing that somewhere!!
Now I want a film version of Hamlet with an actress in the lead.
I think it’s more Hamlet themed than the actual play, however.
@Kelly: There you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amib242_IL8&list=PL3BB9F1B089C539DA
It is a German 1921 adaption of “Hamlet” with Asta Nielsen as Hamlet. It’s not exactly the Shakespeare play (well… it’s silent, so it can hardly be) but I think it’s a rather interesting take on the story. And Asta Nielsen is a legend.
@icerose, when Branagh was promoting Jack Ryan, Shadow Recruit, he said he was hoping to direct a theatrical version of Much Ado About Nothing with Tom soon.
oooh….wow… I want!
Hm…. Tom once said that Benedick would be his dream Shakespeare role, didn’t he? I wonder if there was already some planning underfoot.
@Isadora, not sure. Yes, Tom has said that several times but, in one of the interviews I saw (there were at least three in which he talked about), Branagh was saying that enough time had past since his film version for him to work with the material again and he then went on to say that he wanted to work with Tom as Benedick on it because Tom can do comedy well, so not sure how long he had been thinking about it.
Isadora, thank you for the link!
I admit I’ve never heard of Asta Nielsen (what a cool name!) so added bonus to my lame education 😀
You’re welcome. 😉 And tbh I think most people have never heard of Asta Nielsen. She was THE thing back then, but well… silent films aren’t exactly all the rage nowadays. The first time I ever heard of her was at University and I’ve been a bit of a fangirl ever since.
feb 15th -its been spotted a film clip board on some outtakes-so two days after
I loved that ad, especially the very beginning. That is one of my most favorite Shakespeare monologues. And the music playing in the background during it was gorgeous…although I can’t remember what piece it is. Anyone else recognize it?
And I don’t think it’s either money or human heads in that satchel; it’s dismembered Sean Bean body parts.
Why Sean Bean -I can think of a few others I would like to see dismembered but I have a soft spot for him ever since he played a rather homely transvestite.
Hey icerose!
The Sean Bean thing is kind of a running joke from some of the other Hiddles threads. It’s just basically laughing about how he always plays characters that die horribly. Nothing personal against the man himself!
Oh, and here’s me thinking it was money!
It’s the tesseract! jajajaja
Nah, it didn’t glow blue!
The tesseract has to stay in the vault in Asgard or Thanos will come after it and will torture Loki, so no, not the Tesseract.
My vote is for blood popsicles!! LOL
Blood popsicles, packed in lots of dry ice because those could get very messy in the boot if they melted.
Here you are Janeite:

In case the link doesn’t work is it Elgar’s Enigma Variations No. 9 Nimrod.
One of my favourite pieces even before the Hiddles connection!
Thank you SO much, joe spider! The link works perfectly! It has always been one of my favorite pieces too. So, so gorgeous. And it fits in so well with that particular Shakespeare monologue. Sublime.
Why does Sean Bean always die come to think of it? Is it written in his contract?
Did anyone recognize who the voice reciting the Shakespeare at the beginning was?
@Lilacflowers: It was Edgar Wreford in the 1960 production of An Age of Kings: Richard II.
Thank you, Isadora!
Freshest example of a Sean Bean death reel joke is in Game of Thrones Honest Trailer (warning: SPOLIERS!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVaD8rouJn0
But that’s lacking his death in Patriot Games, isn’t it? He dies so often, it is difficult to keep track.
@ Lilacflowers:
“But that’s lacking his death in Patriot Games, isn’t it?”
But we do get to see the deaths of Sean Bean’s wife, Sean Bean’s best friend, Sean Bean’s son, Sean Bean’s daughter-in-law, Sean Bean’s family dogs and Sean Bean’s unborn grandkid. Fair deal?
Fair deal! I watched the Red Wedding episode with three people who had not read the books. I so proud of myself for not spoiling it for them – although one of them told me he wished that I had because he wouldn’t have watched.
@ Lilacflowers
I didn’t watch the last 2 eps when they came out so I recorded them and took them with me to the seaside. Mind you, I was completely clueless, didn’t read books and avoided spoilers. So, after a relaxing day full of fun and swimming and sunlight and chatting with friends I decided to make this day even MORE pleasant by watching my fav show before sleep…
I’m quite sad that it doesn’t look good for Sean Bean’s Macbeth movie. The kickstarter-funding is just too slow/people are not enthusiastic enough about this (which I really can’t understand). I haven’t seen him as Macbeth on stage and I would have loved this now. Plus he would be dying again lol. But alas… 🙁
Can’t fancy Macbeth with a Yorkshire accent to be honest.
And of course fassbender is doing Macbeth at the moment isn’t he?
Accents can be changed by actors. I don’t know if Sean Bean manages a Scottish accent, but I would love to see him try. 😉
And yes, Fassy is doing Macbeth as well *drooling* (with a French Lady Macbeth). The timing wasn’t perfect for the Sean Bean movie – on the other hand the plans for this project seem to go a long way back and I personally would love to see both takes on the character/play. But I’ll admit that I’ve got a real love for the Bard so I’m not easily overfed.
I was intrigued by the possibility of Bean’s Macbeth but with the Fassy film on the horizon my feeling is that it is a no go as well
I chuckled at the ever-not-so-subtle shade thrown at Porsche in that ad, insinuating that a clicky pen and leaky sprinkler was all it would need to take it out!! ZING!!
PLEASE JAG, please make this into a full on movie. Mark S, Ben K, Ben C, Sean B and Tom as villains taking over England (and then the world). There doesn’t even need to be heroes to stop them!!
Secret Squirrel, add Alan Rickman to that list. World domination would come very quickly.
Sigh! No, it is not dismembered Sean Bean body parts. Sean is alive and well and in the boot of another Jag with 3 other “business associates.”
Very sexy… only if I hadn’t seen him talking excitedly about … everything in real life. One of the reasons why some mystery never hurts an actor.
I think the talking excitedly about……..everything is soon going to be relatively a thing of the past. As the last few months have shown.
And I’d rather have him than someone who acts all bored with it all.
@joe spider – but he looks like a boy, a very excited teenager who loves to read and ride a bicycle. I can’t have sex with that!
What’s wrong with reading and riding a bicycle? 😉
Great well acted parts make an actor sexy for me anyway-the reality is never as interesting which is why I kind of like his mix of rumpled haired passion and enthusiasm and his snake hips.
It ain’t what you got, it’s the way that you use it
@icerose – oh, the snake hips!! (kneels immediately)
That boy has the mooooooves!
Tom Hiddleston’s snake hips are burdened with glorious purpose
+ 1
I’d say it takes the effort of an actor and equal participation of the viewer’s imagination 😉
That’s what I love about this man: He can be his happy puppy self, all smiling rainbows, he can be a tender lover in a period film, he can be a flirty douchebag, a disillusioned old soul (literally) and in this case a rather sexy Bond villain.
For me it’s still not rip-my-clothes-of-sexiness (but I guess he is always a tad too elegant to me for that), but definitely of the “let’s have sex in your Jag because we just made a few millions running our fancy crime syndicate”-variety. Oh yes….
@Isadora
Couldn’t have said it better x)
Re: commercial. First one with Strong&Kingsley was more straightforwardly funny and I liked it for that. This one is more quirky and sexy. Thanks to the OP for the heads-up!
@Isadora “not rip-my-clothes-of-sexiness” – yup! More like “i’m going to tell you about all the dirty thing I’ll do to you slowly that good boys aren’t supposed to do …”
@isadora I agree. He’s more flirty than smouldering. I don’t know what’s up with his voice. If he’d used his normal one it would of been sexier
The first time I saw him in person my reaction was elegance personified.
Sexiness to me is all about the interaction for me not so much about what you look like. There are lots of good looking men who just leave me cold but if they can flirt and interact with passion it overrides any issues about physical attractiveness.
@icerose – you actually saw him in person?! Nice. I believe you then. I’m more intellectual rather than shirtless inclined, so I believe you if you say he’s hot in that way.
@Isadora, maybe not rip one’s clothes off, but more like slowly peel off each article of clothing and examine each exposed inch of skin before moving onto removing the next piece of clothing. And then thrashing about wildly.
@Lilacflowers “slowly peel off each article of clothing and examine each exposed inch of skin” – reminded me of Daniel Day Lewis’ Archer from “The Age of Innocence” ;). The glove scene
Yep, I agree. It’s not primal, It’s the controlled physicality in his presence and voice that makes him sexy.
Watch The Deep Blue Sea. He’s the SEX. And I heard that’s also true for Only Lovers Left Alive as well.
Sadly, a lot of people here don’t like the movie. I adore the movie — and TH is damn sexy in it.
Confession: My heart was stolen by Simon Russell Beale though…
I dislike the FILM! How predictable I am.
I have SRB giving an acting class recorded on my Sky Plus. But (sorry Eve), Chelsea are playing tonight so I can’t watch it until tomorrow. Meh.
Love The Deep Blue Sea! Whilst it was Tom that made me interested in it, I thought pretty much all of the cast were great. It can be difficult to transition a stage play into a movie without losing the feel of the characters. This adaptation works for me!
TDBS is definitely on my list. I’m not sure I’ll enjoy the story, but I’ve seen gifs of him crying in TDBS and no one cries like Hiddles. It’s quite heartbreaking. And I like his clean-shaven dark-haired look in this film, brings out the eyes… hm…
Edit: Oh, here it is… oh…. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5y13zvz1C1qjemo2o1_500.gif
Kind of makes you want to slap him just so he will tear up a bit and then you can soothe him with a cuddle and a few “there there’s”…
Honestly, if he started to cry after I slapped him, I’d be done with him for good. Jesus that’d be a major turn off. A man needs some balls after all.
You haven’t been on the receiving end of one of my slaps then!
🙂
Besides, it could be a slap on the bare ar$e with a riding crop! That would sting a little (especially with my uncaged enthusiasm!). Sometimes love hurts (but its not always a bad thing!)…
I love that film-there is a gentle sexiness emanating from both him and Tilda which just draws you in and its witty.
Deep Blue Sea, not so much.
OLLA very very sexy.
as for tears, seriously, crying without fail in Coriolanus every night. no actor cries likes Hiddles.
I prefer Tom when he’s unintentionally sexy like in war horse or Coriolanus . Maybe that’s why I prefer Mark strong in theses ads
I adore a dorky nerd type, and if he can be as pretty as Tom Hiddleston, all the better. He could sell me just about anything. My husband, however, not into Jaguar. He muttered something about paying the mortgage.
I’d prefer him to read Jane Austen or Tennessee Williams to me, if we are being honest, though. Have you heard his reading of Kingdom of Earth? Very worthy of a YouTube search. The man can do accents for sure.
oh yes-the first time I heard him reading Kingdom of Earth I had only just noticed him and I was blown away not only by the raw sexuality within the play but by his reading. I would love to see him in some Tennessee Williams. He would b great in Cat on A hot Tin Roof-not another film but on stage.
” During his second term at Cambridge he was seen in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire by talent agent Lorraine Hamilton, of Hamilton Hodell.”
Can someone post the reading of Kingdom of earth? I can’t believe I didn’t know he did this!
Ellen, I posted the link below. Not work or kid safe, for sure.
Definitely XXXX rated Kingdom of Earth!
Bet he didn’t take his mother to that one!
Probably not. Likely left his sisters at home too.
I’ll just save you the trouble. 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ihRXQgwtKY
Thank you Abby. I might have to listen to that again. His voice is so….. 😉
Yes. Yes it is. Very.
My god that makes me want to clutch my pearls! How have I never heard that before?
JoAnn, I just stumbled across it, and it was amazing. Glad I could share the love.
Sexy Sexy Sexy!!!!
WHYYYYYYY can’t Cumberbatch do one of these?! The latest commercials he’s done only use his voice. I love Hiddles, but I would have had an actual orgasm if BC had been in this video instead.
Cumby thread is that way ——–>
😉
Actually, i think Jaguar are working towards this Benny meets Hiddles in villian show-off. It would cost them a fortune, but would be worth a fortune!
Haha, tumblr would crash. Would be worth it. 😀
Whaaat? I may be useless the day that ad gets released. I’d be too giddy to function.
“Cumby thread is that way ”
ahahaha, major LOL
(p.s. Miss Scarlet I agree with you)
But it ain’t gonna sell JAGS, except to crazy fans who will default by payment number three and have to give them back (smelling oddly of febreeze, old spice, Jameson whiskey and desperation).
Oh Cumberbatch could sell those Jags allright. Personally I don’t think he is sexy at all, but he is a great actor and he could do a mean villain.
‘p’enny, you make me smile!
It’s going to be a good day when you read a Batch AND a Hiddleston post. Happy Thursday to moi!
Yes!
😀
Oh my God, those hands! I need them! Why was this posted AFTER I went to work? It would have helped so much to get through the day.
Where is the story about James Franco looking for underage girls online.
What in the name of all that’s gossip holy?!
If this is cheeseball, pass me the crackers because I want some.
Pretencioius from beginning to the end, but nothing to dislike about, he IS sexy. My crush on him is over, still I felt some shivers in my stomach.
The Love Book app is a great way achieve eargasms, TH’s voice in this commercial and the purr of the Jag. Gawd. Hair is a bit too short. Love the Henry V look best.
This one is definitely not for listening to while in the office or mixed company, even though there are no “dirty words.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-Ea-92TMw&list=PLZi5CPH-TtQ1dZyHrcY_LTEXmW1oi8jYQ
@Lilacflowers
Oh wow. This is sooo sensual and classy. Thanks a LOT! This underlying gravelly purr in his voice.. Yummy! And I only heard The Red Necklace before! Looks like I was missing out on a whole Hiddleston audioverse 8D Will need to catch up on that because I’m an audio book fan (though no-one reads like Stephen Fry, I have to admit).
You are most welcome.
To each their own……not for me. He is a dork! There is nothing sexy about him and I am tired of hearing his name.
Well if you don’t go looking you probably won’t find.
Exactly… as my mother says, in spanish of course, “El que busca, encuentra”
And he is a dork, an adorable one 😉
I noticed the dissenters usually go looking.
I’m just now seeing this, and have to say it’s a lovely way to close out my birthday. I sure hope that overnight bag Puddle Tom threw into the trunk was full of handcuffs and velvet rope…..
Happy Birthday, Ncboudicca. May your dreams come true.
Date In which commercial was filmed and behind the scenes photos https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/therealmarky/13582080453/in/set-72157643331018295/
from the date and the fact that he was spotted in Canada before valentines day, I’m guessing it was filmed in Toronto?
According to his twitter he was still in London on february 16
Wow, so he filmed it after Coriolanus [explains the clean shaven look] and before flying to Toronto – but the scar/plaster, bet that is where he got his injury, bet he banged his head on those gantries or the car boot. LOL! but he couldn’t tell anyone. What a Villain! eheheheeee
Correction to my post above and I was reading up on this campaign, it was filmed in London the day before he left for Toronto. I’ve read somewhere else he had the injury on the last performance of the play.
@Roberta
must have been a fib. He had that plaster on for his trip to Canada, which must mean his injury was after Coriolanus. Because in that advert he would have a sign of an injury. He was wearing the plaster for the Elle interview and for the fan-selfie at Canadian airport. To wear a plaster for that long, must have been a nasty cut or a fashion accessory, which he could remove at will 😉
Didn’t someone open a door whilst he was bending down to pick up his bag or something?
Ok… now I see him banging his own forehead on that white Jag boot door while putting the brown bag inside. Lol… That’s something I would totally do because I’m endlessly clumsy.
The date of the filming fits with my hoarse voice guess. Yay. *dances*
I was wrong, he has the plaster on his forehead, in the behind the scenes photos. They must of airbrushed it out on film… LOL!
i can’t believe i am investigating plaster-gate :-/
Penny, Im doing my Sherlock act here….it was on Reddit, there was a poster on there who said they went to the last performance and insisted he had the plaster (the thread was about hospital treatment but appeared to be overblown) . I think he met up with those Elle fangirls prior to the shoot and according to those pics the shoot was on 15/2 so they must have digitally altered it in post.
Damn, those are some fine photos right there! He looks so tall in all of them, oh yeah

Think you’d have been happier watching SRB!
The director of the advert is, Mark Jenkinson not the same as the other one. Think its why it has a much different, yet much improved Tom feel. He has said, ‘Most talented actor have worked with.” He is on Twitter, and having a few tweets with Hiddles fans. Love the new Lego Loki, copy.
This advert is going to doing a storm in the internet world, no idea in the real-life world yet. I don’t think it will reach the 12million hits the last advert got on youtube. hehehee bu if youtube count multiple hits by the same person, I added a hundred to that hit counter last night.
‘p’enny, the first one was part of the Super Bowl and Super Bowl ads generate their own buzz, simply because of the cost to broadcast them and the huge viewing audience that watches the game. Businesses that analyze commercial marketing would repeatedly hit on a Super Bowl ad for study purposes and there are all sorts of sites that have people vote for their favorite Super Bowl commercial, which would generate millions of hits.
I know that hunny, @lilacflowers
penny, thanks for this info! Mark Jenkinson seems to have tweeted this thread here lol….
I knew he went to Canada around valentines day.
I totally agree that he almost certainly banged his head on the boot. He seems a bit like that and he probably was embarrassed.
Hey Mr Director.If you are reading this, Can we you include Fassy, Benny and Sean Bean in the boot in the next commercial? It would make a lot of people’s day. It would also be a bonus if Mark Strong narrates the commercial because his voice sounds of pure sex.
Tom’s voice in the commercial just sounds odd. If however he was speaking in the way in the Kingdom on earth I would be very happy
@Isadora
Mark J hasn’t? surely not? what has he done! not a good idea has he read what happens in this thread? LMAO hope he didn’t include a @twhiddleston in there.
Here it is: https://twitter.com/therealmarky/status/451690873152344064
And YES it seems he read what happens in this thread. lol
Ladies,
I’m new to the celebitchy commenting-party although I have been an avid reader for about two and a half years 🙂
But, I can’t just gawk anymore…
This fine English specimen has me wrapped around his little finger. I’d take a Shakespeare-citing, lanky runner over a bloke anytime, anyplace 🙂 (endurance ^^)
And, I would rip off his clothes and mount him in the Jag in a heartbeat 😀 Well, who am I kiddin’ – I wouldn’t waste any time to rip off all of his clothes – I dig a nice suit
Helllooo…
And Welcome , you are most wanted. 😀
thanks ‘p’enny 😉
Holy mother of god Viennacalling! You are straight in at the deep end!! Already thread-sexing like a pro on your first post!
Welcome!!!
🙂 well, I told you I’ve been an avid reader…
and thank you for the warm welcome
“endurance ^^”
Ahahahhahahaha, how true 😀
Welcome! 🙂 And I like your nickname hehe..
Hello viennacalling.
Love your introduction. you’ve set the standards high now.
You are hilarious!
God I love Hiddles posts. I enjoy him so much. And Love him, hate him, mildly indifferent the comments make my stressful days so much lighter!
@janeite – I totally agree. There’s nothing attractive about a bad boy because they always hurt you in the end. Women learn the hard way. And as for those drooling over guys like Loki, they would be the first ones to cry and call the police when he goes over the line. That “sexy swagger” is not so hot when she looks in the mirror and sees a split lip or a black eye, courtesy of Lover-bad-boy. Or worse, they would suffer in silence out of fear of being ridiculed for choosing a man that is a KNOWN b@stard. It’s scary to see women go overboard about a guy like that.
It’s a fantasy. Most women who drool over Loki are in happy satisfying relationships I would say – with the good guys. I also think that the fact that most Loki fans also love Tom Hiddleston is proof enough that their judgement is still okay, because Tom Hiddleston’s public image is the very definition of nice guy.
It may be a fantasy for some but I don’t think that’s true for everyone. And from the context in which I have seen those comments, most of those women are not in happy, satisfying relationships.
That’s his public image. In real life he might be a right dick 🙁
Back to the commercial. People are calling out that Hiddles should be the new bond. It would be interesting but he would need to maintain his Coriolanus weight and wear suits that fit. None of this figure hugging suits as he would be cattering for a whole new fan group.
🙂
So, a woman shouldn’t call the police if a guy hits her?
Errrrmmmmm…………….Loki isn’t real you know.
@joe spider, that has been pointed out to her several times on this thread.
Well we now all have to retract this – I kid you not but I was reading the Births Column in the Daily Telegraph today (for those in the states, one of the “psoher newspapers”) and a couple had put an announcement in for the birth of twin boys and were calling them Loki and Kai !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should they be told it should be Loki and Thor?
At least it’s not Loki and Kain. lol The “evil” twins, that would be.
On another note I really hope that they didn’t name their boy after Marvel Loki. That’s would be a bit strange in my book. So I like to think that the couple has never heard of those comics or films and is just a fan of Norse mythology, in which case the boys would have to be Loki and Odin (he’s not Thor’s brother in mythology). And that’s strange too tbh. 😉
What do you mean he’s not real?!?! HOW DARE YOU!!! Of course he’s real!! And he beats me up every night!! And I call the Asgardian cops and here comes Idris Elba to save the day. I love those times.
p.s. Loki and Kai? Wtf, they should’ve gone with Loki and Khan obvs!
Good one Kelly, took me a minute but I got there.
(dabs brow and fans self)
Sexy. Definitely sexy. I love a whip-smart, intellectual smoulderer with a velvety accent. This s**t totally works on me. A little Shakespeare, a fast car, a well-tailored suit…I’m ready to zip myself into my skin-tight pleather catsuit and join him in his world domination campaign.
