This is basically the closest thing to p0rn around these parts. Here are some pics from today’s High Rise photocall at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. Considering the way yesterday’s photos were staged, I honestly thought that those pics were for the photocall, but nope. Those pics were just Tom Hiddleston arriving at the hotel in San Sebastian. These are the pics from the photocall, and they’re lovely. Something about Spain… it really agrees with Tom. It’s like he’s more attractive and suave in Spain, maybe? Is it the lighting? Is it his hair? I can’t decide. But these photos make me forget that Hiddles is actually a dancing bear who recites poetry to passing swans.
It’s been said many times before, but Tom is having one of those years where he’s going to be in our faces for several months as he promotes back-to-back projects. Benedict Cumberbatch had that kind of year in 2014, and Michael Fassbender had that kind of year back in 2011. That kind of year changes an actor, as they go from a cult-like fandom to mainstream. I’m not saying Tom doesn’t have mainstream success already – he totally does, although he’s not really a household name yet. “The Mainstream” knows him as Loki, not Tom Hiddleston. While Tom might not end up with any major awards nominations this year, I think the fact that he’s going to be everywhere for months will definitely change his profile. I hope he’s ready.
Oh, and Tom was the most-tweeted-about person/event/film at the Toronto International Film Festival. Tom was at TIFF to promote High Rise and I Saw the Light back-to-back, and he apparently broke Canadian Twitter or something. Which just goes to show… he’s more famous on the internet than in real life. That’s something Benedict had to deal with too.
PS… Sienna Miller’s dress is by Victoria Beckham. I like it, but that’s probably because it reminds me of Vivienne Westwood. I don’t think there’s anything happening between Tom and Sienna, by the way. She doesn’t go for clean-cut Boy Scout types and he doesn’t seem to go for party girls.

I love his smile (swoon)….
Tom Hiddleston: so dashing and so dreamy!
Would I hit it? Like a hurricane on the coast.
It’s ducks. Ducks, not swans. (If you’re thinking of that article where he’s on a rowboat with the interviewer) Although to be fair, he’s probably read to swans, too. And puppies. And his teddy bears.
teddy bears 😂
I know right!? Like the question “would you hit it” even needs to be asked. I mean…LOOK AT THAT MAN.
That was my first thought, H.F.
I really don’t know why Kaiser keeps asking us these questions about Tom, the answer isn’t going to be “no” any time soon!
yes
That girl is messing up the picture with that hideous dress
I actually really like the dress and would love those shoes restyled as sandals.
That dress reminds me of a picnic blanket
So scrumptious. Like a delectable scone with black currant jam….
Lick & bite delicious, he is.

I have to admit, I didn’t get his appeal for a long time but I’m looking at that picture of him smiling alone and I think I’m starting to understand. There’s an innate charm to him that’s really infectious.
I don’t know why but I’m having the opposite effect. I’ve loved Hiddles since Midnight in Paris, but lately I’m just not feeling it. I’m still super excited for Crimson Peak though
It happens. It goes in and out for me sometimes. Last year, I was actually productive because he went MIA and I didn’t crush as hard.
He’s even better in motion… and everyone who sees him in person says pictures don’t do him justice.
Really? *runs off to check youtube*
bread… Let me narrow things down for you:
Cookie Monster
Save or Kill
MTV Slumber Party
Comic Con 2013
Nerd HQ
Times Talk Madrid
Nutballs, that Times Talk Madrid – that’s the first time I really thought “God, he is one beautiful man” and having watched the Jeremy Irons interview the night before, I guess he thought so too. ☺
Mind you, that pic from ISTL where he is lying back in the car with the hat tilted forward…………………………
Ignoring the thought that the backseat shot is probably leading to Hank’s death…
That snap definitely gave me thoughts as to what I’d do when he’s in position. 🙂
Nutty–allow me to reassure you. His eyes look too open and it is both daytime and not winter (note green grass in background, visible through car window.). Does that help? 😉
I thought he looked a bit too healthy!!
@Bread, skip all that and just listen to him read “may i feel” by ee cummings. It is on youtube. Be sure you are alone. NSFW. Actually, the language is perfectly fine; it is poetry after all. But it is killer and just listening to him recite it leaves one a wreck.
Twice in one day! The flamenco performance on the veranda will be at 3. Then more tapas. The sangria is flowing freely. Tom loves Spain.
Sienna really needs to apologize for stealing that picnic cloth.
Hahaha! But the dress goes from daytime to picnic in just 30 seconds.
He does appear to look quite yummy in Spain.
I don’t trust Sienna’s motives for wearing that picnic blanket. What if she means to be found lying down, with tea, scones and cucumber sandwiches in her lap? It might be a cunning trap for someone very British, I’m just saying.
@ Ankhel
HAHA! Yes! It’s obviously a Tommy trap!
Yay! Siesta with El Señor!
Wasting her time grabbing Luke isn’t she?
hahha she is walking table – wish she get the hell of way from my boys!
It looks like she’s grabbing Luke’s arse in one of those pics + the whole, smug look-at-me aren’t-I-the-bees-knees look. No love, it looks like you’re wearing a picnic blanket.
Excuse me ladies (and gents) while I go get my man Tom from Spain 😉
50 ways to Sunday, Kaiser. Even more if Tom’s creative juices are flowing. 😉
My boyfriend is the bees knees!! He is just getting better and better…ah..I can get through this week on these pictures alone!
****, he looks good.
yes he ******* does.
I miss you!
Has anyone put his face on a chair yet? I need one, pronto.
You are so bad. (You’re cracking me up.)
Welcome, mimif. Dropped by to swoon and think dirty thoughts?
Not gonna lie, he’s kinda doing it for me here.
does a printout count? 😛
Hell to the no, Jammy. You know I take nothing short of the real thing. Especially after viewing the latest CP gif on twitter. I will accept no substitutes.
Pardon me, I must go take a cold shower before I start my workday.
Good interview in Interview Magazine about ISTL, HR, and working with Ben Wheatley and Rodney Crowell.
interviewmagazine.com/film/tom-hiddleston-tiff-2015#_
Yes, that was a nice interview
heh! 2.1 billion people have social media accounts!
And there are 3 billion active Internet users
Internet famous isnt a bad place to be.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes, she said, Yes, I will, yes.
Bendy & Hiddles being more famous on the internet than in real life – well, welcome to 2015. In this day and age, that actually counts.
I don’t remember the last time I bought a gossip or celebrity magazine. I find everything online (and both these men are there galore). I get my news from the internet because all our magazines have internet editions. I learn about new films on the internet (where both Bendy & Hiddles are heavily promoted). And I’m not even from the internet generation!
Sure the problem occurs when fans also get films online instead of going to the cinema, but the movie market has changed quite a bit since I was a kid. Back then you HAD to go to the movies to see your star (videotapes came out much later). Actors in general don’t draw crowds of fans to the cinemas anymore (AMC were discussing this a lot last year). The action, the effects, the fancy pictures do – the things you can’t fully experience at home. But men and women – no. The time of the big names is passing.
So internet fame is the new big thing. It seems odd to us oldies but the new generations will possibly only know that. And studios are aware of it, too. So Bendy & Hiddles are in a better place than you give them credit 😉
Not when you mean business where “the oldies” are in charge. It still doesn’t count for much which is obvious if you look at the most desired by producers names to put first on the poster.
I know everyone will hate me for this but I ship a dirty affair between Tom and Sienna so hard. Like, just a month of raunchiness and photo ops.
While I take Sienna dress shopping, and perhaps to the hair salon if time allows, I plan to pick her brain about TH and Hunnam and why not, Daniel Craig too. That girl has dirty knowledge I want shared.
Don’t forget to stop at the unmentionables counter when you take the girl shopping. Has she not been introduced to the concept of a brassiere, perhaps a tasty pasty or two, something…anything.
I thought the tablecloth dress was bad enough, but the flesh colored satin number she wore to the actual screening was actually worse imo. I think she’s looked like a hot mess in the last 48 hours, which I guess is not much different than how she’s looked for the last two years.
@Dara:
Ouch!
And i never understood why the british press called her the ” it girl”.
Nothing happening between Sienna and Hiddles? Nothing but tea and crumpets! (She said knowingly, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more).
judging by his romp onscreen with her, I say go for it!
If he’s eating her biscuits, I may have to hate her.
he…………………………………………………………gets a serving of crumpets
By the looks of things at that press conference, so does she.
Heh, if Sienna wants him, she will have him, and I can’t stand her but truth is truth.

Like I said upthread…
Great minds and all that!! 😀
Forget Tom Hiddleston. More Luke Evans, please!!!😍
New suit! Honestly, though, I’m not crazy about what anyone is wearing for today’s HR premiere.
https://twitter.com/LukeEvans_News/status/646434151726387202
Well Tom’s is fine, Sienna looks as if she has her nightdress on and Luke’s looks a bit spivey. But then I don’t like loud check suits.
Tom’s suit is well-fitted, as usual, but it’s kind of boring after the display we saw at TIFF. Luke is more adventurous and usually dresses well, but I think this suit is too much. No comment on Sienna’s dress, although I will say I actually really like her VB dress pictured above.
I liked his casual wear from yesterday and this morning much better.
It’s probably best that I just take it off of him.
Just in case there were any doubt (HAH!)
I would hit it on a boat.
I would hit it with a goat.
I would hit it in the rain.
I would hit it on a train.
I would hit it in the dark! I would hit it in a tree!
I would hit it in a car! I would hit it–let me be!
I would hit it in a box.
I would hit it with a fox. (Well, yes….he is.)
I would hit it in a house.
I would hit it with a mouse.
I would hit it here or there.
I would hit it ANYWHERE!
sigh. Signed, TeeBee’s poor overwhelmed libido, still attempting to recover from the 20 seconds or so of The Night Manager in BBC’s latest show reel.
Count on me never recovering.
