Tom Hiddleston

[Mutagen]

I had to take breaks from reading that GQ article because there was so. much. cringe. His publicist needs to put one of those anti-barking dog collars on him and just press the button whenever it's time to shut up.

He comes across so desperate and needy. Seriously, where was his publicist?? I couldn't believe he went back to the author's hotel before her flight to ramble on about his lovelorn life. Buddy, the 007 ship has sailed.

I would encourage anyone who, like me, skimmed through that article at work, to take the time to re-read it carefully. Every single word of that article is shade. It's the greatest hatchet job I've read since Plum Sykes pretended to like Gwyneth Paltrow in Vogue.

I think Hiddles thought he could aggressively charm Taffy and she made him think he was really pulling it off - probably around the time he was eating all of the steak off of her plate. And meanwhile, all she was doing was cataloguing his try-hardery.

He closed his eyes and recited the lyrics to "Under Pressure" to her! He heated her up a plate of his leftover spaghetti to prove what a good cook he is!

By the way, I'm sure he's on the cover to promote the big-budget movie he has out next month and it wasn't mentioned in the article once. Not once. His publicist is terrible.

I'm guessing this is his big redemption tour: "I loved her so much, poor me, and I just couldn't make it work with her." Aka, a page from the Taylor Swift script pre-1989 and before the Girl Power Squad was everywhere. Except he's being respectful of her, so she can't (as easily) bash him like she does with most of her exes.

I still think his publicist needs to rein him in. His over the top earnestness rings false (reminds me of Eddie Redmayne in that), but it's a hilarious read from a gossip perspective. And yes, Ginger, the shade is so well done.

Tom, just stop.

reads the prepared statement Tom Hiddleston has memorized and is now giving me

Hee.

I love every bit of the interview. And yes, she was throwing him major shade and for good reason. Either give a real interview or don't give one at all. You dated Taylor, now prepare to deal with the consequences.

And here Hiddleston does a brief impression of Tom Hanks (he does very good impressions of everyone, including me after a day) that is hard to describe, except to say that it summons Tom Hanks in a very profound way. Its only flaw is also part of its charm: While he does the impression, he’s also looking at you to see how much you’re enjoying it, and then he can’t stop smiling when he sees that you are, so ultimately what you get is an impression of Tom Hiddleston enjoying himself doing a Tom Hanks impression

Oh. My. God. I can't. He's too much.

It sounds like he's spent nights tossing and turning, obsessing about that tank top. "People don't understand the context!"

[Deleted]

He's too self serious. He needs to laugh about himself more. I would have respected him more if he had just said about the tshirt "I don't know what the hell I was thinking! It seemed fun at the time. The things a guy will do to try to impress a lady!"

He is either really pretentious or too self aware. I don't know which, but I do know he is thirsty!

Read this article. It's bonkers. And his reason for wearing the I [heart] TS tank top is so blatantly untrue.

From the article:

“Taylor is an amazing woman,” reads the prepared statement Tom Hiddleston has memorized and is now giving me at The Bull & Last, where his voice has gone low. “She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” But I didn’t ask that, I say. I asked something else. So I wait, and he says, “Of course it was real.”

August 2016:

On RDJ’s Instagram drag: “I feel like it’s an expression of mutual admiration. It’s great. He’s very sweet. And within the Marvel universe there’s a lot of that going on – a lot of throwing paper aeroplanes… I’ve just come from Australia where I was working with Mark [Ruffalo] and Chris [Hemsworth] and we had the best time.”

Hiddleston seems to have "the best time" with a suspiciously large number of people. Hmmm...

[luminosa]

Cringe-worthy. So much second-hand embarrassment. He is so thirsty.

I too had a brief crush on him after the Night Manager but that is done.

The fall from grace is kind of crazy. Haven't seen somhim one go from worshiped to laughed at so fast in a while.
