14. Polyglot.

Tom can speak several languages. His knowledge is not limited to two varieties of native English. He can communicate comfortably in Greek, Italian, French and Spanish. This skill helps the actor during the presentation of various films to foreign audiences.

The celebrity never ceases to improve himself every day. He plans to learn a number of other languages, among which Russian should be highlighted. Tom is making great strides in his studies; at one of the shows, the presenter sat in a T-shirt that said “love conquers all” in Russian. The Englishman read and read this phrase without any problems.

15. Charity.

The celebrity does not forget to invest his money in useful things. For several years he has been the UK's ambassador to the UNICEF (UN Children's Fund) humanitarian aid groups. In 2013, the actor flew to Guinea to tell people about the problem of hunger and malnutrition. The man also visited several other third world countries.

16. Scandal.

Hiddleston's speech at the Golden Globe Awards caused great resonance. Having received a prize for his role in the mini-series “The Night Manager,” Tom did not talk about films, but talked about his achievements as part of charity events. Journalists considered such an act not entirely appropriate; the star had to apologize on her Facebook page.

Curly hair is an integral element of a guy's look. As a child, Tom was teased by his sisters for such a detail of his appearance. In some films, the Englishman had to act in a wig (for example, he tried it on for the role of Loki). Also, many fans note the actor’s athletic physique. His height is 188 centimeters and his weight is 83 kilograms.

Smile man. Shakespeare Man. Man of Charm. This year Tom Hiddleston was unforgivably quieter than water, lower than the grass. We will not be surprised that the reason for this was not very successful, in terms of public image, (whatever is actually hidden behind this word) with Taylor Swift and during the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Therefore, we look back at the past 2017 and the achievements of Tom Hiddleston with a slight bit of sadness (we saw a little less of Tom in him than we would like), but certainly with hope for new achievements in 2018. , care in and , progressive or maximum? What we will remember 2017 through the prism of Tom Hiddleston.

FILM OF THE YEAR

KING KONG: SKULL ISLAND

If a film had been released in 2017 that gained fame among critics and film gurus, with a 99.9% probability it would have topped Tom Hiddleston's filmography. But the past year was rich only in blockbusters. We have become quite accustomed to Loki, although we always happily await the return of the sly man to the big screens. But Jordan Vaughn-Roberts made an attempt in the spring to show us a different side of Tom. Not a sophisticated, stately Briton, but a warrior with powerful masculine charisma.

"King Kong: Skull Island" showed that Hiddleston has some chances in this path as well. Although the rough male brutality still needs work. Years of Shakespeare mania don't just pass...

About 550 million dollars in fees worldwide. Powerful promo. A very beautiful picture (we recommend that you experience “Skull Island” through the big screen). Gigantomania from a good artistic point of view. Breathtaking landscapes. And in general, a tolerable plot that does not eat up Tom, but shows him from a new side.

LOOK OF THE YEAR

TOM HIDDLESTON AND... DOGS

November 2017

November 2017

Summing up the year 2017, there is a certain craving for everyday British looks. Well, you must admit, these classics, to the core of their personalities, can surprise on the red carpet only in isolated cases. And therefore, other, more mundane photographs and ordinary everyday life are remembered.

So Tom Hiddleston is remembered for his a) jogging, b) trips for coffee and c) doggies. More precisely, incredibly touching photographs. As they say, the only thing better than Tom Hiddleston and cats is Tom Hiddleston and doggies.

PHOTO SESSION OF THE YEAR

GQ, MARCH 2017, Photographer : Nathaniel Goldberg

The determining factor in favor of Tom Hiddleston's photo shoot for the March issue of GQ became color. A simple brown color, as a symbol of a departure from the eternal blue, which Tom is usually dressed in for public events and which the actor himself actively uses in everyday life. And this time, Tom Hiddleston demonstrated not only the very squeak of men's fashion, but also that it was time for him to give up 50 shades of blue.

Tom Hiddleston's photo shoot on the streets of London was published at the very moment... But these two just became friends, chatted "much book", and did a long-winded interview - in the style of Tom Hiddleston himself. We covered many topics: Tom's exceptional culinary talent, expressed in divine spaghetti with Bolognese sauce; Tom Hanks, love for long walks and... an affair with Taylor Swift.

EVENT OF THE YEAR

FIRST GOLDEN GLOBE IN CAREER

Despite the tough competition in the Best Actor category, when Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman began to crack the awards in the miniseries category, we were surprised beyond measure. For Tom Hiddleston, this is the first serious nomination and the first high-level award for his work on television.

The smiling and charming Tom Hiddleston stupefied many of his colleagues, journalists and spectators with his winning speech at the Golden Globes. In a completely unexpected moment even for himself (this can be seen from the footage from the audience), the actor, stunned and probably already celebrating the victory of others;) entered the stage almost following his colleague Hugh Laurie. The first serious victory in his career - naturally, nerves were in the atmosphere. After thanking the creators of the series, his fellow actors and agents “in addition to what Hugh Laurie had already said,” the actor launched into lengthy discussions that were interpreted far from in his favor: a story about his trip to “the youngest of the UN countries” South Sudan, about a meeting with employees of Doctors Without Borders, who, according to him, said that they were big fans of the series, etc. In general, the speech was quite confusing, awkward and was regarded by many as hypocritical.

The uproar on the Internet continued for two days, after which Tom finally could not stand it and posted the following message on his Facebook page:

"I just wanted to say... I completely agree that my speech at the Golden Globes last night was inelegantly expressed. The truth is, I was very nervous and my words simply came out wrong. My only sincere intention was to welcome the incredible bravery and courage of the men and women who work tirelessly for UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders and the World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan who continue to find hope and joy in the most difficult circumstances. I apologize that my my nerves are stronger than me."

Let us repeat our point of view. Many actors use such ceremonies as a platform for various kinds of political statements (you don’t have to look far - Meryl Streep devoted her entire speech in response to the honorary award to criticism of Donald Trump). But spontaneous and unexpected victories can confuse even the brightest thoughts. When you're reading a prepared speech from a teleprompter (hello, Meryl Streep) and don't have innate sarcasm and a well-honed sense of humor (hello, Hugh Laurie), the words may not always form into sentences that will be clearly interpreted by a pompous audience. It’s better to prepare your speech in advance (even without expecting to win) and it’s better to thank your mom, dad, and great-grandmother, in order to avoid bullies who can be ragged for trying to draw attention to the problem on a global scale. Moreover, many somehow very conveniently missed the middle part of Hiddleston’s speech and his words that “The Tonight Series” is a film about an arms dealer, of whom there are just too many in South Sudan, not for the good... Or conversations about charity, in principle, are intended to drive people into depression and ignorance?

The other day, the famous artist was seen with an unfamiliar young woman. The couple was just kissing, and these pictures have already leaked onto the Internet.

The other day, the paparazzi caught Tom doing something spicy. He kissed and hugged a beautiful brunette on one of the streets of London.

They were noticed by a random passerby. On the dimly lit street, the couple giggled, kissed and hugged. The brunette looked too simple for the handsome Hiddleston - she was wearing a dark green jacket and leggings.

Tom, as always, was dressed to the nines: he was wearing a light jacket, tight trousers and smart light gray shoes.

Let us remind you that last week the 35-year-old Briton received a Golden Globe for his role in the series “The Night Manager”. Tom distinguished himself: he began to give a speech and became confused. I wanted to say a few kind words to Doctors Without Borders, but what came out was pure bragging.

And although a few days later Hiddleston officially apologized for his awkward speech, it did not help him. In this second message, he said that he simply bowed to the doctors, saying that this was the only thing he wanted to convey.

Despite all Hiddleston's efforts, the public doesn't really like him. Apparently, Tom lacks sincerity, because all his gestures and actions somewhat smack of either show off or PR.

Let us remember that in May a passionate romance broke out between Tom and singer Taylor Swift. And their relationship really resembled a stage play! Hiddleston, who has never advertised his private life, suddenly began publicly kissing and hugging Swift.

It is difficult to say how serious their relationship was then. However, so does he. and they introduced each other to their parents.

But after three months their passion evaporated. Tom requested that Taylor accompany him to the upcoming Emmy ceremony. But the singer refused. She said that she does not play to the public when her relationship ends.

When reporters directly asked the actor about Taylor Swift, he replied: “Yes, we are friends.”

“This topic is no longer discussed, but we are friendly. We didn’t comment on anything from the very beginning, but now everything is in the past, so we outplayed all of you,” and made it clear that the topic of his personal life was closed.

While waiting for Tom Hiddleston at The Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles, I remembered our last meeting at the Universal film studio. Then I became convinced that Tom was very tall and that his thinness made him seem even taller. He loves to talk, and listening to him is a pleasure, because he speaks as he writes. Tom dresses elegantly and knows how to seem like he belongs, although he is completely Oxford-Cambridge. But I only found out that Tom is an owl now, when he was an hour late for our morning meeting. So that I wouldn’t be offended by him for this, Tom admitted that he tortured the “Kong” film crew with his “consciousness.” “I really wake up around noon, and before that I’m like a sleepwalker,” says the actor.

- Do you remember how you were offered the role of Captain James Conrad in Kong?

Of course, this was not so long ago - in April 2014. I starred in the film “Crimson Peak.” Producer Thomas Tull came to me and said, “We’re thinking about making another Kong movie.” He presented it to me as an adventure picture - like the ones I loved to watch as a child. As I listened to Thomas, I was overcome with a sense of excitement that is inherent in the very DNA of cinema. After all, “King Kong” went down in history, becoming a cult classic. The first film was made 80 or 85 years ago - I think it was 1933. In the center is the great Kong. I adore him, he personifies the great forces of nature. Kong is the alpha predator. People believe they can invade his territory, but this always ends in tragedy. I think all of the Kong stories share a common theme: for wildlife to be in harmony with itself, humans must be a part of it, just as animals must be a part of it.

- What can you tell about your hero?

James Conrad is a former SAS captain. The SAS is the British Army's special forces force, which consists of soldiers of the highest level of training. Conrad is an expert in finding missing soldiers, conducting rescue operations and surviving in the jungle. He is hired to lead a ground expedition because the team needs someone who knows his way around the jungle and knows it. It was an interesting and unusual project for me because it was my first time playing a leading action hero.

- Did you need any special training to play this role?

Oh yes, and very intense. In fact, we devoted most of the preparatory period to “physics”. The film has many dynamic scenes, and in order to withstand the six-month shoot, excellent stamina was required. And since I’m not Schwarzenegger, I had to work hard to cope with such a load.

Every morning I accomplished a feat. (Laughs.) Filming usually took place during daylight hours, and I was usually called to the set at seven o’clock in the morning, which means that they picked me up at the hotel at six. That's why my training started at four in the morning! Can you imagine what it was like for an owl like me? I was trained by a former US Navy SEAL who enjoyed testing what I could do. (Laughs.) In the end, I got into excellent physical shape, I really like it myself.

Are you superhuman? It seems that you are filming without a break and you need to be torn between locations that are distant from each other.

Yes, sometimes we had to break away from filming in Vietnam, where we were filming Kong, and fly to participate in the promotion of the film The Night Manager. Then I didn’t have a single day off. It wasn't easy, but I'm not superhuman, I just drink a lot of coffee. (Laughs.)

- Is there a place in the world where you have taken root?

London - I've lived there for 15 years. I have a house there.

- But you must be completely cut off from London life with such work?

Yes, in a sense you are right, because I travel often. But I'm not complaining. For example, we mainly filmed “The Night Manager” in Morocco, and a little in Mallorca. These are such wonderful, beautiful places! Then I had a month off and went to Hawaii. Then I was in Australia and Vietnam. But on the other hand, I am very attached to my family, to my old friends. Lately I have rarely been able to visit them.

- Is it probably difficult for you to just walk along a London street without attracting attention?

I try, as far as I can, to be a completely ordinary person.

- You may be trying, but many people don’t consider you an ordinary person.

Yes, but I'm trying to lead a normal life and not be distracted by all this. Sometimes I go to a cafe, wander the streets and people don’t pay any attention to me. Sometimes. (Laughs.) As a rule, people behave very respectfully, and then, every person has a need to go somewhere. One of my sisters graduated as a midwife. She worked in hospitals, delivering babies along with other nurses and doctors. And she told me how important it was for all of them to have a place where they could retire. If you are a doctor, then you have a sense of duty and obligation, but you need to have your own corner where you can relax and unwind.

- Do you want to say that you give birth secretly from everyone?

No, my sister does this. (Laughs.) But I like your assumption. London is the place where I feel at home. There are many memories associated with him. On the other hand, I also have memories associated with Los Angeles. I've always found this city to be a very optimistic, creative place. A lot of people come here to create something special. There is such energy here that you feed off of it. I lived here for a year, then moved to New York. In addition, I spent quite a long time in Paris when I was twenty. I've lived in many places, but at the moment it just so happens that my home is London.

How do you manage to look so clean and tidy on screen when all the other characters are dirty?

- How was it working with director Jordan Vaught-Roberts?

Amazing. He is like a musical instrument that is finely tuned to this film. It was he who suggested that the action take place in the 1970s. And this is an amazing idea, because the early 1970s are a time when there were still islands unknown to people in the Pacific region. NASA was just beginning to photograph the Earth from space. But in addition, there was a very special political situation and a special idea of ​​​​what it meant to be a soldier. It also became obvious to many that the film opened up great prospects for music. And at the same time, we had the opportunity to come up with something that people had not yet seen. I remember Jordan flew out to see me when we were recording the score for the film I Saw the Light. We had lunch together and he told me about Kong. He and I are the same age, we grew up at the same time, we watched the same films: “Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “Jurassic Park.” These are all breathtaking fantasy adventure pictures that will fuel your imagination. Jordan has a knack for creating unforgettable images and has innovative ideas and visions. Notice the incredible color scheme in the film. While filming, we felt like we were part of something big, dangerous and fascinating. But we had creative ideas that we discussed endlessly. The main one was to revive our need for myth. People need to believe in something greater than ourselves. This need explains our attraction to space, to the ocean, to the natural world. We love discoveries, we want to experience the greatness of our planet, our universe. That's why we love Kong so much. We talked about our need to humble ourselves before nature, and Kong is a symbol of nature. He's like a blue whale or a Bengal tiger. These are large animals that fill us with horror, but at the same time they are beautiful and necessary for us.

- Now it’s 2017, a lot has changed.

Films always enter into dialogue with their contemporaries. Sometimes it makes sense to speak as if from the past, so that the voice is not too loud and so that it is better heard. Another theme of the film is modern technology. Brie Larson plays an anti-war photographer, and she's the only one on the island with a camera. Bree's heroine takes pictures that could change the entire island. The topic of new technologies, their pros and cons, is very relevant now. Technological progress must be approached carefully and responsibly.

- Are there any episodes in which you star with the Chinese actress Tian Jing?

Yes. She's amazing, very witty. She has amazingly developed intuition, and she knows how to effortlessly and quickly get into character. Jing is easy to play with. There is something hypnotic about her; when this actress is in the frame, something unusual and magical happens. In a word, she is charming.

- Does this mean that you and Tian Jing have a special relationship?

You know, Mesmer believed that people secrete fluids that allow them to establish a telepathic connection with each other. But in cinema, you can limit yourself to just “chemistry” - Tian Jing and I certainly had it. And that's great.
