Conversations with Tom Hiddleston of THE NIGHT MANAGER

Q&A with Tom Hiddleston of THE NIGHT MANAGER. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety.
The Night Manager, a six-part AMC miniseries is a contemporary interpretation of John le Carré’s best-selling spy novel, which follows hotel manager Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) in his quest to bring down international arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Pine, a former soldier, is thrust into a world of international intrigue when he is recruited by a British intelligence officer (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate Roper’s inner circle. To get to the heart of Roper’s vast empire, Pine must withstand the allure of his beautiful girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki) and the suspicious interrogations of his venal chief of staff Major Corkoran (Tom Hollander). In his quest to do the right thing, Pine must first become a criminal himself.

This man should not be contained by daytime and late night chat shows. These longer, more intimate interviews are why I love him so much. He give his time and actually puts in thought to his answers and is engaged with discussion. No mystery why he is so many people's favorite actor.

[@taniaearle4457]

I'd love him to just give lectures! He'd make a brilliant English literature teacher.

[@belgaathena9304]

I totally agree, he's a marvellous and wise man who doesn't just reply to the answers for what to others want to hear but with real and concrete answers. (Love him so much!! )

[@rosamendez7033]

How on earth does he keep so much information in his brain ; is remarkable.

[@ZyliceLiddell]

@@taniaearle4457He originally thought of being a teacher instead of an actor.

[@mariaangelakopoulou4596]

What a great conversation with Tom, thumbs up to the interviewer, she did her very best to make her guest feel comfortable. Excellent work

[@raspberrybomb228]

He is so calm and relaxed and nice and effortlessly funny. He really is perfect.

[@DevikaFernando]

A wonderful interview, giving Tom the chance to be his eloquent, genuine, sensitive, intelligent self. Good questions, too.

[@sidyable]

+Devika Fernando haha i was replying to You commenting on my Harry Potter poster while listening to This :)

[@DevikaFernando]

Shadrach Del'Monte What a coincidence :D

[@RaegynPerry]

+Devika Fernando Hey Hiddlesister, why am I not surprised to find you here!

[@DevikaFernando]

Raegyn Perry I could say the same about you! :D

[@1650million]

Jenelle, you´re great at what yo do. Thanks for the fantastic interview.

[@taniaearle4457]

She is, a lot of US one's are silly. Really like her

[@jejedesalpes7886]

I'm a 39 year-old frenchman, and, as both a freelance journalist an author, I'm an absolute fan of John le Carré's work (so not only his novels). This interview is highly inspiring, and "The Night Manager" among the best adaptations of le Carré's novels. Thank you so much for this moment, and for sharing it here, for us. Greetings from France

[@CarlaHolley]

I appreciated that Tom was speaking to a room of actors. This lent his words a lot of depth and weight, serving as a peek into his process and how he experience his work.

[@humaidah]

darn..he is really into the interview..ı mean..he is so attached with the interview, well-answered, well-spoken...such a great actor

[@LuxLisbon26]

Another brilliant interview from Jenelle Riley. 42:21 is where I officially become her fangirl!

[@mariasincari2968]

It's so refreshing to read a comment section about tom's intellect and not about his look

[@helenpauls1496]

Love the British actors and their intelligence and integrity. Excellent interview.

[@me_am_cat]

I could listen to Tom Hiddleston talk on any subject that interests him for as long as he wanted to talk. He's an absolute delight.

[@voulatriandafillidou5261]

It's adorable how he tries to keep a "low profile"...(stop it...stop it...) and his inner child breaks through..Please Mr Hiddleston, don't ever "stop it"!It's absolutely genuine and adorable!!

[@glytchharkness7737]

I really quite adore interviews with him

[@tamehack]

This interview just confirmed my view of Tom Hiddleston - a great actor and a real human being. I love Night Manager and other things I have seen Tom in like Wallender. A delightful interview to watch. Thank you.

[@goldengirl8907]

I loved this interview. Jenelle is an amazing interviewer!

[@haley5489]

Loved this interview. The interviewer did such a great job with questions, humor, everything. So charming. And tom....I mean, come on. ❤️

[@livb6945]

Hearing this wonderful man talking about my hero Hugh Laurie is paradise

[@erikapeterson7347]

This man is adorable and has ruined all other men for me 😊

[@ajhiflyer]

+Erika Peterson Me too!! :)

[@Shardul280694]

I am a straight man but I couldn't agree more

[@hannahjoy333.]

Erika Peterson there are no men like him

[@kathrynsmart1639]

Right!!!! I mean he’s easy on the eye, but oh my goodness he was were the phrase intelligence is sexy comes from.. He has an incredibly articulate, interesting and creative mind 🙂

[@KatarinaDelarose]

Dude right tho!

[@cu2524]

I know I’m supposed to say something productive because this is such a wonderful and enlightened talk. The interviewer is doing so well in carrying the conversation smoothly and asks very interesting questions. She can join the dots of whatever he's talking. She knows the films, the lines, the scenes he mentions. She's so well prepared and that's very wonderful. Also, Tom, as always, is talking with his intellects and very enthusiastic. He knows so much and really understand his job as an actor very well. I love hearing him tell the story about his work experiences. Also, the way he talks about other people is with respect and sweet. And, his voice is so addictive I have to say that upon all the talk with celebrities in this channel, Tom Hiddleston is the ONLY one I stay up till the end without skipping. However, the way he moves his hand all over his body from time to time is quite distracting, especially when he touches his neck and chest. Oh, and his shirt matches his eyes colour, too! PS. If you find this such a long comment, it's because I edited it every time I re-watch the video, and I re-watch this quite a lot!

[@aramis5301]

I was thinking exactly the same thing! It's a wonderful interview, with a great interviewer who really knows how to put him at ease, so he can give his really insightful answers... But yeah, I kind of need to listen to it instead of watching it, because his left hand and the way he moves it is just EXTREMELY sexy and distracting! He has the most beautiful hands... (and ears, too... I mean it's not often that I fixate on sb's ears, but they are perfectly shaped ^^).

[@pinknest2001]

I can listen to him all day long!

[@marciakillingsworth8640]

Ms. Riley, you are a fantastic interviewer. Thank you for this superb Q&A. Lovely rapport and terrific conversation. I have to add that as a former publicist, I loved that you asked about that weather report... As a handler, I couldn't believe that his publicist allowed him to did that. Good to know he was being a good - if unprepared, aka 'sacked', - sport and his publicist isn't incompetent. Other than that, the interview was brilliant. Bravo and congratulations to you both. I'm following you on Twitter now. Wish I'd discovered you sooner.

[@palcada]

i love the interviewer

[@mariaangelakopoulou4596]

+Azul C. Hernández Yes, she's lovely indeed :)

[@christinaurna5033]

Very enlightening interview. His commitment to his profession is so deep and he wants the audience to participate and to celebrate his success with him. He definitely has the skills to become one really great actor. I really wish him a fantastic career . Thank you for this great interview :)

[@fahetaqa]

One of the best interview, really informative

[@Jeje-nd9mk]

His way of describing John le Carré' s novels is just great.

[@anoziraflaminghot]

i really liked this interview. great job to the interviewer!

[@jannagriffith5101]

God...every time he strokes his neck and opens his shirt a little more...I melt 😍

[@柏心妮]

Jenelle, you are marvelous! Tom needs time to express himself and he seemed so comfortable with you. Love your laugh!

[@thatsandgirl3046]

Great interviewer! And Tom? The masterful performer, brilliant, captivating and gorgeous!

[@Velociraptom]

The interviewer is really great

[@jenjen9313]

I love him. His voice, his appearance all in all❤️

[@LiloEmyoung]

Great interview, and the interviewer did an absolutely perfect job! Mr. Hiddleston as usual is inspiring and perfect. Thank you for posting this :)

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

More John le Carré for Mr Hiddleston? He is perfect for 'The Honourable Schoolboy' -- gentlemanly, sexy, public-school educated, went to school with Prince William......lovely Tom! 💔

[@Rr0xxii]

I wonder why the interviewer said Nolan dislikes her. Especially that she seemed to be such an eloquent and lovely person here.

[@barbarastewart8066]

Jennette you are the Best Interviewer ever. You go girl and what an opportunity afforded you as you set your path beautifully. Bravo girlfriend.

[@daniellebelisle4747]

Did you combine your eyes and your shirt on purpose, Tom?

[@jenniferjaimes2311]

35:57-36:06 I understand completely 42:30-42:44 loved it

[@isabeaust.claire4815]

jenelle, thank you so much for acknowledging his shows beyond marvel!i mean i love his role as loki and that's how i started liking him but he has other really great roles too and they deserve to be acknowledged 43:32 amazing skit!

[@sueroork8452]

Reminds me of Richard Burton in that he is a story teller, and has a wonderful deep voice.

[@britishdramafan2133]

Great interview! Thank you!

[@alseipel168]

I can't get over the color of Tom's shirt and how it matches his eyes....

[@mahaalmoosa]

Did anyone noticed that his shirt is matching his beautiful eyes. Besides, from his body language he seemed a very conscious, neat, self-discipline man…. All love from Iraq❤

[@ilixatreyu6111]

Es fascinante escuchar a Tom. Es maravillosa la manera en la que habla. Incansablemente sería escucharle.

[@aquarianlove1787]

Wow I loved the movie Hesher. Now I'm thinking of how Tom would've been in it

[@RitwikaDatta]

This was such a fantastic interview !!! Thanks for this.

[@ailsaledia9598]

Thanks for your video that's conversations can help me understand the point of movie.

[@maytecedano2857]

I just read high rise and I loved it, can't wait to see the movie!

[@ac-vh4pw]

Wow this interview is great. Kudos to both of you

[@jeanbunyi3879]

His eyes matches his shirt! And it's so funny that his hands are always moving and he likes to touch his face a lot! hahahaha

[@kameninikanda2148]

Hi Jean how are you? 🙏

[@amandalou4876]

THANK YOU for uploading! Amazing as always!

[@MrJessEKelly]

Omg, thank the lord for this :D

[@carmencardoza4525]

❤Love from Peru 😊

[@jademaverick8291]

Tom has said that his eyes were blue, but why do I sometimes see them as kind of green?

[@darmastutidarmastuti]

I loved british actors...my favorite is tom hiddleston and matthew goode..

[@maidamasoud776]

Me too

[@maryamnisar3874]

God put his best effort while making him.

[@humaidah]

not a fangirl..but yeah I admire him

[@neeraahanthem5467]

Tom has put on weight n he looks good :)

[@sallydillon4740]

Neera Ahanthem yes for Kong Skull Island. He was really ripped in this. Lots of muscles.

[@marisa6210]

Is it possible to have subtitles?

[@charliebwilde8963]

I'm super curious about what role he turned down

[@joellenchisholm6657]

Such a wonderful interview: great interviewer and great actor. But his constantly rubbing his neck, or his eye, or sticking his finger in his ear made me feel buggy. He is one of the most verbally astute people I've ever listened to.

[@livl5168]

i love genelle i can’t spell but aigshdjaj

[@ireminsel]

Love you.

[@Brian_Moser1118]
