Tom Hiddleston In Conversation | BAFTA New York

He has a very high level of emotional intelligence.

Dear Lord, how is he even real? This man has just the right mixture of sensibility, wise words and humour. One moment he's giving you life lessons and spewing wise words and the next he says something funny like "yep, I was in dairy milk commercial at the age of 34" he just doesnt let your attention be diverted from him. You feel this urge to listen to every single words of his, see every expression and absorb as much as you can. This man is the defination of perfection.

[@annvos6051]

well said and so true, thank you

[@moniquesanchez3085]

[@janvanfirst]

I just want to hang out with Tom Hiddleston ... to enjoy his company and absorb as much of his knowledge of the complexity of his characters as possible. His knowledge is so impressive, yet he never lets that fact distance himself from others... he just seems so warm and giving, and inclusive.

[@beautifulspacesllc]

1000% agree, all these girls saying how hot and sexy he is, while I agree, I just wanna vibe. Like can we just have a cup of hot chocolate sitting at a panic table talking about film and stories.

[@aramis5301]

@@beautifulspacesllc But that is also a large part of what makes him "hot", though. It's not just that he's incredibly pretty. He also has the kindest eyes, the most genuine smile, and a wonderful voice. I mean, for a long time I'd seen people thirst over Tom Hiddleston online, and as long as I only saw pictures of him, I didn't really understand why. But you need to actually see him move and talk and interact with people, and then it becomes really obvious why everyone is so in love with him.

[@kirstenvdspek]

@@aramis5301 This is where I'm at right now, since Loki on Disney+. I was aware he was hugely popular but never dove into it myself. Until I did, and here I am, and I predict this feeling isn't going to end any time soon, if ever. Being enamored with him is very rewarding.

[@Luisa8783]

When I listen to him I even forget that he's not speaking in my native language cause I understand him sooo perfectly! If all English speaking people talked like him I would have no problems in language comprehension....

[@margaritam.9118]

Ikr It feels like his mind is talking to your mind. My native language is Russian and I have the same feeling after (embarrassing fact) watching his interviews for entire weekend.

[@TaiChiKnees]

+foreveryoung I agree wholeheartedly! I only wish I could speak as beautifully and articulately as him, but alas I was born in Chicago USA and if I spoke like him I would be shunned by my fellow Chicagoans. Maybe I should move to England...

[@Luisa8783]

+TaiChiKnees Hi , I am an Italian teacher of English but even if I I have been studying and practising it for almost all my life, English speakers from all over the world are not so easy to understand sometimes...I've been in many places in the Uk and in some cases I thought I had a better pronunciation than some native speakers... :-) I'm joking, of course .. but as for Tom , his perfect way of speaking is so clear and understandable that , as I said before , it's like he was speaking Italian to me...

[@susanmontague5267]

After the last election, I'd move to England in a second!

[@aggelinapapanikolaou]

foreveryoung I am from Greece,and I wonder,English and American are really that different?Because most of the time I cannot tell the difference,other than the accent of course:)

[@positivelypetpartners]

He is so darn articulate, so intelligent, his Eton and Cambridge educations have served him well. I like when he gets introspective, he's an interviewers dream!

[@MissGhettogospel]

Mostly Cambridge, I suppose. We have seen, particularly in recent years, how catastrophic a so-called 'Etonian' education can be.

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

@@MissGhettogospel I've not heard anything about a downside to an education at Eton. But I'm American so that probably is why.

[@leif1075]

@@vickyabramowitz2885 Yea me neither I'm curious what is the potentially catastrophic downside?

[@MelissaThompson432]

I noticed that Loki in particular comes across as a theatrical character; Thor may be a Prince Hal, but he doesn't come across as that *type* of archetype. Loki is a master of drama. He uses overlarge gestures; in a way, his quiet moments are that much more fraught because he is so...I want to say orotund: "I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose!" The drama rolls off of him. Another actor would not have brought that tradition to Loki, and the character (and the MCU) would have suffered. Kenneth Branagh, to the extent that Tom Hiddleston is not self-created, didn't merely give a guy a job; he created a superstar. I predict the future is his for the taking.

[@ezrak.334]

This is a really good point. I think that's why I've been drawn to hiddleston out of the other actors. I've acted in plays my whole childhood, apprenticed in theaters, and just surrounded myself with theater people. He is a theater person: a theaterical actor, not a movie star or comedian by an intellectual artist and it am just enamored by his presence

[@susanmontague5267]

I have become completely obsessed with TWHiddleston. Honest To God, I can't get enough. I've read, watched and listened to enough of him that I went through "He's way too enamored of himself." To: "no. I think he is completely enamored of his art." AND, the man IS gifted; he has a right to have pride of self. He is also able to give praise to others, so he is not completely stuck on himself alone. He wants to be a kind person, a giving person, one who loves, but one who empathizes and is companionate. So, I'm sold. More please! And could I please adopt you, Mr. Hiddleston? I have kids your age you could play with. You'd have to move to Seattle, which is not a prison sentence. Do think on it. I'd be the happiest girl my age.

This is my favorite of his interviews because he was allowed to be thoughtful and articulate, instead of having to give sound bites.

[@tonistarrrk]

his voice is like smooth velvet silk.

[@carolynrupp7162]

The eloquence and passion with which this man speaks about not only his form of art, but art in general is earth-shattering. He is so incredible about remembering and paying respect to not only his directors, co-stars, but the authors and other artists that are the basis for some of his work, thank you Tom for being so genuinely appreciative about art!

[@rachelsingleton2023]

He has the benefit of being a well educated intelligent and articulate man. He is interesting to listen to because he loves to learn and observe and understand not only his chosen profession but life. I am a fan.

[@theahaberman8189]

I love it when he digresses...

[@CopperCassie]

Tom is incredibly talented and is so passionate about acting. He studies his characters as well as the script. He is serious about every role; I love how he talks about all of his roles with so much love, including defending for Loki every time people ‘misunderstand’ Loki.

[@sharonlangton6521]

His memory is unreal. He is mesmerizing and so well spoken. How refreshing. er

[@ezrak.334]

Can we just applaud this interviewer for the most ruminative, creative questions that perfectly elevate Tom's digression.

[@tiffanygerstler1926]

Tom Hiddleston is absolutely brilliant and has an incredible emotional intelligence. He is by far my favorite actor, but also an outstanding entertainer. He sings, dances, does impressions - even juggles. It is rare to see that kind of entertainer in this day and age. It is impossible to not fall in love with him.

[@janeway73]

I saw Betrayal with Tom Hiddleston and felt exactly what he says, that I was in the presence of greatness. He is one formidable actor of our age.

[@jadeeye5630]

Tom can make an hour feel like a lifetime of thoughts and still way too short

Its so pleasing to listen to Tom talk about his theatre/acting career and his interests along with experiences. The level of passion and the way he talks about getting into character, how he gets his inspiration etc is so incredible. He's a main reason why i love film so much, simply because of his perspective on the industry.

[@generalkenobi3215]

I also think the interviewer asked many great quesitons (well maybe except for the Bond...;) with certain level of understanding of Tom Hiddleston's works. This interview helped me get the gist of his filmographic philosophy

[@sandie321]

I have just watched him as Prince Hal and HenryV in a trilogy in a 4 dvd set entitled The Hollow Crown. He is stupendous. Actually, along with the costumes, film locations and the many well-known faces, the whole set was spellbinding.

[@Elvira-jb1qj]

he's such a beautifully spoken person i can't

[@BlakCircleGirl]

Tom is just such an interesting person. He just continuously astounds me with his intelligence and wit. I agree there is something to learning how people truly are under their masks. To really know who a person is when no one else is watching. I was just having a conversation with someone who joked who has time to really get to know someone. I think it's work the time. One of the reasons he's so outstanding like in The Night Manager is how much he can say just with his eyes or a gesture. I can't tell you how it affected me during that--no spoilers--fireworks scene. What Hopkins said to him touches me in a few ways, with my writing for one. But especially after losing some great musicians recently due to their darkness and how it was said there has to be someone who can touch the darkness for us. To go where angels fear to tread.
