Tom Hiddleston - live on stage Q&A: Popcorn Taxi - part 1

Marvel's Thor: The Dark World -- Exclusive Presentation + Q&A with Tom Hiddleston LIVE on stage. Tuesday October 8, 2013, Event Cinemas George Street, Sydney.

[@hdhfhdjsjs2741]

does anyone else have difficulty listening to what tom is saying because you just get distracted by his voice? like just a deep seated true appreciation for the sounds this amazing man's vocal chords make. wow.

[@HimeNoKuri]

Sarah Trinx YES!!!

[@insomnish]

To be afraid to fail. To look back and think "I wish i had.." Y'know tom, you've inspired me to not be so afraid of getting out there and face my fears of failing. Thank you.

[@michellehayton8984]

He is a beautiful human being who lives in the now and wears his heart on his sleeve! He is not only a great actor, but a true humanitarian and a brilliant philosopher. He was born to be in the spotlight. He feeds on the positive energy of the crowd and throws it back out, that is why he is so respected. He understands he would not be where he is without his fans. His love and adoration for his fans is so genuine. We need more celebrities like him. The world is a better place with him in it!

[@rachelkaywilde]

Michelle Hayton we need more people like him in general

[@bonniemessick8570]

Michelle Hayton unfortunately here in 2018 he is tired

[@KalypsoKent]

His description of his thought process is mesmerizingly honest. I mean, come on, there are a lot of hot guys, but he's way way more than that.

[@bellajuventina]

Wow, there's so much wisdom inside of a 32-year old man. amazing.

[@LiveLifeLove88]

I love how you say that like it's really surprising. it is.

[@luibros]

He is only 32?? wow he seems older... but i still love him very much haha:D

[@pennypyro42]

luibros well *now* he's 33, but yeah...and I love him too :)

[@bellajuventina]

and my comment was before his 33rd birthday n_n

[@pennypyro42]

yup

[@PaulineGeorge26]

I was not a fan of Avengers or Marvel but one of the movies was on tv and while flipping channels I caught his performance and stopped to take it in and thought who is this guy? He's fantastic! A week later I just had to look "Loki" up cause he was just that memorable. An instant Tom Hiddleston fan was born.

[@anna._olsen_]

omg this is 7 years later, but i became a hiddlestan after the first avengers movie, and have never stopped. -Anna :)

[@xandrameza4161]

This is why I love his acting style. Even his explanations are well thought out and very meaningful. He's the first actor I've ever truly grown fond of, I always wonder what character he'll play next and wonder if the next will be completely different from the last. Such a sincere man almost seems impossible sadly. xD Its going to be the biggest honor if I ever have the fortune of meeting him.

[@creativejunkie1562]

Sweet mother of Britain! He is just simply marvelous to watch and listen to.

[@dieulinhnguyen3922]

Omg his voice hits my heart

[@sabasiddique8891]

his vocabulary and intellect that spills from every answer he gives is so refreshing and inspiring, also, extremely easy on the eyes

[@LuvBugBlaqkHart]

10:56 did Tom really just apologize for being happy all the time?... really?!

[@flowerlike1481]

The moment I saw Captain Nicholls in War Horse I knew that sooner or later I would become a Hiddlestoner. Now the time has come... Well-read yet passionate, smart yet down to earth: I thought such a combination could not exist in real life...and here he is. Too far away , sadly.

[@michellehayton8984]

I am in love with Tom Hiddleston! He is amazing in every way, and so beautiful!

[@loljustice31]

lol, get in line, sister! XD

[@riverbedflower7498]

I am convinced, and I stand by this conviction, that Tom Hiddleston is an angel on Earth, and this is not flattery or false compare for the sake of showing poor wit. I do really, honestly, sincerely, believe that he's an angel put on Earth to do all the good he does directly himself, and indirectly by guiding and saving people with his example. If he's not an angel, he's the most angelical of humans I have ever seen.

[@chdh5875]

I always get touched every time I watch that video where he talks about compassion.... a such young guy with a such great sensitivity. I hope he finds this same compassion of people towards him, and not the cruelty of recent years

[@nathaliebazinga]

You can relate to him, you see his honesty, that's why he's so precious.

[@MyBubbleInSpace]

"He's just evil from the front" Yeah! There's no way that butt could be evil

[@tachawazowskeey]

Great interview, great questions, gives us insides to Tom and the brilliant mind of his. Such wisdom and enthusiasm inside a man at his age, absolutely rare. A wonderful & exceptional human being. God.

[@SamyMusic8]

Wow, I really liked that and he is just so inspiring, with just telling whats on his mind and whats his opinion, but he still is soo funny! Also he can explain everything so well, you just get what he means right away and then you think about it again and you notice how right he is. I'm glad I watched this, because he got me to have another outlook on life somehow and inspired me to live it the way I'd love to.

[@skljcd]

I'm only 6.5 minutes into this and I am loving it. Tom is so relaxed and open, humble and sincere. I can already see this will be a favorite. Thanks for sharing, Popcorntaxi!......finished part 1. This guy is so able to articulate his thoughts and feelings. He's much more than just an actor. His philosophies are inspirational. He's wise beyond his years, and seems to have always been so. He's utterly divine.

[@daniellemuse4658]

He is just so inspirational, and perfect. I would kill to meet him.

[@LostNorthernLights]

The way he says, "Thanks for the sympathy." :D

[@LoyaFrostwind]

Sonja , I think that was in character, as Loki. XD

[@Bimbonotbothered]

I am in bed and am just about to go to sleep. Put on a five hour long playlist by someone, well I forget who, but it's a playlist of Tom Hiddleston, just his interviews, and him talking. For five hours. Five. Hours. He eases me to sleep every night. I dream of him, his voice still playing in the background for five hours. Oh, my most pleasant dreams come from this. Aaaah.

[@ChildofYAH]

He is absolutely gorgeous here omigosh

[@pennypyro42]

5 dark elves disliked this video.

[@johnmitchell5060]

No, One was Odin, one was his real father, one was Thor, one was Shield, and one was Malakeith. (Sorry, fans. I don't know how to spell.)

[@princessofslytherin4495]

Wtf. 13 wanna be's and jealous jerks disliked this video...plus all those who Johm Mitchell mentioned...

[@alinacbh8174]

22 dislikes in 6 years!! With over 200k views! I think it's great :)

[@alte21]

I love how Tom loves Greek stuff. Arghhh imma fangirling over Tom AND Greek Myths. Ughhh

[@SunshineKindaGurl]

13:25 :D "FUCK IT! COM'ON! WE'RE GOING!"

[@anyier1]

he's very articulate and oh how I love his smile!

[@Galemor1]

If you ask the right questions, this man just goes on.. Like a penny in a machine.. But his smooth voice makes it alright, because you don't really listen to what he says, but just the fact that he talks.

[@haragoh2741]

He's really an amazing and humble guy! How he really is passionate of his work.

[@sharon012490]

Jesus Christ he is so handsome, and so gosh darn wise!

[@pia91]

great interviewer!!! really good questions for a change! and Tom, of course, is lovely and wise and intelligent as ever!

[@jojooffaraway2675]

How can he be this awesome ?!!! It's just incredible and impossible. He is just kswndioöwenvowiebn *faint*

[@valeriabk2383]

he apologized for being so happy! he is the cutest!

[@ccc27ccc]

He should be my psychiatrist

[@julietboardman6282]

cheekbones

[@evelynmanyara2872]

sounds like he really feels his way into a character

[@tharu123u]

When Sir Tom was a tall drink of pure joy😂

[@cre8tive1115]

Love, love, love Tom Hiddleston!!! This interview is mahvelous!!!! LOL XDDDD

[@jessicalamp9179]

Does this man ever age?

[@emmadodel]

[@JazzBlack]

He is amazing

[@jsouthwark]

I love how proud he sounds when he says he can still remember the car-horn song. xD

[@vanessacardui8487]

i love this guy.

[@maryc.5349]

Really interesting interview! I always enjoy them bc Tom seems such an amazing guy! I love him and it's good that he knows a lot about ancient greek bc I have some questions about it for the university lol the way he speaks omg ♥

[@dellasim7861]

I just feel that Tom was that dorky funny kid in school. 😘😘😘😘

[@leithian91]

Thank you for this amazing interview

[@catblues8645]

Oh he can read Ancient Greek and he LIKES it - *swooning*

[@daeve5520]

OMFG....minute 19:04 to 21:16 --> goose skin!

[@EcoCurious]

04:04 He even swears sexily. Sigh.

[@minseo8136]

Some people get immensely annoyed when people say "um" and "like" too much... However, in this case, I find it very arousing.

[@krishnazul]

I never noticed that and now i cant stop

[@85LesMiz0689]

It usually drives me crazy, but I don't seem to mind it with him.

[@ElizabethMackenzie69]

I like the interviewer

[@aliciasimmons7142]

9:52 Tom: Steady. Me: •red as fuck•

[@DayDreamer2192]

*Splutters* Did he say SORRY when being called "a bit of a smartie"?!?!?!

[@nitacruise]

Ultron aint shit,,it all about loki!you tom yes you!!I love tom!

[@topgurl9313]

yeah :p

[@faith9624]

32 wow .... i feel like im 50 and im 15 ........ hmmm

[@HelloBQ]

I've never related to a charecter ever more than Loki

[@mariae9800]

No Tom Hiddleston in Avengers 2??!!!!?????!!!

[@karinahw]

15:14

[@Elvira27]

Thor: The Dark World - Loki's a weird guy.

[@mangomusshi6542]

9:50 "tear my clothes off and hurl myself off the diving board- " *fangirls go crazy* "hey! steady…." ehhee

[@85LesMiz0689]

hilarious

[@lekharoy9479]

Lol I was looking for this comment 😂 He knows us too well

[@Leen95M]

10:59 DID THE MAN JUST APOLOGIZE FOR BEING HAPPY ??! i dont even know what to do anymore......

[@lisastriker7587]

Thomas "sorry" Hiddleston xD

[@rafangirl1]

Tom can take banal questions and make the answers fascinating. If only professors were as interesting and charming, no one would ever skip a class. He's talented, warm, funny, intelligent, and there is seemingly nothing he can't do. Love him!

[@MrsLovett25]

Thank you! Why can't we have professors that mirror this lovely man's attitude? Not that I don't appreciate the work most of them put in to teach us, but I feel like I've learned a lot more with Tom's general wisdom than I have compared to some of my other teachers in college. Tom for president and college English (or) Drama professor!

[@LilianaKali]

"Age of Loki." Get to work on that, internet.

[@xandrameza4161]

It must be done.

[@eunice3405]

good news they have well age of loki probably wont be the title but there is talk of a bbc series centering on loki and other marvel characters

[@Gitsie007]

Loki is not evil, he is just fucked up and made some really bad decisions. he is also very angry, lonely and hurt. Tom really understands the psychology of the charactor and the other charactors he has played. That is what makes him such a great actor.

[@VivaLaCalico]

I think he wants to be evil, because he wants so desperately to be Thor's equal, and he thinks that by being Thor's nemesis, he will be equal to him. If he can't be noticed as Thor's little brother, he wants to be noticed as the one who stands against Thor. But he can't quite do it, because of his conscience. He can't kill Thor, and it makes him feel weak, therefore repeating the cycle of self-worthlessness.

[@ohmaygod17]

VivaLaCalico exactly what i think!

[@LokiLaufeysonnrkjx]

You said it. Amen, brother! (or sister)

[@VivaLaCalico]

Loki Laufeyson (sister) Thank you, sir. It's only taken me three years and two psychology classes to be able to come to that conclusion, ahaha

[@Gitsie007]

You are right. Loki does love Thor and he is not completely evil. Like you said, he has a conscience. He does not want to be in his brother's shadow. Remember when he said "I never wanted the throne, I only want to be your equal."?

[@Kamahamaha1011]

Guy: He's just evil! Tom: (thinking) You unappreciative little bitch...

[@bellajuventina]

Instead, he says the most polite things because he is such a gentleman.

[@suitcheyhanbali]

the only time Tom gets sassy is when you talk about Loki

[@коммандерСпок-г2о]

Waw

[@artemistyx]

this is perfect. he is perfect. he said “thor: the dark world. loki is a weird guy" and i just laughed so hard and when he said "thanks for the sympathy. just worked 3 films, you know like, integrated psychology and all i get, “he’s just evil” great!" i stoped the video and i cried laughing and i waited a few seconds to can breathe again despite the funny things i think that this is a very instructive conversation and tom must be a life coach :D

[@silviahannak3213]

That was a very honest reaction. Made it funny but he might be not happy with it. What about the other villains? Are they not bad as same as his Charakter? So all Marvel Villains are just misunderstood? So why don't we like them as well as L. ?

[@koerstnK]

At 15:21 he s just sooo relateable. 🤣😍👍

[@mackidragon6693]

I can see him as a history teacher ^-^

[@tantnikki]

Hundreds of fan fiction writers whole-heartedly agree with you haha! :D

[@omirandao7958]

9:52 "Steady!" this man is gold XD

[@bellajuventina]

Loki is such a complex character and Tom explains him very well. So much eloquence. why can't all men be like him.

[@natalieelessar]

When he said "steady" i felt like he was speaking to me 😂❤️

[@aineella8711]

Natalie SM 😂

[@ThePaliQueen21]

If I had just ONE teacher like Mr. Tom Hiddleston who is very intelligent, educated and just explains things very well, I would definitely be a whole different person. That is one of the main reasons I keep finding myself watching him over and over again.

[@xanaminx]

This. He should really teach. Something. Anything.

[@hannahbrown8488]

When people swear, it's usually unattractive to me, but when Tom swears, it's incredibly sexy. Ehehehe he says the 'f' word at around 4:03.

[@camlashawnn]

Hannah brown And @ 13:25

[@lisaellis2593]

Exactly!

[@elyntuebon7729]

"He's just evil" and here you can see proof that Tom Hiddleston is just Loki disguised as a Midgardian

[@itsdazzhiachannel4788]

Elyntu Ebon right! I noticed that!

[@itsdazzhiachannel4788]

Elyntu Ebon and the good luck with that lol.

[@ambash2]

As much as I love his acting and look forward to watching him, I also can't help but think what a difference he could make if he were to be an advisor, mentor, or a professor. The passion and enthusiasm he has and shows so freely and with such joy is what would make students of any age want to learn and enjoy going to class. I know what a difference it'd have made for me if I had any teacher with even half his wisdom and inspiration. Tom surely shines bright wherever and in whatever he is doing in his life. Bless him!!

[@midgetheneko1120]

Well said

[@tantnikki]

Hear hear! Your comment is so beautifully put and I agree with every word. However I do think Tom is making a difference just by being who he is and being so generous in interviews (and let's not forget his work with Unicef!) A lot of things he has said has gone on to inspire so many of his fans to follow their dreams and/or be better people. I read so many comments to videos like these were people share how something Tom said made them change or improve their lives. Long live Tom! :)

[@KIgarashi10969]

TOM: 'He’s just evil', from the front! (sarcastically) thanks for the sympathy! Just worked three films, you know like, integrated psychology and all I get, “He’s just evil.” -- Nobody can just simply judge Loki ESPECIALLY in front of Tom without getting a sass comeback. We love you Tom Hiddleston!

[@ghofspa1]

lol, I love it how he stopped for a moment just to deal with that guy.

[@johnmitchell5060]

Loki/Tom Hiddleston is the God of Sass!!

[@eunice3405]

😃 loved how he reacted!

[@charitysweethart]

Tom is such a beautiful person inside as much as he is outside. I really enjoy listening to him because he speaks so well and everything he says seems inspirational.

[@jenrm6660]

Oh thank you for sharing this interview. Really, it comes from the heart. It's like getting closer to tom, getting to know him better. He kind of fills me with his wisdom, his passion and his enthousiasm. I love how he describes the pool and the way he would tear up his clothes (hmm...good for my imagination...) and jump with no regards about the consequences... he would just dive in, so he would never look back and say that he should have... you know. I like that. Each word that comes from his (very attractive) mouth is really not a waste of time. It's a real pleasure and it's fulfilling to listen this great man talking. Thanks a lot. Go for the 2nd part!

[@anniespadorcia4570]

He is so inspiring. The "I wish I had" part truly spoke to me. I quit school and kind of ruined my life. And it was out of fear. I always acted like I never cared. I can see what he's saying. Well now I'm going to make the best of my life. I'll work hard with what I can do, never be afraid to follow my dreams. Thank you, Tom. You're truly incredible. Very inspiring! And handsome!!

[@Candlekeepdeep]

Good luck with everything! :)

[@Nunu2097]

good luck girl ! he inspires me too ....

[@manyebuchel127]

Hey, same here. I was just about to take tests for graduating and had so much going on that was keeping me from being serious and I quit, even though my headmaster asked me not to and promised to help me through this hard time. I was so scared of failing and pretended not to care and hearing Tom´s words really got me. I have always regretted not trying..but I must say, I was in mayor trouble, being homeless for some time and could just not see the light and started taking drugs to numb myself and I wish I would have taken that hand reaching out for me. But as Tom said. FEAR. After so many people letting me down or me letting people let me down I will now the wiser say, I just did not believe in the helping hand…wish you the best. Follow your dreams! That is the main reason I watch Tom`s "speeches". Of course because he is soooo attractive, but it has turned into wanting to be inspired.

[@tantnikki]

That's awesome! Hope everything is going well for you Annie and good luck!

[@musicsfan1]

9:53 "Steady!" i can't stop laughing!

[@ambash2]

Same here! He was talking to all of us. He knew once his words "tear my own clothes off" came out where we were all going with that. Anytime I hear Steady now I'll be picturing him!!

[@JedaqiaAngel]

I love these kinda long interview where actors talk about their work; especially British actors because they usually have theater background. That somehow makes them articulate and so fascinating to listen to.

[@positivelypetpartners]

This is the same Tom Hiddleston 4 years ago as today. Fame hasnt changed him and he is so very humble which adds to his charm and magnetism. I hope he always stays like this and I believe he will. #tomhiddleston

[@meenu2912]

Yes he will. But for one thing he has changed, he is not goofy as he used to be.

[@Brisingam]

@@meenu2912 20016-2017 killed him in a way. It's so sad...

[@OkihikaImasu]

I just love the way he talks so sophisticated and uses such nice vocabulary. And then he just goes like "fuck it c'mon". ehehehe He is so multifaceted, talented and soooo gourgeous... I'd give nearly everything to meet him just once in my life in person! And the way he talks about "getting to know Loki" *-* sooo beautifully explanations of what he has to go through.

[@DayDreamer2192]

"Steady!" Makes me smile every damn time!

[@Msluvsweden]

Really good interviewer with very intelligent questions. The interviewee is as brilliant as ever of course.

[@Carolaina92]

I just love listening to him, not only because he has a great voice, but the things he has to say are amazing.

[@cu2524]

His educational profile is beyond normal and it’s good for him that he can use his knowledge in his career and expand it into every job he’s in. I’m happy for him that he could hold on to what he love, and what he’s good at-the classics, Greek mythology, Shakespeare-and use them to relate to his work. I’m in the same age as him. I’ve been working for 15 years in my career and still don’t know if I like my job.

[@cnoelad83]

Who's watching this in 2022 and Tom is now 41?

[@karinacruz53]

I am!!!!

[@thestrugglingwriter5254]

Me in 2023

[@Kxlsie]

2024 now

[@MrsLovett25]

Oh my darling

[@perfectionista492]

You and me both.

[@jking4862]

Ohhh... that man there i couldnt meet. I could not.it would be... disaterous.

[@MrsLovett25]

Disastrous indeed...how many of us would be a quivering mass of limbs with this man?

[@jking4862]

I definitly would be a, wreck, at best.

[@MrsLovett25]

*Sighs* why can't he clone himself like Loki can?

[@franciscasusilawatirimbaja2960]

Have you ever seen the video of Tom performed "Electra" by Sophocles on stage during his days in Cambridge University? He spoke the whole dialogue in ancient Greek! Amazing!

[@NessaIP]

I love how he just can't stop talk.He has to say so many things and this is amazing because he says them in an amazing ways ... He's remarkable.

[@marion6538]

My favourite interview of him. He’s such a wise and smart person, it’s always a pleasure to listen to him talking... The way his brain functions never ceases to amaze me :’)

[@ivorywings6094]

People that are saying that recently he is less energetic and not as happy recently. I really hope that's not the case. He once said to not let people change who you are, and I hope he takes his own advice and keeps up his happiness and cheerful disposition. He deserves to be happy, and it kinda broke my heart when he apologized for being happy in this interview. It may just be a habit he has to over-apologize because he's really sweet, but I know that can be a weakness too as I used to have something like that myself, over apologizing for things that weren't necessary. He's a good man and I wish him the very best, and I hope he can block out more of the hatred and the negative voices that try to tell him who he isn't.

[@ellisk8139]

Guys, seriously, if you like writing, watching interviews with actors like this is amazing! It helps with realizing how to develop a character, etc.

[@ElMona]

Such intelligent answers! So smart and humble, and his passion and hard work make you really realize how much he deserves his success!

[@melisroom]

I feel like Tom would have loved the Percy Jackson books becuase I think they are exactly what he said that he loved in his childhood...

[@Zombizzz007]

How can there be no loki in the avengers 2!! Tom once said " there is no thor without loki and there is no loki without thor" wich is absolutely true!! I mean..... WHY!?!? :'(

[@lizabth247]

Watch Thor 2 and you'll know

[@nathaliebazinga]

lizabth247 know what? That Loki's on the throne?

[@AngelaSmith0028222]

I've just figured out why all of these Tom interviews are so long, he gives these brilliant complex, but really long answers to so many questions, especially about Loki.

[@hannahjackson858]

This man inspires me so much!!! He is one of the reasons why I want to be an actress and strive everyday to become a better one! Even though it may never happen I really hope and pray that I work with him one day! It would be a dream come true to work with such an amazing actor

[@zombieedrea]

He's really quite intelligent. I love watching his interviews because he always has something interesting to say. and hearing him curse is always nice, too. lol

[@lesleyhawes6895]

"Quite!" Intelligent!! Tom Hiddleston is super-intelligent, no question!

[@jaituekenny]

- You're always so happy goddamnit ! - I'm so sorry. Most adorable man on earth.
