WATCH: Tom Hiddleston & Josie Rourke in Conversation - AH / JW3 Speaker Series

[@krishayvetteayson9324]

If he is my professor, I'll never get bored of school .

[@kjama1]

"There are as many stories as there are people on this planet" a really nice quote...

[@zlaja991]

I could listen to him for hours, he is so natural and passionate about acting that you can't stop listening to him. Very inspiring man.

[@rolandovillazonify]

I totally agree with you!

[@cozyjuni]

THIS. I agree 100 %

[@juhishrivastava1167]

My Heart goes out for this man. He is so generous and kind and vastly knowledgeable. I am not familiar with the Shakspeare' s work, so I didn't understand the lingo of it and this video, but I can listen to this man all day. With every word, he shares a story, and his hard work reflects from his words. He never says that he is very talented always give credit to his teachers and his fellow mates. Always emphasized his education's importance, which I believe is the key to success in general as well. I wish I would have known him somehow, he seems like someone I can share my issues, and he will hear me out wholeheartedly and give me good advice. God Bless you, Tom Hiddleston. You are one of a kind, I so glad you exist. 🙏

[@sarahwithanh9758]

I’ve been doing Shakespeare since I was probably about 4 or 5 (my first Shakespeare play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream), so I understand Shakespearean speech. It makes it so much more interesting when you understand it. :)

[@acavell6184]

Get study notes on Romeo and Juliet for high school students ,they teach you the meaning of the story in new (modern)English and old English in a less energy sucking way

[@acavell6184]

Some people might think if you live in England you speak old English (thou instead of you for instance)but their is no one ,some people (very few)might use thou or thee but nothing else, so Tom is correct ,he doesn't speak it for a large amount of his life,so it's still acting, rehearsing like anyone from any country, he just likes mimicry ,good at accents ,I was born in England lived here my whole life, still can't fully understand Shakespeare,Chaucer is interesting but read Shakespeare first,sad that accents are dying out , he had a very privileged education ,I sort of did but no acting,it does make speaking Shakespeare easier.

[@fure8015]

His voice has this calming and soothing effect on me. I always listen to his long interviews whenever I'm panicked or stressed and it calms me down a lot.

[@marcierudolph8735]

Me too! I could listen to him read my prescription inserts. My co-workers know to start one of his audiobooks for me when I get overwhelmed and panicky.

[@HimeNoKuri]

Fure same here!!

[@TheStonesQT93]

I listen to Cumberbatch to sleep 😂 I have sleeping problems and it helps a lot. If I had enough money I’d pay him to read me bed time stories.

[@AngmohTsaoReborn]

I’m feeling the same, that’s why I’m listening to this interview whilst working on an artwork... hahaha

[@Vonnies1929]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@aishwaryasrivastava6181]

I like how the comments sections of every video with Tom Hiddleston anywhere in it is filled with people collectively agreeing that Tom is a God who should have his own religion.

[@AnimeToonist]

"...people collectively agreeing that Tom is a God who should have his own religion." It's a running theme in a subgroup of Norse Paganism that Loki (the actual god) loves Tom's representation. Tom evidently actually has a god as a fan.

[@amritas2400]

Tomism

[@graceholbert2126]

And by "people" you mean teenage girls.

[@annatamparow4917]

Certainly, as Loki is the master of fire: both destructive and life-giving, and the god of mischief!

[@brandonburrell8517]

No.

[@vishnupriyas5578]

The emphasis on truth seems to extend so much beyond acting! The man radiates honesty even in real life. Always a pleasure to watch Tom Hiddleston interviews, and listen to his deep and meaningful reflections on everything under the sun.

[@jwvandegronden]

Beautiful comment, leaves nothing to be underscored. Profound, thank you for making my initial comment utterly obsolete ;-)

[@janetkinosian1469]

This is a real master class in acting and theater ... not all directors or actors are as articulate as thesevtwo intelligent and skilled people.

[@FLAMINGNORA]

He's so modest about his own abilities and complements others so much. Lovely person.

[@chld.8447]

I love his voice I love the way he think And the way he speek I love the silence In the middle of his sentence Because he want to speak As well as his heart feels

[@Arshiya-bq4gd]

This is so weird but Tom Hiddleston work ethic makes me motivated to study😅😅😅 I’m a Medical student btw😂😂😂

[@Mon_nutella]

Sameeeeeee

[@samriddhachakraborty2382]

So true. Me too. He inspires transcending academic borders. I'm a medical student too.

[@stellaevans7969]

[@ryanp413]

Quite possibly the most humble actor I have ever had the pleasure of listening to as a human being.

[@siseneg2589]

This kind of actors are those who need to be in the industry, in the future I see he with an Oscar

[@victoriaalmtroberg4681]

We need to protect this man !!🤲🏻

[@suricatavoxable]

I was the first person to ask a question, both the most exciting and embarrasing moment of my life :D

[@marcellelourenco204]

Vc É brasileira ?

[@lltbcke]

I'd have died in your place.

[@LJTellez]

I thought that was a great question you asked, and I agree with you that the series kinda dropped the ball in developing that relationship with Sophie and Jonathan. The first time I saw the episode I was confused why he was that upset over her, then saw an interview with Tom where he talked about Jonathan being in love with Sophie. I've watched the series many times now and I still think they should have filmed more scenes with them to ensure that the audience believed that they were in love.

[@franciscasusilawatirimbaja2960]

M. Pereira I think you did a good job with your question about the depth of Sophie’s character in The Night Manager. Well done. 👍

[@pamrogers5979]

(With Sophie - even dead she later got him through his incarceration and torture (in the book)

[@AuroraChernobyl]

Tom is a practicing professor. I wonder why no university has given him any Honorary Doctorates, neither the Royal Household even considers to give him a knighthood for his services in theatre and drama, when we already know that Benedict Cumberbatch has already been a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Poor my perfect gentleman Tom.

[@kasala965]

57:46 Can't get enough of the La Fortaleza story 😂 also Tom speaking Spanish 😍👌

[@saherthegreat]

I watched this 1 hour and 24 minutes interview of Tom and I didn’t understand anything they talked about but just watching him talk is so fascinating

[@yoshimimiyazaki3482]

I loved listening to Tom talk about 'being truthful in imaginary circumstances' it makes total sense. As a writer, this is what I attempt to do as I create a story with people who are in my imagination and I write as truthful as I can. I imagine that this understanding happens in any mode of creativity such as performers/singers, poets, painters. The process has to appear to be real, truthful. A slice of life. Tom is so great, self effacing and his sense of humor is wonderful. What a lovely human being he is. I wish I could see him in 'Betrayal' -- I'm in California so I don't see my being able to see the play.

[@ellenmayfield1882]

I always love that I learn something from Tom. He's so eloquent when he speaks, and makes sure you understand where he's coming from. I like that he likes to make a connection with his audiences whenever he is in front of one.

[@kpixyheartsMJ4Ever]

God he's so well spoken 😍😍

[@harlinaindra6679]

Tom Hiddleston should be a lecturer at RADA

[@kjama1]

Well, he isn´t? I ´ve got the impression that he is or was a mentor to those young actors in RADA... He talked about the experience once.

[@sreelakshmiav5544]

His hands are so beautiful 🤗😍😇👐💓

[@megajessicabts]

He is amazing!!!!😍😍😍

[@sndybb]

Gorgeous hands.

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

I am just in awe of this man who I probably wouldn't even meet in person but he just exudes such humanity. I hope he doesn't get jaded because of Hollywood.

[@GibbsVSTony]

I thought that too at least 2 months ago... and yesterday I got my photo with him and could tell him how awesome he is in all kinds of ways ❤❤❤

[@marik3616]

Omg he went to Eton College, Cambridge University and even RADA... What a CV dayum

[@Sarah-if4dm]

The life of a privileged white male...

[@rachelhoyle5728]

@Sarah Khader What are you talking about? Obviously his parents worked hard enough to put him through his education. Any person with any skin color and gender is capable of putting their child through excellent education if the parent is willing to do the hard work and be smart and wise with life choices. You will reap what you sow. You could also succeed and put your child through the best education and your child could be lazy and ruin the legacy. But obviously Tom was responsible and did the right thing, made good choices and put in the effort. You think his skin color got him to where he is? Ridiculous! If that was the case, all white people would be rich, successful and popular. Your statement is unacceptable.

[@HimeNoKuri]

Rachel Hoyle exactly!!

[@AnjanaBSubba]

@@Sarah-if4dm the life of talented and driven human being.

[@juhishrivastava8031]

@@Sarah-if4dm you know, his father is from a very poor family in Scotland. He worked so hard to make his life better. He became a scientist and gradually become the head of the company or you can say the managing director. He worked so hard all his life so he can afford the best education for his kids. Of course Tom's mother is from a relatively well settled family but she was a single mother taking care of three children it's not that easy then it sounds. In no way I am mocking you, you may have seen some people who may have had the liberty to be privileged but it's not their fault it's just the situation that they are into. I know sometimes it feels unfair but it's okay don't loose hope stay positive focus on the right things and work hards so in future your kids wouldn't feel the same as you. keep calm and love Tom Hiddleston 😆

[@hannahmaria9021]

I just love hearing Tom talk about his craft. He's just so good. He's a wonderful talent, I imagine anyone who has the opportunity to work alongside him feels very lucky.

[@elliciaodell9386]

I love this man so much. I have never heard of a human being so Kind, generous, intelligent, articulate and devouted. He is so amazing and talented. I appreciate all his work and effort. Its really interesting to watch him in interviews and to see him talk about all theae fascinating things. I really hope that I can meet him someday; What an Honour it would be.

[@mariaschukariova3438]

As a student of acting school, I really love to listen to Tom and his opinion of acting, the way of acting. I love the way he works with the material and what acting result he gives in the films and theatre plays. Such a dedicated actor

[@HelenFeriante]

I'm in complete awe of Tom's beautiful, intellectual mind. His articulation of words speaks to my soul - not to mention his fascinating good looks :) Every time he is on screen, I am drawn only to him as he steals the scene/show.

[@ximiinv1727]

I absolutley cannot think of anything that could make him even more perfect

[@digcarb8009]

I really enjoy the director's way of thinking and how she is so meticulous and detail oriented in her thought process and management. Then I find out that SHE is the director for Mary Queen of Scots! Now I am even more excited about the film because she is so intelligent, I am hoping that it's not just going to be another pretty historical costume drama. Fingers crossed.

[@subhaanneperera8397]

I know nothing about acting. I don't particularly want to be an actor. But this talk was ridiculously compelling regardless, and it seems a lot of people in the comments feel this way too. The impression I get is of someone who tries to consider deeply and learn from every facet of his life, someone who strives to face every moment with courage and empathy and a commitment to authenticity. This kind of considered life is getting rarer and rarer. It's quite frankly scary to live like that, it demands a lot of you; but you and the people around you are all the better for it. I think that cultivating such an attitude in your life has the side effect of making you magnetic in a way. It gives you that contagious spark that frees others to mirror your vulnerability. I don't know if that kind of attitude can be taught, exactly, but he should consider giving it a red-hot go, because society will only be better off for it; write a book, do a TED talk. Run a masterclass; acting, speaking, Shakespeare - anything. It doesn't matter what, because teaching imparts a philosophy, a wisdom, not just facts. People like this, the best of us - we need teachers like this. Thank you for posting this video.

[@heathercontois4501]

I am dieing to sit down and have a few cups of coffee/tea with some cookies with this man and just really talk about anything.

[@aussiemandy]

I had been waiting for this to appear on KZbin and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Tom & Josie have such respect for each other. This is Tom at his best, when he has time to think and share those wonderfully articulate words of wisdom.

[@maryn9041]

Great interview! Tom is so articulate and well-spoken. I love how he gives a plug for Josie’s movie Mary Queen of Scots and how excited he gets for it. Such a genuine human being.

[@ninak.5283]

Actors who bring truth into imaginary circumstances are the ones who make me forget that I see an actor on screen/stage and that make me believe that I see the characters they play. For example, in Thor that was **Loki**, not Tom as Loki, that's how believable/truthfull he was.

[@mayamaziashvili1763]

He is such a class act! And what a joy to listen to someone talk with such passion about their work.

[@devosmitaghosh1493]

Tom's legs are longer than my life!! 😍

[@MsCrystalxx]

look how fluffy he is :3

[@saltymarshmallo]

His hair tho *It's way nicer when it's like this*

He is so animated when he tells a story.

[@kalki3060]

Such an intelligent man,he is so eloquent and articulate... He is a true inspiration

[@d.h.3602]

Wow, what a great "interview" Josie was so nice to let Tom Hiddleston speak & he do it with his whole heart ❤ He tells us so much from his fun to do his work. You can feel it, Tom is so happy that he can do what he loves. To be an actor ! It's really amazing to listen to him ...and Josie of course. It's also sweet, not only Tom speak with his hands ...both do it. I like that really much. It's another part of acting. We see them, hear their voices and their hands have an acting part too. TYSM for sharing the whole interview. I love the last part too, when Tom talk about his love to his role as #Loki ❤📑📚🎬 TY😘

[@sweetyy5203]

I like these long interviews. So fascinating and calming.

[@sallydillon4740]

He’s so articulate, so humble, so intelligent. Getting thin, maybe for the Loki series? The beard would need to go!

[@d.h.3602]

Sally Dillon Do you really think the beard will be gone for #Loki 🙄🤔😏 Do you know the comic #Loki wear a short beard ...so let's wait, what will really happen with his handsome face 🙂😍 I love #TomHiddleston with an really short cutted beard too (like in #HenryV ) I'm sooo excited. I think he'll be shooting something else next year too cuz the series will be a short series. Ohhh the end of 2019 is really much to far away. The hiatus will kill us...

[@ame8710]

Nooooooooooooooooo! Not the beard! Please! Not the beard!!!!

[@barrettzbrowning]

Sally Dillon agree about the beard. It ages him by a decade. Still appealing tho! The Oxford Don look appeals to the scholar in me

[@lesleyhawes6895]

Think about the good side, if we watch KZbin we have the 10 years ago Loki, but we also have Tom as he is today, bearded, bespectacled, more mature, but still beautiful!

[@icy_hot_westcoast1773]

Before I knew Tom Hiddleston was playing Loki, I was so marveled (pun intended XD)at his performance at Tom's character and how excellent he is on point with this character that we all got to understand and love,then it came to my mind that I wanted to know who played as Loki and learn more about Tom..but once I heard the name "Tom Hiddleston" my eyes were wide open XD so from then on I researched and learned more about Tom's personality then I realized that his Personality is so relatable to mine.. due to the fact that we both love doing impressions (which I do all the time) and we both play music, both kind and caring, I could keep going all day X3 I'm not British, I'm an American girl who looks like him but feminine 😂 and I'm not the same age as him unfortunately but he as inspired me so much that it made me cry because when he went to ace comic con in Chicago when he said "we all have moments of doubt but if we just hold each other through the uncertainty we'll get through it together" I cried full of joy when I watched that video.. because it gave me so much motivation to move past my depression of my condition of Scoliosis and I'm so great full that this wonderful man was brought to this world from God..💙 i haven't met him yet but hopefully soon I can..but may God bless this beautiful man.. Amen 💙💙

[@TVXQsam]

I, too, have scoliosis. 😭 it's really depressing to me but this man we adore so much, he always made my day..😍😍😍

[@natyvasova90]

There is something in him, that makes my heart to want to explode from exciment and passion and happines. But at the same time, it gives me peace and calm. I feel like the heart opens and tríes to capture all he is saying. Remember it, live it as he says. This kind of speech holds so deep and estimulates the exercise of thinking. He is not only handsome, he is a beautiful human being.

[@HimeNoKuri]

I love so much how he generously gives extra time to ppl who ask the questions! :)

[@amiraferjani8637]

[@pf3573]

there were so many amazing things said in this interview. i'm a high school student who wishes to be a (screen)writer some day and watching these artists speak so honestly on the subject of art and putting parts of yourself into it really inspires me. also, i am so excited for the Loki series :D

[@heathercontois4501]

I really can't get enough of watching this interview. It really has so many layers and you have to watch it more than once to catch them all.

[@tamlaparris-ba5402]

Brenda Fuller, I agree. And when he wins his Oscar, there will be a huge cheer in the room from all the other actors who've had the pleasure of working with him. Because his other legacy is being the nicest man in Hollyweird to work with😊

[@yasnav.8040]

Tom always reveals his feelings talking to the people,being an interwiev,or just few words..But the secret of his acting is this,he knows,that an actor must hide its feelings,thus able to express the feeling of character he plays..

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Wow, I had no head he read Classics at Cambridge. Formidable mind for sure.

[@giulias.5104]

The power of articulating about, really, anything of our humanness goes really deep: it really fullfill a very deep need of us! And anyone able to do it, is, by us, deeply loved. ..for me. Thank you all for sharing.

[@Malak-ox1oh]

I've always thought about acting the same way as his . You put yourself in the character's situation , then you feel that feeling and you know what you should do .

[@whf5667]

His intelligence is charming.

Despite the differences between Tom Hiddleston and, let's say, Tom Hardy's interviews, we love them both. One isn't more uptight than the other, or less refined than the other, because they're just different people, with their own lovable natures. It really should be like that for everyone else in the world XD
