I dont think you do have to 'give yourself away' I think a lot of people choose to...

raisedbyguineapigs · 20/06/2016 23:00

I think the problem is that Reality TV stars make a living out of giving everything away, because they have nothing else to give but more and more of their private lives away. So the public then expect to know about the private lives of every famous person. Some refuse to play the game, but some choose to do it as a price for the higher level of fame.

american He is nice, I'm sure, or as nice as all slebs are when touting their wares. It is PR and he is an actor after all but he seems nice enough.
But, tis how it's done in the UK...We build 'em up then knock 'em down as soon as they look like they're starting to be a bit cocky. successful
Only exceptions are those with National Treasure Status.
I loved The night manager but found Tom to be a bit bland. A bit Keanu. I guess that was him acting 'enigmatic'. Nonetheless I enjoyed it. My other half then showed me him dancing to prove he did in fact have a personality.
I liked that too. Then saw the Graham Norton show where he did impressions and thought, fair enough, I can't do impressions. Saw him sucking up to Samuel L Jackson and I thought Well, it IS Samuel L Jackson.
But I now think it was probably better when I knew nothing about him at all. He will be fine if he gets Bond. Genuinely. He showed in The night manager he can do the kick ass part of that role. gloria it is worth seeing, if only for Olivia Coleman and Hugh Laurie and Tom Hollander, who steals every scene he's in. Just don't do what I did and try to get your hair cut like Elizabeth ''floating goddess'' Debicki. But seeing Tom being aloof, secretive and enigmatic rather than LookAt Me Geri style, might change your mind.
I haven't seen Tom as Loki but gather he did a good job.
The problem with seeming try hard though is you come over as desperate.
The problem with ubiquity is you lose your mystique.
The problem with inane grinning/dancing/posing in 70s playboy poses/ becoming a 'power couple' is that you start to lose your credibility.

He speaks very highly of me ;-)
no, actually he said ''haters never win'' so quite clearly, he is Tailor made (see what I did there?!) for Taylor ''haters gonna hate x5'' Swift.

raisedbyguineapigs · 20/06/2016 23:19

He is good as Loki I love Loki I think the problem is that he seems to be dripping with desperation. He's 35. If you're going to be a fame whore, do it at the beginning of your career,dont have a complete personality change seemingly on a whim! People are going to look Hmm

nicenewdusters · 20/06/2016 23:19

Gloria : The Night Manager is, in my opinion, so good you need to put Tom and his pants/Taylor/the dancing etc to one side. Olivia Coleman is utterly amazing. I never manage to watch a whole series of anything so had given up. Watched The Night Manager on a box set over the course of two days. It's like one of those books that you love so much you feel sad that you'll never get to read it from scratch again.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 20/06/2016 23:20

My favourite quote on fame/celebrity was by the late John Peel about his fellow DJs (talking to Simon Garfield in his book about radio 1, the nation's favourite):

People like Mike Read and DLT would often complain that they couldn't go anywhere without being recognised, but of course would go everywhere in a tartan suit carrying a guitar, so they would have attracted attention in a lunatic asylum.

DaleMaily · 20/06/2016 23:28

Yes, TNM definitely worth watching for Olivia Colman alone.

MrsJayy · 21/06/2016 00:05

I love Loki he is hilarious and very naughtyGrin TH is a good actor imo i just dont understand the pants and swanning abouton TS private jet i reckon he has a new agent it doesnt suit him

MrsJayy · 21/06/2016 00:09

And the Night Manager is brilliant I didnt think i would like it we recorded it and watched itover 2 nights too its edge of your seat stuff an about to drop a baby olivia coleman makes it imo

UnGoogleable · 21/06/2016 10:43

When you're in a 'high profile' new relationship and the girls ex looks like that in his pants (CH... good god in heaven), then it is extremely ill advised to try your own cringey pants photo shoot. Especially a 'reclining in baggy pants' shoot. Crrrrrrrriiiiiinge.

I read that Calvin Harris is 6ft6. He's divine isn't he

I had no idea who he was until last week

DaleMaily · 21/06/2016 12:17

My DH's nephew is a DJ. Although he is very small now, he is on a par with/better looking than Calvin Harris as he is now. Now I'm worried all he'll need is some success and to get ripped like CH and he'll be off around the world, dating megastars and we'll never see him again.

TheAntiBoop · 21/06/2016 12:23

Keep feeding him plenty of cake dale. It's for his own good

WindPowerRanger · 21/06/2016 12:52

Oh, he did! Look:

Shirkingfromhome · 21/06/2016 13:19

Ever since this thread started it's been puzzling me where I've seen TH's poutybutpuzzled look before. Blue Steel anyone?

Tom Hiddleston dating Taylor Swift
DaleMaily · 21/06/2016 14:34

I will do Boop!

Ha yes shirking! Perfect. Though it's almost a troubled look, you're not supposed to look troubled in a boxers shoot, he looks a bit like there's someone picking on him from behind the camera.

WindPowerRanger · 21/06/2016 15:30

Agree-he looks as though he is thinking 'Is my dick big enough?'

SlowJinn · 21/06/2016 16:11

Love this thread. I'm a big fan of irreverent and irrelevant sleep gossip and am partial to a bit of Swifty on my iPod - Out Of The Woods is a great track to run to, followed by Style (supposed to be about Harry One Direction).

Tayto/Tiddles are the perfect celeb pairing - those baggy knickers though Shock plus it leaves gorgeous Calvin free for me...

SlowJinn · 21/06/2016 16:11

Sleep = sleb

TheAntiBoop · 21/06/2016 16:41

He looks like he's looking for his mummy to get him out of this ridiculous situation

squoosh · 21/06/2016 16:49

He looks desperately uncomfortable in the photos. In his psare time he should be going to the rugby or walking a chocolate lab in the park, like the other nice upper middle class boys do. Not prancing around in his undercrackers like some showy.......foreigner.

It's just not cricket.

MrsJayy · 21/06/2016 16:52

Seeee catalouge man 😂 its just so cringy Tom please stop it

MrsJayy · 21/06/2016 17:01

Urgh Catalogue*

TheSpottedZebra · 22/06/2016 08:08

The PR barrage continues. Now they've both been to a Selena Gomez concert together. There were (grainy) pics of course. And enthusiastic dancing.

MrsJayy · 22/06/2016 08:25

Oh god enthusiastic dancing Hmm

TheAntiBoop · 22/06/2016 08:35

And there's a really naff quote along the lines of

Tom wants to please Taylor and makes an effort with her friends. Taylor likes that about Tom.
