I used to fancy him so much! Particularly in The Night Manager. I definitely would (have). But since he started dating Taylor Swift, I've gone right off him.
Now I quite like Taylor Swift. Her album's pretty good and she seems like she's a good mate. But I just can't take him seriously now I've seen pictures of him wearing an "I❤️T.S" vest. She has literally killed his sexy.
Now Calvin Harris, on the other hand... I still would. I'm here for him.

Same thing happened with Henry Cavill when he started dating that 19 year-old. Put me right off him!

The whole Tom Hiddleston as sex object concept baffles me. I have never seen him in anything, but to me he is just weird-looking.

TS seems to be having a rare old time with it all. Good for her.

I agree!

I don't hate Taylor Swift, but I just really don't enjoy her at all. She's just too much.

What would they have in common other than a love of fireflies and shooting stars? (What I think all of her songs sound like)

He was so dashing. Now I just look at him and think, get real.

Taylor Swift has always come across as a conceited precocious person. I can't get on board with anything she's involved in. I do think this is some sort of international world-stage performance art-eque show. Both of them are twats.

I quite like TS. I don't listen to that kind of music, but if I did, I'd listen to her.

I don't think she'll come out of this badly. Whereas Tom will/has.

I fell exactly the same as you, OP.

I am actually angry about them dating because I just cannot take it seriously. I saw pics of him at her 4th July bash at her house and he looked so out of place! I really hopeit is a farce but then I'm sad he stooped to that level for PR.

TS ruined him

No strong feelings about TS, though I don't mind some of her songs. She does seem a little young.

The T-shirt was cringy, but I really have never seen the Tom Hiddleston-sex symbol thing at all. He looked so out of place - like the creepy uncle.

The 'Pants' photoshoot looked awkward at best, he always looks a little pained, but then again I can't see the fascination with Benedict Cumberbatch either.

But Aiden Turner.......now you're talking!

I don't get him at all.
Jessie Pavelka on the other hand - oh yes please.....

I also don't find him sexy at all. Especially with miss 'Everybody's watching her' Don't get me wrong, I really like and enjoy what Taylor is doing but I also think she's a ballistic bitch. Smile

Oh no, he was definitely sexy- have you seen his ice bucket challenge? I needed an ice bucket myself after watching that!!

Never got the attraction tbh, I think he looks odd is a rubbish actor and frankly looks better with his clothes on than off.
But each to their own Wink

I reckon he's the type to lurk in doorways rubbing his hands together.
I bet her 'squad' will be staging an intervention soon.

I have gone right off him too. They are such an odd couple, how could their relationship be real. They have the square root of bugger all in common. They both just look desperate and a lot cringeworthy.

Totally agree, seriously hotter than a hot thing in planet hotsville as Loki now Taylor Swift sham makes him look a total douche.

I'd rather he just come out as gay if indeed he is but stop the PR shite.

Totally agree - never thought he was swoon-worthy but definitely had potential. Now both him and TS seem utterly desperate.

The nail in the coffin for me was when he was interviewed on the street in Australia about TS and he gave some totally faux-coy response like "I'd rather not talk about it, I'd rather talk about my work" all the while they're fannying about together all over the world desperate for everyone to see them! So totally unattractive that someone who is that keen for attention will try and pretend they don't absolutely love it.

Agree with PP who said I bet neither of their teams saw it working out this way. Also, why would you choose Hiddle over Calvin?!?

There's a fab thread in Sleb Twaddle running about TayTo, they're nearly at the end of thread 3 and it's been all rather enjoyable, between DM SBoS tabloid updates and general disdain for the whole spectacle.
One poster has NCd to TomHiddlestonsDignity... Grin

Thor 3 just started filming, so more Loki due soon to restore some semblance of attractiveness. Or not perhaps. Sad times. I enjoyed my crush on him, and was sad to see it wither and die in the face of that bloody vest.

If only he'd kept the suits on. He looks so much better clothed.

He had something about him before. It was a kind of shy mystery. He wasn't classically a tom hardy sex God. He was cute and then got a little bit sexy when he was all a bit of a naughty public school boy with someone's girlfriend in Night Manager. Now he is holding a lighter up at a TS concert and knows all the words to blank space. No allure

He is so very very gay. And if he isn't, my gaydar is broken. I've never found him attractive but he's even less attractive post-Swiftom.

He was mysterious and a bit elusive before - now he has handed himself to us on a plate in a white TS bloody vest. Sold out to the highest bidder.

I still think gay men can be sexy. I don't think he is gay. I think he likes gaze at TS with a little smile while you while in the missionary position asking if everything is ok in a very polite manner and folds his pants

I wasn't terribly into him before but the TS thing is definitely cringeworthy. The fact that they both obviously LOVE the attention they're getting makes it even worse. He better not turn out to be the next James Bond, he just hasn't got it.

As someone who generally wouldn't leave the house without some makeup on I hypocritically find the fact that he clearly blow dries his curly hair straight every morning a huge turn off! Perhaps that's how he and TS first bonded - over straightening their curly locks ;)

*sigh.. The ice bucket challenge days Blush I do have quite the crush on him, especially liking the balance of nerdy shyness and mysterious gentlemanly hotness, but it's all been blown out of the water now. He's either playing a meeja game, or being naïve and frankly rather desperate. Someone else nailed it with the Tom Cruise "I love Katie!!" stunt, it feels like that. But worse. Because, Loki.

I wanted to carry on fancying him rotten, not feel embarrassed for him carrying on like that. An earnest costume drama/Chekhov play indeed..

I never found him sexy at all. He's reedy and always set off my gaydar.

Myusername - I cannot disagree! Tom Hardy does indeed seem like he would be deliciously bossy in bed ;) I've heard that he can be a bit of an arse in real life but who cares, I can always kick him out of my (imaginary) bed...
