AIBU to think Tom Hiddleston is bloody dull?

Watching Graham Norton and I don't think he's said a single thing approaching interesting or amusing.

That GQ interview was extraordinary. He came across as so needy.

This article from The Pool sums it all up quite well.

I still have a thing for him though and a massive picture of him above my desk at work, but am suitably embarrassed about it.

MrsJayy · 18/02/2017 18:19

I do like him as an actor but i refuse to fancy him although as Loki ooafft 😂

coldcanary · 18/02/2017 18:25

He's a great actor but I agree. A nice polite young man who is actually as dull as ditchwater. I turned over after 10 minutes last night, it's a great show when he has the right guests on but it just tanks some weeks.

MrsJayy · 18/02/2017 18:38

Yeah i turned over sometimes the guest mix is rubbish. Poor Tom he just wants to be cool Grin i findBenedict just as dull

What was the Taylor Swift thing?

PippaFawcett · 18/02/2017 18:43

GNorton was awful last night - too many guests, rubbish conversation and we barely got to hear anything from Ruth Wilson. Not sure why Tinie Tempah was on the couch and not just performing. Also Gervais is meant to be a huge animal lover so I'm not sure why he didn't call Tempeh on having exotic animals in his home.

MuseumOfCurry · 18/02/2017 18:46

He is mind-numbingly earnest and will never live down his Taylor Swift chapter.

MrsJayy · 18/02/2017 18:46

Tom was dating taylor swift over the summer it was hilarious we had a thread going and everything

Ordinarily · 18/02/2017 18:48

He's OK I guess. Ricky Gervais is much worse, always seems a bit sneery.

FrayedHem · 18/02/2017 19:07

I loved TayTo

His Golden Globe speech went a bit wrong for him so he's probably not in one of his singing Man in The Mirror moods

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 18/02/2017 19:08

YANBU He's dull as fuck.

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 18/02/2017 19:10

Bit of a tangent, but the last time Tiny Tempah was on, so was Julie Walters and they were hilarious together. She was like his aunt, all matter of fact. "I don't know about you Tiny, but I always find..." :o

sonyaya · 18/02/2017 19:17

Oh frayedhem I forgot about that speech - his life is one big cringe at the moment it seems

I feel a bit sorry for TH and not even a fan. He must wonder what happened as only a few years ago he was considered hot stuff with the world at his feet. He seems the type to google himself and read what folk say about him. That must be horrible.

LadyPeterWimsey · 18/02/2017 19:25

I love uncool posh boys. Blush

So I will have him. Grin

Actually he was a very cool vampire in Only Lovers Left Alive.

romany4 · 18/02/2017 19:26

YABU
He is a sexy God. That is all

coldcanary · 18/02/2017 19:28

Oh he was gorgeous in only lovers left alive! Actually I didn't know which one to fancy most, him or Tilda Swinton..
GN should have Greg Davies on every week. Especially with A listers. He tells the best stories on the sofa and the big Hollywood names can't do anything other than just sit there and piss themselves laughing!

augustusglupe · 18/02/2017 19:28

Totally agree!! And his eyes are too close together, he's not attractive, to me, atall [Hmm

Ice3 · 18/02/2017 19:28

He looks exactly like my ex so he creeps me out a bit. If he had an Irish accent I would think they were the same person. It's too weird.

FrayedHem · 18/02/2017 19:29

So sexy

AIBU to think Tom Hiddleston is bloody dull?
HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 18/02/2017 19:31

Can someone explain why it is funny that he dated Taylor swift? (I don't follow showbiz). What's wrong with her? Why was wearing that vest top a bad idea?

Somerville · 18/02/2017 19:31

I'd have guessed he was up your street LadyPeter... right down to being the right colour blue. Grin

Valentine2 · 18/02/2017 19:37

Yes oh yes! He is not interesting AT ALL. Until I see him in some really life changing role, I don't think my opinion will change. The most interesting he has managed so far was in Thor and that too was just ok.

sonyaya · 18/02/2017 19:53

hopelesslydevoted

There's nothing inherently wrong with it but he's a respected actor who was apparently seeking publicity and flaunting his relationship in a way more akin to being a member of one direction.

Because all they did was set up paparazzi shots it was just silly and very funny
