Tom Hiddleston on Playing Loki for 14 Years, Return of The Night Manager & First TV Job

Tom talks about it being very rainy in England, playing Loki for 14 years, whether or not he thinks of Loki as a villain, if he has held on to the horns, meeting a bunch of dogs named Loki, “The Night Manager” making its return, working with Hugh Laurie, and the first time he ever appeared on television.

Tom is the kind of man who can light up a room with his charming smile. That’s his real glorious purpose. Even if we don’t see him as Loki again, at least he got to tell the story he intended.

[soirese]

He is pure class, maybe it's a British thing, maybe it's just a wonderful upbringing, but he seems like such a nice human being.

[Sibealove]

I love Tom Hiddleston's voice, it's so soothing and easy to listen to. He's naturally charming overall, very easy to watch.

[MollyKillers]

The best thing about Tom is no matter how many times he tells a story he always is happy to tell it again and makes it interesting by putting emphasis on a different part of the story. I just love him! And I’m so excited for more Night Manager!

Good to see hiddleston is still coming with GLORIOUS PURPOSE!

He seems like such a nice human being 👏🏽

His switch to a New York American accent was amazing. 😂 And of course a New Yorker would care more about leashing up the dog than seeing a celebrity in Central Park. 😂

[Gizzzzzy]

Been waiting for a Night Manager sequel, this is what made us all think of him as Bond.

[SubKween]

Loki Season 2 was perfect! What an absolute phenomenal character Arc and transfrom for Loki. Seeing his character grow and evolve over the entire MCU was already an adventure. This show really got down to the Raw character behind the god of mischief. Why does Loki do what he does and what makes a Loki tick? That was the central question of season 1, and the central question of season 2 was, "Can Loki truly change his predestined character?" He who remains never saw that as a possibility and never accounted for it which ultimately led to his ultimate defeat with Loki's sacrifice even after trying to present Loki with the easy way out of joining him by his side and letting him take over his job or letting Slive die and letting the TVA continue their work as usual. Loki chose neither and decided to burden the responsibility of the infinite Multiverse all on his shoulders so not only his friends could have a chance of true free will but have a chance to live long and fulfilled lives without having to worry about the dictator at the top of the Multiverse. Loki gave up his forever and his life and his own Free Will so that every single individual across the Multiverse that it's infinitely expanding every second can have that luxury that he himself will never be able to truly experience ever again. He realized it's more burden than Glory to be in his position. That was the most important lesson Mobius taught him. So now he sits alone at the top of it all. A God to a Multiverse that will never be able to truly appreciate him. He will never again be able to set foot on what he now guards and protects, but he will be able to watch and continue to let the stories of the individuals he helps live thrive. He is the god of stories because not only does he have the ability to watch and listen into every individual he's giving free will to by examining their stories and their lives but he is also the only one sitting on the throne of existence itself that allows every individual living the luxury of free will. He is the reason why everyone is alive across all of existence and he is the only reason why they don't have to worry about a tyrannical dictator controlling their lives across the Multiverse. He is the only reason why anyone in the Multiverse gets to have the opportunity to live a full, free, and fulfilling life. That is now his ultimate mission, his ultimate sacrifice, his Glorious Purpose.

"hey loki, put your dog on a leash!" 😂😂

Tom is a super human being. Even though I met him very briefly for a signing at Tokyo Comic Con last Dec, he was very sincere and will look you in the eye and chat with you even for 30s, unhurried, even though there's a long line and many people to get through. Incredibly genuine, never drops his smile, AAA PR skills. Much respect

[sophfores]

I like to listen to him talk because his voice has such depth. I like him as an actor and he is so classy and down to earth.

[supernotnatural]

The Night Manager is returning? OMG! WTF I M SO EXCITED THANK U GOD

[Aboutcm]

The way he changed his accent so fast is so incredible 7:39

[semipenguin]

He’s one of those actors I thought would have been a great James Bond

[PRLIBRE_SOBERANO]

Ok this guy is the definition of elegance

[TDurden]

I just love this guy. He is so charming, well-spoken, respectful, and appreciative. Everyone, and certainly a lot of actors, could learn a lesson or two from how he conducts himself, and how he has conducted his career.

[odd_job_]

I love Tom Hiddleston, he's had great success but comes across as humble and genuinely grateful for the opportunities that he's had. He's what we call as a Great Lad or a Top Bloke!

The Night Manager was marvelous! Second season, please! AND THIRD? YES!!!
