Tom Hiddleston regrets his car-crash impression of Robert DeNiro: Im a fool
It’s not that I’ve been avoiding Tom Hiddleston this week, it’s just that I didn’t see that many headlines about him. He’s been in New York, promoting The Night Manager and his other projects, but the coverage (from other media outlets) has been pretty minimal, so I didn’t really know what to discuss. But today we’re lucky, because there are two great headlines from Lord Dragonfly. Apparently, Tom watched the Doctor Strange trailer (which dropped earlier this week) and he thinks his brother Benedict Cumberbatch is killing it as Benedix Strange. And so Tom wants Loki and Strange to meet up in a future film.
“In some hypothetical world, I don’t quite know when, for Loki and Dr. Strange to share the same frame would be very exciting indeed. Because Benedict Cumberbatch is an old friend. So I would think it would be interesting to see who would get the upper hand…Truthfully, I do actually know at the moment how many more times I’m going to play Loki, but I’m not going to tell you. It’s not personal it’s just keeping it fresh for all paying customers to enjoy their films. And also I’m the God of mischief so it’s my predisposition to play games.”
He also said that he’s close friends with Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil on the Netflix series, and that he doesn’t see Loki doing a collab with Daredevil either. Mostly it just sounds like Tom is sort of over Marvel these days. He’s getting consistent work without Loki, and while he’s grateful for the exposure the Thor films gave him, he’s just over it. So, no, I don’t think Tommy and Bendy are going to be jumping around in their Loki and Strange costumes any time soon.
Meanwhile, Tom appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers this week and he admitted that he was very, very foolish to do his impression of Robert DeNiro IN FRONT OF DeNiro. We talked about that last year, and yes, Tom just seemed like an overeager puppy. When Seth asked him about it, Tom admitted: “I don’t know why I did that. I don’t know why anyone would do that. Nevertheless, I did, because I’m a fool, and it went okay.”
Here are some photos from Tom and Hugh Laurie’s TimesTalk earlier this week. Tom is a power-clasher!!! Stripes, plaid AND polka-dots!
