My oldest niece, Kyra, is totally in love with Tom Hiddleston. It broke her heart a little when she found out that he was dating Taylor Swift. Now mind you, she likes Taylor Swift, but as she put it, “No. This cannot be happening. This is too much for me to handle. She had Harry Styles, then Calvin Harris, NOW HIM. I can’t.”
Because of Kyra’s undying love for all things “TH”, I have decided to honor Tom Hiddleston as the first “Man of Style” in a new monthly series by the same name.
Tom Hiddleston is an English actor. Most may know him as, yes, Taylor Swift’s latest boyfriend, but you may also recognize him as Loki, Thor’s brother.
In 2011 Hiddleston portrayed novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald in writer-director Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, the noble Captain Nicholls in War Horse, a film based on the 1982 novel by Michael Morpurgo, directed by Steven Spielberg, and Freddie Page, a RAF pilot in the drama The Deep Blue Sea, alongside Rachel Weisz. In 2012, he reprised his role as the supervillain Loki in The Avengers.
On television in 2012 Hiddleston appeared in the BBC Two series The Hollow Crown, portraying Prince Hal opposite Jeremy Irons as Henry IV in the adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I and Part II. He later as appeared as King Henry V in the television film Henry V. In 2013, Hiddleston played Loki again in Thor: The Dark World,[30] following which he played a vampire, Adam, in Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive with Tilda Swinton as Eve and Mia Wasikowska.
Hiddleston appears as Jonathan Pine in the television mini-series The Night Manager based on the espionage and detective novel of the same name by John le Carré. The series started filming in Spring 2015 and is currently airing on AMC with Hugh Laurie also starring.
Hiddleston was one of the celebrities, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Jo Brand, E. L. James and Rachel Riley, to design and sign his own card for the UK-based charity Thomas Coram Foundation for Children. The campaign was launched by crafting company Stampin’ Up! UK and the cards were auctioned off on eBay during May 2014. He is also a supporter of the humanitarian and developmental assistance fund group UNICEF. He travelled to Guinea in early 2013 to help women and children and raise awareness about hunger and malnutrition. Hiddleston is a self-described feminist. (Source: Wikipedia)
This man of style is charming, respectful, and BRITISH!! He seems so genuine. He doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, and is the kind of guy that can disarm the toughest critic. He seems like the kind of guy who can make you feel like you two are the only people in the room, and yet, he is the life of the party. I can totally understand why my niece, Kyra, likes him. You can look through the thousands of pins and GIFS on Pinterest and your breath is taken away by the way he arches his eyebrows, the way he smiles, and the awesome way he dances.
So here’s to my first “Man of Style” – Tom Hiddleston.
Yours Truly,
Vanessa
